After reading “, Out—Out” by Robert Frost, reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome?

Prompt Response:  When my band concerts are getting closer, I sometimes feel pressured in front of the audience or judges. In a band, you need full concentration to play every rhythm and dynamic, to count every rest, and especially come at the right time. At LGPE (Large Group Performance Evaluation, big and small mistakes are noticeable, so the pressure to focused is very high. This evaluation makes me practice more than before. I remember my first year at LGPE, I was very nervous because it was my first 6 months learning about music and my instrument. However, my director words of affirmation and kindness bought us calmness that we were going to be just fine. Although, I lost count time on the rest, I focus on listening closely to my section and my senior bandmates helped me keep track. This experience reminds me that staying focus brings success to anything in I want to do. 

Summary: Today we analyzed a poem “, Out—Out” by Robert Frost. 

Reflection: Every poem succeeds when it makes a connection with the reader.

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.

  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.
