Break My Stride - Matthew WilderSo, humanities. We’ve recently begun practicing some essay writing in preparation for the SAT. I have had some experience writing essays in the past (As last year we had to create an SAT style essay for our final project) so I’m not too wary about it. All in all it’s actually been pretty nice to get a refresher and I guess you could say I' pretty content about writing an essay.
Going back to the actual writing we’ve learned on what basis we'll be scored on, how to create an outline, and finally how to pace ourselves when writing the actual SAT essay. I’m pretty excited to apply what I’ve learned to the SAT! Humanities honors has helped me learn even more about strategy and pacing so that's a bonus. Now in regards to biology, we’ve been listening to some Ted Talks and reading articles regarding nature and the brain. I think it's pretty interesting how exposure to nature can be incredibly beneficial to mental health, I also found this information to be useful as a subtopic for my topic, which is chemical medicine. Regarding what I've earned through the Ted Talks: I believe where exposure to nature can come into play for my topic would be in the holistic medicine area; a medical practice in which incorporates the use of mainly herbs. Overall with the SAT looming behind our backs for what seems like years, it's now only a week away. I find myself surprisingly relaxed I don’t feel a sense of urgency nor fear. I feel pretty normal, but who knows. Perhaps the day of the SAT I’ll break down in tears and feel unprepared? But I quite honestly doubt that will happen.
