 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.

 Response- There is a lot of homeless people that come to my job. Most of them are nice and ask for food and don't really bother the customers. I do feel bad for them and I give them extra food after close if we have any. Summary- But Some of them are kind of crazy or methed out. There's a lot of crazy stories and some of them harass the employees including me. Reflection- I don't think all homeless people are bad, I just think that some of them are not okay mentally but I do try to help when I can. 

 Response- I am thankful for my best friends. I have a small circle of friends but I know that they have my back and I can trust and love them. Summary- They're always there when I want to talk or going through something and I feel like that's rare when there's so many fake friends today. Reflection- I'm very thankful for my best friends and I wouldn't trade them for anyone else. I wonder if other people are grateful for their friends.

 Response- I remember a few years ago this crime case was trending and people were talking about how crazy and sad it was. It was a case about a girl Junko Furuta who rejected this guy and she was abducted by him for 44 days and tortured in the 1980s. Summary- It was a really sad case and she had been murdered after 44 days of being kidnapped. It's scary to think that the reason it happened was only because she rejected the guy she didn't like. Reflection- It stood out to me because it could happen to anyone, and it reminds me of how dangerous the world is.

Response- A place that holds deep memories for me is my old apartments I used to live in with my mom. I rarely see them because its downtown but it reminds me of when I was little and used to live there. Summary- I always reminisce when I see my old apartments and I think of how much I've changed from the span of 10 years, but I was also just a little kid. Reflection- there are other places that hold deeper memories, especially negative ones but I like to think on my old apartments as it brings back happy moments.

 Response- One of the vocabulary words I have seen outside of school is "incantation". I know this vocabulary word from the name of a horror movie I watched on Netflix.  Summary- The movie was about a girl getting cursed and having to protect her daughter for the consequences of her actions. It helped me understand the word because it's basically what the movie is about. Reflection- Surprisingly I only know two other words from the unit 2 vocabulary so I've got to extend my word bank by learning and studying the new vocabulary that was assigned.

 Response- My dad is the strictest parent when it comes to discipline. Its definitely helped me be more independent but I also don't agree with a lot of the things he wants for me. Summary- I think it's important for parents to be strict though, it's better than parents who don't care or don't put in the effort. Reflection- When I'm a parent I'm going to be less strict than my dad but if I have a kid I will have rules to keep her/him safe and show discipline when needed.
