Write about the best gift you've received.

 Ever since I was born, we did not have a car. We would always take public transport or pay for taxis, spending so much money just to go buy groceries, go to doctor appointments, etc. So, when I was 16, I decided I would learn how to drive in order to have someone who could drive a car if we ever bought one. Before I got my license, my mom helped me pile money together in order to buy our first car, making our life so much easier now. Today, we continued our reading of The Color Purple by Alice Walker. We read letters 20-25, writing one interesting thing about each story and a one-sentence summary. I enjoyed it because it made us think about what we were reading and showing that we actually read each chapter. Today, I am okay. I finished my last college final today, feeling pretty good about how I did. I'm officially done and don't have to wake up at 5am twice a week.

Summarize your holiday break. In addition, write about 5 personal goals that you want to achieve in 2025. Explain why you chose those goals.

All holiday break, I spent my time filling out and finalizing college applications. I enjoyed about 4 days of my break, sleeping and playing video games to distract myself from realizing I had school on Monday. I wrote many paragraphs and rewrote my essays many times, but I am happy with the final result. 5 personal goals I have for 2025 are passing all my classes with a B or above, getting a job during the summer so I have something to do during college, successfully transitioning from High School to College, keeping in touch with my friends as we move onto different paths in life, and improving myself into my journey of becoming an adult. I chose these goals as they are beneficial for my life journey, being things that can benefit me or push me to be better every day. Today, I feel okay. I'm still finishing applications and have more stuff I had to deal with, so I hope it gets resolved soon so I can finally have peace. I also have a practice on the first day of this semester, get...

Write about a moment you had to step outside your comfort zone.

 Ever since I joined the marching band, I've been constantly put in the spotlight during football games and school events, especially since I play the snare drum. As I've gotten older, I've soon become center snare, meaning I was responsible for marching the band onto the field, counting them in for songs, and overall being responsible for the tempo. The first time I tried this my sophomore year, I was too nervous knowing everyone would hear me and see me first as I was the only one playing. However, this taught me the values of consistency and perseverance, as the more I did it, the better and more comfortable I got, becoming my favorite thing to do now. Today, we continued our reading of The Color Purple by Alice Walker. After we finished, we wrote a Found Poem using any lines from any chapter we had read in order to portray something. I wrote my poem about a cheating husband with his wife being the bystander and having to deal with his blatant infidelity. Today, I feel o...

Write about something that you heard that you wish you could unhear.

 I wish I could unhear my friend reveal that during a marching band practice, they snuck someone into the public practice rooms with someone and got "personal". It left bad memories every time I walked past the room and ruined my appetite that morning during breakfast. Today, we took a survey and got the whole period to work on any missing work we had over the virtual days. I was able to get 2 assignments done, with one left which I can finish when I get home. I need to stop procrastinating and stay on top of the assignments, because as I did them, I saw how easy they were. I did not need to let it pile up. Today, I feel good. I probably could've stayed home and done my work, but I enjoyed seeing people at school today.
