Describe your personal approach to creativity. What steps do you follow when you’re working on a project. Tell me about a project you created that you were most proud of.

 When it comes to a project, I let my ideas flow, writing down the things I think I can expand further into something greater. I make sure I make the project something I enjoy and can put a lot of effort into. For instance, in 9th grade, I made a suitcase that helped explain my heritage. I had cut out cardboard and painted it to look like a suit case, filling it and buying stuff that I felt represented who I was. I was praised for the effort and design of everything, making me feel good about the time and idea. Today, we continued our lesson on the writing process. We used a prompt on The Color Purple and described a character through a cluster with moments/things they sacrificed and how it correlated to their values. I liked this assignment, because it made me think a lot, but it wasn't too hard when I chose Sofia. Today, I feel good. It's senior night for basketball and also 8th grade night for us, meaning we will be playing with Henderson's pep band while also celebrating the seniors in the band. I get to walk down the court, but it doesn't feel as special as when we celebrated during the football season. I'm also really tired, but I got to get through today.

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...

Consider a film that portrays your culture. Reflect on how accurately your culture is represented and the potential impacts of this portrayal.d

 Coco is a 2017 Mexican Pixar film that portrays the traditions of the day of the dead and the life of a Mexican boy fighting to become a musician against his family’s wishes. The film accurately captures the beauty of Mexican culture, traditions, architecture, and music. This paints Mexicans and Hispanics as a whole as a culturally rich and beautiful group, rather than the lazy and stealing portrayal of the media. Today, we presented our racial stereotype presentations. I enjoyed this because we went in depth about specific cultures we chose and presented it to people who may be unaware. Today, I feel okay. I only showed up to this class because I did not want to get a 0.

Reflect on a time you had to rely on someone else. How did it feel?

 I remember in Sophomore Year, I had to rely on my friends to take me to the soccer games to perform in the Winter Drumline. I would stay after school every game just so when they came to pick up equipment, they could take me as well. It made me feel inferior and mad that I didn't have any other way, staying until 5:30pm every week just to play and then later having to find someone else to take me home. At the same time, I was thankful that they would take me every time with no complaint, being a reason why I do the same for others now that I have a car and can drive. I understand the struggle and don't want anyone to not participate just because they don't have a ride there or back. Today, we continued reading The Color Purple by Alice Walker. We learned about Sofia's conditions in prison, her friends/family finding a way to get her out, and the aftermath of her being free. I enjoyed the different perspectives we saw, as well as the social hierarchy in place at the tim...
