Describe one thing that makes you different from other people.

 One thing that makes me different than other people is that I never stick to one thing. Once I become mediocre at a hobby or a skill, I completely drop it. I believe this is what makes me different because I don't like having to compete with other people when it comes to talent. Comparison is the thief of joy so I rather be good at multiple things than to master one and still be behind. It gives me peace of mind besides, it cool to show off random skills to people.

Today we analyzed a poem that talked about being a nobody and how not everyone can be different. Special/ unique people often try to seek out others in a crowd full of somebodys. We went in depth asking ourselves what others expect of us and what society expects from us.

This lesson opened up my eyes on how being unique and being yourself is essential into making a difference. Most celebrities and famous entrepreneurs went outside the box and that made them stand out in a crowd. Standing out guarantees a future in which people remember you.

Prompt: Think about the word or phrase you find yourself using the most right now. What is it, what does it mean, and why has it become part of your everyday vocabulary? Explain when you typically use it and what your choice of this word or phrase might reveal about you.

 I find myself saying ngl (Not gonna lie) and "Like" too much. Its just a way for me to transition or compare ideas. Though I do it too often and I just end up sounding repetitive in my speech patterns. I cant help typing like and ngl in my chats, its just a way for me to express myself and being real. I use ngl as a way to say my honest opinion without it sounding too harsh. Like! for example, "Ngl, that's insane, like I would never."  Summary: Today we learned 10 new vocab words and finished a worksheet in which we had to apply them in sentences. We also read a difficult prompt that we had to answer to. Reflection: I need to work more on my vocabulary and not use the same words over and over again because then I sound repetitive and boring. It would be interesting if I went out of my comfort zone and start applying these in real life.

Prompt: In “Heart, We Will Forget Him!” by Emily Dickinson, the speaker shows a conflict between what we think and what we feel. Describe a time when your heart and your mind seemed to want two different things. Which one did you listen to, and why?

One time I felt a conflict between my mind and my heart was when I wanted to stay back in Mexico with my grandparents but we all knew it was better for me to live in the United States. It was a fight between staying with everything I knew and with my family or to have better opportunities out in the US. We all knew, the choice was already made. Fortunately, I still keep contact with my family so it wasn't a really big deal. Summary: In the poem Heart we will forget him it talks about the duality of the mind and the heart. How the mind drives us to make more analytical conclusions while or heart yearns for what it wants. It is this constant fight that makes them so hard to get over someone either romantically or Platonic. Reflection: Today we went over healthy ways of getting over someone and I was shocked to hear that just cutting contact is an unhealthy way. It doesn't make sense for me because it is the best conclusion for both.
