Write about an adventure you would like to go on.

 One adventure that I would like to go to is on a trip to visit museums and monuments in places like Italy and Greece because I've always seen pictures of them and I feel like it would be a whole different experience to see them in person. I've always wanted to visit places like that.

Today we started looking at Emilt Dickinsons poetry.

What we are doing can help me learn more about how to better understand poetry, as it is something I have always struggled with doing.

Write about a fear you have overcome.

 One fear that I have (kind of) overcome is being super shy. Usually when I'm around people I don't know I just stay quiet and kind of isolated myself, but I haven't been doing that as much recently, and I have tried to be a bit more outgoing. Today in class we practiced identifying the 3 different types of claims in a text.

Write about a moment when you had to step out of your comfort zone.

 One moment that I had where I had to step outside of my comfort zone was last year when I auditioned for Matilda. I was so nervous in the days leading up to it because I was nervous that I would do really badly, and I'm not a very outgoing person, so it was very nerve wracking for me. It turned out that I ended up doing much better than I thought, and I got into the show. Today in class we read a short story about an experience a man had fighting in the Vietnam War, and started writing an argumentative paragraph on whether we believe there is such a thing as "good" killing or not. I think that reading the story was informative for me considering I don't know much about the Vietnam War, and I also think that the paragraph prompt has a pretty complex topic, which makes me have to think more about my stance and my evidence to develop my argument.

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

 On time that someones words had a lasting impact on me was last year when I opened up to my aunt about my mental health struggles. It was very had for me because I feel like in general it's not something we talk about much in my family, and when I have before with my mom it was basically just forgotten the next day. She actually listened and understood what I was saying, which made me feel a lot better. Today in class we praticed reconginzing mistakes in peoples claims. Doing this assignment has helped me be able to understand what to look for when revising my own writing.
