What is the most challenging part of working in a group? Discuss a time when a group assignment did not go as well as you planned and how you learned from that experience.

 Prompt Response: The most challenging part of working in a group is the amount of work ethic each student puts into the objective. For example, I and three other students are creating a risk-mounted object that utilizes ball bearings, springs, rubber bands, and magnets. This project has taken our group and many others over two weeks. Despite this project being difficult to develop, our team has found ourselves close to finalizing this project. However, among our group lies one student that unfortunately will not put in the same amount of work ethic or research as everyone else. While they will ask questions and try to stay engaged, they ultimately care about the grade rather than the process of obtaining that grade for this project. 


Summary: In today's class, we completed an assignment online to help us create structure of rhetorical analysis essay.

Reflection: Reflecting on this experience, I’ve realized the importance of selecting the right people for our group. And while I fully understand that not everyone is the same, and that not everyone will put in the same amount of effort as someone like me. I simply want effort from everyone.

  Reflection: Reflecting on this, I must admit that I was completely clueless about how to begin my poetry mask, even with the very clear instructions provided. Each element of my mask was crafted with deep personal significance, and it was also intended to be appreciated by others, transforming it into a piece of art. It serves as a reflection of my life.

Describe a time that you had an encounter with a homeless person, either directly or indirectly. What did you think and how did it make you feel?

  Prompt Response:   My mother, father, and I were driving through Atlanta when we stopped at a red light at an intersection. A homeless man was standing in the middle of the road, but not close enough to the cars to be hit. He approached every car that was near him with his sign in hand, begging for something, though I can’t recall what it was. He soon reached our vehicle and asked my father for something. My father immediately shooed away the man as if he were a stray dog, and the man went on his way. Summary: In today's class, we started a story titled: " The Life You Save May Be Your Own" by Flannery O'Connor. Reflection: Reflecting on that time, I did feel sorry for the homeless man. However, it’s important to remember that everything will eventually return to its rightful place.

Thinking about "The Rockpile," what is something your parents forbade you from doing when you were growing up? Explain what it was and why they might have set that rule.

  Prompt Response:   Growing up, my parents strictly forbade me from opening the door to any strangers. While this is a common rule in households, my parents took extra precautions to ensure my and their safety. Although some children disobeyed their parents and opened the door to strangers anyway, I never considered doing such a thing. In conclusion, it’s important to respect the rules set by adults, even if we don’t fully understand them at the time. Summary: In today's class, we started and continued a novel called The Rock Pile by James Baldwin. Reflection: Reflecting on this, there are many rules set in place for us by adults. It is important that we follow and respect those rules as they are in place to help us.
