In "The Lamb" and "The Tyger", both poems suggest that beauty and danger can come from the same source. Describe a time when something or someone you admired also scared or challenged you. How did that experience change the way you see the world or the idea of “goodness”?

 Prompt Response: Growing up I faced major health issues, issues where i would struggle to eat because i would end up throwing it all up no matter what, even when i would try my best to keep my food in my stomach and not having to throw it back out.  I had no clue what was happening to me and it was at such an early age in my life where i was around 7 or 8, seeing that i struggled to gain weight and i was mainly bone, where my skin was more paler and I could see the outline of my own bones is what scared me the most, also knowing that my mother faced trauma knowing that her daughter was ill. I was hospitalized for a while and within those times i remember meeting different kids that were also ill but were far more than me, such as this little girl with cancer. Meeting this girl challenged me, apart of me got determined to get better knowing that I had to take weird scary medications and having to have a bunch of needles injected in me, became something that I wanted to overcome. The fear of thinking that I was going to pass and that i would never leave the hospital something to over-conquer. The idea of hope and new beginnings, knowing that things can be turned around and to have a fresh start gave me the strength to keep pushing forward. I admired the kids that were more sicker than me because they would always look at a brighter side of things. There's goodness in this world within the right people, support, resources, and a healthier mindset of things. In order to be where you want to be you first need to learn the struggle and having to be a certain low in your life, as long as you keep your faith. I now don't struggle to eat, i'm healthy and I've never had the same problems that I once did when I was just a kid. Looking back at this I've forgotten what condition I had but I was very glad that it was curable. 

Summary: October 23, 2025, an assignment was given to us where we need to create a onepager 

Reflection: I strive to be the best that I can be everyday in any way possible, to reach my short term goals. Then afterwards later on in the future achieve my long term goals and live in my ideal of peace.

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. I've been strict on whom I trust since then and I don't choose to call hardly anybody a friend.  Summary: September 30, 2025.

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.
