March 23-Think about a moment when your understanding of your family changed as you got older. How did that shift impact your perspective, and how does that connect to Chris’s realization about his parents in Chapter 11?

 Response- When growing up I slowly realized that my parents had lied about certain things to cover up how I saw them. It was about what they did but the principle, and it was things they didn't even have to keep from me because of my age, they just straight out lied for no reason and it made me see them differently.

Summary- My parents lied about things which made me see them differently just like how Chris started to see his family from another perspective.

Reflection- In class we read chapter 11

Nov 20- Write about a time when you realized you needed to look out for yourself in a silly or harmless situation—maybe dodging a pop quiz, escaping a group chat argument, or remembering at the last second to submit an assignment. How did choosing wisely make your life easier?

 Response- One time I this guy wanted my number and I didn't like him but I gave it to him anyways. But then my friends started saying how I shouldn't have and was sitting he could get info from my number.  Summary- I didn't want to keep texting him because he was starting to weird me out so I just told him my messages were glitching when he asked why I wasn't texting him and I blocked him. Reflection- There were also times where I tried to get my mom to check me out before a pop quiz but it didn't work. But after blocking him I felt better and stopped worrying the situation.

Sep 5- You are currently working on a soundtrack for selected Emily Dickinson poems. With that in mind, if asked to choose a song to describe your life right now, which song would you select and why?

 Response- I would choose the song "New Person, Same Old Mistakes" By Tame Impala, to describe my life. I chose the song because by the title it tells everything. Summary- I have changed as a person since when I first started out in high school but I feel like I have still repeated the same types of bad decisions. But as of now I'm in a good place, the song has an upbeat rhythm to it and the lyrics are really relatable. Reflection- I am happy where I am now, but in the future I hope I can relate to a better song.
