In “Missing Your People,” Tracy Brower explains the importance of belonging. Describe a time when you felt like you truly belonged. What created that feeling?

Response: A time I felt like I truly belonged is at camp. I love camp because I don't think about my problems at home. I feel so present and in the moment. I feel like I belong specifically at camp because I feel so comfortable there and the people have similar goals as me. I feel at home when I'm at camp and the people and the environment make it feel so special.

Summary: We did a common lit on Tracy Brower's "Missing Your People." Then we completed assessment questions.

Reflection: I thought that the passage was really interesting.

Write about an adventure you would like to go on.

Response: I would really like to go to Europe with my friends. I'm not sure if I would like backpacking but I definitely want to go for around a month and visit all the countries. Another option that I would love would be to study abroad in Europe for a semester. I just think that it's so beautiful there and it would be really cool to be immersed in another culture for a while. If none of these things happen I would at least like to go to Paris and see the Eiffel Tower. Summary: In today's lesson people presented their Origin myth posters.

 Prompt Response: One thing that makes me different from other people is that I really like math. I've never been good at any other subject in particular except for math. Most people find it boring or confusing, however I really enjoy it. I think I like it so much because there is always a definite answer. Meaning that your answer can only ever be wrong or right. Whereas in literature, answers to questions are often left up to interpretation which I find difficult. Summary: Today we began learning about Emily Dickinson and her poems. We also discussed how to read and analyze a poem, as well as how poetry differs from other writing styles. Reflection: I thought that this lesson was interesting, however I don't really like poetry.

Write about a fear you have overcome

  Response: A fear I have overcome is my fear of talking to people I don't know. When I was younger I was really shy and didn't like meeting new people.

It's been a few years since I set this goal for myself and I am now much more outgoing. I still would not consider myself an extrovert, but I don't feel uncomfortable introducing myself to someone new or talking to a worker at a store.
