In this unit, we started off with taking a personality test and analyzing it. We then moved on to identify different ‘This I Believe’ essays, and it was interesting to see how many different beliefs each writers had. This then led to the writing of our own This I Believe essay and video.
This unit had taught me more about how to write an essay better to catch the reader’s attention, and how to use figurative languages and good transitional phrases in essays.

Sleeping is an important part of living, it gives us the energy that we need to last throughout the day, and also improves our overall well being. Every night, a high school student should get at least 8 hours of sleep; however, most high schoolers only get at most, or fewer than 6 hours of sleep due to procrastination, lots of work to do, or even just not being able to sleep. Due to insufficient sleep, it could lead to poor mental health which would then affect not only their academics, but also their social life.
One way to get enough sleep is not procrastinating and prioritizing the more important goals to do first, such as school work. So, instead of watching the television right after coming home from school, finishing your assignments that are due the next day is a better idea. A way that your own time can be managed is creating a schedule to plan out your entire day. This could make you feel more productive, reduce stress levels, and could also save time. When doing work, it is important to avoid distractions. For example, when your phone receives a notification, you would probably immediately check the notification, and it would then lead to you unintentionally scrolling through Instagram. Therefore, turning on ‘Do Not Disturb’ on your phone is a good way to keep you focused on your task, similar to how you would not want your notifications to wake you up when you are asleep.
Other than getting inadequate sleep, you should also not be getting too much sleep, which is about over 11 hours. This could increase the risk of diabetes, strokes, and even death. Getting excessive sleep could be caused by not getting enough sleep the night before, this could also lead to an irregular sleep schedule, such as sleeping during the day and waking up at night. A way to fix an irregular sleep schedule is to make sure not to take naps, and to stay active during the day.
Getting sufficient sleep is about as important as eating, or even breathing. It makes us healthier mentally and physically, improving our mood, and also helps us think clearer. Making sure that you are getting enough sleep by sleeping at least 8 hours before when you should wake up, not procrastinating or being distracted when you are supposed to do your work, and being active.
