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.

Write about a conversation that changed you.

  Prompt Response: The conversation that change me was a conversation about a growth mindset. In one of my classes, I met a new guy in my life and we gradually became friends. One of our conversations was about his goals and plans in life. I listened while he was passionately talking about how he was going to join the army for mere personal achievement, and what career he was going to take after finishing his military service. I had never met someone who had a personal growth mindset, so it inspired me to apply that mindset to not be ¨ wasted potential ¨. He emphasized how everyone has the potential given by God to become something in life and that there are opportunities for everyone to find. This changed how I view my possible potential of greatness, so I should thrive for a growth mindset.  Summary: We started writing evidence worksheet for two articles.  Reflection:  I will finish finding and writing evidence for the prompt.

Reflect on your reading of Into the Wild chapters 1–10. Which chapter stood out to you the most, and why? In your response, explain what specifically made this chapter meaningful, interesting, or impactful. You may consider elements such as McCandless’s actions, a key event, a theme, or Krakauer’s storytelling

Prompt Response:  The chapter that stood out to me was chapter 6. In chapter 6, McCandless met Franz who was a like father figure to him. This chapter is interesting to me because it shows how McCandless was a charismatic person that was able to make meaningful, brief relationships along his journey. This is also the first time that McCandless had someone who cared deeply for him and taught him.  Summary: Today we took a test for chapter 1-10 Reflection:  I finished the test

If you had to describe how you show love using only three objects (for example: a playlist, a hoodie, a late-night snack, a long text message, etc.), what would you choose and why? Explain what each object represents and how it connects to your personality.

Prompt Response:  I would choose gifts, kind notes, and camera to show my love for the people I care about. I love making gifts for others and finding things that make me remember them. I also like writing nice things about them to remind them how special they are to me and because I tend to be shy to say it out aloud. Finally, I would choose a camera to take pictures of them and remember the happy memories. I feel these objects show how I tend to show my love through mostly small actions that make the other person feel special to me and show how considerate and thoughtful I am.  Summary: Today we wrote a poem to someone we care and love about. Reflection:   I finished my poem.
