A time when my heart and mind thought differently - August 25

 Prompt Response: A time when my heart and mind wanted two different things was with my recent breakup of my first and only ex. You see I never had a relationship before this dude and the only thing I knew of what “love” should be were from the movies, not even my parents showed true love because they will never see each other since they were always busy with work. So I thought I was doing everything I had to do when it came to loving. I thought I was being the best girlfriend ever, until we broke up. Obviously, I was devastated I didn’t want it to end I still loved him and everything but I did notice for the last 3 days of the relationship he acted weird and didn’t even wanted to talk to me at all and when he did it will be only about one thing, and we all know what that one thing is and the worst part was we were long distance at the time. At that moment of the breakup I forgot my brain existed and instead went on and listened to my heart because I still loved him, even when my “friends” hated him even thought they were his friends too, even when he had done bad things in the past I still saw him as the perfect guy in the world.



Summary: Today we read another poem by Emily Dickinson called, “Heart, We Will Forget

Him!”, and we also started to work on a sheet of paper that separates the heart with the logic side of it and the emotional side of it.



Reflection: The poem we read today explains how hard it is on trying to move on or forcefully removing that person from your brain but yet your heart still wants them. It’s relatable to everyone, especially people around my age because it shows no matter how hard you find a logical way to get them out of your brain your heart won’t flip the switch easily.

Analyze how you’ve adapted to the demands of this course over the past week - August 14, 2026

      Prompt Response: Over the past two weeks I've been really on top of my assignments especially in this corse because out of the classes I have this school year, this class specifically has been giving me more work to work on then the rest of my classes. Everytime I come back to my house after school I go quickly do what I can do with the work that I have to work on but if I don't finish it I always do it later in the night or I have to wake up more earlier than my normal time to wake up, something I do for every class not just this one. Something that I've been doing differently from my previous years of school that I considered it now as my strength is that I have a planner with me, since I'm a really busy woman and I knew junior year is gonna be the hardest year in high school from what I heard from my cousins and also because I easily for get stuff so a planner is helping me a lot so far. Even though having a planner is my strength, me being so busy is what I wo...

A phrase that I found myself using the most - August 31,2026

Prompt Response: A phrase that I found myself using the most right now is “what is up my guys”. I started to use this especially since the beginning of the school year when one of my teammates and best friends from my color guard team, Danny, started to say it every time she saw one of us just arrived at school. To be honest ever since I joined color guard I started to pick up things that they say or do and this was not an exception especially when it sounded funny every time she said it. Once me and the rest of the team started to say it, at first she looked at us with the biggest side-eye ever, but eventually she got used to it and even started to laugh when we’re all in sync. I usually only use it when I’m saying hi to them early in the morning same thing as another phrase I use like, “vas happenin” which is a reference by one of the members from my favorite boy band One Direction, but I usually only use it with my closest people which in this case, they’re my color guard friends, b...

How do you think your experience with that event helps you understand what it might have been like for Americans to experience the uncertainty and change following 9/11? Explain the connection. - September 11, 2026

  Prompt Response: The experience of me living through the Black Lives movement in 2020, it gave me a firsthand look at how fast the world can completely flip upside down, which helps me understand the sudden shock Americans felt after 9/11. When the video of George Floyd went viral it felt like an overnight shift where normal life stopped and an overwhelming wave of anger, fear and uncertainty took over every news channel and social media. Just like the years after 9/11 there was this intense, heavy feeling in the air where nobody knew what was going to happen next or if our society would ever go back to normal. Watching cities fill with massive protests and seeing military-style police on the streets showed me how a single event can immediately shatter your sense of safety. Both events forced people to constantly worry about the future while completely rewriting how we look at world-wide issues, security, and our everyday lives. Summary: Today in class we took a test over the sto...
