Prompt: Write about a conversation that changed you.

 The first time I heard about my parents upbringing was the first conversation that significantly changed me. Before my parents told me about their upbringing I hadn’t given it much thought considering I was still in Elementary School. Once I reached Middle School was the first time my parents mentioned their upbringing to me in detail. Hearing about the differences of living in rural Mexico compared to the United States made me realize how fortunate I am to be living here. 

Today in Multicultural Literature we worked on familiarizing ourselves with new vocabulary terms for the college bound. Initially, I was only familiar with a few of the words seen in the vocabulary, but now i’m beginning to learn the rest of the vocabulary words. Learning new vocabulary words helps to make people’s writing more convoluted. I am doing good.

Prompt: What is the most challenging part of writing an essay for you? Is it brainstorming, organizing ideas, writing a strong thesis, or something else? How do you plan to overcome this challenge?

       The most challenging part of writing an essay for me is brainstorming because I often struggle to come up with strong ideas to start with. Sometimes, I feel overwhelmed by all the possibilities and unsure of which direction to take. To overcome this, I plan to use visual strategies like mind maps and graphic organizers to sort my thoughts and see connections more clearly. By visually organizing my ideas, I can create a clearer path for my essay and make the writing process smoother. The lesson we did over how to acquire a job and the preparation we did as a class helped improve the brainstorming process for me. Today in Multicultural Literature, we analyzed the composition of the body paragraph in a literary analysis essay. We used "The Color Purple" as a guide to help us compose a body paragraph concerning Albert's deception of Celie. Afterwards, we continued to read the book until completion. I am doing good.

Senior year vocabulary reflection.

     The first six weeks of my senior year have been amorphous . I can't grasp the idea that I am a senior in high school and have to start planning about my future. Besides knowing that I want to attend college, the rest of my planned future is ambiguous . Every new year of school is met with  animosity  towards it, especially since the return to school marks the end of summer vacation. Nevertheless, I attended school and had to return to the cycle of managing work and schoolwork. The first few weeks of school, the classrooms look aesthetic  in the sense that there isn't any trash on the floor. Once the weeks pass, the school becomes dirty again due to amoral  people being adventitious .      Once I attended schools for a few weeks, my affinity  for school returns. I have been trying hard in my classes and have been receiving good test scores in all of my classes. Ive been able to reconnect with my friends from last year which furt...
