Everyone has burning questions about life. Mysteries we wonder about but don’t always have clear answers for. Think about your biggest questions about existence, purpose, or the world around you. Write a blog post where you share at least two of your most burning questions about life and explain why these questions matter to you.

Prompt: when I think about life one of the biggest things that I question is what is the purpose that humans were made for. Humans have accomplished so many things over the thousands and thousands of years that they have been on this planet but there was a specific reason that humans did evolve from the Homo sapiens that they previously were. I always question why did humans evolve to the current form that we are in and what was the purpose that we have in this form. This also ties into what is the purpose that I have on this planet and what I need to do to make the world a better place.

Reflection: today we read a short story about even though everyone looks different we are all equal. 

Summary: i think that today's lesson was a very good lesson because we learned more about how people feel when they are treated unequally even though they see the world around them as equal to them. It definitely Amplifies a person's knowledge about what is important in life and why it's important to treat others as equals.

Discuss something meaningful or memorable you experienced over the break, or reflect on what you felt most thankful for during that time.

 prompt: Over the break I went to help volunteer at a local food shelter. Doing this was something that I am regularly doing this year, but I hadn't done it over Thanksgiving break before. The time at which I helped out was the day before Thanksgiving so it was super busy. Doing this was super memorable because I was able to help the people in my community get the food that they need to live. This made me feel so thankful for the resources I already have that allow for me to have food, but also I felt really thankful that places like the food shelter exist to help people.  Summary: Today we read letters 46-50 in the book.  Reflection: I think that it is really important to realize what you are thankful for in life. If you spend some time reflecting on what is good in your life and what you should be thankful for, it allows you to realize the good in your life and the things that are good for you.

As the first semester comes to an end, take time to reflect on your learning and growth in this course. In a well-developed response, explain what you enjoyed most about the class, identify the project or assignment you found most engaging, and discuss which aspect of the course you connected with the most (such as poetry, fiction, writing, or discussion). Finally, reflect on one area where you feel you need additional support or improvement as we move into the spring semester.

 Prompt: The thing that I most enjoyed about the class was the group projects that we got to do. I loved the people that I worked with in those projects and it allowed for me to spend time with them in the class which made it so much fun. Overall I don't think that there is really an area that I need help with. The assignments in the class were always something that I could manage, the only thing that I needed help with was making sure that I did the assignments, but I have already communicated a strategy with my friends to help make sure that I am on top of my assignments.  Summary: Today I slept in and I was able to finish all of the work I had to do for the rest of the semester.  Reflection: Now that we are at the end of the year it is important to look back and see all of the things that went well and didn't go well in the semester to help you communicate with your teachers for next year to see if they can help you make the year a better one!

In "The Lamb" and "The Tyger", both poems suggest that beauty and danger can come from the same source. Describe a time when something or someone you admired also scared or challenged you. How did that experience change the way you see the world or the idea of “goodness”?

 Prompt: I think that something that I admire but also scares me is people who are able to perform in public. I have wanted to perform anything in public for a long time but I am always worried about getting made fun of or messing up. Seeing people who are able to perform in public is inspiring to me but it also scares me because I am worried about them messing up and embarrassing themselves. This changed the way I see goodness because it showed me that people are able to be confident even though it is really scary to perform.  Summary: Today we worked on writing our own pagers.  Reflection: I think that it is important to understand that whatever created the good in this world also created evil to balance everything. Balance is super important and without it everything wouldn't run.
