Write about a moment when you felt you had the power to make a difference in someone else's life.

 Prompt Response: I met this boy when we were both in the 3rd grade since our parents were friends. But it wasn't until the 7th grade we grew closer and became each other's closest friends. We would see each other about every day, share our secrets, and talk about the future. It only took us about 6 months to become close friends but it felt like we knew each other for years, but one thing I've always noticed was how unsure he would make decisions; like me. Sure, he knew what was our favorite hobby to do or what was our favorite TV show, but he never knew what people were meant to be kept in his life. What I mean by this is that he would always keep 2 different personalities with his friends and me. Maybe it was a way to fit in with his other friends and to feel accepted and then not know he actually has this unserious side of him. Throughout the months he began to come close to my friends too and he began to show this side of himself to others too. It wasn't until COVID hit and that was the last time I've ever spoken to him. 

Summary: Today, I read letters 61-65 of The Color Purple.

Reflection: I think it's really hard to ever try to change a person's life or choices. Can people change? I do believe so, but that is if they are willing to do it. Unfortunately, some things are not in our control, and it's what makes us feel not in power, weak, or even at fault. It can only be a matter of time before we can accept some of these circumstances and try to adapt to what is not in our control.

 Today we continued to present our story maps and we did a quiz. I liked how we did these story maps. It really shows how everyone has grown up and how different we are from one another. With this, we can have a better understanding with each other. Today, I get to go home and maybe watch a movie.

Write about something that you heard that you wish you could unhear.

  Prompt Response:  My connection with a friend began to grow apart as time went by. I didn't know why, but something seemed off. Maybe we were growing tired of one another. I then began to distance myself from them because maybe they might have not cared for me as a friend anymore. I don't know. It wasn't until I brought it up and said why are they acting this way. They proceeded to say "yours weren't enough". I didn't know what they meant by that. I processed those words as they just didn't like me in the way it was before, but that's ok. I have to understand unfortunately you can't keep those you love close all the time and only trying won't bring them any closer or receive what you want from them.  Summary: Today, we did a reflection on our semester.  Reflection:  It's good to have a moment and think both how we are doing in our lives. So far, this week has been stressful atlest on my end. Virtual learning this week only made me hav...

Why I want a Husband

Today we compared the gender roles of what are expected from a wife and a husband. I liked this lesson because we were able to see the view point of the speaker, on how hard it can be to be a wife, or what is expected from a wife. The things expected from a husband can somewhat be hard to be expected from a man when they are not committed. Today, I have practice after school.
