Wrestling Season

 Now that October has started, the winter sports are right around the corner. This means wrestling season for me. We've been doing preseason work since the school year started, but our official practices start on Monday. Soon after that, we will start to compete. 

After my high school career ended, I had a few knee injuries to deal with. I had two surgeries on the meniscus in my left knee and one surgery on my right knee. Because of the long recovery process, I haven't competed since my last season ended in March and I just started practicing again recently. Because this has been my longest break from competition and is also my freshman year, there is a lot of anticipation going into this season. 

There is also a lot of excitement going into this season for the team as well. Last year, North Central finished 3rd as a team at nationals. This year, almost everyone is back along with a good freshman class, so we are ranked 2nd in country. This isn't bad, but we expect to win the tournament and become the 2023 national champs. We're going to make history as a team this year, so there is a lot to be excited about.

    It's quite incredible that you have the will and determination to get back up and do wrestling again. I know that doing any sport takes an extreme amount of effort, time and determination. After getting to talk with you for a bit, I have faith that you will do good.

Naps Are Good

 In class today, I spent a lot of time doing research and developed a thesis for my rational argument essay. I decided to to only focus on the benefits of naps, rather than discussing any controversy. My thesis states: Contrary to what many people think, naps can be very beneficial if done the right way.  I decided to only focus on the positive side of naps after having a long conversation with Dr. Kyburz. While talking, I discovered that I really enjoy naps. I take a nap almost every day, and they are usually good. Because of this, it will be much easier to argue for the benefits of napping rather than arguing both sides.  My argument will be much more genuine, making it more enjoyable to write and read. I will also be able to get deeper into the topic because I'm only arguing one side. For each source I quote, I will have a deep dive into how in contributes to my thesis. I will also discuss some challenges with naps, but I'll write about them as challenges to overcome i...

Chasing Coral

    A specific scene that stood out to me was the part when the corals unusually started glowing neon. No one knew why this was happening at first, but they found that the corals did this in order to protect themselves from climate change. The bright colors reflect the light, reducing the heat that the corals absorb. This is fascinating but also very sad because they are only doing this because they are so close to dying. Turning neon is their last stand against the rising temperature of their habitat.    It surprised me that coral are considered animals, not plants. And they are also very very big. I thought corals were tiny things living together, but they are very big in reality. Corals are made up of thousands of things called polyps and they all have mouths and stomachs just like animals. They also coexist with plants that live on top of them. These plant cells make food that the corals can eat. Another thing that surprised me was the fact that parrotfish e...

Naps Rational Argument

    Since developing my thesis that naps are good, I've finished my first rough draft. Although I put it off a long time, the actual writing process has been fairly easy. I think this is due to the fact that I have a strong interest in my topic and I'm somewhat passionate about proving that naps are beneficial.       My will to prove that naps are good is mostly because of how personal they are to me. I take a nap most days. This makes my argument partially biased, but I don't think that's a bad thing. My positive experience taking naps contributes greatly to my argument because it appeals to, ethos and pathos. I have credibility because I personally take naps. I also appeal to emotion because I know how it feels when I need to take a nap and how much better I feel afterwards. In order to appeal more to logos, I found multiple studies on the topic.      It hasn't been hard to find studies and articles backing my claim that naps are beneficial...
