In A Worn Path, Phoenix faces several obstacles as she makes her way toward her destination, but she continues because she has an important reason for completing her journey. Think about a time when you had to travel somewhere or work through obstacles to reach a destination or goal. What challenges did you face along the way? Was the journey worth it in the end? Explain why or why not.

 One time I had to work through obstacles was when I was trying to improve my SAT score. Studying for hours every week became tiring, especially when my practice scores did not improve as quickly as I wanted. There were times when I wanted to give up, but I kept reminding myself that a higher score could help me with college applications. Eventually, all of the practice and frustration paid off when I reached the score I had been working toward. The journey was worth it because it taught me that staying consistent even when progress feels slow can lead to a great result.

Today in class we continued working and listening to someone reading the story.

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.
