In 2–3 well-developed sentences, reflect on how you spent your Holiday Break. Then, identify four personal you would like to achieve this year and briefly explain why each goal is important to you (Copy and paste your completed response from Writable into your blog).

 Over Winter Break, I went to Louisiana to visit my grandma and other family. On Christmas Eve, I went to church for the vesper service and then had gumbo at my aunt's house. Then on Christmas Day, I opened presents with my family and spent the rest of the day fishing.

My first goal is I hope to save $5000, which will let me have money in case something happens. To accomplish this goal, I will work hard at my job and save 50% of every paycheck.

My second goal is to catch 100 fish. This goal is important to my mental health because I didn´t catch enough last year. To accomplish this goal, I will fish every weekend that I can and won't give up when the fish aren't biting. I will also invest in better gear.

My third goal is to get all A's. This goal will make my parents happy and help me get into college. To achieve this goal, I will study for tests and be sure I don't have any missing assignments.

My fourth goal is to get a 30 on my ACT. This will set me up for college. To achieve this goal, I will study every night and get an ACT tutor.


Today in class, we went over the expectations for the class, then wrote down 4 goals for the year.  I was able to identify and write 4 SMART goals, like the example we were given. These goals give me a plan and path for the year to come, allowing me to focus on what I need to do.

Choose a vocabulary word that resonates with you personally. Write a blog post explaining why this word is significant to you, including any personal memories or experiences that link you to the word.

 The word gibberish resonates with me personally. I feel like when I'm in high-intensity situations, I can tend to start speaking gibberish. Today in class, Mr. Reese wasn't here, so we did an assignment in a vocabulary book. This assignment might help me on the SAT, where I will have to identify and use different vocab.

Describe your personal approach to creativity. What steps do you follow when you’re working on a project. Tell me about a project you created that you were most proud of.

 My personal approach to creativity starts with a brain dump where I put down all the ideas that I have relating to the topic at hand. Next, I move into formulating the actual project and refining as I go until I am satisfied with the outcome. A project that I'm proud of is my science fair project in middle school. I was very interested in my topic, so I was very thorough with my research, experiment, and paper. I ended up going to the state fair for my project and won an award. Today in class, we did a writable assignment where we read a short passage with attached vocab and answered comprehension questions. I was absent at the end of last week, so I made up a quiz. Today's work will help me improve my reading comprehension and vocab which are both important skills going into college.

If you had to describe how you show love using only three objects (for example: a playlist, a hoodie, a late-night snack, a long text message, etc.), what would you choose and why? Explain what each object represents and how it connects to your personality.

 The objects that describe how I show love are a playlist, a movie, and a hoodie. A playlist shows my connection to music and how important it is to my life. Next, the movie is one of my favorite ways to relax, and finally, a hoodie shows my affection for being comfortable. Today we did pretty much nothing in class. This helped me relax.
