Analyze how you’ve adapted to the demands of this course over the past week, and evaluate one strength and one challenge you anticipate as we progress, justifying your insights with personal examples.

  Prompt Response:   During this week I've made plenty of adjustments to fulfill what's expected of me. I've tried to have a set schedule on when to complete assignments, as well as planning an creating a base for each assingment. A strength while taking this course is asking questions to create a common understanding for homework assignments. a challenge I may anticipate is keeping up with the blog posts, or even focusing when reading long texts. Summary: Today in class we finished up our origin myths, I couldn't get much done because my Chromebook has a technical problem. Reflection:  I learned to prioritze getting my work done at home untill my chrombook issue is fixed, because I have a personal device that isn't allowed at school.

How did creating your own origin myth help you better understand why cultures use stories to explain the origins of people, places, traditions, or natural events?

Prompt Response:   Creating my origin myth made me realize that different cultures have different opinions and viewings of how humans, the earth, etc were created. While planning my myth, I used used a real life situation that can happen within daily life, and I used that to create a point of view of how the earth was created. I used a friendship that became into a feud to introduce a dramatic effect into the creation of earth. Summary: In class I heavily focused on planning and creating a strong base for my origin myth. I wanted a interesting story to keep readers invested. Reflection:  I enjoyed planning and took my time thinking about different point of views or situations to establish. 

Write about a meaningful object or place in your life that carries a story.

Prompt Response:   A meaningful place in my life that carries a story is my bedroom. My bedroom has always been a safe space for me. Somewhere I can go to when I'm down, happy, figuring things out, etc. My bedroom means a lot to me, and I rarely let people come into my space. Only family and my boyfriend have been in there. My bedroom is just a space where I can get everything I need to done. Summary: In class we did a paper assignment about an origin myth. Reflection:  I enjoyed reading about the origin myth, but I can't lie like the questions weren't difficult.  

Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths.

Prompt Response:  There was a time I walked my dog to Henderson park and not too far from the lake is a trail. On trail there are waterfalls and they were so satisfying to listen and look at. We sat and relax for 30 minutes then continued on the path. After walking for a while, we came up to the lake, it was dirty but peaceful. Soon after there was another waterfall this one was bigger with fishes inside. The water was clear and cold, we walked down and sat on the rock for aa while before continuing our journey home. Summary: Today we learned some basics about the indigenous people who originated here in the United States. They were very talented and held a variety of traits. Reflection:   I hope to enjoy this unit and stay invested about the beginning of our country, while also learning how it became how it is today.

3 Goals I would like to achieve this year.

Response: Main goal of the 3 I´ve chosen is keeping God at the center of everything I do. The reason I chose this as my first goal is because I strongly trust my religion and I believe that with God watching over me and as long as I engange with him consistantly he will guide me to where I need to be. The second goal I have for myself this year will be to correct my schedule and ensure that I have classes I will be able to keep up with during cheer. The last goal I have for myself will be to improve myselff mentally and physically. I´ve struggled with mental health a lot in my life and I plan to improve myself. Physically I have been doing a good job especially with cheer. I´ve been very consistent and achieving goals I´ve set for myself.
