Sep 29-Write about a conversation that changed you. What was said, and why did that conversation have such a lasting impact on you?

 Response- I conversation that changed me was in freshmen year with my friend. I would always complain about the same toxic situation and I always went to my friend for advice. One day she straight out went off on me, called me stupid and told me if I wasn't going to follow her advice I needed to stop coming to her about it. It was harsh and at the time I took it to heart and just stopped telling her about it. For a while what she said stayed with me, I kind of took offense with the way she said it but she definitely got her point across. She opened my eyes and eventually I got over it and dropped the situation.

Summary- In class Mr Rease read our responses and I was embarrassed because that response was not for real, I was joking like he didn't have to read it word for word.

Reflection- I learned that violence isn't the answer if someone offends you.

Sep 10-In Fences, Lyons asks his father, Troy, to lend him money. Do you think adult children should ask their parents to borrow money, or should they be expected to handle their financial problems on their own? Explain your opinion and connect it to your own experiences, observations, or beliefs about family and money.

 Response- It depends on the situation of someone or the age, But in my opinion if they are fresh out of high school, around 18 or 20 and they still need to get their life started I can see that happening. But past that absolutely not, I think you should be independent financially. For example in my family both of my brothers graduated high school and they received help from their parents financially when they first started out in college, I think thats okay since they only rely on their parents for college expenses, and my oldest brother started paying for himself. I think it's okay to ask for help, but completely relying on your parents for money past 21 is a no for me. Summary- In class we read fences act one. Reflection- I learned the STEAL method in reading.

Sep 4-Prompt: After watching your classmates present their identity masks, think about how people are often more complex than what we see on the outside. What did the presentations teach you about looking beyond the surface when getting to know someone?

 Response- I learned that a lot of guys in my class connect with people through sports. One of the people in my class talked about how he grew up with soccer and how it connected him with his dad a lot and hes met people through the sport.
