Talk about a time when you felt like you were about to lose your mind. Answer in at least a paragraph.

 Prompt Response: A time when I thought I was losing my mind was when I was younger and we lived on the west side in these apartments and I kept seeing like spirits walking around in our apartment. My family just said I was young and watching too much YouTube but I knew what I was seeing. They kept walking past me as I was slowly losing my mind. I thought that maybe I was going crazy and just seeing things. Until one day my other siblings saw them too. I was about to loose my mind but what I had saw, it was creepy and ghostly like. Until my siblings saw them and I knew I wasn’t crazy and loosing my mind then. 

Summary: Today we read a short book called “The yellow Wallpaper “. The story basically talked about a woman who was experiencing postpartum depression and was seeing “a women” inside the wallpaper of her bedroom. It talks about how her husband is a physician and he can’t help treating her but is trying to keep her happy. We answered a couple of open end questions about the book together as a class. We also all took turns reading. We end the class with watching the movie the yellow wallpaper. Afterwards we were left to complete our blog posts. 

Reflection: I’m not sure of how I can take today’s lesson with me in life. It talked mostly about depression so there was nothing positive to take with me through life.

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?

 Prompt Response: I would choose a Private island with crystal clear water, full service spa, and amazing temperature and sunsets views. A small group will be coming with me because I like to keep my circle small. I would only bring my 2 closest friends and maybe a cousin of mines. We would watch the sun rise and sunset every morning and night. We would go for beautiful and fleshing swims in the ocean. We’d cook each other food. And go out and take pictures. We’d got jet skiing and waterfall diving. We’d do fancy boat rides, try new foods, go to local shopping centers and more.  Summary: Today was a good day. We used today as a recovery day. We completed all and any missing assignments or bad grades assignments. We kept the class quiet. We ended the class by completing our blog posts.  Reflection: We didn’t have a lesson today, so I can’t give a reflection. But I would like to reflect on how I feel spring break should go for me. I’m going to get in some sleep that I’ve be...

Today our task was to present our project on cultural and their stereotypes negative and positive. As I watched everyone’s presentation I learned a lot about the dangers of a single story. I learned that you shouldn’t follow stereotypes of any kind. You should get to know the person as a whole and not based off of these stereotypes. Stereotypes can be very dangerous in the media. Films and tv shows can impact the way we all perceive each other. We ended the class period we completing our blog posts.  Reflection: Today I learned how significant the dangers of a...

Describe a time when you had to speak in front of an audience. What were your fears? How did you handle them? What advice would you give to someone struggling with stage fright?

 Prompt response: A time that I had to speak in front of an audience is when I was giving a testimony at church. I was nervous shy and nervous but also determined to get my message out and what I had came upon. I handled them by swallowing my spit, putting my chest out, counting down from 5 and took a deep breathe. Some advice that I would give someone is to not look directly at the crowd, try to look at a wall straight ahead or another object straight ahead that way you won’t be nervous having to look at everybody and their facial expressions.  Summary: today in class we took notes on formal and informal language and when to use it. We practiced some practice questions to get us familiar with it and when each situation it should be used.

I can apply this to my daily life when applying for jobs, writing college essays, and even writi...
