09/22 AM LIT: The title “The Life You Save May Be Your Own” suggests that helping or protecting another person may also benefit you. Describe a time when helping someone else taught you something, changed your perspective, or made a positive difference in your own life.

 I really don’t have a story we’re helping someone changed my perspective, and the closest thing that get’s to that is when I was helping my dad fix the car. He is always trying to help us understand and view things differently. He thought me that there are somethings we can learn, somethings that we can do, and somethings we can’t fix nor understand and we can either ask someone else for help or just let it be. At first I didn’t understood where he was trying to get, but I guess that he was trying to say that there will be moments in my life where others might help me, moments where I will learn a lesson or two, and moments where I just have to let things go and let them happen.


Reflection: People will tell you what to do because they already experienced that and they are just giving you advice on how not to make the same mistake.

Summary: As I grow older, I slowly start realizing and understanding What my dad was trying to tell me.

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.
