Talk about a time when you felt like you were about to lose your mind. Answer in at least a paragraph.

It was PSAT/SAT Day sophomore year. I didn't even know we had to take it and I had come in sleep deprived. I was angry when I realized I was forced to take it, especially since I didn't even know what a PSAT was. I remember finishing the test and realizing it wasn't as hard as I thought. I was ready to go to class when testing was delayed. I was stuck in a hot trailer with no air conditions until 2pm, finally let out to eat lunch. I remember waiting and waiting, hoping the announcements would come on. I was hungry, tired, and angry. It took way too long for us to be let out, just for it to be a bag lunch because of how many students they had to feed. Today, we read a short story called the Yellow Wallpaper. It consist of a woman, presumed to be named Jane, slowing going insane in a rental mansion due to mental illness and the yellow paper, described to be so ugly and yellow that it was making her upset. It slowly worsened her condition until she finally went insane at the end. I liked this book because it shows how the smallest details are enough to make someone snap, especially if they have other factors going on. It also shows how important it is to listen to people dealing with mental illness/disorders, as they know what is happening to them better than anyone, even if they are a highly renowned physician. Today, I feel tired. I stayed up until 2am studying for my Calculus test. I set a small alarm to take a power nap and ended up oversleeping until 4am, giving me just one hour to cram in as much as I could. I bombed the test but luckily, the teacher drops the lowest test grade at the end, so I just have to study and get a good grade on the remaining 3 test.

Write about an object that holds sentimental value and why it's important to you.

 An object that holds a lot of value to me is my Legos. They were gifted or bought during significant points in my life, building them after each event. They remind me of the good times/memories every time I look at them, thinking of each block as building the memory, or the Lego set in this case. Today, we continued our reading of The Color Purple by Alice Walker. We read 3 chapters today, learning about Sofia's return to the story and her eventual incarceration due to her beliefs and nature. It was interesting to see the reminder of the consequences the characters can face, bringing down such a strong-willed character like Sofia. It also showed us why Celie and Squeak's, Harpo's girlfriend, obedience is beneficial to them in some way. Today, I feel tired. I pulled an all-nighter and still have to go to a practice and then teach 8th graders and drop people off afterwards. I know the sleep is going to be good later tonight.

Describe when you had a moment of unexpected kindness

My girlfriend invited me over to her house, and I was terrified meeting her mom. She was the one that invited me, but it was still scary as I was in a foreign environment in front of someone who I had to impress. As soon as I have accustomed myself to her, unexpectedly her dad and older brother came in. They were surprisingly happy for me to be there, shaking my hand and greeting me into their home. I was taken aback at first, but I realized I was overreacting. Today, we read an article about Colorism in India. It's another major issue and heavily done by the country. We learned about the causes and effects, as well as the steps they are taking to stop it. I liked this lesson, as colorism is very similar to racism in America, showing how skin color causes prejudice in people's head, believing themselves superior. Today, I am very tired. I slept at 2am and had a dentist appointment after my Dual Enrollment classes, meaning I could not sleep after class. I am going to take a fat ...

Write about a song that brings back a specific memory

 A song that brings back a specific memory is "Out of My League" by Fitz and the Tantrums. It reminds me of my sophomore year, where I started becoming more involved into school as well as meeting my girlfriend. The song reminds me of her and the fun memories we shared together with our friends. Today, we kept reading The Color Purple by Alice Walker. I liked this because the letters weren't as dark, humorous at times. It was a nice change from the sad letters from before. We answered discussion questions after each letter, making sure we all understood what the letters tried to portray. Today, I am stressed again. I have a concert today, leaving me with no time to study for my final and practice for my audition tomorrow. I'm going to try my best and then go home.
