Analyze how you’ve adapted to the demands of this course over the past week, and evaluate one strength and one challenge you anticipate as we progress, justifying your insights with personal examples.

Prompt Response: Over the past week, I have adapted to the amount of reading that has been required. One strength I anticipate is my ability to write well and for a long time. One weakness I anticipate is my inability to focus well while reading a long story or passage. I think I wrote well for my DBQ and LEQ on the AP World exam. I struggled to read the whole story when we read about the jealous father in class, though.

Summary: Today, we did a quiz on a story we read. It was about how robins were created according to a community a long time ago.

Reflection: I think that I have room to improve on my reading comprehension, but I have a strong writing foundation to build off of.

I have had many holidays and celebrations there, and it holds a meaningful place in my life and that of my family.

Reflection: I learned how the Navajo believed the earth was created, and I also got my picture taken for my student ID.

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: A few days ago, I was in a car crash. It wasn't my fault, but if I hadn't been paying attention, it would have been much worse. I was driving down Shallowford Road when a lady turned in front of me. I slammed on my brakes, but couldn't stop in time and ended up hitting her car.

Reflection: Situations like this can be very scary, and I'm glad that I made it out uninjured.
