Today I will be writing about what has been going on in my English class. It has bee very productive this week. My class have been learning about close reading and how it can help us. Also how to actually do it. I'm not really a reading type of guy. Honestly I never even really read a whole book. I may have read some pages , but not every single page. I know that's probably bad , but books really bore me and I can stay focused. But actually reading a text and annotating it helps me get a better understanding of it. That's what we have been doing in class. Also when annotating a text it helps me, so when I foget what I just read I can look at my notes and it can remind me or give me a little summary of what the text is about. So I kind of like what we have been doing in class. I like it because it can help me in the future. And what I mean by the future is COLLEGE because I heard I will have to be doing a lot of reading when I get there. 

Passion is a something that everyone has for something in their life. The definition of passion is a strong and barely controllable emotion. I do not have a passion for a lot of things but i have a passion for more than one thing. I have a passion for basketball. I do not know why i love the game of basketball so much. It never was clear to me how i could be so angry in the day, but when i touch a ball and play everything leaves my mind that was making me feel angry. I guess i can say basketball clears my mind, might even make me emotionless for the moment. I Been playing ball since i was about five years old. I may not be the best in basketball, but that will not make me stop playing and chasing my dreams. I am not dumb though. I have a plan B and that is to graduate high school and college when i get there.That is my other passion, to graduate. It is my passion because i been in school probably since five and now i am seventeen. So i do not want all this time to go to waist. Also i want my mother to be proud of me, also my father even though he is not here with me. Just to walk across that stage and be handed my diploma will feel like the best accomplishment i have ever achieved. Those are my two passions and my two passions only.
