Prompt: How do you find time to enjoy your day, even when you have a lot going on? Write about at least three specific things you do to enjoy small moments throughout your day.

Prompt Response: To find time in the middle of the day to take time for myself and do things I enjoy, I typically get all my work out of the way, then reward myself by doing things I enjoy. I also take breaks throughout the day from constant work to avoid stressing myself out. To enjoy my day, I go on walks with my dogs to disconnect from my phone. I also watch TV or listen to music while I do my homework to make it easier to get through. Lastly, I always end my night by FaceTime-ing my friend Ava, debriefing our day, and updating each other. These little things might not sound like much, but they all help contribute to making my day a little better, especially with loads of work.

Summary: In class today, we finished our writeable, argumentative paragraph.

Reflection: I strengthened my argumentative writing skills.

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: A time that I was put into a high-pressure scenario that demanded my complete focus was when I first drove on the highway. I got my license much later than most people my age due to my procrastination, so I started driving much later than most people I know. The first time I practiced driving on the highway was with my mom, who tends to yell when stressed out, and driving is one of those situations. It required all my focus, constantly looking everywhere while still in fear of crashing. What made the drive ten times more stressful was my mom yelling out of panic at my car's every sudden movement. Although it was very stressful, it was a learning experience that everyone experiences to grow as a driver and learn the rules of the road. Summary: In class, we reviewed and annotated the poem, "Out Out," and watched an interview with a man who was trapped in a cave and cut off his own arm to survive. Reflection: I learned that you could lose all your limbs and still be ...

Prompt: In 2–3 well-developed sentences, reflect on how you spent your Holiday Break. Then, identify four personal you would like to achieve this year and briefly explain why each goal is important to you (Copy and paste your completed response from Writable into your blog).

Prompt Response:  I spent my break with the flu, but was still able to enjoy it because I was surrounded by my family. I got a chance to see my grandpa and cousins, whom I see only once or twice a year, which made my Christmas. The goals I would like to achieve this year are to become more organized, drive alone on the highway, babysit more, and find a new hobby. Each of these goals is important to me because they all help to grow responsibility and give me more ways to use my free time rather than being on my phone. 1. The first goal I would like to achieve this year is to become more organized.  This goal is important because it will help me keep on top of my work and will allow me to live in a clean workspace.   By April, 2026, I plan on accomplishing this goal by spending 10 minutes a day cleaning up little things in my room so it's constantly clean. I will also start using a planner to keep my life and work organized. 2. My second goal I would like to accomplis...

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:  As I grow older, I will always stand by the fact that abortion is healthcare and that women should have the choice of what they get to do with their own body without being called a "murderer". I will never change my opinion on this topic and will always continue to debate and inform people on abortion. Many people, including my friends, are very naive to what's happening in the world and how it could affect them and their future family and friends. I won't call anyone's opinions stupid to their face, but I will think and then continue to inform them of the topic they usually know nothing about. Most people with whom I debate or discuss this topic or similar causes often lack a clear understanding of the subject matter and often rely on a single, unreliable source for their information. Summary: In class today, we took notes and went over different types of claims and how to argue them. We ended class with an assignment where we made our own examp...
