 In “Missing Your People,” Tracy Brower explains the importance of belonging. Describe a time when you felt like you truly belonged. What created that feeling?

Response: A time I felt belonged in a group or just general social setting was when I first time I had gotten an invitation to a birthday party. The first time I was invited out in middle school to a non-family member's party with people my age, this guy I knew really didn't know me and we had only been friends for maybe 4 months. In all honesty the feeling was created after during a quiet moment in this party late at night we had played truth or dare and I had been asked about my thoughts on a person. At this time this person was the most negative and self centered person I had ever known, she was communally disliked and when I explained my grievances I was accepted and agreed with. 

Summary: We analyzed a commonlit article that argued and evaluated acceptance and what it meant to be accepted.

Reflection: I felt the article was short, it was wildly a performative piece and the info was fairly base level.

  Prompt: In Emily Dickinson’s “ I Felt a Funeral, in My Brain ,” the speaker experiences a mind that seems to work against her. Sometimes our own thoughts can make a situation feel worse than it actually is. Describe a time when overthinking, worrying, or doubting yourself affected the way you handled a situation. What did you learn from the experience? Response : Overthinking is soo prominent in any social sense, especially when it comes to presenting projects or expressing yourself in a large group. I've felt a variety of times overwhelmed or demotivated while presenting a project and or speaking in public. The main issue is I don't learn too much for my experiences in these situations, I avoid the subject and try to finish the presentation quicker. In general I worry a lot and presenting and projects just make it worse, especially if the project being presented is a group project. Summary: we read a poem  and analyze the thought process and symbolism Reflection: I think w...

Prompt: Talk about a time when you had to write a poem, whether it was for an assignment, event, or special occasion. What was the writing process like for you, and were you proud of the finished product?

  Prompt: Talk about a time when you had to write a poem, whether it was for an assignment, event, or special occasion. What was the writing process like for you, and were you proud of the finished product? I always had a difficult time physically expressing myself, especially when it came to physical relationships. The first poem I wrote for a girl was strange, I never knew how to write well or  how to find the words to express how I feel and now all my weakness were fighting against me. This was in middle school, a time where love meant everything and losing it was basically social suicide. I took days to even text out what I wanted to write and it mainly came from cheesy rom-com tropes and basic literary devices. The closer I got to writing it out on pen and paper the more I was scared to express myself. But when I did finish I was proud, I was proud of the expression and art I made. Summary: We read and rated our understanding of a poem, we read and read and listened Refle...

Describe one thing that makes you different from other people

  Describe one thing that makes you different from other people I think a thing that makes me especially different from other people is my attitude towards certain mental afflictions, I completely refuse to let myself in any sense be reused or seen as a second thought to people I have any resemblance of care towards. The main issue that occurs during this is my reactions towards people pleasers and weaponized guilt tripping. It affects me to a certain extent but the main effect doesn't really have an opportunity to really hurt me. Summary:We begun a reflection based assignment based off a poem, the main thing we questioned was our sense of self and our identity outside of our names. Reflection: During the assignment we had some hard hitting questions that especially were against our selves.
