We had a test today about A Message to Garcia, Socrates, and Athenian democracy. I think I did pretty good on it, I might have gotten a 100% but I'm not sure it's in your hands. I didn't know the bonus question but I knew it started with a D but it's okay cause I feel really good about the rest of the quiz. I think my essay question answers were pretty good too. I think that I put in my best effort and put in all the information I knew about the topic question. I also think that mine were a good length, they weren't as long as some of the over achiever in the class. My essays that I type for English are probably my best ones. But I do feel good about the essay questions from today's quiz. I think I did really good on this test and am ready for any other ones.

Pericles used the money from the league's treasury to make the Athenian navy the strongest in the Mediterranean. A strong navy wa...

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 ...
