As you grow older and face new experiences, what issue or topic do you think you'll have to stand up and debate most often, whether with friends, family, or society?

 Prompt: As you grow older and face new experiences, what issue or topic do you think you'll have to stand up and debate most often, whether with friends, family, or society? 

Response: The topic that I have to stand for the most is the topic of human rights. It has been very relevant with the discrimination of Hispanic people where they are forced out of their homes and away from their families and recent lynchings that have been happening towards black people. Racism, along with other hate speech towards communities, has been on a rise from the influence of people who are platformed to spread that hate, along with recent laws being put into place. Nativism has been a reoccurring issue in history and I wouldn't be surprised if it happens again in the future. It is a topic that I often have to debate about almost daily, mostly towards MAGA supporters and right-leaning people. 


Summary: We continued notes on the parts of writing an argumentative essay and what kinds of arguments there are.


Reflection: I reflected on how I can continue to get better with debates by doing more research for future arguments.

If you had to simplify your life and keep only a few important possessions, what would you keep and why? What would be hardest to leave behind? Response: If I had to keep only a few important possessions would keep my makeup, phone, and my digital camera. I would want to keep my makeup because I still want to look nice wherever it is that I go. I would also take my phone with me in case of emergencies and so that I can use CashApp for money. My digital camera is also important so that I can still have a hobby and so I can make money by taking photos for people. The hardest thing for me to leave behind would be my bedroom. My bedroom is highly decorated and has been a safe place for me for years so it would be hard to miss that comfort and seeing all of my interest in one room.  Summary:  In class we did an assignment on Writable over ...

Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss.

  Prompt:  Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss. Response: Something that I've outgrown but still miss was having Kona Ice trucks come to school. Back in elementary school through 6th grade, I remember having Kona Ice trucks come and visit our school to sell snow cones. They would typically come to our school during events like field day. Whenever they came around, it was a big deal among students. I loved the snow cones and thinking back on it, it was very nostalgic and memorable for me.  Summary: We worked on an assignment about a poem from Langston Hughes. Reflection: I reflected on the different civil liberties used today.
