  I don’t exactly have a favorite poem or favorite poet, as I am not much of a person to like poems. But I did read a poem earlier called ‘The Voice’. I am assuming this poem talks about how there is a voice in your head the tells you what is right and what is wrong. Even though it is pretty much you talking to yourself, but mentally, sometimes it feels like it takes over and controls your life.

   Who? Daniel Burnham was an architect and an urban designer. He was the Director of Works for the Chicago World’s Fairy/World’s Columbian Exposition. The landscape architect was name Fredrick Law Olmsted.    What? The fair is held to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival at America. There was a pool in the middle of the fair to represent his long trip. Chicago had bested Washington D.C., New York City, and St. Louis for the honor of hosting the fair. This fair was also the first for amusements, it had a Ferris wheel that was built by George Ferris.    When? The fair was opened on May 1st, 1893 and ended on October 30th, 1893.

  One of my quarter four goals is to participate in class more. For instance, raising my hand more often to answer questions in class.

   During spring break, all I really did was play games on my Switch. On Wednesday, it was my friend Tiegan’s birthday. She was going to take 3 of her friends to see the movie Love, Simon. So she took me, Jimmy, and Ava. She picked me up at around 11:00 am and we left for the movies. We got popcorn and slushees, the movie was really interesting and I really enjoyed it. A few days later, I was of course, playing Splatoon 2. At 11:00 pm on Friday, April 6th, to Saturday, April 7th (also 11:00 pm) there was an event on Splatoon 2 called a Splatfest. The theme for the event was Baseball (Pearl’s Team) vs Soccer (Marina’s Team) I ended up choosing Soccer. Once the Splatfest has started I was playing for Team Soccer with my friends until around 3 AM then went to sleep. I played a bit on Saturday when I woke up until my rank was Soccer Queen. Sadly, Soccer lost and Baseball won. On my last day of Spring Break I went to a baptism for my cousins baby named Dominick.
