In 2–3 well-developed sentences, reflect on how you spent your Holiday Break. Then, identify four personal you would like to achieve this year and briefly explain why each goal is important to you (Copy and paste your completed response from Writable into your blog).

Prompt Response: I spent this Holiday Break completing AP Calculus BC homework and AP Biology notes. I also slept in and took naps throughout the day. One day I worked at a wedding where I watched kids. The first goal I have this year is getting straight A's in all of my classes. This is important because getting straight A's will allow me to maintain a high GPA, which will make me a better student for college. To maintain straight A's in all of my classes, I will complete all of my assignments on time and study for all of my tests and quizzes several days in advance. By May 2026, I will graduate high school without ever receiving a grade below an A. My second goal I want to achieve is getting a job. It is important for me to get a job because this will foster independence in me and lead me to become more responsible. To get a job, I will create a resume and apply to several jobs. I will follow up with workplaces that are hiring. By June 2026, I plan to be working in a stable position. The third goal I have this year is finding a place to live while at college. It is important for me to figure out my living arrangements in college because otherwise, I may not attend university. If I cannot find a place to live, UGA may not allow me to attend school because of its rules on freshmen living on campus. I will find a place to live by keeping up with my emails from UGA's housing program. I will also discuss my dorm options with my parents and future roommate. I will also discuss the finances with my parents and contact the school if there are any issues. By May 2026, I should have my housing registration for the upcoming college semester. My last goal this year is to make more time to spend with family. It is important to stay in touch with family after attending college because it can strengthen bonds and it can help family members' mental health. I will make time to meet up with family by visiting home at least once a month. I will also call and text them often to confirm plans and just chat with them. In November 2026, I will still have a strong and healthy relationship with my parents. 


Summary: We worked on our writable assignment. 


Reflection: I learned that there are new rules for leaving the class in school now. I will use this information to plan my breaks reasonably.

Write about something you’ve always been curious about.

Prompt Response: I've always been really into dinosaurs and extinct animals, and I wondered why they went extinct. If they were perfect forms of their species, then why would they die off? I always really liked them and I wondered what they actually looked like compared to their reconstructions. I still like learning more about dinosaurs and extinct animals.  Summary: We worked on our character posters. Reflection: I learned about how Lyons represents certain aspects of family.

Recall a specific incident when someone’s words offended you. Describe what was said, how it made you feel, and what actions you took in response. Reflect on whether your response helped resolve the situation or changed how you think about communication.

Prompt Response: Once, I made a comment on how I hoped unripe avocado wouldn't give us a stomach ache, and a girl I knew said that it seemed as though I had really never suffered in my life. That statement blew me away because she made it seem like her life had been full of struggles when I knew it hadn't. It made me disrespected because she had always made comments on how I was "so rich" when she wasn't shy about spending money. I didn't say a single thing and just laughed it off. That response didn't really resolve it, but it made me realize that people will by hypocrites about the stupidest things. Summary: We discussed offensive words and their impact on people's lives. Reflection: I realized that certain words will affect you more depending on who says them. I will think about how my words will make people feel and make sure not to offend them.

Reflect on a time when you discovered a new perspective that completely changed how you viewed a person, group, or place. How did your previous “single story” shape your thoughts or actions?

Prompt Response: I had initially thought that my friend was really nice and kind to others. Then a few months later, I found out that he was a fake hypocrite that talks about people behind their backs. He had been speaking badly about me and my best friend to our friends. When I found out, I realized that just because he was nice to me in person, it didn't mean he actually liked me.
