Tuesday: Prompt: Describe a time when someone offended you with their words.

-

 A time when someone offended me was when my dad called me stupid. We went out as a family and got on the topic of my grades and what I am going to do after college and he saw how bad they were, and ended up calling me stupid. This made me feel really bad and lost in my life, but in the end I'm glad he said it. It made me get up and do something about it and actually find direction in my life. My dad and I are good now.

Today in class we read the poem Incident. Reading this made me realize the power of words and how much they really mean. You can offend someone really easily and you have to think before you speak.

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.
