In “We Real Cool,” the speakers make choices that seem exciting, bold, and rebellious, even though those choices lead to consequences. Write about a moment in your own life when you followed what looked cool or fun, only to realize afterwards that it wasn’t the smart or responsible path. What influenced your decision, and how did your perspective change later?

 Prompt: In “We Real Cool,” the speakers make choices that seem exciting, bold, and rebellious, even though those choices lead to consequences. Write about a moment in your own life when you followed what looked cool or fun, only to realize afterwards that it wasn’t the smart or responsible path. What influenced your decision, and how did your perspective change later?

Response: There was a time I decided to sneak out to hangout with an old friend of mine. She texted me that her and her older friend were in the neighborhood and that I should join them. I agreed to this and without telling my parents, I just walked out of the house and met up with her. She picked me up and we managed to drive until we got onto the highway. My step mother texted me and that's when I got busted and had to go home. I didn't put any effort into sneaking out and it wasn't a well thought out plan. My old friend was an influence and currently we aren't friends anymore because she did a lot of bad things. 



Summary: In class we read a poem about teenagers who do rebellious behavior and the effects of it.


Reflection: I reflected on what other people my age consider not fun.

  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...
