Prompt: Reflect on a time when you had to rely on someone else. How did it feel?

Arriving at Mexico City International Airport, I immediately realized that I would have to rely on my family to get around Mexico and navigate the cultural differences compared to the United States. Thankfully my family lives in the outskirts of the capital city so I wouldn’t have to worry about the urban Mexican environment. At the family home, I had trouble conforming to the surroundings and lack of certain amenities, such as running hot water. The feeling of relying on my family is unorthodox for me because usually, my parents rely on me when it comes to matters relating to documents, but in Mexico, I’m the one who needs to rely on my family to know how to conform.

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...
