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.

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.

It's Super Bowl weekend! Some people watch the Super Bowl for football, others for the commercials, and some just for the halftime show. What’s your favorite part of big events like this, and why?

 I don't know anything about football. Instead id only look at it for the halftime show. I know Beyonce is going to perform her new country album, but I don't think it was that good nor for it to win best album of the year at the grammys. Im having high hopes for Kendrick’s and SZA’s performance though. Today, we went over how to brainstorm for our writing we have. Im very sleepy today, especially since its Friday, but we have one more week of school and then we’ll have a break. (I didn't know we had a break coming up until today)

Imagine writing a letter to yourself 10 years from now. What advice, hopes, or reminders would you include?

Dear Future Scarlett, I hope you are reading this letter with an already-bought house, a loving husband, and a family.  I know you definitely have the career you dreamed of or maybe something better because you wouldn't let all the hard work you have done come to waste. But I know that one thing you were definitely scared of was the thought of having someone. You were scared to lose someone after a long term or even just the thought of it becoming something negative towards you and your family. But I hope you have changed that perspective completely, that loving someone isn't so scary. You can't let negative feelings follow you in the future. I hope you are in contact with your parents too and often visit them, no matter what.    I read letters 66-70 from The Color Purple today. I didn't think class would be about an hour, so this long period drained me. I don't like sitting in a class for more than an hour.
