Write about a feeling that took you by surprise.

 Prompt Response: A feeling that took me by surprise was when I found out I was moving. I was born in Bloomington, Indiana, and then moved to Texas around age 2. I lived in Texas for 5 years until I turned 7, which is when my dad got a job offer in Georgia. I remember when I found out that we were moving. I remember feeling sad because I would have to leave my friends, but I was also surprised that I was excited to move. I didn't expect this because I always thought I would feel really sad when we moved. But I was excited to move and have things change up. 

Summary: Today we read a poem by Robert Frost called "Out Out." It was about a boy who was working on a farm with a saw when he cut his hand off. This led to him dying. We worked on a paper where we analyzed the poem and found themes located in the text. 

Reflection: I enjoyed reading the poem and analyzing it in depth. I don't really like poetry but I liked the story and themes in this poem.

Write about a conversation that changed you.

  Prompt Response: A conversation that changed me was a conversation that I had about passions. We discussed how if you don't have any passions, you will have no determination and become lazy. This can lead to depression and many other bad things such as hurting relationships. That is why that conversation changed me.  Summary:  In today's class we worked on an assignment over the Lesson 7 vocabulary words. We defined the words, wrote some synonyms and antonyms, as well as filled in sentences using the vocab words.  Reflection: I enjoyed this class because it was fairly simple so I was able to finish quickly. Because I finished early I was able to do make-up work with the remaining time.

Which time do you perfer the most and why, Daylight Savings Time or Standard Time?

I also enjoy having a change in my routine that makes life a little more interesting for a little bit. I also enjoy having more daylight that lasts for longer.
