What is the most challenging part of writing an essay for you? Is it brainstorming, organizing ideas, writing a strong thesis, or something else? How do you plan to overcome this challenge?

 Prompt Response: The most challenging aspect of writing an essay is effectively organizing ideas and creating a compelling thesis. Since I first had to write an essay as a school assignment, I’ve consistently struggled to organize my thoughts effectively, which hinders my ability to develop a strong thesis. However, I find it easier to frame and brainstorm ideas, as I’ve done so many times through various projects and assignments. To overcome these challenges, I plan to draw inspiration from the strategies employed by others in essay development. This approach, combined with my current skills, will enable me to organize my ideas and generate a strong thesis in the future.

Summary: In today's class,  practiced writing the body of a rhetorical analysis essay.

Reflection: Reflecting on this, I believe with enough time and examples, I will confidently be able to organize my thoughts effectively enough to generate a compelling thesis. And with the effective examples, I have been given in class, I will undoubtedly be able to overcome these hurdles.

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.
