Today in class we had a group assignment on "The Jealous Father". I learned a story about a father that was jealous of his son because he believed the son was being intimate with his wife. What I got from the lesson was Jealousy and insecurity clouds your judgement. I plan to take this lesson as a reminder to not overreact. I had a good day and enjoyed class because I like working in groups.

None of my middle school friends know what happened to him but I hope he's doing well.

I learned new vocabulary words. It could possibly help in the future to improve my writing.

Both sides have their reasons and it's important to remember that standing for the pledge is not mandatory in the U.S. I had a good time in class and learned something new.
