Write about a time when you did something out of the norm. What was it and how did others react?

Write about a time when you did something out of the norm. What was it and how did others react? 

Prompt Response: Over my years of high school I have learned that people will judge you for basically anything. As a person you have to decide if you will care what others think or if you will do what you want. I used to think that having a friend group was super important and that having a good social status meant a lot. But, after having a lot of different groups of people in my life I started understanding that having individual friends and not a group is way healthier. People in groups leave certain people out, have smaller groups in a group, and also usually do not include people around them or make people uncomfortable. A lot of the people I know that are not in groups are super nice and very inclusive. The ones who are in big groups usually aren't as nice. When I decided to not have a group and have less of a social life that made me look popular people thought it was odd and different. But I decided to be myself and be happy. I also started dating my boyfriend and prioritized a lot of my life around him which also made people upset and question me. But, in the end I am going to do what makes me happiest and what makes my life the easiest.

Summary: In class we read a poem about being different and then we turned in our worksheets from the block day. 

Reflection: I am really enjoying this english class. I usually hate english classes but this class makes me interested and I actually want to learn.

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...
