In 2–3 well-developed sentences, reflect on how you spent your Holiday Break. Then, identify four personal you would like to achieve this year and briefly explain why each goal is important to you

Writing prompt: My holiday break wasn't too lucky; I was sadly sick throughout the two weeks. On the 3rd day, I had to be hospitalized due to how sick I was. However, it was nice resting and enjoying the warmth of my home. 


Summary: Today in class, we reviewed the class expectations and had an assignment on Writtable, where we were asked to write four SMART goals for 2026. 


Reflection: Today i learned how to write a proper SMART goal. 


The first goal I want to achieve this year is to pass all of my classes with a 90% grade. This goal is important to be because I was very proud of myself for having an 85% grade for the first semester. I know I can exceed that percentage by going up to having 90% for all classes. This will also help me manage my time and know that nothing is impossible. To accomplish this goal, I will study 2 times a week for 4 hours for any upcoming tests or anything I do not understand. I will also take one hour each day to complete any homework for any of my classes. By May 12th, a week before graduation, I plan to have 90% or higher in all of my classes. 


The second goal I want to achieve this year is to read more books of any genre. This goal is important to me because I want to read a book and be able to break it down to understand what I know it is, what it is talking about. I want to say, "Hey I read that book too." To accomplish this goal, I will go to Barnes & Noble every weekend and choose a book to read. I will read 2 chapters every weekend. I will also take notes for each chapter and write a reflection. Starting in April and by December, I plan to have read 6 books.


The third goal I want to achieve this year is to take a trip to Mexico. This goal is important to me because I've been meaning to go visit my grandma at her grave, get to know family, and just explore the country. To accomplish this goal, any money I gain from my family member or when I get a job, I will put 50 dollars to the side to save up. Eventually, the amount will start to increase once I get employed. By July 2026, I plan to have booked a ticket to take a trip to Mexico and enjoy it.


The final goal I want to achieve this year is to get closer to God. This goal is important to me because I've come to a decision that this is something I need to do. I serve at my church, and there are many things that I still need to learn. To achieve this goal, I will take 1-2 hours of my day to read any book from the Bible. I will also read a devotional everyday on the Bible App. By December 2026, I plan to have grown with God and be able to preach about his word.

Think about a moment when you challenged your parent(s)’ rules or expectations. How did you feel, and what was the outcome?

 Writing Prompt: Growing up, it was mandatory, according to my mom, to serve in our church. There were many options I could have done so, but my mom thought dancing was for me. There were moments where I did like it, but that didn't feel enough for me. I served in the dance ministry for 9 years of my life. Slowly, throughout those years, I felt so drained and was always questioning my purpose. I never went against my mother because at the moment, she was more strict and very religious. Until one day, I had finally had enough. I told my mother I didn't want to dance anymore. I can see anger in her eyes. I already knew how it was going to go, but I also knew that yelling and causing a scene was not the way to go. She was, of course, yelling and trying to understand (this was at church). I simply said I couldn't do it anymore. I'm supposed to enjoy serving the lord, but how can I do that if I feel empty and remorseful? During that year, I was taking singing classes at scho...

Describe a time when you felt completely lost

 Writing Prompt: A time when I felt completely lost was when my grandmother passed away. In my culture, we value our grandmothers. She passed away during COVID due to heart failure. The reason I felt completely lost was that my mother was never home due to her work, as she was both the woman and the man of the house. Although my siblings were there, my grandma was my mother too. It felt like my whole heart was ripped from my chest. I did not eat for a few days; I did not want to leave myself room. I fell into depression. All I can do is stare and zone out. It was like that for about 2-3 months. I've never witnessed or been through a loss in my family, so it took a big toll on me. Till this day, I still feel like a piece of me left and died within me, but I did find peace in the darkness. I was able to find bits and pieces to put me back together, and I found my way.  Summary: Today in class, we presented our identity masks, and then we completed our blog post.  Reflection...

Write about a moment when you had to step out of your comfort zone

 Writing prompt: One moment I had to step out of my comfort zone was to help my niece's friends shower. They were having a sleepover, and normally, before bed, they would take a shower. I normally shower my niece; however, since she had her friend. I had to shower her as well. I told my brother id she could do it, but she was busy cooking dinner. So, I helped the little girl shower. It was definitely a big No for me, but at the same time, it was a sacrifice I was willing to make.  Summary: Today in class, we finished our project. Reflection: Stepping out of your comfort zone is okay sometimes. I say this because when you step out of your comfort zone, you're putting yourself in a position you've never been in before. It can either go well or not. However, you at least now know.
