Prompt: Write about a conversation that changed you.

One conversation that changed me was with my older brother when I was 16. I was freaking out about choosing between a safe job at the local store or trying out for a position at a music camp that was risky but something I really wanted. He looked at me and said, “Do you want to regret not trying, or do you want to take the chance and know you gave it your all?” His words hit me hard, and I realized I’d never forgive myself if I didn’t go for it. I decided to take the chance and audition for the camp, and even though it was nerve-wracking, I learned so much about myself and what I’m capable of. From that moment on, I stopped letting fear hold me back and started taking risks, even when it was scary.

Summary: We did a vocab assignment.

Reflect: I learned a lot of new words.

Write about a truth you were afraid to accept.

A truth I was afraid to accept was that not everyone would understand or support the choices I made in life. For a long time, I feared disappointing others or being misunderstood. Over time, though, I realized that following my own path, even when it's different from what others expect, is the only way to truly grow and be authentic to myself. Accepting this truth was difficult, but it ultimately brought me peace and a stronger sense of self. Reflect: Today we did a NewsELA. Summary: I actually have already completed the NewsELA.

  Near-death experiences (NDEs) are fascinating because they make me wonder if there’s something beyond this life. Some people describe bright lights, feelings of peace, or even seeing loved ones who have passed away, which sounds spiritual. Scientists, though, say these experiences might just be the brain reacting to trauma, like a flood of chemicals creating hallucinations. I think there could be truth in both views—maybe NDEs are our minds trying to make sense of something we don’t fully understand. If they are real, they could mean there’s an afterlife, which is both comforting and a little scary. Either way, NDEs remind me how mysterious life and death really are.
