Monday - Prompt: Describe a time when you felt completely lost.

-

Around the time of the pandemic and the COVID 19 disease spreading rapidly in mid to late 2020 was the same time my brother graduated high school. I had known him my whole life and we hung out a lot along with his friends. When my brother graduated he moved to Indiana to go to college at Purdue, and around that same time we all had to be in quarantine due to the pandemic. It left my dad and I alone and I was scared and felt lonely at times. I wouldn't know what to do in my free time and gained some weight. I persevered during this time though, and my dad and I got a good relationship and ended up spending that time together and getting through the pandemic. 

Today in class we made a one one pager helped me understand Ambush better. It made me realize how the guy felt guilt and how trauma stayed with him even after the war is over.

I personally hated this assignment because we had to write an essay and answer 25 questions. I don't think I can take this into my future or the real world. My day is going terrible.

Friday: Prompt: Write about a song that brings back a specific memory.

-
 A song for me that brings specific memory is Hotel California from the Eagles. It brings back memories since my dad would always play it when I was a child. Every time we would go to the pool he would play the song. I still love it to this day. Today in class, we started a project on A Lesson Before Dying, and I focused on studying racial injustice and justice. Looking into racial justice made me think about how unfair things used to be and how people fought to change it. It helped me understand why standing up for what’s right is so important.
