 Prompt: In “Birches,” Robert Frost celebrates imagination as a way to escape life’s difficulties and reconnect with innocence. The speaker wishes to “get away from earth awhile” but also understands that he must eventually return to reality. Think about the role of imagination in your own life. How does imagination help you cope with challenges, boredom, or stress? 


Response: I personally use my imagination through my art and fashion sense. It's something I'm passionate about and it's a relaxing activity for me. Usually it's something I like to think about or do when I'm stressed. Although I love those two things, I reconnect with reality and set my priorities. I know when I need to put my work and needs first vs my wants. Sometimes I like to use my imagination in my work as a balance, but I don't use my imagination all the time. 


Summary: We started to read the poem "Birches", written by Robert Frost, which is about childhood. 


Reflection: I reflected on the things I did for fun as a kid.

  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.
