Friday: Prompt: Write about something that you heard that you wish you could unhear.

-

 One time, I overheard a news story about the violence caused by cartels, and it stuck with me in a way I wish it hadn’t. They talked about families being caught in the middle of it all, and the things people go through just to survive. It made me feel powerless and sad to know so much suffering exists, and I couldn’t stop thinking about how unfair it is for innocent people. It’s one of those things that makes you wish the world didn’t have such harsh realities.

Today in class, we worked on a semester review. Going over the semester review helped me recall a lot of important concepts we’ve learned. It reminded me of the progress I've made and the areas I need to focus on more.

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.
