Imagine writing a letter to yourself 10 years from now. What advice, hopes, or reminders would you include?

 I would remind myself to stick with the things that I enjoy and to work hard because it pays off. I would also tell them to make sure to spend time with my family because I only have limited time with them. We worked more on the ela project. I am feeling good about this week and can easliy make it to the end of the week.

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.

 To get into a creative mode, I usually find some inspiration in something in interested in at the time. I also try to limit the restrictions and criteria that may disrupt the creativity. We are still working on the lesson before dying project and the planning sheet to go with it.

Describe a time when you took a hiatus from something important. What led to the break, and how did it impact you?

 This year I stopped doing swimming at lakeside. It was mostly just because I wanted to focus on my other sport and school more. I don't regret my decision and I think it was for the best. In class we are doing a project on a lesson before dying so I will be working on that for the next few days. I am feeling good about this week and energized to get through the rest of it.

Write about something that you heard that you wish you could unhear.

I once overheard friends talking about a show that I hadn't finished yet and it was spoiled for me. I was absent today but from canvas it looks like we just caught up on our work and made sure to turn in any missing assignments. I have missed this whole week of school which is nice but I need to make sure that I keep up with my assignments.

Write about a moment when you felt you had the power to make a difference in someone else's life.

I remember helping a friend after a hard time and realizing that I can make a big difference in how they feel. Today was another virtual learning day because of the weather, so we read chapters 23-25 and answered some questions about them. I am happy that we have not had school this week because it has given me a break.

Describe a place where you feel the most at peace and explain why.

 I feel most at peace when I'm in nature because it makes me greatfull and it makes me feel connected with the rest of the world. Today it snowed and we have another virtual learning day, so we just read chapters 20-22 and answered some questions about that. I am happy that we have more days off and there will most likely not be school tomarrow either.

Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

A time that someone's words had a lasting impact on me was when my parents told me that I can do anything I put my mind to. Today was a virtual learning day so we just read chapters 16-19 and answered questions about them. I feel good about this week because it might snow and we will have more days off.

Write about a moment when you had to step out of your comfort zone.

A moment where I had to step out of my comfort zone that comes to mind is when I was at a rock climbing place, and I was scared of heights but I went out of my comfort zone and climbed the wall anyway. Today in class we worked on A Lesson Before Dying chapters 10-11 and did some assignments about those chapters. I am ready for this semester to really start. I am going to try to get even better grades than last semester but we'll see.

If you were President of the United States of America, what are 5 things that you would do and why?

 If I were president of the USA, these are the 5 things that I would do. I would make it so that companies over a certain networth cannot buy and own single family homes. I would also change the rules about food and labels, making it so you have to display clearly what nutrients and calories are in your product. I would also Lower taxes and reallocate the money more effeciently into things that the people care about. Lastly I would place tarrifs to make companies more likely to base their manufacturing an American which would give jobs to people here and boost the economy.

Write about a dream that felt real.

Once, I had a dream that I slept in for school, There wasn't anything out of the ordinary in the dream so I didn't question it. When I eventually woke up I had still though I had slept in and was trying to get ready really fast. It took me a while to realize that I wasn't actually late and it was just a dream.

Summarize your holiday break. In addition, write about 5 personal goals that you want to achieve in 2025. Explain why you chose those goals.

 My winter break was good. The first half I went to Florida and went to the beach which was really fun. The other half I hung out with friends on new years and hung out at my house which was also fun. This break felt so long and I was ready to go back to school. My 5 goals are to get stronger, get better at lacrosse, keep all a's this semester, make more money at work, and read more books. This is because this covers most areas of my life and improves my life for the better
