Prompt: When Celie says, “The God I been praying and writing to is a man. And act just like all the other mens I know,” she expresses disappointment, betrayal, and disillusionment. Discuss a moment in your own life when something you believed in turned out to be different than what you imagined. How did this realization shape your identity or worldview?

 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. To have a healthy lifestyle and to reach my goals as i work for them.
