Write about a moment when you had to step out of your comfort zone.

 Prompt Response: I had to step out of my comfort zone when I started football. I was scared of hitting and being hit. On the first day, I got lined up against Makhi, the 4-star Clemson commit DT. He picked me up. After that, I stopped being scared because I realised the pads were there for a reason.


Summary: We read "Ambush" in class and discussed it.


Reflection: I think stepping out of your comfort zone is a good thing. It leads to new experiences and finding something you love.

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.
