Prompt: Write about a time when you were judged unfairly.

 There was a time in school when I felt judged unfairly, and it still sticks with me. In sophomore year, I tried out for the school soccer team, nervous but excited. I practiced hard, showing up early and giving it my best, but when the team roster was posted, I didn’t make it. What hurt most was the way some of the kids who did make it spoke about me, saying things like, “He’s just trying to get attention” or “He’s not good enough.” It made me feel like I didn’t belong, and that I wasn’t serious about the sport, even though I was. It took time, but I realized I couldn’t let their judgment define me. That experience taught me that people often judge without knowing the full story, so I try to be more understanding and open-minded with others.

Today in class we started a new book called "Lesson before Death" .

It seems pretty interesting

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.

 Today in class we did notes on argument. We learned about logos ethos and pathos. Pathos is when they stir up someone’s emotions. Ethos is when they use someone reliable to tell the audience. Logos is when they write facts. It was a good day of notes.

  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.
