Think about a moment when you challenged your parent(s)’ rules or expectations. How did you feel, and what was the outcome?

Think about a moment when you challenged your parent(s)’ rules or expectations. How did you feel, and what was the outcome?

Prompt Response: At first going against expectations can feel wrong, but every person has different expectations. When you think about how everyone thinks different you can start to think that everything your parents say can't always be right. For instance, If my mom said I have to do my laundry because its about respecting her I would maybe be confused. I would be confused because it is my laundry and my clothes. Maybe for myself it is easier to leave my clean laundry in a basket instead of having it in a bunch of different drawers. Whenever I personally feel a different way against how my parents think it can feel wrong or make me sad I do not fully agree with them. But in the end my brain is going to think differently about things and I should not hide those things just because I am scared of an argument or disagreement. As the years have gone on my parents and I have become better at communicating about the things we think. Usually in the end now we can come to an agree to disagree solution. 

Summary: I was sadly not in class today because my throat is hurting really bad. 

Reflection: Thinking about topics like these helps me to remind myself of how to communicate better.

Prompt :  What would you do: tell your friend to confess, tell their partner yourself, or stay quiet? Explain your choice, using ideas about loyalty and consequences from  Fences .  Prompt Response:  I have been through a situation like this before. My friend was cheating every weekend and her boyfriend knew but had no proof. I really liked my friend but it got to the point where I felt bad for her boyfriend. I eventually told him because she did not even want to be in a relationship but I still felt bad. I think that if she had cheated once but wanted to change I would have never told, but It was an ongoing situation. Summary: In class we read more but I had to leave early. Reflection: I am still really intrigued by this book and I think it shows real standards in real life.

Prompt: Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

Prompt: Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.  Prompt Response:  When I was at my family's friends house I was playing hide and seek with my two friends. During this time their dad was around a lot and did not live in Vegas at this time. A few years later his wife divorced him and now he lives in Vegas. But, one day my friends and I were all hanging out and he came down. When I was younger my ears were more out and bigger. He said that my ears made me look like a monkey. And then my friends decided it was funny and started saying it too. I think that a father should not be making jokes about his daughters friends, but he did anyways. Now, since then I always want to cover my ears and not make them noticeable. I have realized that I have grown and they are not as out and as big, but I still feel like that little kid. I feel like my ears are always out and I do not want people to see them.  Summary: In class we presented our posters. My poster wa...
