12. Write about a gift that was not well received

 I honestly don't think I've received a gift in the wrong way, but I have received gifts I didn't really want. Christmas of 2016 was rough, very rough. My household was going through a very hard time. Mom was less of a car and couldn't really provide for us as she wished so she had to make do when the holidays came. On Christmas the gifts we were given were not what we expected nor wanted, or at least that was the case for me. The clothes I got were from Walmart and the shoes I got were not something I'd myself ask for or wear if it was in my closet. Although I didn't like the gifts and couldn't hide the fact that I didn't like them, I kept an open eye that my mama did the best she could for us and that she did all she could that day.

Bell ringer 8/29

Based on the video, I think the probability of life outside of earth is high, there’s no way earth is the only planet that has life on it. My reaction to seeing the earth from the surface of mars was normal, it looked cool and interesting.

Hearing the black hole did make me think though, like how do we know if we’re going to meet it or what exactly happens inside?.. This puts my life in a perspective in a way of its way much more space and larger out there, and from another planet or from space in general, we’re small.

8. Write about what you used to know how to do

 Something I used to know how to do is a front flip when I was younger. Now when I try and flip it isn't as easy as it used to be compared to when I was in my earlier years. Back then I could flip with no problem, barrel roll with no problem and even hit a cartwheel with no problem but now I just throw my body and land wrong. Falling on my head, neck and back prevents me from trying again.

Reflection 9/9

 Today in class we read a story about a father having to answer to his daughter the question of killing someone, in which he told her no. He was only asked this due to his writings and what she knows about him as her father. Also in the story we read how he indeed did kill someone while serving, but acted out of fear and treated the person and situation as a non factor after he killed him.
