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.

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.
