Prompt: Describe a time when you couldn’t stop laughing.

 Prompt response: When I learned my sister had become celiac I was warned before hand and heard she was taking it hard. When I got home she gave me this look of don’t you dare make a joke and I did make a joke in response. I understand what it was like since I was a diabetic. I welcomed her to the club. Before long she and I were dying of laughter while our mom stood in horror.


Summary: In class we finished our one pager, and worked on this blog post.


Reflection: Sometimes people just need to laugh to get through traumatic things. Joy and laughter in the right context and person can be the best cure.

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 .
