In middle school there would be so much drama between friend groups. It was always something new everyday and it just got tiring being apart of. Like mostly in 7th grade is when it would happen. So eventually I took a break from that friend group and their drama. It taught me that I didn't really like them as people even though I liked them as friends. They were very unfriendly and only cared about themselves. It taught me that I wanted to be friends with kind people who wanted to help others and really cared about their friendship with me. It also gave me perspectives that I had not seen when I was friends with them like the whole world should not revolve around drama and who likes who and everything. I also realized how nobody really liked each other and they all hated each other. 

Summary- Today in class we got introduced to the book we are reading.

Reflection- I learned about what we need for a hike and more stuff about the book.

Finally, reflect on one area where you feel you need additional support or improvement as we move into the spring semester. This first semester course has provided lots of learning growth for me. I really enjoyed this course because learning new things was easy and the concepts were not difficult to understand. What I enjoyed the most about this class is how deep we dove into the meaning of things. Nothing was ever just on there surface, we really dove into to see the deeper, hidden meanings of whatever we were learning. There was a lot of clarity because we always knew what the word meant, of the theme. I feel li...

Prompt: Describe a time when you took a hiatus from something important. What led to the break, and how did it impact you?

In seventh grade, me and my best friend had sort of a fight.  It was a stupid argument, and it was during the summer. After our fight we didn't really talk for the rest of the summer. I was really scared that i would lose my best friend because of this. But i realized that if our friendship could crumble after one little fight, lour friendship would not have gone anywhere. I thought that we were really good friends, but i realized how friendship didn't have any real foundation. So that was my hiatus, a break from a friendship. And it taught me value strong friendships and make sure to build them strongly. And now she is still my best friend to this day.  summary- We learned more rhetoric elements reflection- learning more of the meanings of these elements.

  Prompt: In  Into the Wild , Christopher McCandless gives up many of his possessions in pursuit of freedom and meaningful experiences. If you had to simplify your life and keep only a few important possessions, what would you keep and why? What would be hardest to leave behind? The important possessions that I would keep would be like my blanket, my car, my dogs, my apple products like my airpods, phone, macbook, and apple watch, and money and my bed. And the hardest thing to give up would probably have to be like all my excessive clothes and like all the things I have in my room. But if I had to choose something from the list I would say my bed. I love my bed very much and I would not want to give that up.  Summary- Today we read the first chapter of the book and then answered 10 questions about the chapter.  Reflection- learning never to go on a hike and be irresponsible like the man in the book was.
