Describe how you spent your time, any activities, traditions, travel, hobbies, or moments that stood out to you. You may also discuss something new you tried, something you learned, or how the break helped you reset before returning to school. Keep your response appropriate for a school setting and focus on experiences you are comfortable sharing publicly

 Prompt Summary: During my break, I won't say I did a lot of things but a few things that could be summarized as my "break". During this break I had a goal of starting to study for my ASVAB which started off slow but then snowballed into a lot of things for March2Success to which I completed around almost three courses (Reading Comprehension, Grammar, and Basic Aritmethic <Listed from first to last>). The hardest being Grammar since it was so confusing just learning it but sooner or later thanks to ChatGPT since my strong suit is spatial awareness or pattern recognition I understood that it's more of a mechanism or structure that's simplified. Other than that my hobbies were usually listening to music, sleeping (I did not do much of that), and especially reading the webnovel Reverend Insanity, to which I read over 400 chapters! Reaching chapter 1904, to which before the break I was at chapter 1452 which in terms of reading Wild, it'd have to be atleast 2 or 3 times of the entire book in terms of words alone. My favorite moment was Wu Shuai's tragic backstory of him having to sacrifice a lot just to end up losing in the end/aka the extermination of his race (dragon men) and him, it was more of an interesting side story. 

Summary: Today in class we read a poem called "Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou and gave our own interpretations over certain lines that were either a simile or a metaphor. 

Reflection: Today I learned that the poem "Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou shares a lot of traits about perseverance and getting over a lot of obstacles that shape who 'we' and 'she' is at the same time. This impacted me by connecting to moment's I read from Reverend Insanity that are very similar to it despite their vast differences of attacking different aspects, it made me feel a sense of nostalgia over past events from Reverend Insanity where Fang Yuan specifically quoted "In this life I hope to become the real moon, rising above the mountains and heavens, toying with the clouds and seas, following the ancient times and walk in the darkness above the various heavens". In the future I will use this to help me analyze things faster compared to before by connecting similar or the same moments to get it done faster so I don't lack behind.

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 ...
