Share your personal tips for preparing for major exams. Include what works best for you—flashcards, study groups, practice tests, etc.—and why.

When preparing for major exams, I find that using a combination of practice tests, flashcards, and structured study sessions works best. Practice tests help me identify weak areas and get comfortable with the exam format, making me feel more confident on test day. Flashcards are great for memorizing key terms, formulas, and concepts, especially when using apps like Anki or Quizlet for spaced repetition. I also break my study time into focused sessions with short breaks (the Pomodoro technique), which helps me retain information without burning out. While study groups can be helpful for discussing complex topics, I prefer to study solo first to grasp the material before reviewing it with others. Lastly, getting enough sleep and staying hydrated ensures my brain stays sharp. By combining these strategies, I maximize my retention and performance on exam day!

Privacy is essential for feeling safe and secure, and when it's compromised, it can lead to a loss of trust and a sense of powerlessness. It’s a deeply personal matter, especially in today’s world, where our digital presence is a significant part of our lives. As for whether privacy is a basic civil liberty , it is. Today we read a poem in class called Refugee In America by Langston Hughes. In this poem, it actually taught me a lot of things. About freedom and liberty, in the poem he talks about how he loves freedom. But when he talks about liberty he knows he's not free.

What is the most important aspect of your identity? Tell what it is and why.

Family and Community, Family ties and strong community bonds are often central to Black African American identity. History of Struggle and Resilience, The legacy of slavery, civil rights struggles, and ongoing battles against systemic racism shape much of the identity for Black African Americans. Music genres like jazz, blues, hip-hop, gospel, and other art forms, are often viewed as vital expressions of identity. Today in class we had to read a poem called I, Too by Langston Hughes. This short poem talks about Langston Hughes in a white family, and he is being treated bad, but he doesn't care. When reading this poem, it teaches me that you can do or be anything in life. After reading it, we had to create a mask about ourselves.
