Prompt: Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks and spending time with family over a nice dinner. Write about your most unforgettable meal.

Prompt Response: My most unforgettable meal was when my cousins came down for Thanksgiving when I was 12. We had a kids' table and an adult table, so we could all freely be kids without being told to act right. Even tho it was a long time ago, I still think about it as my favorite meal because my cousins moved away, so it was the last Thanksgiving I remember having with them. That Thanksgiving me my cousins and I spent the day playing football games moss and playing games without being distracted by phones. Plus, the meal was amazing. That was the year my dad decided to also make the best wings I've ever had. 

Summary: In class today, we took a group test on the short story we read this week.

Reflection: I learned that taking group tests is much easier than taking one individually.

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: 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...

After reading Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poem "Constantly Risking Absurdity," which explores the poet's daring craft, write about your most absurd personal experience. Describe a single, specific incident that felt ridiculously bold or foolish. Ensure your response is vivid, concise, and captures the essence of absurdity.

Prompt Response: A time that had me feeling absurd and foolish is when I tried out for the Lakesdie volleyabll team for the 3rd year in a row and made jv for the seocnd year in a row. This left me feeling foolish and embarssed. I am now on Jv praying I have a slot on varsity next year. I feel that being put on jv though has helped me to get more playing time than I would have gotten on Varsity. Summary: Today in class, we analyzed a poem that we are being tested on Friday about. We also watched a video of a man walking on a typerope over the Grand Canyon. Review: I learned about the man who walked on a rope across the Grand Canyon's family and reaosning for persuing what he does.
