Write a blog post reflecting on a time when you or someone you know was misunderstood because of a single story. How can limiting ourselves to one perspective be harmful? What can we do to make sure we see people and cultures more fully?

 I think we all have assumptions about each other, which are never the whole truth, so in a way, we all see each other in a single view when we don't actually know everything about each other to assume or judge. You base a person on what you see and not what is actually going on through their head. I have a naturally mad resting face so when I am not smiling it is assumed I am a mean person,, in my mind I am normally wondering what that person thinks of me. You never know the full story with anyone and should not judge.

Describe your personal approach to creativity. What steps do you follow when you’re working on a project. Tell me about a project you created that you were most proud of.

 I usually start with brainstorming and thinking of the basic idea that I want to do, sometimes when I have trouble I will use my resources and look on Pinterest or Google for inspiration. Never take it directly but create my own thing. I was really proud of this cake I made in the seventh grade of a cell, I liked baking cakes in general and I went all out and spent a lot of money on candy and other things to do the most. I spent probably 4 hours on it.  Today in class we worked on brainstorming, making thought bubbles, and ensuring you answer a writing prompt completely. We then answered a prompt relating to the color purple and chose a character to make the though bubbles about. I chose Sofia.

Imagine writing a letter to yourself 10 years from now. What advice, hopes, or reminders would you include?

If I had to write a letter to myself 10 years from now I would tell myself to remember to care less about what people think because life is too short for that.  I currently think too much about what people think but I think once I leave high school that will get better in the future I see no reason for me to care so much, but just in case I forgot I would remind myself. Today in class we had a sub and read pages 66-77 in the color purple and answered 5 discussion questions. Explaining the key plot points revealed within their family relationships, why there is a dramatic structure in one of the letters, what people's actions reveal about their character, how their behavior confirms things we already know about them, and how quotes reveal things about their character.

Prompt: Describe a time when you took a hiatus from something important. What led to the break, and how did it impact you?

 During last semester I was taking a hiatus from doing my school work like I should and it ended up making me have a lower GPA in the end. I had just started taking a higher dose of the anxiety medication I was taking and it made me feel lazy and not anxious so not having work done did not stress me out as much as I used to. It taught me the importance of time management and that I possibly have ADHD so it was helpful in a way. I had a docters appointment at 3 and they do not let you check out past 2:30 so im sorry I was not there
