Prompt: Summarize your holiday break. In addition, write about 5 personal goals that you want to achieve in 2025. Explain why you chose those goals.

     My holiday break started with the relief of finishing the first semester and taking the finals. There weren't that many days between the start of break and Christmas, which felt abrupt to me. Christmas is always an enjoyable part of the break since family comes over to eat with us. We end up making so much food that we end up having leftovers to go into the new year. this year was no exception. New years eve is usually spent among ourselves with less food than during Christmas, due to the leftovers. The days that follow January 1st passed by in a flash. Most of my holiday break was spent with family and spending time on my hobbies. 

    In 2025 I have 5 goals in mind for the new year. My first goal is to apply for a job. I chose this goal as I would like a steady stream of income while I'm at University. My second goal is to improve my personal health by working out and going on walks. I chose this goal as it would help portray a better image of myself to people at University. My third goal is to spend more time with friends. Although I spend time with friends over video games, I would still want to spend more time outside. My fourth goal is to get back into chess. I've started to realize how much potential I had at chess when I was younger and would like to resume playing chess at a club level again. My final goal is to provide my parents with a gesture of gratitude for what they've done for me. I want to give something back to them for the time they've raised me before I go to University.

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...
