A letter to my future self


Dear Gabriella Fernanda Steck,

Freshman year was not what we expected it to be. I became close with people I never thought I would. I didn't talk as much to people that I thought I would be close with. The work wasn't as bad as we thought. Most of all, the year didn't end how we expected it to end. In march 2020 schools shut down because of coronavirus. I remember the exact day too, it was Friday the 13th, I was outside running track and someone on track said they just heard the news that schools would be shut down or 2 weeks. It all started with 2 weeks, then it was another 2 weeks, then a month, and before we knew it our freshman year was over. The coronavirus has effected me. I haven't gotten the virus but I am petrified that will. The main reason I am scared to get it is because my grandfather had heart disease, diabetes, and he smokes. I wouldn't want to get it and then give it to him because I live with him. Seeing people in grocery stores where every single person is wearing a mask is scary. Ive always had bad anxiety but its been worse. I feel as if I'm in a horror movie. Just the other day I received the news that one of my family friends had got the coronavirus. I was in shock at first and then I started to become worried and ask my dad a lot of questions. They say the disease effects different people in different ways, but I feel as if I were to get it,  I would be the person to get a bad case. The coronavirus was very unexpected. There has been multiple theories about it but I really do believe people should take this time in quarantine to reflect on themselves and their relationship with God because who knows, this could be the end of the world....

COVID-19 has surely brought a change to the entire world! Students and teachers are facing new challenges such as, being more independent with work, having more work, not being able to get feedback, having to stress over the amount of work someone gives us or we have to do etc. Cyber school is different to some classes, especially class of 2020, but most likely not teachers who have worked at JC a while. From what I've been told, there have been cyber days when we've had off school for snow, but not nearly as long of a break like this. Students have new responsibilities like waking up at a decent time so they don't ruin their sleep schedule, getting all their work done inn a good bout of time so they aren't stressed, not plagiarizing or cheating so they don't go against the honor pledge etc. Students really need to get done time management. Teachers have new responsibilities and goals too like giving enough work where they are able to grade it in a decent time, actu

The Parthenon:   The Pantheon is supposedly one of the most important buildings of classical Greece. The Pantheon was made based of the Doric order, which was a popular way to make buildings in Ancient Greece. The Parthenon was a building dedicated to the goddess of Athens, Athena. Before that it was a former Athenian Acropolis. As the Athenian empire was at its peak in 447 BCE that's when the construction started on this building. Some of the design of this building also belongs to the Ionic order. The Ionic order: People identified the Ionic order by its vaulted capital. There are some similarities between the Doric design and the Ionic design such that The cushion placed on top of the column is shaped like the Doric order. In Ionic order, columns are very narrow with shallow flutes that do not make a sharp edge, but have a flat band between them.

From Prehistory to Civilization

Before civilizations in the prehistoric era,   200,000 years ago a human species emerged into central Africa. the earliest prehistoric age is the Paleolithic age also known as the goldstone age. There was also the neolithic age know as the new Stone Age. During the prehistoric are there was the agricultural revolution. During this time villagers were polytheistic, populations grew due to increased ability to produce a surplus of food, status of women was lowered as women were confined to more domestic duties, and the invention of the plow and wheel made it possible to produce enough food for storage. Some modern day countries that are part of the fertile crescent are- turkey, seria and Iraq. Jordan was not ( quiz question). Mesopotamia is home  of the earliest cities. A district knows an Sumer occupied the land between Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Due to irrigation techniques population increased. Better food storage in the cities allowed for diversity in professions. Sumerians invente
