Write about a truth you were afraid to accept.

 Prompt: I have always known that as long as I am here, in the U.S, I will not be able to see my family back in Guatemala. I have been here for about 9 and a half unable to go anywhere else but the U.S.. The sad truth is that I won´t be able to have memories with my family which was something I didn't want to accept. I want to see my grandparents age, my younger cousins grow, and see our crops grow. I long to hug my grandparents before they pass  away and be able to laugh with them. Although my village is very dangerous, I want to learn self defense to protect myself and my family before traveling there. Once I am there, I want to feel the breeze in my hair, the earthy smell, and the rustling sound of the leaves at the top of a mountain. I am afraid to accept the truth that I won´t be able to make memories in Guatemala with my family. 

Summary: Today we took notes on argumentation and reviewed the rhetorical appeals. 

Reflection: I am very afraid to accept a truth that has low possibilities of happening. However, that doesn´t stop me from trying to accomplish it.

If you could plan the perfect spring break with no limitation, money, time, or responsibilities—what would it look like? Where would you go, who would you bring, and what would you do?

Prompt Response:  If I could plan the perfect spring break with no limitation, I would go to my home country. I would take my family that lives in the U.S  to visit the rest of our family. I would bring a lot of gifts for everyone and valuable knowledge that could help with their daily life. Once I am there, I would spend my time having fun and reliving childhood memories. I would look into what I was like growing, what I liked, and my baby pictures. I would want to hear stories from my grandparents and my aunt and uncles to get to know them better. I would also buy many things for them and make sure they travel around our country like taking them to the beach or go see the Maya pyramid. This is what I would if I had no limitations over the break although it's too short.  Summary: I didn't have his class today  Reflection:  I finished the blog post

Describe a real-life situation in which jealousy negatively affected a relationship you experienced.

 Promt response: Since we started school, my best friend has a friend which she talks to every time she sees her more than me. Whenever I do the same or show more friendliness to my other friends, she questions why I act that way, so in return, I ask her the same thing but with her friend. I was questioning who her best friend was because since we met we had a strong connection with each other. We both realized that if we get jealous over situations like that, then our bond could break. We don't want that, so we are making our bond even stronger now and trust that our bond is stronger than jealousy. Summary: Today we read and discussed The Jealous Father and worked on a project about it.   Reflection:  The Jealous Father made me think how jealousy can make you do unthinkable actions to people who are close to you. I realize that action with jealousy can break and hurt the people involved.

If you had to write a poem about your life RIGHT NOW, what would it be about? Explain your answer in at least 4 to 5 sentences.

  Prompt Response:   If I had to write a poem right now, I would write about possibilities in the future. I have many things I like and find interesting, and I can't seem to decide on what I want to commit to. I am afraid I might choose the wrong path that won't take me anywhere. I feel a sense of urgency to figure out what I will do in the future, so I want to try things I am already good at.   Summary: Today we took notes on how to write a rhetorical analysis. Reflection:  I took good notes and did the blog post.
