Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

 A time someone`s words had a lasting impact on me was when my dad told be that I should never be able to get less than a 70 in the class if I was actually completing all of the work even if I failed all the tests. I was never a good test taker so I remember this to know that a C is not acceptable even if the tests were the reason for a low grade and if I did not get a 0% on every test it was possible to get even higher.

We read letters 51-58 in the color purple today and then answered discussion questions. in thr book Celie makes a major change in her life by leaving Albert and moving to Memphis with Shug. In Memphis, she begins , gaining independence and confidence. Meanwhile, Albert struggles with regret and loneliness. Nettie living in Africa, writes about her challenges and struggles against colonialism, while also growing closer to Samuel. Celie learns to love herself and realize she doesn't need Shug or anyone else for her happiness. Eventually, Albert apologizes to Celie for his past treatment, and she starts to forgive him, showing borh of their personal growth and healing.

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.

Based on the two informational passages that you've read thus far this week, write about how you will personally strive to avoid student loan debt?

 I would pick a cheaper in-state college to ensure I would not have to pay as much and apply to as many scholarships as possible.  I am grateful and blessed to have parents who set up a college savings fund for me. I would also plan to work part-time through college trying to save up to pay it off. Also try and get a job with a starting high salary so I could make more money quickly. Going to the schools that are harder to get into often cost more but you end up getting the same degree with larger classes, so I would prefer to go to a cheaper college.

In both texts that you read, the line between reality and imagination blurs—the narrator sees a woman in the wallpaper, while Dickinson’s speaker feels their own funeral happening in their mind. Have you ever had an experience where stress, fear, or emotions made something feel distorted or unreal? How did you ground yourself in reality again?

 I have always suffered with high anxiety since middle school, going back in fourth through the years with my mental health. My junior year was really, really bad and the only thing that really helped me get over it was going on medication for anxiety, depression and panic attacks. The panic attack medicine was the biggest help because I was suffering through them multiple times a week.  I really liked the poems we have been reading and that you can have your own thoughts about what they mean to you. Today in  class we read a poem by Emily dickensin and then started answering questions on the yellow wall paper.
