Write about a time when your failure was necessary for your growth. Examples of failures could be failing a major exam, failure to make a team, failure in a relationship, etc.

 Prompt Response: In 7th grade, I decided to try out for the school baseball team. I went to the tryouts, and I was definitely the worst player. After it was over, I was sure that I wasn't going to make the team, and I was right. This made me realize that I needed to work and practice a lot more if I wanted to make it the next year. I began practicing almost every day after school. I worked on my batting, pitching, fielding, and more. When the next tryouts came up, I was sure that I was going to make the team. I felt really good about my performance and I was proud of the work I had put in. When the coaches sent the email out, my dad surprised me when I got home by telling me that I made the team. I was so excited and happy. I definitely needed that initial rejection to motivate me to get better. 

Summary: Today we took a benchmark test. 

Reflection: I thought that the test was overall not too hard, and that I did well.

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?

  Prompt Response:  I prefer Daylight Savings Time. This is because it symbolizes that summer is getting closer, which is exciting. 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. That is why I prefer Daylight Savings Time over Standard Time.  Summary: Today was a virtual day, so I worked on the NEWSELA assignment on Daylight Savings Time.  Reflection:  I enjoyed reading the article and learning about the reason and history behind Daylight Savings Time.
