Summer Activities


For my summer, I had many activities I had done. About a few days after school ended, I went on an EF Tour trip to Italy and Greece with my peers from Linda Marquez and another group from Kansas City. The first day was pure flying and I spent my day in LAX and the airport of Canada. I actually enjoyed Canada and I had some coffee with my best friend Kar and I talked to my brother who was at home. The airplane ride to Italy was extremely long, it was a total of 12 exhausting hours. When we arrived to Rome,Italy, the whole group was exhausted and we still had a long tour of the city. The next few days we stayed in Rome and we saw many sights such as the Colosseum and the Vaticans. It was really pretty just tiring and VERY packed. After Rome, we took a ferry to get to Greece. Greece was very pretty and less packed than Italy. The people in Greece were much nicer to us and the sights were breathtaking. After touring around Greece, we went on a cruise around Greek islands and my all time favorite was either Santorini or Mykonos. I do miss the trip but I had many downs over there as I missed my family and was anxious about their safety. When I came back home I took a day off and then went straight to volunteering at LAC+USC medical center. At first, I worked only 4 hours but then changed my schedule to 8 hours every day except Tuesday. I did this to complete my hours quicker, and by the end of this tremendous experience, I completed a total of 200 hours. My summer also included band practice which was exhausting since we were practicing in the heat for about 2 hours. I really enjoyed my summer this year as I was quite occupied with many activities, however, it was not as perfect as I imagined due to personal issues.

The Internet is Broken

My Opinion on "The Internet is Dead" Tim Berners mentions in this video how he believes th Internet is broken. He stresses the fact that the internet is not a place where many connect with one another. Berners mentions how the internet is filled with fake news, hate speech, and a lack of privacy. I compeltely agree with his statement. Th internet is not a safe place anymore. The internet holds issues not only dealing with the ones listed previosuly but issues such as cyberbullying. The internet makes it easier for people to send hate towards oen another and spread rumors quicker than ever. This appiles to me because I have seen these issues happen. Not long ago, the creator of Facebook was sent to court because he was accussed of selling user's information. This is a major concern and a violation of privacy. It is not ethcial. The internet was meant to be a place where connections occur but now it is a place where people disband.

Winter Break My winter break was pretty lonely. I sat down in my couch and played Super Smash Bros. by myself. I didn't really go out much. I did hang out with my friends some days but in those days I wasn't feeling myself. I also hung out with my favorite person twice and it was really nice. It's nice to hang out with him and just sit and talk about our lives and future plans. I didn't meet anyone new nor did I reconnect with anyone. I watched Infinity War with my friend Karissa at her brother's party by that was pretty much it. I didn't watch or play sports since it isn't my thing. I didn't have CTR experiences ): . I read two new books called the "Brave New World" and "The Road". They were amazing books based on dystopian worlds. I did all the homework that our English teacher left us.
