 Prompt: After reading “Out, Out—” by Robert Frost, reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome?

Response: There was a time where I was climbing abandoned trains with some old friends of mine that was a risky situation for me. My biggest fear is heights, so the moment was pressuring for me. I wanted to join my friends at the top and had to climb a tall ladder in order to meet up with them. I was scared of slipping or falling. Eventually, I pushed through my fear and my determination to be with my friends overcame me. I managed to overcome my fear and get to the top safely. It's something I'm proud of doing because I was able to have fun in the end.


Summary: We started to read a poem called "Out Out", which was about a little boy who sawed his arm off.



Reflection: I wondered if something like that would ever happen to me.

Then, identify four personal you would like to achieve this year and briefly explain why each goal is important to you Response: During my holiday break, I spent the majority of the time being sick. I was unfortunately stuck spending the majority of the days trying to recover and get better from being sick. On the bright side, I spent the rest of my break traveling to Maryland, and I rode a plane for the first time. First, this year I want to achieve my personal goal of gaining better spending habits by spending less money and saving more. This goal is important to me because I have a bad habit of spending money too quickly, and I want to save money for more expensive things that I want.
