Monday: Prompt: Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

-

 One time, I heard Kobe talk about how he played through injuries and how, instead of complaining, he focused on the silver lining like how setbacks can teach you patience and grit. It stuck with me because I complain a lot when things go wrong, but hearing that made me think I should handle problems better. Now I try to look for the good in tough situations, even when it’s hard.

Today in class, we worked on chapters 16-19 of A Lesson Before Dying by discussing and analyzing the key events. These chapters showed how people deal with emotional struggles in tough situations. It made me think about how everyone processes things differently, and I’ll try to be more understanding of others.

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.
