 Prompt: When writing essays I find it very easy but also hard. I know how to outline the essay and what each paragraph will be out, its just finding evidence that i find challenging. Most engaging for me would be outlining and choosing the topic. I like to write about topics I feel strongly or agree the most with since that will make me more engaged in writing the essay.  Today in class we finished reading another chapter of wild and answered a couple questions  I learned that it's good to talk things out with people, no matter how uncomfortable it can be. That it isnt good to keep things in and to yourself, eventually building up and becoming worse. 

 Prompt: While writing similies and metaphors, I felt like I learned a couple of things of myself. I delved deep into a couple personal and also small memories. I started off small with the tiny memories that didnt mean much but after a while I delved deeper into personal memories. It made me reflect on how much Ive grown. It also made me reflect on how things have changed in my life.  Today we wrote similes and metaphors  Today I learned more about myself and how my mind has changed. I also learned that things change and it can be for the better 

 Prompt: My break went well, I went out with friends and went to a couple places that I have been wanting to go to. During the break I went to go play pool, something new and fun that I have always wanted to play. The break also helped me reset by giving me time to fully focus on my plans after high school and the things I need to do in order to graduate. I also got to redecorating my room, clearing old things out and making it look the way I always wanted it to look, making it more comfortable as well. The break was really fun and Im glad I got to go out with friends as the school year is ending.  Today in class we read a poem and a worksheet I learned that people come and go but that can be a good thing. Its okay to let people go for personal growth and lets some stress go as well. 

 Prompt: My group presented first, however I did try to prepare for the discussion the weekend before. What I did to prepare for this was to figure out which part I was reading and how my team was going to split up so that we can all talk enough. This helped so that I could organize it and highlight the words, making it easier to read. Also so that I could focus more on my part.  Today In class, a group did their oral presentation  I learned that people can learn many things without forgetting about their other hobbies/skills. I will use this presentation to help me in the future, instead of giving up on the skill thinking I have no room. I will keep trying to learn that skill 

 Prompt: When I think of a perfect day spent with someone I care about, I imagine us going out and doing things together. Like eating breakfast together in the morning, either out or making it at home. Afterwards, going to go see something, like a nice museum or a nice garden. Afterwards, going to go out to eat by dinner at someplace nice. After that, ending the day watching a movie with popcorn or going out to an arcade. Doing something fun like that would be a perfect day.  Today in class my group presented our oral discussion  I learned how important connection is especially to people, with how it makes us feel and also keep us sane. It reminds me how Cheryl seemed happier every time she encountered another hiker on the trail. Without meeting the other hikers, she would have felt even more isolated and ruined her mental health more. 

 Prompt: The best piece of advice given to me by my parents was to keep going and pushing no matter what. I dont remember what I asked them or when, its just something they have always said to me and my siblings. It always motivated me to literally keep going, to chase after what I wanted in order to gain it and work hard. Its the first piece of advice I think of when asked about advise, I like telling others the same thing as well. To maybe motivate them the same way it motivated me to keep going.  Today in class we continued on our oral discussion  Today I learned what selective hearing was. When you chose to hear something and not the other things. I find this bad, since it can be something serious or bad, but people just choose to ignore it instead.
