Prompt: Write about your most special holiday memory.

Last Christmas was the most special holiday I’ve ever had because my whole family was together. On Christmas Eve, we decorated the tree with a mix of old ornaments full of memories and new ones we made ourselves. Later, we sat by the fireplace eating cookies and sharing stories, with my grandpa telling us about his first Christmas with my grandma. On Christmas morning, we made breakfast together, laughing as my younger brother accidentally burned the bacon. What made it unforgettable was how present everyone was—no phones, no distractions, just us. It reminded me that the best part of the holidays isn’t the gifts but the time spent with family.

Today we did chapters 8-10 from a Lesson Before Dying.
I completed the assignment.

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.
