Write about a time when you realized you needed to look out for yourself in a silly or harmless situation—maybe dodging a pop quiz, escaping a group chat argument, or remembering at the last second to submit an assignment. How did choosing wisely make your life easier?

 Prompt response: One time I realized at the last minute that I completely forgot to submit an assignment that was due at midnight. I rushed to upload it with literally one minute to spare. After that, I felt relieved but also kind of annoyed with myself for almost messing it up. It made me realize I need to pay more attention before things become stressful. Ever since then, I try to double-check my deadlines so life doesn’t get harder than it needs to be.

Summary: In class we read the book "The life you save may be your own" and worked in writable.

Reflection: I struggle with remembering to turn in assignments on time, because unless they are due soon I procrastinate.

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.

Write about a meaningful object or place in your life that carries a story.

 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 been going there my whole life, and it is a place that relaxes me and holds great importance for me. My great-grandpa built it a long time ago, and it has been passed down in my family for many years. 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.
