Describe a time when someone's words had a lasting impact on you.

 Prompt Response: There was a poster for each student in our 3rd-grade class so each classmate could write something for everyone to be remembered by the end of the year, like a yearbook. I remember by the end of the cycle, my paper was filled with "you're too nice :)". I really took those words to heart and found them genuine. But those words represented who I was after what my best friend did to me during middle school. I never did anything to her nor did I make her feel any less of herself. To me, she was the bright and crazy person I needed in my shy and isolated self. I found out from another friend that she began to talk bad about me during middle school, which was confusing because we didn't even go to the same middle school. Many people said to try to embarrass her on social media or spread the secrets she had shared with me. No matter how disappointed I was, my anger was never enough to do those actions. Many people would say I let her walk all over me, but I don't think I was being "too nice" but mature. 

Summary: Today we read letters 51-58 in The Color Purple. 

Reflection: We figure out that Albert has been hiding letters from Celie, but as a character, Celie is also in a healing process. I do think people can heal especially after something impacted their life, but it all takes time. Everyone has a different pace of healing to become a better person or to rebuild their self-respect. But to to those it takes a lot of forgiving, acceptance, and time. Though healing is a long process, there can be people in your life to help and better it.

If you could plan the perfect spring break with no limitation, money, time, or responsibilities—what would it look like? Where would you go, who would you bring, and what would you do?

Simple. I would go to California and go to Disney Land and Universal Studios and to the beach while renting out an Airbnb. I think I'd like to bring my family (maybe). Sometimes one of them can be in a bad mood and I wouldn't want them to ruin the whole vibe of me visiting either of these places to relax and enjoy the time in Califonia. Disney Land is way bigger than Disney World in Florida and has way cooler rides from what I've seen in videos and ads. In class, we just took the time and made up any missing work we had and I really need to catch up on these blog posts. Today I feel relaxed because in all my classes we did nothing since today is the day before spring break and no one wants to assign any work. Or it could be because there was no wifi throughout the whole day, but I'm not complaining.

After reading The Tyger by William Blake, take a moment to reflect on the idea of creation. What do you believe is the most beautiful creation in the world—natural or man-made—and why? Describe it in detail and explain what makes it so awe-inspiring to you

 I think the most beautiful thing in the world is the ocean. It really beautiful to what it may seem as just water but the ocean carries life. Sometimes simple things like water, we tend to be grateful for it. I remember the first time I went to the beach, I immediately fell in love with it. The small fish by the shore, the seashells in the sand, and the seagulls flying above my head. In the night small crabs come out, it was a little scary to me, but I realized not only fish live in the water but also those that get around by crawling. Today we read over a new poem called The Tiger which is the sepaker admiring the creation of the tiger. Today I feel ok and have to study for my calc test that I have tomorrow.

How do you find time to enjoy your day, even when you have a lot going on? Write about at least three specific things you do to enjoy small moments throughout your day.

Looking at my surroundings, talking to friends, and trying to manage my time are three things I try to do to enjoy my day. When I become stress with my studies I always take a sudden pause and just look around my room or the outside of my window. I then just become trapped in my thoughts for a good minute thinking how Im so grateful that I am only stressed about my studies than having the stress over other stuff. Today, we had to finsih our one pager about the two poems we chose. Today I feel good because I am closer to graduation and every day its starting to feel more real, but im excited.
