Prompt: What is the best piece of advice that your parent or guardian have given you? Tell what the advice was and what prompted you to ask the question.

 Prompt Response: I remember asking my dad did he enjoy school, during a time where I was falling behind and hating it. I remember he sat his fork and food down at the table and crossed his arms and sat back in his chair. He said learn to love the material, not the teachers, not the people. When you love the feeling of learning despite your environment or how you feel outside of learning. When you love learning it becomes easy, and it is a delusion to love all of it. Though going into it expecting to love it and doing it as you love it. Makes learning and the acquiring of information much easier.  

Summary: In class for Black History Month we read a poem called Mother to Son by Langston Hughes. We then as a class answered questions about what certain words meant in the text. 

Reflection: People go to their parents for a variety of reasons but I believe the main reason is it's a reliable, comfortable, source of experience. No matter what you do or experience you will never be as old as you, granted if they are alive, but still. They have a life of memories to draw from to help you, your job as a kid or their child is to learn how to prompt getting what you need out of them.
