As we think about our upcoming Vocabulary Monday, tell me what is your favorite word RIGHT NOW? Why is it your faovorite word and how often do you use it?

Prompt Response: I would say that my favorite word is intelligence. Intelligence is subjective to many different things. It can apply to many different things, whether that being artificial intelligence, human intelligence, emotional intelligence, and so on. But just because a person cannot sufficiently complete a specific task doesn't make them unintelligent. Society makes our imperfections stick out like a sore thumb. They constantly bring it up and define us by our imperfections. We as humans even do that to ourselves, but as time goes on, you slowly start to realize that the world isn't as intrigued with you as you think it is.

Summary: Today in class, we continued working on our Birches childhood presentation.

Reflection: In short, Intelligence comes in many forms and cannot be measured by a single standard. It also reminded me that our imperfections do not define us, and with time, we learn to care less about how others perceive us.

What is the most creative thing you have ever made? Share what it was and explain why it stands out as your best work.

  Prompt Response:    The most creative thing I've ever made was a pipe cleaner stick man action figure. Growing up, I loved action figures. And there was one particular action figure that I saw online that I greatly desired. It was a metallic blue Mega man action figure with multiple accessories and magnetic feet. However, due to how pricey it was, my parents weren't able to get it for me. Due to this, I took it upon myself to make my own action figure.      Summary: Today in class, we finished writing our own origin myth story and discussed making a poster for it. Reflection: Making something from nothing is what I strive to do; like with that pipe cleaner stick man action figure I made. It represents my creativity and imagination in one small package.

Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

  Prompt Response:  When I was a sophomore in high school, my marketing principles teacher taught me a very a profound lesson: “People treat you the way they perceive you.” This principle resonates deeply with my daily life. I maintain professionalism at school, taking the time to think before speaking and ensuring my words are measured and precise to avoid any miscommunication. As a result, many students and teachers hold me in high regard, valuing me as a peer and a student. This is why I consistently strive to present myself in a professional light. Summary: Today in class, we started working on our argumentative essay with the theme of morality. Reflection: Reflecting on this, I will always make sure that no matter what no one views me as a failure or an incompetent person. I believe that every human should be controlled and measured when it comes to their speech.
