  Prompt Response:  A tradition that is important to my family is to honor Jesus Christ on Christmas. It was the day that Jesus Christ was born, at the dinner table we all came together by holding hands and praying. To be grateful for what we have and to be thankful for the opportunists and for the losses that we have lost. It still matter because my family is Catholic and we believe in God, Jesus Christ and The holy spirit, and that no matter what happens we will always have hope by our side to guide us along our pathway of life.  Summary: December 16, Got checked out because of the school's situation that day.  Reflection:  I strive to be the best that I can be everyday in any way possible, so I can reach my goals and achieve my long term goals/dreams later on in the future. 

  Prompt Response:  For me the holidays have changed a lot as I've gotten older. As a child the main things you would ask for would be toys, just objects that were bright with color and were popular among children. As I've gotten older the more I started to care less and the less I feel excited about holidays in general. The family started to not come around anymore and Money became tight. The main thing I focus on now is having something to keep me warm since Georgia Weather can never make up its own mind. For me only thing that matters is that my siblings and my mom and dad to all keep in touch, back then I would never pay much mind to that and care more if my cousins were coming over to my house, in hopes that they sleep over. Wishing for things on my wish list became my own check list, gotta work for what you need and save up for what you want.  Summary: Monday December 15, 2025, In class we were watching the novel of "The color Purple"  Reflection: I try to be t...

  Prompt Response:   in my junior year, i had this relationship that changed my perspective on a lot of things. Made me face some hard truths and I quietly  walked away and accepted the harsh reality of what it became. Recently I have restored this relationship with this person, it took a lot in me to forgive but most importantly i also knew I had to forgive myself. I'm not the type of person to wish bad on anyone just as long as  we wish each other the very best.  at the end of this novel although hope was something that Celie struggled with it was something that she still held on to even if a piece of her thought she couldn't.  even if you don't see eye to eye with somebody or no longer have a certain person in your life it is always best to wish them well. Treat someone how you wish to be treated if they can't then understand that you should never treat yourself that way either because self love is the most important thing.   Summary: December ...

  Prompt Response:  I thought friends meant everything, at some point all i did was rely on friends to help me out through things and that they were the only people that I needed. A few things led to another and the moment hit me where the only person I needed was myself. Even if it was family or another set of friends, I understood that no one will truly understand you like you understand yourself and you don't need to over explain or to get out of character for anybody to love you. I became distant and I spoke less to people because in reality I overshare once I become comfortable, which therefore i have stopped and observed the way people truly are once you are not around. I am a very friendly person but I am not someone you can depend on because I will now put myself before anybody that thinks they can have control over me.  Summary: December 5, 2025 Absent from school Reflection:  I strive to be the best that I can be for my future and for my needs in life.

  Prompt Response:  A relationship that I didn't know that I so deeply needed was my relationship with my mother. I grew up as a dad's girl and overtime that changed because I was dramatically changing throughout my teenage years. I kept things in when things got mad for me mentally, at some point I told myself that I needed my mother. I had hard times approaching her since I would always bump heads with her and we would always disagree on things no matter what it was. I opened up to my mom when I felt that my siblings couldn't be there for me or when I thought my friends were friends but it turned out to be another story. My understanding of my mother quickly shifted, a woman whom i so deeply love because she is my mother and gave me life was becoming my one and only best friend instead of someone that I thought would always disagree on. She was aware that I needed her, and other compares to the bond of a mother and her child.  Summary: December 2, 2025, Absent from scho...
