Oct 24 - Describe a time you couldn’t stop laughing.

Response: A time when I couldn't stop laughing was when I was playing online with my friends around 2 years ago, and all of us were playing this game called Lethal Company. I was taking a leave of absence from school because of mental health issues and was admitted into a 3-month program. Besides the program, I didn't have anything else to do except play online games with my friends all day. That time in my life was one of the hardest challenges to overcome, and I don't think I could have done it without my friends online during that winter. One time while playing Lethal Company, we landed our ship on a moon that we were pretty familiar with, but the game had updated to include more monsters and events. Unfortunately, all 8 of us did not realize this fact until it was too late. Usually, we split up whenever we play this game, but for some reason, we were all bunched together in this really tiny hallway inside the facility. All of a sudden, we hear this snapping noise from behind us, like scissors are being violently closed and opened. Next thing we knew, this monster with barbershop scissors was chasing us and had already killed 2 of our guys. All of us burst out into laughter that was coated with fear as we ran away. At the end of the hall, there was a tall white creature with arms and legs the size of its whole body waiting for us. We ended up getting trapped between the two monsters, and all of us died. All 8 of us could not stop laughing at how ridiculous that series of events was, and it was the first real laugh that I had had in a long time. During this time, I had lost a lot of friends because I had to switch schools, but this moment right here reminded me that I still do have real friends who care about me and just want to hear me laugh. I even have this clip recorded on my computer too, so I can look back at it whenever I want.

Summary: Today, we worked on our one-pager.

Reflection: Laughter is a great way to express joy and delight with others, but it also helps us smile internally in our hearts.

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 ...
