  Prompt Response: My experience on American Lit so far has been a great experience just being in this class, teaching more about myself and what I can improve not just as a student but also as a person when it comes to writing. Throughout the course of this four and a half weeks timing, turning in my assignments on time has been what’s been going well for me, especially since this year when I’m starting to use a planner to plan out all the things I have to do for the week and it helps me be organized even when I have stuff to do after school. What has been challenging for me is that since the beginning of the school year was to keep up with the Friday blogs because in Fridays I go to the football games for marching band, and lately the games have ended late at night and I would be stressing on the way back to school to finish the blog so I won’t be worried about it throughout the weekend. Finally, one thing that I’m looking to improve moving forward is that I don’t have to worry a...

  Prompt Response: Someone who has left a lasting impact on me recently is once again my ex. In the last post I talked about how I felt about the breakup and how I still loved him even after like 2 months of the break up but then once summer break came along I started to forget about him and just moved on from him completely. I remember during the summer I was watching every Marvel movie in existence, I know its off topic but just hear me out, after watching every single movie off Marvel not only did I realize 2 things, one I shouldn’t stop doing stuff of what I like from a guy, and two I gotta stop acting like the love interests from the movies if I want the “perfect” man for me. When I was with my ex, I stopped doing everything I loved and having my own opinions, like if he loved D.C., I had to watch D.C movies and not Marvel, if he was homophobic I had to say I was homophobic so he would be satisfy, and I remember one night he even said this to me, “once we get married and have ...

  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 ...

  Prompt Response: A time when doubting and overthinking about myself affected the way I handled the situation was when I had my first panic attack. It was in 6th grade, my parents were always the stereotypical strict hispanic parents, ones that will tell you that you have to be better than the person next to you, it was never a problem for me and I never saw it as a problem, after all parents know better than the kids. I came home that day with them giving me a side eye, and I already knew I was in big trouble, they came up to me and starting to ask me why did I got a 92 on a math test, to make matters worse both my little sister who was in the 4th grade at the time, and my brother who was in 1st grade, came up to my parents and told them how they got a hundred on their tests, within seconds my parents looked at me and started to compare me with my siblings for the first time in my life. Later that night, I couldn’t sleep, especially not when I had their words stuck in my brain an...

  Prompt Response: One thing that makes me different from other people is that I’m way too kind and caring about everyone compared to everyone else. This makes me different from other people because that’s how I grew up as, especially when I had to live in a household there was always something bad happening, whether if it was about money or about immigration, I always had to make sure my whole family was at least happy for a bit even if it was a minute. That also meant I did the same thing when my friends were going through anything in life. I didn't care if I was going through worse stuff then they were or if none of my friends or family did the same, I didn’t care as long as they were ok. If anyone had a bad I always found ways to make them have a smile on their face, no matter what if I had to crack a joke, talk about my latest celebrity crush obsession or write something for them as long as I knew in my heart and mind I was the reason they were smiling, and yes sometimes they ...

  Prompt Response: An adventure I would like to go to one day is, to go to abandoned places or anywhere after hours even if it sounds illegal. This is an adventure I want to go to one day because when I have free time, I watch videos on how people go to cinemas, malls or even just a Walmart after hours or abandoned and I will just love the thrill and just get adrenaline through my body just like if I was there with them. I would also love to go in this adventure because just knowing that you could be in a place that is off-limits to everyone just feels like you have a privilege being there while breaking the rules for being there, and with all the fences, closed doors and everything that stands in the way just makes it to one of the best challenges for being in that place. This would be a great idea for an adventure because it’s not only for the thrill but also because it adds a bit of curiosity to it for why it was abandoned in the first place and it makes you feel like an explore...
