Prompt: People sometimes feel the need to step away from their normal routines or environments in order to better understand themselves. Describe a time when you needed distance from a situation, place, or group of people in order to think more clearly or gain perspective. What did that experience teach you about yourself?

 Prompt: Last summer in St. Augustine, I felt overwhelmed by the constant noise of my family vacation. I decided to take a long walk alone on the beach to clear my head. This short distance helped me realize that I value my independence and quiet time. I learned that I think more clearly when I am not trying to please everyone around me. Taking that break taught me that I love my family but still need space to be myself.

Summary:  Today in class we read chapters 2 and 3 of Into the Wild.

Reflection: I learned what the amygdala was in your brain.
