How do you find time to enjoy your day, even when you have a lot going on? Write about at least three specific things you do to enjoy small moments throughout your day.

There are a lot of times I've had a horrible day and still manage to do something with my time. I am the type to forget all about it and deal with it tomorrow. I know it's not the best efficient way to go but I am dumb enough to forget all the problems in the world and make everything all sunshine and rainbows for me. Of course, I deal with the aftermath. Realizing that all of it was just a fantasy in my mind. It feels like a big punch to the face. All of that is kinda of a last resort to me, another way I go for is calming myself down to music and completing things one at a time. It's okay if I can't do it all, I just like to feel like I tried and did the best i could. I also like putting my skills to work like drawing and making things out of trash. Or if I want to do something simple, I like to tidy my room up and clean around the house a bit. I hate being sad, It just makes me angry instead. I would do anything for a bit of happiness.

Write about a book, poem, or article you’ve read that made you feel something deeply—whether it was joy, anger, sadness, or curiosity. What was the text, and what moment or message stood out to you the most?

 A poem that made me feel sad was called "Poison Tree" by William Blake. The poem describes the reader's anger as growing into a tree that makes poisonous apples. The danger of bottling up your emotions and how doing so leads to a cycle of negativity and violence. I found the line " And I watered it in fears, Night and morning with my tears." intriguing to me. I'm not a big fan of poems, but I found it through a song while trying to search it up, and that was the first thing that came up. I'm curious most of the time, so I read it out of boredom. I then started getting more into it and reading meanings about it. It's the only poem I've been able to understand and relate to. I think it definitely made me open up a bit more to others and realize things. I never want to be the worst ever again.

Write about what you did over the Spring Break.

 The moment spring break began, my parents decided to take us to Savannah Beach. I don't like the beach, but I wanted to go out anyway to spend more time with my family and feel a bit productive. After the beach, we went on a tour bus to learn about Savannah's history and view the scenery. We didn't spend the night and went back home. After that, my best friend came over two times, and we had a lot of fun playing games and making fun of each other. The last three days I then played with my online friends and it was really funny and awesome. I enjoyed my spring break this and I'm really happy about it. There was not one moment I didn't enjoy it, maybe the beach was unsatisfying but I ate good food over there. If anything, food makes everything better, no matter what. 

Prompt: Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss.

 I remember when my dad would take us to the park with his bicycle. I'm not sure what it's called, but there would be a stroller attached to the back of the bike where me and my sister would be inside of. I loved being in it and remember getting upset when I couldn't fit in it anymore. I was jealous of my younger siblings for months. But eventually, I got over it and started learning to bike on my own. I never used training wheels, I just went for it on hopes and luck. I became good at it and whenever I got the chance, I would go really fast down a hill. It was the BEST part and my favorite. I miss all of it. I don't really have anyone to go out with me anymore. I want to be productive and have fun like that again but not alone.

Prompt: Based on the two informational passages that you've read thus far this week, write about how you will personally strive to avoid student loan debt?

 I will make sure to choose the right school and take advantage of things like scholarships. It's important to be careful in preparation and be responsible for your own budget when planning certain priorities. If I have extra dollars after paying off my loan, I could continue saving up or buy a few little things for myself. It's okay to enjoy yourself once in a while. But I don't really do much of anything, so I will decide to keep stacking up my money whenever for emergencies or necessities. 

Prompt: What is your American Dream? What do you like most about America?

I just hope people come to their senses. I hate everything about this place and it's probably the laughingstock around the world right now. People act like they don't live here and a lot has happened ever since Trump's first day at the office. I've always dreamed of making decent money and staying with my family, helping them whenever they need it. I don't have big dreams like that. I always had art in my mind but I never thought it would get me anywhere because I have a problem. I still think about it though and it lingers in my mind. I have hope for myself.

Write about a dream that felt real.

There were two times i had these really real dreams I couldn't tell if it was a dream or not. One was kinda disturbing for me. The other was calm and it felt like a heavy burden was lifted off my shoulders for a second. It was like dreaming with my eyes open and I could feel everything but could never move or maybe I just didn't want to. Its like I was aware I was in a dream.
