In A Worn Path, Phoenix faces several obstacles as she makes her way toward her destination, but she continues because she has an important reason for completing her journey. Think about a time when you had to travel somewhere or work through obstacles to reach a destination or goal. What challenges did you face along the way? Was the journey worth it in the end? Explain why or why not.

Response: A time where I travelled somewhere and work through obstacles to reach a destination was when one of my best friends was particularly upset, and I wanted to bring her something to cheer her up. The issue was that she lived kind of far away and the drive in itself to her house was already very long. I don't have my license so I had my brother drive me. Problems arose when we realized that the ice cream shop I wanted to go to was in the other direction after we had already been driving for a while. I insisted that we go get it anyway because I knew it was her favorite ice cream. In the end it was worth it even though we drove much longer than expected. This is because I wanted to perform a thoughtful gesture for my friend and in turn it made her feel cared for.

Summary: Absent

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. Reflection: I thought that many of the stories were very interesting. Throughout the presentations, it was also very clear that there was a common theme of nature.

Describe one thing that makes you different from other people.

 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. After I started going to therapy I began working on being able to tolerate and even initiate situations that may be uncomfortable. 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.
