Chris McCandless rejects a traditional path of success and instead defines success on his own terms through freedom, experience, and personal meaning. Reflect on what success means to you at your current stage in life. In the response, explain how success is currently defined (grades, college acceptance, achievements, happiness, etc.) and where those ideas come from. Then, consider whether that definition truly reflects personal values or if it is shaped by expectations from family, school, or society.

 Prompt: Chris McCandless rejects a traditional path of success and instead defines success on his own terms through freedom, experience, and personal meaning. Reflect on what success means to you at your current stage in life. In the response, explain how success is currently defined (grades, college acceptance, achievements, happiness, etc.) and where those ideas come from. Then, consider whether that definition truly reflects personal values or if it is shaped by expectations from family, school, or society. 

Prompt Response:

What success means to me at my current stage in life is passing my classes, turning in the work in time, and getting good grades. Success is currently defined by a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment, it brings happiness and leaves a positive impact. I'm considering that the definition is shaped by expectations from family, school, or society, because it can either be from high paying jobs, prestigious schools, marriage, etc.

Summary:

Today we turn in our work from yesterday, the open ended questions based on chapter 8, after we all passed over our work to Mr. Rease, he gave each one of us a sheet of questions from other students. We had 15 minutes to complete that and after the time ran out, he took our answers and continued to give us another 2 sheets to work on. Both of these would be based on chapter 9 and 10, we had an hour to complete it and to turn them in before 3:10. The whole class managed to finish in time and did exactly what Mr. Rease expected.

Reflection:

I can reflect that I was like speed, finishing the assignment and trying to think it through with a time limit, it made me feel quite accomplished for the day.

 Prompt:  Reflect on your research topic and identify the most compelling issue connected to it. Clearly explain what the issue is and discuss why you find it particularly interesting or important. Support your response with specific details from your research. Prompt Response: The most compelling issue connected to it is the massive enforcement and deportation initiatives with humanitarian protection obligations and civil liberties. More specifically, the tightened U.S. immigration regime, I find it interesting and important since it's a big major issue today. The immigration policies of the country had impacted economically, socially, and politically, creating different outcomes for the immigrants or migrants who struggle to survive. Summary: Today we worked on selecting sources, each person presented a source from each category, then we would pick the best one to use. Mr. Rease gave us two worksheets to work on, my group managed to finished one paper. We had to fill in the ...

As the first semester comes to an end, take time to reflect on your learning and growth in this course. In a well-developed response, explain what you enjoyed most about the class, identify the project or assignment you found most engaging, and discuss which aspect of the course you connected with the most (such as poetry, fiction, writing, or discussion). Finally, reflect on one area where you feel you need additional support or improvement as we move into the spring semester.

Prompt Response: What I most enjoyed about this class was how funny my classmates can be, the only entertaining people of my day since everybody in my other classes are either boring or annoying. I also enjoyed the work, not always but the majority of it was not overwhelming and I appreciate how Mr. Rease thoroughly explains what we need to do. I haven't felt completely clueless in a while and its a great feeling compared to last year. I don't really recall any project or assignment that I fou...

  Reflection: This assignment helped me reflect over my character and how simple I can be, I already knew some of the basic stuff about myself and it was nice to look back into it again. I barely needed to introduce my character or personality with other people so this is one of the few experiences that I get to do so.
