quiz on athenian democracy, socrates, and a message to Garcia

  • an idiot in Athenian democracy was someone who was characterized by self-contentedness and concerned almost exclusively with private as to opposed to public-affairs
  • in Athenian democracy, idiots were born and citizens were made through education
  • declining to take part in public life, such as democratic government of the polis (city state) was considered dishonorable
  • the unexamined life is not worth living -Socrates

In class today, we talked about the quiz we are having tomorrow. I think there are going to be questions about the main people and events that occurred in the time periods we studied. I think there are also going to be questions about the book Elbert Hubbard wrote like how many languages it was written in and the amount of copies were sold. I think the bonus question is going to have something to do with Elbert Hubbard. I also think the fill in the blank answers are going to just be names and years.

Letter To Future Me

Dear Future Mackenzie,            Today is June 3, 2020. I am fourteen years old at John Carroll High School. I am currently in all honors classes and working to be in the same next year. I'm really hoping we've made it somewhere we've dreamed of. Playing D1 lacrosse as a starting freshman at maybe an IVY league college. I'm currently looking Princeton, Brown, U PENN, maybe even Yale and Harvard. Other than the IVY league school I'm really only interested in east coast school, mainly because 1.) they know how to really play lacrosse and 2.) as crazy as it sounds, I don't think I can be that far away from my family, I mean I would like them to see my games (and not just on tv). I can't choose between astrophysics or forensic psychiatry to study, but I know once I take a physics or forensic science class I'll know my decision. Sometimes I feel as though I'm not that into lacrosse as I make it seem because of all the pressure to be amazing and perfect ...

High school

Having two older brothers that went to the same high school that I did is a big advantage. They have told me how to get out of things, how to deal with each teacher, and the struggle it is to juggle sports and school. I realized that what they told me about that is very true, I'm experiencing it right now. Walking into John Carroll playing multiple school sports and a club sport I knew it was going to be challenging, but I didn't think it was going to be this difficult. I woke up at 6:15, went to school till 2:45 without any mods off, went straight to volleyball practice for three hours and stayed an extra twenty minutes back to have a meeting with the coaches, went to lacrosse workouts and training for two hours, got home around 8:45, ate serial as dinner, and am now completing my homework. I am emotionally, physically, and mentally drained and its only the second day of school. But here I am at nine, eating funions, drinking coffee, and watching That 70's Show (all amazin...
