 A conversation I remember changing me was learning about my grandfather/Cedo learning about our family heritage from Palestine for the first time when writing an essay about him. He had a lot of struggles growing up and it taught me I should be VERY grateful for my life, especially the little things you don`t realize mean so much.

Write about an object that holds sentimental value and why it’s important to you.

 An object that holds importance to me is the jewelry box I got when I was around 9 years old. I was going through her storage room while having a sleepover at her house. When I found it I brought it to her and asked if I could keep it and when she said yes I filled it with candy from her house. I now use it for rings and bracelets and it sits on my vanity away from anything that could break it. Today in class we read two chapters of the color purple, letters 36 and 37, we then did a worksheet. The worksheet went over the relationships between the characters, their tension or conflict, and a quote that showed the tension/ conflict in those two letters. It helped me get a deeper understanding of the character's relationships and why there is conflict and tension between them.

Easter Sunday was yesterday, a holiday full of traditions for many people. What holiday do you look forward to the most each year, and why is it your favorite? Share what you usually do to celebrate it and what makes it meaningful or fun for you."

 My family is atheist, so we do not really go all out for holidays except for birthdays. My favorite holiday would be my birthday, and others, that sounds very selfish, but not just mine, others' too, especially my mom`s, because I get to be in charge of it. I also get to make a cake for every birthday, a lot more when I was younger, for everyone, including extended family, but now I just do it for family because of time reasons. For easter we had a brunch and an egg hunt, and then I went with my boyfreinds family to church, they are catholic, and then we had lunch.

I was not here. Write about a time you didn’t feel like yourself.

A time I did not feel like I was coming back from summer break out the sophomore year going into my senoir year. I had become distant with most of the friends I had made at Lakeside and was hanging out with people from different schools instead. Going into classes the first day I did not speak at all to the people I had been friends with in previous high school years. It wasn`t until later in the semester when we started actually talking to them again it felt normal to come to school and act how I previously did.
