Prompt: Many holidays center around traditions. Describe one tradition that is important to you or your family and explain why it still matters (or why it no longer does).

        One tradition that we still do in my family is that when it gets to the time of Lunar New Year we get lucky money and we dress our traditional dress. We continue to do this because we are from Vietnam and it matters to us to celebrate every year. Most of the times it happens around September or February. When it comes to that time of the year I really enjoy it the most.

Reflect on a time when you paused to appreciate the beauty of nature, much like the speaker in “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Where were you, what did you notice, and how did that moment of stillness make you feel or change your perspective?

       A time when I paused to appreciate the beauty of nature was when I go to parks. That moment in the park made me feel at peace and comforting. It made me feel alone and one with nature with just trees and flowers. The beauty it brings is divine and calm and helps me relax while looking at the scenery. Just like in the poem the speaker stood there a while letting it all in. Just like how you are outside and let the air in. Summary: In class we read a new poem and read our own poems. Reflection: I am working on my one reply thing towards the poem that I read and am making it colorful and creative.

After reading “Out, Out—” by Robert Frost, reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome?

     During a final exam in a subject I found challenging, the pressure was long going. I only had a limited time to answer the hard questions, and a low score would really impact my overall grade. I was so focused as I worked through each problem, rereading questions to ensure I understood them fully and double-checking my answers to avoid  mistakes. By having intense focus, even when I felt overwhelmed, I was able to complete the exam. Then in the end I achieved a much better result than I had thought. Summary: Today in class we read a new poem and analyzed it.  Reflection: I comprehended and understood the poem.

Write about something that you wish you had more of.

        Something that I wished to have more of is toys. Not like childish toys, but actual figurines. As in Pop Mart toys, those beautiful, shiny, and small little figures. I like opening them from little blind boxes into blind bags. Those are so satisfying and so fun to open. You don't know what your gonna get, but your still excited to see what you get. Especially, if you get a common, rare, or ultra rare. Those are the most exciting. Blind boxes also come in a whole box with other blind boxes you can get. Different figures and other beautiful designs. I love collecting them and store them in my room to look at. Even if I don't play with it I still love to keep them and collect them.  Summary: Today in class Mr. Rease read about peoples blog posts and talking about them.  Reflection: Today I worked on my new blog post and continued to work on my presentation.
