Am lit: With 4.5-week grades posting on September 2, reflect on your experience in American Literature so far. What has been going well for you, what has been challenging, and what is one thing you need to improve moving forward?

 Well, one thing that has been going absolutely great for me. Has to be the fact that I’m getting to normal people and see my friends again after a whole year. One thing that has been challenging, has to be the fact that I have a lot of homework and that I had to give up my job to graduate early, but that’s OK. Lastly, something that I probably have to improve has to be probably getting my homework or the working class done quicker even if there’s you know pretty sure I’m amount of time that should probably be improving that the fact of doing homework more quickly.

Reflection: Being an early graduate makes it a bit difficult, but  sometimes it gets to be fun. Because you get to know people from a whole another grade from you and I mean, It’s hard to make senior friends, but I guess I’ll be able to be know most of them.

Summary: it’s been great so far and I think that this school year is going to be the best and at the same time the hardest year.

AM LIT: Talk about a time when you had to write a poem, whether it was for an assignment, event, or special occasion. What was the writing process like for you, and were you proud of the finished product?

Reading it aloud at the gathering was nerve-wracking, but seeing my friend’s eyes well up (and hearing a few chuckles at the inside jokes) made all the wrestling with words completely worth it. It taught me that poetry isn't about using the biggest or most sophisticated words; it’s just about capturing a genuine human emotion and holding it still for a moment. Summary:  The story tracks the creation of a  free-verse farewell poem  written for a relocating friend. It shows the shift from a forced rhyming structure to an honest, memory-driven piece. The final reading successfully connected with the audience by prioritizing  genuine emotion over perfection . Reflection:  This process proves that  authenticity matters more than rigid rules  in creative writing. Letting go of a strict poetic structure allowed for a much deeper, more relatable human connection. Ultimately, the piece succeeded because it focused on making someone feel  truly seen and val...

MULTI LIT: Today, we started our discussion about culture and food. What is one dish from your culture that is a must-have as a representation of your culture? Identify the dish and explain what it is and why it is significant.

For my culture dish I choose  paella , which is this huge rice dish from Valencia, Spain.  It’s basically made with saffron rice and traditionally cooked outside over an open fire in a massive flat pan called a paellera. It’s a perfect symbol for us because it’s historic and also represents how our culture is all about family and sharing. Summary: Paella actually started out as just a cheap, basic lunch for farmers who threw in whatever they had like short-grain rice, chicken, rabbit, and veggies. Everything cooks together in one pan until the rice turns bright yellow from the saffron. Reflection: I chose  paella  because it’s honestly way more than just a random meal, it’s like a whole Sunday event for families kinda like a cook-out here in America. Everyone just hangs out and catches up for hours while it cooks, and then you usually eat it right out of the pan together. It just makes me feel really connected to my roots.
