Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you

 Prompt Response: I always thought that successful people always use discipline but there is one more thing they have, obsession or passion. A very wise friend of mine told that every successful person may have talent, passion or discipline, but they have obsession. They are not able to stop because they are too focused on their goal. They start doing it because they love it very much which enables them to always keep moving forward, even when things get hard. Before I believed that working hard was enough, but now I understand that passion gives meaning to discipline. For example, a person who goes to the gym can be disciplined and make progress, but when they truly love the result and progress, it stops feeling like work. They go naturally, with almost no effort. Since I had this conversation with my friend, I tried to apply this by focusing on what I love, not what I have to do. 


Summary: Today we worked on an argument and reviewed formal and informal language. 

Reflection: I did the blog and thought about the written response.

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.
