Diana Sousa Week 9

Hello!!!

This week I followed social media and the news a lot and I think it is very wrong that in the 21st century there is still prejudice.

Protests against racism have been going on for a long time and  in honour of George Floyd, but this week I had time and was investigating a little more and I realized that in the century we are in, with the knowledge that is at our disposal, with the anti-prejudice laws imposed on us, racism should no longer be a topic right now!

"Black lives matter" is the most heard phrase on the streets around the world right now! We are all important, we are all the same, we all deserve respect because it is not our skin color, sexual orientation, religion, the way dress, the school we attend or  the house we live in that define us, these are our values, that yes it defines who we are and that is what is important!

After what happened with George Floyd , I realized that it is not enough to be not racist, we have to be anti-racist because while some people do not know how to live with other people, the anti-racism, the fight against homophobia, xenophobia and against any other type of prejudice will have to be themes of the current society!

Nothing justifies prejudice, nothing justifies inequality, we are all human and our attitudes must agree with what we are and racism and other prejudices are unjustified inhumane attitudes!

We should all stop to think and reflect on our actions, because we are often affecting people and we don't realize it, and other times we get hurt because we want to and feel good about it and that is wrong.

So ... I hope you are all well. 

Have a good week and stay safe! Kiss!

Diana Sousa Week 10

Hello!!!       I hope everyone is okay! In this text, I will not talk about my week, I will talk about this school year. It all started when I joined a new class, where I barely knew anyone, where I was seen as "the one who comes from the problematic class". All of these factors did not favor me and prevented the approach and adaptation to the new class. I went through this difficult phase, but it was worth it, because in the end I ended up meeting incredible people who are always ready to help, but there are still hose I don't know or at least I don't speak to very often, which for me is a little strange, because despite coming from a class full of problems, it was in this class that I felt good, where we all talked, we were all together, everyone knew each other and this is for me the true meaning of "class". The fact that I don't feel truly adapted to this new group makes me a little uncomfortable, confused and sad but each one is as he/she is

Heyyyy guys!! I can’t believe that this is my last day in the 10th grade..this school year passed so quickly but at the same time so slowly.. At the beginning of the year I met new people and made new friends, I had new subjects and I felt a big difference compared to other years. I think that I worked hard to achieve my goals and I also felt some pressure coming from myself to achieve them, but what is life without any pressure or adrenaline? Anyway I’m proud of myself as well as of the people around me, which makes me very happy and grateful for everything I’ve been through. My friends, family and teachers supported me a lot this school year, so it also helped me when I was sad or when something hadn’t worked out for me. It was a mix of emotions from September until now and I’m relieved to know that the school year is over, but I’m also sad because I couldn’t say goodbye to my friends and teachers personally, like I always do.   I really enjoyed sharing my weekly routine

I’ve been in quarantine for over a month and now I never know what day it is... lol. I like to stay at home, because I have a lot of things to do here. I live in a quiet place surrounded by nature so I can easily go outside and walk while I breathe fresh air. I’ve seen a lot of movies and series, I have also coloured some drawings, I’ve played some games, I’ve baked a lot and I’ve also done some workout. I feel happy because now me, my parents and my sister spend more time together and that’s so nice, but on the other hand, I also feel sad because I can’t see my friends and my family in person and I know that I can talk with them on the  phone but it’s not the same thing. I was used to going to my grandparents’ house every day and now I can’t go there and I miss them so much but I know that it’s because of their health.  I never thought that this virus would have so many consequences but there’s one thing we can conclude: the environment has improved a lot so we can see
