Blog #4: Issues of AI

 Meditation reviews: The past few classes I have been coming in angry. I don't know why but I feel like everything is out to get me on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have come to appreciate Dora and the silence I get from our medications, even if it is short. I hope we continue to do them.

Now for my topic. This happened yesterday and it made me concerned.

I went to my pre-calc teacher that I had in Sophomore year to ask her a question concerning my college applications. I spent 3 years on Central's Math League team that she ran. It gave me extra credit on all of my tests and was only a few hours a month. I just wanted to ask her what place we ended up getting, so I could add it to my description of the activity. After some thought, she said we came third, but then she said I could use AI on it. On her computer was ChatGPT. What I asked had nothing to do with AI. I said, jokingly, that we couldn't use AI on our college applications, that they would know and surely reject us. But then she seriously continued, adding how it can help us with our activity descriptions and other small things. This made me realize how different our generation has it. The people reading our submissions aren't noticing who we are and what we bring to their school, they are just checking for originality. 

This was nothing major, just a brief interaction I had that opened my eyes to the new reality highschool seniors live in. We have to learn to adapt and prove that our applications are more than AI, when that shouldn't even be needed in the first place.

Blog #5: My weekend

Friday was a good day. Central had a delayed opening so I started school at 9ish and ended at 11:11am. Then I went home and took a nice refreshing nap. I woke up, ate, and immediately got ready for the football game. It was senior night, so I had to put on my full uniform even though it was chilly out and I was so cold. The game was really fun. We won by a lot and hit our halftime routine. Our coach got us a big box of Crumbl cookies to eat. I went home and went back to bed. Saturday was very busy. I woke up at 8am and got ready for cheer practice. I stopped at Dunkin first and then drove me and my sister to the gym. We practiced until 11am. Practice was good, we are finally making progress and preparing for our first competition. Then we went straight from cheer to Wawa for lunch. I got a chicken caesar wrap and an energy drink. I took us straight to work where I was at until 10:30pm. It was a long day but very productive. I made money and was a hard worker. My legs ached. It was easy...

Blog #1: My Writing Autobiography

     The first time I remember writing something that wasn’t for school was on New Year’s Eve in 2018. I was ten years old and decided to make a bucket list for the upcoming year. I also wrote a letter to my future self. I wanted to write out what I wanted to improve on, so I wouldn’t forget. Some goals related to cheerleading, like getting my back tuck and improving my flexibility. I also added things like stopping cursing and drinking less soda. Looking back at it now, it was pretty mature for 10-year-old me.      The most recent thing I wrote just for myself was a ranking of all the energy drinks I’ve tried. I include descriptions next to each one, so I know which flavors to buy again. In case you are curious, my favorites are Hawaiian Shaved Ice Alani and Strawberry Passionfruit Celsius. No one asked me to make the list, I just enjoy keeping track of small things that matter to me.      One default setting I didn’t realize I had when it c...
