How have the holidays changed as you have grown older? Compare your experiences of the holidays during childhood with how you experience them now, focusing on shifts in perspective, responsibilities, or emotional meaning.

 Prompt: How have the holidays changed as you have grown older? Compare your experiences of the holidays during childhood with how you experience them now, focusing on shifts in perspective, responsibilities, or emotional meaning.

Prompt Response:

When I was a child, our family used to host Christmas dinners, this was when my parents were still together and would invite friends & relatives. I can recall helping my mom to cook with my older sister, placing the food on the table and preparing the ingredients, while my younger siblings go outside to play with the neighborhood kids in our porch. Sure I complained about all the work but it was these moments about the holidays that remained memorable for me, over time we slowly got distant with other people and relatives until it was only us as a family celebrating together. Realistically as I grew up, I didn't have the same excitement for holidays as I did when I was younger, my perspective toward the holidays only grew more bland and dull. Maybe its because I receive gifts that wouldn't particularly bring me joy, its my fault for not knowing what I want, I only get some spark of joy when I share gifts with my friend.

Summary:

Today we worked on another lesson of vocabulary, it was lesson 6 and our job was to write down the definitions for us to keep and on another sheet of paper we make up sentences with each vocab word. The only exercises we needed to do was 2 to 4, we had all class to complete these steps and to turn it in to Mr. Rease. 

Reflection:

I can reflect that I already knew some words within the vocabulary and am quite proud of myself.

 Prompt:   As we think about our upcoming Vocabulary Monday, tell me what is your favorite word RIGHT NOW? Why is it your favorite word and how often do you use it. Prompt Response: My favorite word right now is 'son', I do not have a son but I use this word a lot to call people that when I'm playing games and it's what I call my friend from time to time. I would usually say "Good job son" or "I'm proud of you son" whenever my friend accomplishes something. I do not know why it is my favorite word, just that it sounds nice and it's funny when they respond "thank you father." My friend even decided to say it back to me sometimes and this other person that we play with, she says it in Spanish too, "Okay Mijo." Summary: Today we continued to work on our projects, we were given the whole class and were told to turn in the project during the weekend right before Monday.

As you grow older and face new experiences, what issue or topic do you think you'll have to stand up and debate most often, whether with friends, family, or society?

 Prompt:  As you grow older and face new experiences, what issue or topic do you think you'll have to stand up and debate most often, whether with friends, family, or society?  Prompt Response: I am having trouble trying to think of an answer for this prompt, I am sure there are plenty of things I can argue with my family but I am not entirely sure what type of topic I will be needing to argue about as I grow. I think there is something that I will need to keep stating to people, that I do not plan to have kids any time soon or marry any person. I really want to live for myself and have fun with friends rather than settle down into a family while I can go out and explore. If I were to marry, I'd expect us to switch roles in cooking and cleaning or going to work rather than me staying at home and they go to work like how my mom suggests it. Summary: Today was a block day, we went over new notes this time about claim and continued on the previous notes from yesterday about ...

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:  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: I don't think I've ever faced a dangerous situation in life, besides driving. Huddle up people, so during the summer my mom thought it was best to teach me how to drive all around, she even had me drive on highways. There's probably a chance we faced danger everyday since I almost crashed every single day, every one of those days I had to immediately focus. One day we were driving peacefully down a long road, I noticed from afar there was a car trying to cross the road to the next and I didn't think they would cross yet because they wouldn't have time. Passing through with a good amount of speed, I looked to my right toward my mom and saw the car inches from my car and I immediately pressed down the pedal to a...
