 Writing prompt: I remember a time when my brother and I got lost in our new neighborhood. We decided to take a 30-minute walk to the park. By the end of the day, both of our cellphones died, so we did not remember the way back home. Since it was dark outside, I am very much afraid of the dark. Since my brother sees that I am anxious, he starts to as well. It took us 40 minutes to arrive home, but once we did, we were laughing so much. It was funny in the sense that we had gotten lost and experienced a situation like that too.  Summary Toddsy in class, we were finishing our projects. Reflection: It is important to value the people you have with you currently. 

 Reflection: I had a friend fallout recently. We were all a trio, and when one left, it was just me and my friend Paloma. The reason why we stopped being friends is that our friend Alondra posted something on social media that pushed one of my buttons. I was not going to stand on that, so Paloma and I backed away. Paloma found a TikTok that was similar to the situation we were going through with Alondra, and she told me Let's both repost it. And it sounded like a good idea in my head because the TikTok contained exactly how we feel in our situation. So I did it because it was relatable. until I did not realize Alondra could see that i reposted it, and she took it really bad. She started posting things hurtful towards us. I regret it, but at the same time, it is how I feel. I never like putting my problems on social media, so I ended up backing away from it. Till this day, our conflict is still going on. I just hope I don't do things like that again.  Summary: Today, we continu...

 Writing prompt: I've had my fair share of relationships. However, there is one particular relationship where everything was nothing but control. When you deal with people who want to control you, it tells you they had a past with someone very controlling, or they themselves have a certain insecurity. You have two options: leave the person or fight for it. When I was in my relationship, I had let myself be controlled. It didn't matter the age, nor the gender, nor anything else; it was simply draining, and I did not have the strength to leave or fight. It lasted for a year and seven months. What I would tell Harpo is that controlling someone is never the way to go. They are not animals, they are women. If you want to gain respect and be that male head, it's earned. There is always a balance that has to be maintained. It is also very important to build that trust with your partner. For Sofia, it is okay to keep your guard up. I know you love Harpo, too. I know you have a past...

 writing prompt: At my church, there is this lady who sings as if it were heavenly. However, she also has this powerful, purposeful voice. Immediately, I took her as someone so inspirational and exactly where I would like to be one day. Every Sunday, I would look at her techniques, like when she breathes, how long she holds certain notes, how she holds the microphone, the way she fills in with the songs, etc. I knew in my mind I did not want to be just exactly like her, but use her techniques to get to her level in my own way. I think it is very important to use someone or something inspirational, not to envy and try to be like them, but to use that to make yourself different.  Summary: Today, we continue reading the book "The Color Purple."  Reflection: Today, I learned that having a role model is important. It helps you find your purpose, dreams, and goals. It is never to copy someone; it is to figure out who you are. 

 Writing prompt: This book is definitely an interesting book I have ever read. I did not expect it to be such a strong and powerful message. I can feel Celie’s struggle in what to do in her situation. Experiencing rape at such a young age, she has a clear understand of what it is. Later her mother passes away, although she was not the best mother, she is left with her father that raped her and her sister. I honestly think this book already has me hooked and I can’t wait what happens next.  Summary today in class we took notes and began reading the story the color purple.  Reflection: I learned that letter tell a story too.
