"Fences" introduction

 Today in Multicultural Literature, we answered introduction questions regarding the play "Fences." In class, we discussed these questions and determined the purpose, use, and consequences of fences, metaphorically and in the real world. The questions got me to think about my neighborhood and the types of fences that are present, mostly chain-link and wooden. I am doing fine.

Prompt: Write about a conversation that changed you.

 The first time I heard about my parents upbringing was the first conversation that significantly changed me. Before my parents told me about their upbringing I hadn’t given it much thought considering I was still in Elementary School.

Initially, I was only familiar with a few of the words seen in the vocabulary, but now i’m beginning to learn the rest of the vocabulary words. Learning new vocabulary words helps to make people’s writing more convoluted. I am doing good.

 I took a major hiatus from chess during sophomore and junior year of high school. My father taught me how to play chess casually at a young age but I begun learning actual chess theory during the 2020 covid year. Online chess was one of my favorite hobbies during quarantine and I played in a few online tournaments. I enjoyed playing chess online until sophomore year where I ended up becoming bored with chess and moving on to something else. A few months ago, I logged onto my online chess account and queued into a few chess games. I immediately realized how much I had forgotten about chess, primarily the memorization of the chess openings I would used to play. From that moment on, I learned the importance of consistency.
