Music is the Window to the Soul

Dear Journal, Hi. This week has been alright. There was nothing interesting that happened that is interesting enough to write about here so yeah. Anyways, so over the last few weeks in English class, we have been presenting our projects about Henrietta Lacks. The assignment was to connect a moral or ethic to the book and my topic was consent. Although the cells were no longer in her body, they were still her cells and should have consulted her or her family in taking her cells for research. She was also shunned away from other hospitals that were closer to her because of the color of her skin. This assignment in my opinion was not interesting and I didn't like it. On to a new topic. So I'm still reading the independent reading book I picked out in September. It is getting towards the end and I am kind of relieved, because the book is starting to get boring. The main character, John, is still getting in trouble and not realizing he is ruining his life because of the action...

Dear Journal, Hi! My name is Kat McKenna and I love music. This blog is to follow my daily boring life where I try to find interesting things to do. This is my first year in the actual high school and so far, I don't exactly like it. There are way too many people and the work load is intense. The school smells like a foot (aka all of the sweaty teenagers that don't know how to use deodorant). But ya know, sal good! For my honors English class, I am reading an independent book called The Homecoming by Stacie Ramey. The book is about a teenage boy that got into some trouble in his past and then moved with his dad. Seven years later, he decided to come home to his mom, younger sister, and his older brother that got into a severe car accident and is now wheelchair bound and acts like his little brother instead of his older brother. Ryan, the older brother, has been violent throughout the book so far and he has a lot of anger issues. John is trying to get back on the right track ...
