Write about a time you didn’t feel like yourself.

 For a long time I didn't feel like myself. Years went by when I never truly knew who I was. This feeling has always been with me ever since I was a little kid. I remember being in the first grade and not knowing who I was. It only got worse as I got older. Sophomore year, I had the worst school year of my life. My mental health was bad and I was struggling with severe anxiety. I refused to get help because I was scared to reach out. I didn't have anyone to go to and I was worried that if I got medicated then I would become a different "not me". I eventually did end up trying medication and I am so glad that I did. For the first time I felt ok. Then came Junior year. Right when the year started, everything went wrong. During this time, I lost myself again, not that I had fully found me yet. I felt so lost cause I had lost everything normal in my life. Then I met my boyfriend. And yes I know how cringe this sounds but he truly did save me. He helped me find the real me for the first time in a very long time. Without him, I am not sure where I would be. Everyday I am so thankful to have him in my life, pushing me to be me.

Write about something you have always been curious about

 One thing I have always been curious about is why we humans have never fully explored the ocean. Everyone is willing and eager to go and explore space but what about our own planet. Everyone wants us to keep pushing to put the first man on Mars but I believe that we should explore our own planet first before venturing out farther. That is one thing I am curious about is why we haven't and what is down in the ocean? absent absent

What metaphor would you use to describe your own mind?

 My mind is like a battlefield. Every day, all of my feelings, thoughts, and desires all face each other. It is a constant battle to see who is right. My mind is never calm, it is always thinking about something, or trying to figure something out. Every day, I have to have this battle to see if my negative or positive thoughts will win. Not just daily, but in every scenario I have to see who will win.  Today in class we analyzed more poems by Emily Dickerson. What I learned was I need to work on my deeper thinking skills. I have a hard time focusing on what I am reading so I need to learn to get better with that so I can analyze her poems better.

What life skills have you learned in high school that will help you live independently after high school? Which skills do you think are essential for your success after high school?

 One life skill that I have learned in high school is how to manage my time wisely. It has helped me a lot in and out of school. Time management is a very useful skill that everyone will need to learn at some point in their life whether it is for school or not. Some skills that I believe will help me be successful after high school are communication, time management, and learning how to balance everything in my life. All of these skills will help me not only in school but also in life.  Today in class we continued to work on Rhetoric skills. I learned about many new types of Rhetorics.
