New school

       
First Day of School

     
       Attending a new school is a huge adjustment. With a new school there’s numerous

unfamiliar circumstances. How would you feel if you had to leave your friends, family, and

helpful role models in order to spend 7 hours of your day with people you barely know.

Although there are confusing and scary aspects, there is also exciting opportunities as well.

This change to a new school made me feel nervous about my future, enthusiastic about a

new experience, and concerned yet eager about first impressions I'll make.
 
     I felt nervous about about my future because my grades in high school have to be

exceptional in order to get into a reputable college. It is also a priority to make memorable

and trustworthy friends because they will influence me immensely.

      In addition, it was a great opportunity to begin a new stage of life. The upcoming four

years is when we will all mature and form our characters, which will last a lifetime. 
 
      Lastly, I'm concerned about impressions I will make. This applies to teachers, friends,

and mentors. You want to be known as a kind, outgoing, humble, or considerate person.

Whatever characteristic you become known for, you want it to be an honorable one, not an

insulting one, such as inappropriate, disrespectful, and much more. 
     
       In conclusion this change to a new school brings nerves, enthusiasm, and eagerness!

Taking Notes

        Today in class we took notes from the textbook. I learned about the rise of christianity. The life and teachings of Jesus is alot of what I read. God promised that the Messiah would come and restore the kingdom of the Jews, who were enslaved by the Romans. "Jesus of Nazareth" was a Jew named Jesus who was born in the town of Bethlehem. He was a carpenter. He was baptized by John the Baptist the prophet. Around the age of thirty is when Jesus began his public ministry. He preached, taught, did good works, and miracles. He taught and believed monotheism. Christianity was a growing movement whose source of teachings is the Gospels. The twelve men that followed Jesus were the apostles. Jesus and his apostles teachings started attracting larger and larger crowds. And ofcourse Jesus never focused on wealth or status. I learned alot from the textbook today.

Patricians and Plebs

        Today in class we took more notes on Rome. Because of the recent terrible reign of the king (mentioned in last blog) and his terrible behavior, the people decided they would never be subject to the rulings of a king ever again. This attitude lasted for about four centuries. The rule of kings was replaced with consuls. Consuls were elected officials. Their term of office was one year. They were always patricians. Patrician is the roman term for aristocrat. The consuls duties consisted of dealing justice, making a law, and commanding the army. The Plebs (people) challenged the Patricians. The plebs were 98% of the population. They were angry that there was no actual laws, just unwritten customs. They said they would not return to the army until laws were formed. We learned a lot today.

Test

        Today we took our test and it was open blog. I feel confident in how I did. My grade in this class is currently not a good grade. I'm hoping this test will bring my grade up. It was aslo jillian's birthday. I recognized all the information on the test, but for some questions a few details slipped my head and I took an educated guess. I also have some notes from last class that I didn't fit into my last blog. Pax Romana was a time of piece that lasted two hundred seven years. Ofcourse this roman peace was a struggle to obtain. There was forty years of stability and peace while Ceaser Augustus ruled as emporer. Next there was an age of emporers. During this time their was some good, some bad, and some insane emporers. Tiberius ruled as an excellent general, yet a reluctant leader. After his sin died he left Rome and quit the job. He died at age seventy seven. We had a good class.
