Analyze how you’ve adapted to the demands of this course over the past week, and evaluate one strength and one challenge you anticipate as we progress, justifying your insights with personal examples.

 Prompt Response: I've adapted to the demands of this course over this pass week by putting in more effort on getting my work done and trying to be efficient despite me failing at that, but...one day I will eventually get there maybe not today or tomorrow though. One strength that I have is my determination to do something, that resolve to keep going no matter on how bad it maybe. One challenge that I anticipate is getting started to do something like work or doing something that I need as the hardest thing for me is to get started, but once I do it's easy going from there as I don't quit what I start. For example my determination to keep going on a homework assignment in math despite me having difficulties with it and taking the easy way out, I didn't stop and kept on going until I finally got it done and understood the concept. I've gained a lot of insights over the course of my life, and one of them being that discipline is key as I was a lazy person, at some point I realized that actions are everything to a person's life.

Summary: Today in class we finished up with our mask and got started on working on our mask reflection which has to contain 150-200 words. 

Reflection: Today I learned on how I should write about my cultural identity from my teacher as some insights on what I can add to my mask. This impacted me by opening my mind to new possibilities for this assignment that we're working on. I will use this in the future to try to be more open minded to other possibilities from others as well as myself.

What have your parents told you about your birth?

 Prompt Response: My parents have told me that I was born in Mumbai and in a hospital and when I was being born the umbilical cord was around my neck depriving me of oxygen. My mother had the instinct that something was wrong and so on that was how I was then born early for my mom's 48 hours of labor which to this day she goes on about it each time I try and ask for money and then talks about the labor she went through and paying it back. Anyway my name came from her praying to an angel or saint, called St. Anthony. To which my name originated from that since her prayers were answered and I was born.  Summary: Today in class we read and discussed two poems made by William Blake, "Infant Sorrow", and "Infant Joy".  Reflection: Today I learned that there was a significance to an infant being born or more of a meaning behind it than I realized from the two poems as I don't really think about it much. This impacted me by making me feel a warm feeling as I think ...

Recall a specific incident when someone’s words offended you. Describe what was said, how it made you feel, and what actions you took in response. Reflect on whether your response helped resolve the situation or changed how you think about communication.

 Prompt Response: When someone called me an idiot, as they said "Why is someone like you part of our group, your the most idiotic and unhelpful person I met". It made my self-esteem lower by a whole bunch of points and sooner or later I stopped trying in my classes to what defined that title for me as what I thought was idiotic;what an idiot was and made me interact with others less.  Summary: Today in class we went over a short essay "Incident" by Countee Cullen, and analyzed the poem; As well as discussing what the poem was about and the two themes of it. Before all that, at the beginning of class we wrote three terms that were most offensive and why it offended us, for me it was "Mistake", "Failure", and "Idiot".  Reflection: Today I learned that an experience can define us in many ways carrying a grudge in our heads and how it can affect future outcomes. This impacted me by influencing many thoughts on what grudges I hold such as be...

Before the Civil War, most people saw nothing wrong with children working long hours. Over time, people began to see it as unfair and even cruel. What is something that society once accepted but now sees as wrong, or something we still accept today that might be viewed as wrong in the future? Explain your reasoning.

 Prompt Response: Something we still accept that will most likely be seen as wrong and not done in the future is racism as we start to see as a society it is mixed as sometimes it can often be seen as good and bad. In today's society we believe that racism is something that is "fine" however the effects are often bad because it influences us to believe we can treat a person a certain color a certain way and I believe that in the future maybe a decade or two will be seen as something that is morally wrong and is not done even among young generations as we all join hands together.  Summary: Today in class we read over a short article over how child labor was soon abolished and what led up to that. Reflection: Today I learned that child labor is not used today because of the many factors that tie into it such as the harsh conditions they had to work in. This impacted me by making me feel a bit empathetic because it made me imagine on how the kids back then we're treated ...
