Prompt: In Emily Dickinson’s “I Felt a Funeral, in My Brain,” the speaker experiences a mind that seems to work against her. Sometimes our own thoughts can make a situation feel worse than it actually is. Describe a time when overthinking, worrying, or doubting yourself affected the way you handled a situation. What did you learn from the experience?

 When I first started taking the SAT I was studying late, for example waiting for the last week. This made me stressed out and overwhelmed because I had to cram a lot. My scores also turned out not great. When I studied for more time like a month leading up to it it was a lot less stressful. I also got a better score on it than when I studied less. I learned that the more you study the less overwhelmed you are when it comes time and the better your results are.

Today in class we just read and annotated one of Emily Dickinsons poems.

In “Her Sweet Weight on My Heart a Night” by Emily Dickinson, the speaker describes the emotional weight another person can have on us. Think about someone who has left a lasting impact on your life. In what ways do you still carry that person with you?

 I still use the same practices that I did when this person was still here. My old PE and fitness trained had moved to NY and Ive known him most of my life and he gave me the base of my fitness journey. I still follow his practices and advice today. I follow the lifts I should do, and tips he gives me. I will always remember him for what he did for me. Today in class we finished up the heart artistic drawings and reflection questions.

Imagine someone could learn about you only by looking through your trash can. What three items might they find in your trash today, and what would each item reveal about your personality, habits, interests, or life right now?

Three things someone might find in my trash today are a gatorade , a crumpled school worksheet, and a protein bar wrapper . The sports drink bottle would show that I am active and spend a lot of time playing sports or working out. The school worksheet would reveal that school is a big part of my life right now and that I am focused on keeping up with my classes and preparing for college. The protein bar wrapper would show that I am usually busy and like quick snacks, especially when I am going between school, the gym, and other activities. Today in class we finished up the project planning sheet and added all 10 song titles and artists to it.

What is the most creative thing you have ever made? Share what it was and explain why it stands out as your best work.

 The most creative thing I have ever made was an abstract art piece that I made last year. It included oil pastel, watercolor, and a collage and I spent close to a month working on it. It has a lot of creative and abstract components so that it stands out. It was my best work because it was an original idea by me and I put a lot of dedication into it. It turned out nice, and is now hung up in my room to remember.  Today in class we just kept working on our creative poster on origin myths.
