 Prompt: Both poems by Robert Frost explore the passage of time and life’s changing moments. Write about a time when something in your life changed more quickly than you expected. How does this experience connect to Frost’s idea that “Nothing gold can stay”?

Response: When I moved to Atlanta, it was a big change in my life. I had grew up around Atlanta before when I went to my dad's house on weekends, but now I've lived in Atlanta for 5 years now. It was a moment that took a lot of time to get adjusted to. As someone who grew up in the south for most of their life, it was a lot more diverse than I was used to. It was a nice change but it goes to show that nothing good from the past will stay. New memories and moments will form that are worth it. 


Summary: We started to read the poem "The Road Not Taken" and did a worksheet about it.


Reflection: I reflected on the different times I read this poem before in my other literature classes.

That dish was the most memorable thing because it was really good and it's a recipe that I'll make again. My family liked it as well. Summary: In class we reviewed new vocabulary.  Reflection: I reflected on how I can memorize all of the vocab we learned.

  Prompt:  In 2–3 well-developed sentences, reflect on how you spent your Holiday Break. 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. To gain this skill, I will set a budget of only spending a maximum of $20 per week. I will also add $15 to my savings every week after getting paid on Sundays in order to save my money for more expens...
