As the first semester comes to an end, take time to reflect on your learning and growth in this course. In a well-developed response, explain what you enjoyed most about the class, identify the project or assignment you found most engaging, and discuss which aspect of the course you connected with the most (such as poetry, fiction, writing, or discussion). Finally, reflect on one area where you feel you need additional support or improvement as we move into the spring semester.

 Prompt Response: The thing that I enjoyed most about this class was that it made learning in a way that I was able to understand quickly and adapt, but that's not all as we try to figure out the deeper meanings behind what we read using our critical thinking which is not what you normally do as a high school student. The project that I found most engaging was around at the start of the semester when we had to make a cultural poem about ourselves and make it good, I found it fun to do it because I like to sometimes make poems in my head because they sound nice or just read them to truly understand them. Finally, something that I need to improve in or need additional support is actually in analyzing poetry or writing because I am sometimes bad at that even when I'm using all my thinking expenses and only being able to understand what is happening and not the meaning behind it. 

Summary: Today in class I continued working on my final project for this class, as well as study for other final's with the extra time I had

Reflection: Today I learned that my own perseverance is simply to live day by day, nothing profound or meaningful but it has importance to me. This impacted me by making me feel a sense of resolve and determination inside me to simply keep going day by day even if it's a cycle of suffering, for every human being feel's despair at every corner, what direction they choose however is up to them. In the future I will use this to maybe look back at myself and look at how much I've come from who I was before.
