Today, your group had to work together to earn 100% on the “A Worn Path” assessment or write an essay. How did this challenge affect the way your group discussed the story and made decisions? What did you learn from the experience?

 We had to think very deep as if it was a high rated test, but put our answers together to find the best one. Some of the questions were very difficult, and if I had done them myself I would’ve gotten around an 80, I expect. I’ve learned to not overthink things and think about plots in different ways, especially when down to 2 options out of 4 on an MCQ, whichever has even a slight bit of doubt is more than likely the incorrect option. 

Today in class we worked on questions together as a group that were difficult, if we couldn’t get 100% by the end of class each of us would have to write an essay.

It was a good experience to think about difficult questions as a group to find the correct answer. This was also good because it was under a time limit. almost like a true exam with pressure of getting things correct.

Analyze how you’ve adapted to the demands of this course over the past week, and evaluate one strength and one challenge you anticipate as we progress, justifying your insights with personal examples.

 Prompt:      I adapted to the demands of this course, especially with the quiz today, by focusing on only that and reading carefully to answer the questions. One strength I have is analyzing things that have already been written. One challenge is starting things on time, especially writing, because I procrastinate a lot and can't find myself starting especially creative writing without inspiration. Summary:      The quiz went well, I only missed one question but it was one that I thought was right which is interesting. Reflection: As long as I start my work on time and not overthink things, I should be fine in this course.

Write about a time that you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths.

Prompt:      Like many, I've been in nature too many times to count growing up, whether through travel, camping, or just being in my backyard. But one time that stands out is when we visited Tennessee, including the Smoky Mountains. We took an ATV adventure tour. After riding up and around a part of the mountain for about an hour, we quickly slowed down and stopped at the peak of the range we were in. Once I got off and took off my helmet, everything was so quiet and peaceful, especially considering the noise of the engine I had been hearing for a while. There, I could admire the grand view of the mountains all around and in the distance. I could here the birds, squirrels, and other animals here and there, and the haze that the mountains were known for lingering in the distance. So, that transition from loud to the peaceful quiet of nature was one time I felt connected, like I was immediately part of the forest and mountains. I was even covered in rain and mud. Summary:...

3 things I want to achieve this year - 2026.

 This year as a junior at Lakeside High - the first thing I want to achieve is getting all A's in my classes. I haven't gotten a B yet and after seeing people getting the award for all A's at the honor ceremony last year, I am striving to do the same. For me, this also includes getting 4's, if not 5's on my AP exams. 2nd, I want to have a successful lacrosse season when it starts. Finally, I want to develop a really good habit of studying and prepare for college entrance things, SAT's, applications, and maybe figure out what I want to major in. I still procrastinate a lot for no reason, and I'd like to fix this because it will be hurtful as I move on.
