March 12 : Prompt: As we move toward the end of the semester, what are your top three college choices right now? Identify the colleges and explain why you are attracted to each one. Even if college is not currently on your radar, you must still respond to the question and explain your thinking.

 As we move towards the end of the semester I am considering community college. I am considering community college because of costs. I can´t apply for in state tuition due to me not being here 9 months prior to the application date, and I can´t qualify for Hope for the same reason. I would have to apply for out of state, making it a more expensive price. Especially a University which costs more than community. Which is why I am considering community and transferring after 2 years to go into education at a university. This way I don´t have to take out loans to be able to pay for college, since my counselor advised against taking loans, since it always ends up badly. 


Today in class we started finding evidence in the book Wild for when we write the essay when we come back on Monday, since Friday is a virtual day.

January 30 : Prompt: If you had to write a poem about your life RIGHT NOW, what would it be about? Explain your answer in at least 4 to 5 sentences.

  If I had to write a poem about my life right now it would be about how I despise my job. It is not something that I enjoy doing however I do it anyways because I like spending money. Working makes you realize that at times people lack common skills. You may ask something over and over, minimum 3 times and at the end they will say something completely different  In class we watched the presentations of themes throughout the book. The most interesting to me was Amelia´s group due to the theme that they explained thoroughly.

Feb 4(Block Day) - Prompt: What is the most challenging part of working in a group? Discuss a time when a group assignment did not go as well as you planned and how you learned from that experience.

 The most challenging part of working in a group is when a group member does not want to contribute ideas, and you're unsure what to do. Freshmen year I had a group project but I had been absent due to me getting sick, so the next day I showed up I had to get into another group. The group was all the people who were absent frequently. When I tried to ask for ideas no one answered, one just went to sleep, making it more difficult for us to move forward. So I made up an idea and started planning subtopics, and I assigned it to them. It wasn't hard just adding images to slides or adding random details about information I had collected. However no one did anything, one girl kept texting her boyfriend the entire time but when the teacher came around she would pretend to be productive, which the teacher fell for. Once I finished the project we had to present and they were all absent, so I received a 0 for the presentation. This assignment taught me that attendance is important to not...

Feb 9 : Prompt : Prompt: In the spirit of Valentine’s Day week, describe your idea of a perfect day spent with someone you care about (a friend, family member, or significant person in your life).

 My perfect day spent with someone is going to the park and having a picnic. It's fun to be able to talk through a picnic and eat something they might've prepared or brought because it exemplifies a part of them. In a way it shows something fun about them, like maybe they bring something totally unexpected or they might remember your favorite food or it might just be something new to try, It's also fun getting up and being able to walk around the park where there are birds and squirrels hopping about. At the same time it might also not be fun during summer with the mosquitoes which tend to target me.    Today in class we completed the first discussion. The first discussion was on chapter 10, where we learn a bit more about Cheryl's step dad and his role in Cheryl's life before and after the death of her mother.
