Food is often tied to memory and emotion. Describe a meaningful memory connected to a meal or dish. Analyze how that experience shaped your understanding of family, culture, or belonging.

 Writing prompt: A meaning full memory that is connected to a meal is my grandma would always make fresh handmade tomato pasta with cheese on top. The smell of her home wasn't only the fresh tomato, but just a sweet and savory smell. It is very rare when that smell is activated because until this day, no one makes it how my grandma used to make it. However I recently encountered that smell at my friend's grandma's house. Although it tasted differently, the smell is what activated the times I could go to my grandma's house after church on a Sunday afternoon. This experience helped me realize how we adapt and how most every culture is the same just in a different version. 

Summary: Today in class we learned how food is connected to multicultural. 

Reflection: Today in class I learned about how it can show how culturally we are connected through food.

Write about a time when you were judged unfairly.

 Writing Prompt: one time I was judged unfairly was being left out from a group of white girl. I have nothing against them but based of their facial expressions and actions towards me was different. We had to get into groups at random and learn something from each and every one of them. I joined this one group and since a few of them already knew each other they were open to other but not me. They would skip my turn and just look at me like if I just landed on this planet. Once the timer went off I never spoke, I tried to because I wanted to make new friends, but I was silenced.  Summary: Today in class, we worked on a Common Lit Reflection: Today, I learned that being judge unfairly, especially if you don’t know the person, or in general, is cruel. No one likes to be judged because it just lowers our self esteem and our personality. It sometimes gives us a reason to change.

All this time, all these years, I could have heard back from my sister. To not feel alone, to not feel outnumbered, to not feel pain, anger, and most of all, love. I could have been out of this place with Nettie's help. I could have fought Mr.____ a long time ago. However.....I would have never met Shug Avery. I don't know how to feel, God, excited or angry. Is this a sin? Summary: Today in class, we continued to read independently  Reflection: Today, I learned that it is okay to feel emotions. Even tho you may not know what to do, feeling is an action too.
