News

      26 years later, a Croatian court decided to reject a claim that Croatia's 1979 abortion law was unconstitutional. Over a 12-1 vote the request was unsuccessful in Croatia's Court. It is believed the rejection of the claim took long due to Croatia being under communism; Croatia declared their independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, following was a four year war with Serbia. Although, abortion is legal in Croatia, the amount of abortions has dropped approximately from 14,282 abortions in 1995 to 2,992 abortions in 2015. A considerable factor for the statistic is the desire for less children in Europe.
    The author of the article is named Maria Dalgarno, Dalgarno is most likely an advocate for the pro-life movement being the site is dedicated to those who disagree with abortion. I personally believe the claims for abortion being unconstitutional to be valid: abortion is a complex topic, and took me more than a year to form a stance on abortion. I've realized that deciding whether something lives or dies based only off to your convenience is morally bad. Abortion is an unnecessary tactic, there are alternative solutions. That is my stance on abortion.

Reflection

Already being seventy-five percent into my ninth-grade year of Episcopal High School, it's time I've become more analytical with my decisions as a student as I am currently not. I can reach my full potential in academia when I finish assignments approximately two days before the projected due date. This allows me to be more flexible as a person and increased opportunities for leisure. As a reader, I've become more observant of the structure and word choice used, although these seemingly have no significant value, doing this has helped me become aware of writing tactics. As a writer, I feel on any given day if I had the compassion to write a paper I could write an "A worthy" essay, poem, or personal narrative. Yet I'm struggling to find the compassion and find myself reverting to my careless writing that continuously fails to impress, proving to be mediocre.

As a student, I'm hoping to become more compliant and to maintain a strong work ethic. The formation of an organized schedule would only do me better, so that has to come into the game. As a reader, I have to experience the fluidity of the work and embrace the meaning of the writing; I do this by reading the work once and admiring the writing, then the second time, begin to analyze the work. As a writer, I have to develop an extensive vocabulary, so I will be taking an advantage of vocabulary.com.  

Track

This season in track has breezed by so quickly. It felt like yesterday when I was filled with energy coming off of soccer to step on the track and prove myself. Those moments of pain, suffering, and questioning my own ability pay off to an incomprehensible amount of satisfaction. That being said, I was confused on how I felt when a fellow track runner revealed that track season is coming to an end. I reflected on negatives and positives based off of experiences during a simple 15 minute run.
     I quickly discovered track is a win-win. Not only am I improving mentally and physically exponentially each week; the progress only comes at a small cost of two hours of your time. Coming to this conclusion, I felt inconsolable, and not to my surprise, 15 minutes had past. Although, the end of this track season coming soon is inevitable, that does not prevent me from looking forward unto further track seasons to which I can experience great moments and reflect on precious memories with my teammates.
