Describe a time you couldn’t stop laughing.

 Prompt Response: Although there are many times where I laugh a lot just for the sake of it and because to be able to smile and laugh at your life or anything about it and being happy is enough. While that is thee case where I couldn't stop laughing was when I was watching a funny video where the sound effects got me. 

Summary: Today in class we continued working on our one pager.

Reflection: Today I learned that poetry can be analyzed in more ways such as giving your own interpretations of it. This impacted me by making me feel curious as to how others interpret certain poems from authors when reading it, giving me the curiosity to discover more than what meets the eye. In the future I will use this to help me with the analysis of my poems better and for the poems rough draft of what I want the message to be or what's the main lesson I want them to pull from it.

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 ...

Discuss a moment in your own life when something you believed in turned out to be different than what you imagined. How did this realization shape your identity or worldview?

 Prompt Response: A moment in my life where I had something I believed in and was different from what I imagined was when I believed in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy, it was until one eventful night of waking up that I found out and connected the dots together that it was really my mom that got me the present!

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...
