People sometimes feel the need to step away from their normal routines or environments in order to better understand themselves. Describe a time when you needed distance from a situation, place, or group of people in order to think more clearly or gain perspective. What did that experience teach you about yourself?

 A time where I need time to myself is when I lost my Grandma. She was a very big figure in my life and when losing her I need time to myself so I can figure my identity again. I needed to gain perspective from myself to find a motive to keep pushing after such a severe step back. That experience taught me a lot that you do not always have to express yourself and it's okay to keep stuff to yourself. Also in severe step backs there is always a light no matter how far it seem it is always reachable and able to get to. Today we read chapter 2 and 3 and answer questions about quotes in the book I learn how to justify my answer when it comes to no wrong answers you can always get it right if you can prove it with reasoning.

Prompt: After reading Chapter 1 of Into the Wild, consider your first impression of Christopher McCandless. Based solely on the events and details presented in this opening chapter, do you believe McCandless truly understood the risks he was taking when he entered the Alaskan wilderness? Why or why not?

 I believe he knew somewhat of the big risk he was taking, but also was very confident in what he was doing. We see he sacrifice a lot to go on this hike and did not try to take the easy way at all. He was offer easier way but did not want to take it. I also believe he may have not knew as well because the journey was a long way and maybe he did not take in mind how long it would be and the specific risk It would take. Today we read the story and learn about author and the background of story I learned all about the history and the background about the book before reading chapter 1

Today you worked on creating your Vocabulary Digital Cards in Adobe Express. In one well-developed paragraph, reflect on the assignment by explaining which vocabulary word was easiest for you to understand, which word was most challenging, and how creating your own sentence and selecting an image helped strengthen your understanding of the vocabulary. Use specific examples from your work.

 The vocabulary word that was easiest to use was frenetic it had a easy definition and was really easy to use to fill in all the information. The hardest vocabulary word to use was pervasive. I would say this because it took me a second to figure out the definition and how to use it. Selecting images and creating sentence helped a lot with my understanding because if I use it and use my head to figure these things out I know more of the definition and what I am looking for it, it more so glues it in my head. When I used bumpkin I struggle to find a photo which would relate, but after some help I was able to and it help me understand not to just use the word but to also search stuff about it to get an example. Today we worked on our vocabulary and made a slide for each word to help us memorize word I learn more vocabulary words and techniques I can use to help glue them in my head

Prompt: After viewing your classmates’ digital posters and reading the feedback comments left on your work, what new ideas or perspectives did you gain about your poster? Reflect on how the feedback influenced the way you think about your creative choices and describe what you learned about the creative process while designing and presenting your poster.

 Some new things I gain about my poster is that a lot of people enjoyed how creative the images were that I chose. Also the basketball players enjoyed my nice basketball references. These comments gave me more confidence in my poster, because I was overthinking it was not looking good. Getting a comment from someone else perspective shows me my strength and weakness and how I can improve myself. Today we worked on video about AI and question, and commented compliment on everyone posters I learn how to use information in a video and implement it to my questions

Reflect on the simile and metaphor worksheet. Which topic challenged you the most when creating your figurative language, and why? In your response, explain what made that topic difficult and how you worked through the challenge (or what you might do differently next time).

A lot of the ones where I spoke about basketball were pretty hard. These were very personal to me. I've struggled a lot when playing because of my mentality and it is something I work on to this day. So these Simile and metaphors were very touching and difficult to fully express my self. The metaphor were especially challenging because they are a bit harder to write than similes Today we worked on our project and getting it done I learn how to use Adobe better and make simile and metaphors

Describe how you spent your time, any activities, traditions, travel, hobbies, or moments that stood out to you. You may also discuss something new you tried, something you learned, or how the break helped you reset before returning to school. Keep your response appropriate for a school setting and focus on experiences you are comfortable sharing publicly

 Over the break I had a lot going on. I played lots of basketball in addition of working out everyday to stop being as skinny and get bigger. I also started Ramadan and started fasting. It has been pretty easy so far waking up at 5 20 am ish to eat and eating again at like 6 30 pm. It does get a little hard towards the end but I do get over it and work on focusing my relationship with God and being more productive in life. It helps me cleanse my heart,soul, and mind. It started on the 19th and I will be fasting until next month the 19th. Today we analyze a Maya Angelo poem and listed out the simile and metaphor in the poem and explain them I learn how to recognize rhetorical devices in a poem and explain how they were used
