Write about a time when you realized you needed to look out for yourself in a silly or harmless situation—maybe dodging a pop quiz, escaping a group chat argument, or remembering at the last second to submit an assignment. How did choosing wisely make your life easier?

 Prompt Response: Every morning, when I wake up for school or to go out, I gather the clothes I planned to wear and start my routine. However, this process has some challenges. Most mornings, I wake up at 6:55 AM, which is enough time for me to get ready, but it’s difficult to get out of bed because I’m usually very sleepy. When I open my closet to choose my clothes for the day, I often struggle to decide, as I don’t want to wear the same outfits every day. Making this decision at the start of most mornings takes up a significant amount of time. To solve this, I’ve decided to change my routine. Before going to bed each night, I’ll select the clothes I’ll wear the next day and lay them on my chair. This way, my mornings will go more smoothly.

Summary: In today's class, we continued and finished reading: "The Life You Save May Be Your Own" by Flannery O'Connor.

Reflection: Reflecting on this, this is a process that I have started about a month ago. And in hindsight, this is what I should've been doing all along.

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.
