Judith Ortiz Cofer says, “The Island travels with you.” What part of your culture, family, or identity do you feel “travels” with you everywhere you go?

 Prompt Response: My skin color, it's what I was born with. Anywhere that I go I think others already know my race or ethnicity. Why I think this is because another person can just come up to me and speak to me in Spanish without having to ask me if I'm Hispanic, because of my skin and my looks it is already easy to tell if I'm Hispanic or not. 

Summary: Today August 28, 2025. In class I did the blog post and am currently working on the 3 assignments in common lit. 

Reflection: I strive to be the best that I can everyday, anytime. I am going to build a strong future for myself and get my grades on a good level.

Prompt: Write about a conversation that changed you.

  Prompt Response:  A conversation that changed me was when I had a hard conversation with my mother about who your friends are. At this moment in time I believed that friends were the 1 thing that I needed in my life, my mother had to speak to me about looking out who your friends should be and are.

After hearing your classmates’ storymap presentations, choose one classmate’s story that stood out to you. Write about what you liked or learned from their journey and explain why it was meaningful to you.

  Prompt Response:  A classmate' s story-map that really stood out to me would be Christopher's. I say this because when he was presenting he would get out of what he already had written down and give more detail to his story-map presentation. I like how he was loud and straight-forward, I could tell that it was very personal to him as well since he put a lot of thought and consideration to his story.  Summary: September 18, 2025, in class we did presentations, everybody got a go. After presentations the class was making up work that they had missing.  Reflection:  I strive to be the best that I can be everyday in any way possible, to achieve my present goals and to reach my future long term goals.

Prompt: What would you do: tell your friend to confess, tell their partner yourself, or stay quiet? Explain your choice, using ideas about loyalty and consequences from Fences. How might your decision affect everyone involved?

  Prompt Response:  I personally think it isn't my business, but i would try to talk my friend into some sense. I wouldn't wanna get myself involved in situations that don't include me unless it wants me to be included, but no female deserves to be treated or lead on thinking that their partner is being faithful but isn't. If my friend was to do this i would address him where they are wrong and tell them to be straight forward with their partner and straighten it out and figure out a way to resolve it.  Summary: October 1, 2025, in class we read Fences and people played their parts and then got to working on our posters.  Reflection:  I strive to be the best that i can be everyday in any way possible, so that i can reach my goals and achieve my long term goals in the future.
