Aug 15 - 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.


Response: This course requires you to prove your strength in integrity and dedication by having daily prompts to complete every day. While they are simple, these daily prompts are there to prove your dedication to the course, which I have adapted my strategy and behavior to comply to these demands. I feel like this daily dedication to a prompt will prove to be a strength of mine throughout this course. One challenge I feel I will face will be meeting the deadlines of assignments, which I have had trouble with in the past.

Summary: Today, we worked on our cultural identity masks.

Reflection: I feel like this course will test my abilities to keep a consistent schedule and flow. I consider this a good thing though, as it will prepare me for more rigorous courses in the future.

Oct 21 - Describe your birth experience. What have your parents told you about the circumstances of your birth?

Response: My mother tells me this story every year on my birthday and cries without fail every time. I was born on May 10th, 2007, at Gwinnett Hospital around 1:00 pm. My mother had to have an emergency C-section because I was pretty sick from an infection that I had. The birth overall wasn't too bad for my mother and my dad, but my mom could tell something was wrong with me when her water broke in the bathtub, and the color was discolored and yellow. The infection I had left me in the NICU for 10 days straight, and my mom couldn't touch me or hold me until it was over. I was her first kid as well, so it was especially hard for her to wait those 10 days. According to her, I was the loudest baby in the whole hospital and would scream all day and night because I wanted my mother. One nurse had to pick me up and place me in another place at the NICU, and as she passed by my mom while I was screaming my head off, she whispered, "he's waking up all the other babies!!" ...

Sep 3 - Think about a moment when you challenged your parent(s)’ rules or expectations. How did you feel, and what was the outcome?

Response: The first thing I will say is that neither of my parents are strict in the slightest. I don't know any other kid who has this amount of freedom, but also love from their parents like my sister and I do. I'm allowed to stay out late (most days), I can have my girlfriend over whenever and wherever I want, I have free use of the car at all times, and ever since I turned 10, I have never had a bedtime. They're the type of parents to let me do as I please, as long as I am doing good in school and can stay responsible with the amount of freedom they give me. But even when I am slipping very badly in school (like last year and the year before), I've learned that they don't really care all too much if I am irresponsible with my choices and freedom. Maybe it's because I'm older now, and they don't feel like they need to worry about me too much anymore, but even with all this freedom, I still stay responsible and disciplined. And I do it not for them, bu...

Oct 9 - Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

Response: A talk I had with my therapist recently really helped me figure out where I want to go in my life. I was talking to my therapist about the colleges I was considering, whether I would go to a college in Georgia or overseas with my girlfriend. My therapist pointed out that when I was talking about going to college overseas, I seemed unsure, upset, and disinterested in the entire idea of it. However, my therapist pointed out that when I was talking about going to Georgia State, my eyes seemed to light up at the idea of living out my college years there. I feel like her words in this conversation helped me realize what kind of future I want and to start making important decisions based on what my mind and  my heart are telling me. Summary: Today, we presented our characterization posters in class and hung them up. We also finished the Fences play. Reflection: The Fences play has definitely had a lasting impact on me and my character because of the deep analysis and attention ...
