Prompt: Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss.

Prompt: Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss.

Prompt Response: I used to think that my best friend and I would grow old together. For years we were inseparable sleepovers every weekend, inside jokes no one else understood, and long phone calls about everything and nothing. We knew each other’s secrets, and it felt like nothing could ever break that bond.But as we got older, we slowly drifted apart. It wasn’t one big dramatic ending. It was different schools, new interests, and new people. Texts turned from long conversations to short answers, and eventually to silence. I started to realize that the version of myself who fit perfectly with that friendship wasn’t the same person I was becoming.I’ve outgrown that friendship in the sense that I’ve changed. I see the world differently now, and I’ve found new friends who understand who I am today, not just who I was back then. Still, I miss it. I miss the comfort of knowing there was one person who always picked up the phone. I miss someone who truly understood me without me having to explain.Even though I know we’ve both moved on, a part of me still misses who we were together. That friendship doesn’t fit my life anymore, but the memories are something I’ll always carry with me. 

Summary: I enjoyed todays assignment even though it was a little more boring than the others we have done in the past. 

Reflection: I really do miss my best friend but things just could not work out.

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.

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...
