Prompt: Write about an object that holds sentimental value and why it’s important to you.

 My grandmother’s old locket holds a lot of sentimental value to me. It’s a small gold heart with a tiny clasp that opens to reveal two pictures inside. One side has a picture of her as a young woman, and the other has a photo of me when I was a baby. She gave it to me last year on my birthday, saying it was a reminder of how connected we are. Whenever I wear it, I feel closer to her, even though she lives far away now. The locket isn’t perfect—it has a few scratches from years of use—but that makes it even more special because it shows how long it’s been loved. When I’m nervous or anxious, I sometimes hold it in my hand, and it helps calm me down. It’s not just a piece of jewelry; it’s a little piece of family history. To me, the locket represents love, memories, and the bond I’ll always have with my grandma.

Today in class we learned about characterization.

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.

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.
