Prompt: In “We Real Cool,” the speakers make choices that seem exciting, bold, and rebellious, even though those choices lead to consequences. Write about a moment in your own life when you followed what looked cool or fun, only to realize afterwards that it wasn’t the smart or responsible path. What influenced your decision, and how did your perspective change later?

 Prompt: When I first started driving, I thought going a little faster made me look confident and experienced. One afternoon, I was speeding down the road when I saw a terrible crash happen right in front of me. In that moment, the “cool” feeling disappeared, and I realized how quickly things can go wrong. I slowed down right away because I understood I wasn’t just risking my own life, but everyone else’s too. After that day, my whole perspective changed, and I decided being safe is way more important than trying to impress anyone.

Summary: Today in class we read “We Real Cool”.

Reflection: I learned what we were doing in math

In “The Interlopers” by Saki, Ulrich and Georg view each other as interlopers, outsiders intruding on their land and their lives. Think about a time when you felt like an interloper or when someone else felt out of place in your world. How did that situation affect relationships, emotions, or outcomes?

 Prompt: When I use to play baseball my friends and I always played with each other for our travel season. Their dads were the coaches and so was my dad. We played from about 7U to 12U together, we were basically family. Sadly eventually people started leaving and sooner or later we were all gone. So I had to go a real travel team, I tried out for this brand new program called Atlanta Fuego and I knew absolutely nobody. I felt so out of place and almost like I didn't belong there for a while. Then I kinda started to mingle with the new kids and coaches and I grew pretty fond of them a couple of months in. But it was very weird and hard for me to make it feel like home again. Summary: Today in class we completed a common lit since Mr. Rease was out. Reflection: I learned what the definition of Interloper was from the story "The Interlopers".

Everyone has burning questions about life. Mysteries we wonder about but don’t always have clear answers for. Think about your biggest questions about existence, purpose, or the world around you. Write a blog post where you share at least two of your most burning questions about life and explain why these questions matter to you.

 Prompt: A burning question that has me wondering about life is what is in Area 51, I've heard so many crazy story's and theory's on what other people think. But I just have no clue what could be in there, aliens or maybe even space ships? We might never know the answer to that one but hopefully one day we will. Another burning question I have about life is what happens when you die. I believe in God, and I know heaven is a real place, i am just very interested in seeing what it is actually like. I believe it's  a happy place where you get to see loved ones, friends, and people you've missed that have passed. But no one can ever answer this question until you yourself die and experience what goes beyond after you pass. Summary: Today we planned our origin myth out on writable. Reflection: I learned how to plan a story step by step, also how to work on the writable platform.

Write about a time when you did something out of the norm. What was it and how did others react?

 Prompt: Something out of the norm that I have done is become a cowboys fan in the middle of Georgia. I became a cowboys fan when I was 6 years old my cousin and I were watching a game and I remember vividly Tony Romo was throwing bullets to Dez Bryant. Something about their connection was just something special, the way they could air it out on defenses amazed me. So when i came back from my cousins I told everyone that i was a cowboys fan and man they did not like me. I was bullied at school and home relentlessly because everyone in the world hates the cowboys apparently. Even though I was ridiculed by everyone and their mom, I never switched up on them. Through thick and thin. I will always support my Dallas Cowboys. Summary: Today in class we finished up our heart visual representations. Reflection: I learned to wear a jacket and close toed shoes when coming to 7th period.
