In 2–3 well-developed sentences, reflect on how you spent your Holiday Break. Then, identify four personal you would like to achieve this year and briefly explain why each goal is important to you

Over the break, I mostly just stayed inside the whole time, although I did go to my aunt's house. For New Years we had fireworks and had dinner together. The one time I went out was when I went to the movies. 
One goal that I want to achieve this year is getting at least a 3 or more on my Physics and Pre-Calculus AP exams. This goal is important to me because it would be a big step for me towards being prepared for college, and if my future college accepts credit for it, that will make my college life even easier. To accomplish this goal, I will dedicate at least 2 hours each a week to study both subjects, and even more so closer to the date. I will also complete all my work in these classes, and I plan to achieve this goal in May.
Another goal I want to achieve this year is getting my drivers license. This goal is important to me because it will give me the freedom to go wherever I want without having to rely on someone else for transportation. To accomplish this goal, I will get in all my driving hours before then, as well as study the manual and drive with other adults in my life, and I plan to achieve this when I take my drivers test in February. 
Another goal I want to achieve this year is doing some sort of internship related to medicine. This goal is important to me because it will help prepare me for what I plan in going into in the future, as I want to do pre-med in college. To accomplish this goal, I will look into programs that I plan to do over the summer.
The last goal I want to achieve this year is to try crocheting a dress freehand. This goal is important to me because it will help me improve my crochet skills, and it will allow me to use my creativity by doing it freehand. To accomplish this goal, I will do more practice with my crochet, and look up tips for how to freehand and make your own dress, and I will finish making it by June.

Today in class we wrote down our goals for the new year and how we planned to achieve them within a reasonable timeframe.

Writing these goals helps me to better plan my time in the upcoming months, and also gives me something to look forward to once I finally complete them.

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. Doing this assignment has helping me find out what key things in a claim can help me identify what type of claim it is.

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.
