Prompt: Chris McCandless rejects a traditional path of success and instead defines success on his own terms through freedom, experience, and personal meaning. Reflect on what success means to you at your current stage in life. In the response, explain how success is currently defined (grades, college acceptance, achievements, happiness, etc.) and where those ideas come from. Then, consider whether that definition truly reflects personal values or if it is shaped by expectations from family, school, or society.

 Prompt: Right now, I define success as getting good grades and being accepted into a great college. These ideas mostly come from my teachers and my parents, who always push me to do my best in school. I sometimes wonder if these goals are truly mine or if I just want to meet the expectations of society. While I value my education, I also believe that true happiness comes from having the freedom to explore my own interests. In the future, I hope to balance my personal passions with the traditional achievements that my family values so much.

Summary: Today in class we read chapters 9 and 10 and completed 2 worksheets.

Reflection: I learned what the word filipendulous means

Write about a truth you were afraid to accept.

 Prompt:A truth I was afraid to accept is that we were going to lose to Alabama all along. They are the hump we can never overcome, for whatever reason we just suck against them. Then they will play a crappy Florida State tea and lose or even Vanderbilt. But whenever they play us they turn into the best team in the country. I kind of knew we were going to lose because we always do. I just really really really didn't want to accept it, I sat in the stadium in silence for 20 minutes after the game. It was very hard. summary: we took a bunch of notes and I put a lot of paper in peoples hair. Reflection: I learned how to calculate acceleration in AP physics.

Prompt: Reflect on your research topic and identify the most compelling issue connected to it. Clearly explain what the issue is and discuss why you find it particularly interesting or important. Support your response with specific details from your research.

 Prompt:  Border control is the system countries use to manage who enters and leaves their borders. One important issue is how to balance national security with treating migrants and refugees fairly. Research shows that strict border policies can sometimes prevent people in danger from finding safety. At the same time, governments argue they need strong control to protect their citizens and resources. I find this issue important because it involves both human rights and safety, which are often difficult to balance. Summary: Today in class we worked on our topic and did a worksheet. Reflection: I learned some new algebra concepts.
