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

 Prompt Response: When I joined wrestling at Lakeside High School. I didn't know the club existed until the end of my freshman year. I remember the last day of school there was an announcement calling those who are interested in wrestling to show up to Coach Moore's room. I asked my friend if I should as a joke, and he laughed yes. I went partly as a joke. I ended up spending countless hours in that wrestling room, and making unforgettable memories with great friends. 

Summary: I arrived late to class but we read the poem "I'm Nobody! Who are you?" by Emily Dickinson. After we analyzed the text and answered some questions. My response to the "Who are you?" . . ."I am a 18 year old high school student getting ready to apply to college to seek an opportunity at making my own life. 

Reflection: Poetry is an odd thing because at first its like reading another language but once you understand it beautiful. I enjoy the median despite my lack of proficiency with it. Plus the now daily self reflection this class causes me is interesting.

Prompt: Much of this section focuses on Cheryl’s physical exhaustion and discomfort. Describe a moment when your body limited what you could do, and explain what that experience taught you about your mental strength.

  Prompt Response: I remember when I had my first asthma attack during a match. I fully stopped all the effort I had put forward for months learning and training for wrestling. Every practice and every match I have to deal with it. I hate it so much, I could do other things and most likely do better at those things but instead I do wrestling. I don’t have a concrete reason anymore besides I must see it through. Despite everything and my own body telling me to stop for years now I keep going.  Summary: In class we read chapter 6, and answered 6 questions about chapter 6.  Reflection: I’m quite familiar with having your own body giving up on you. Diabetes and asthma make sure of that with my sport. I have a talent for weightlifting, I do not have a talent for wrestling. Although wrestling is where I put the majority of my time and effort. Sometimes when you do something hard your reason changes and sometimes you lose sight of that reason. For me it has become just my li...

Prompt: What is the most challenging part of working in a group? Discuss a time when a group assignment did not go as well as you planned and how you learned from that experience.

 Prompt Response: The most challenging part of working with a group is assuming everyone will do their part and if they do their part the quality of work will be up to par. I remember in middle school I was assigned a group project in 8th grade. The other two people knew I did my work so they did nothing, and if I did only my part my grade would suffer. What I learned from that is communicating with my teacher about my partners to ensure they do their part and my grade doesn’t suffer.  Summary: In class we were assigned a group project and Mr. Reese went over the instructions for such a project. He then assigned groups based off table, but that works out in my favor.  Reflection: I hate group projects unless they are with people I like, or I know they’ll do their part. Unreliable people make group projects miserable because you feel trapped having to do more work because they don’t wanna do work .
