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: It's actually pretty tough to feel like I have any free time when my schedule is packed with school, homework, and baseball practice, but I force myself to grab small, fun moments. One thing I always do is listen to my favorite music while I walk between classes or wait for the bus, which instantly makes everything less annoying and helps me reset my mood. I also make sure to spend just five minutes before I start my homework, throwing a few pitches into a net in my backyard; that tiny bit of baseball practice helps clear my head and refocus before a long night of studying. Finally, I often catch up on a streaming show for a brief fifteen-minute break after I finish my main chores, just to totally turn my brain off from quadratic equations and practice drills for a little while.


Summary: In class, we finished our Ambush paragraphs.


Reflection: Finding time for youself is important to maintain a healthy life.

 One meaningful place in my life is my grandparents' house in North Carolina. It is a cabin on a creek in the Smoky Mountains.

I have had many holidays and celebrations there, and it holds a meaningful place in my life and that of my family. Summary: Today in class, we learned about the Navajo creation myth and how Begochiddy came to the different worlds and helped the Navajo. 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. If I hadn't been paying attention and hadn't slowed, there could have been serious injury to both me and her. Summary: In class, we began working in writable. Reflection: Situations like this can be very scary, and I'm glad that I made it out uninjured.
