Prompt: Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

 A time when someone's words had a lasting impact on me is when I was at a camp for FCA. It was at camp highland and Coach Sims was giving a talk. He was speaking about some stories that he had about the Lord. Each story was very powerful and opened my eyes to the Lord. These words of Coach Sims' have had a large impact on me and played a huge role in my commitment to Jesus.

Summary: Today in class we finished our argumentative paragraphs. We also learned about formal and informal speech/writing.

Reflection: I learned how to better argue for a certain claim. I also bettered my understanding of formal and informal writing.

Prompt: Dickinson uses the metaphor of a funeral to describe her inner struggles. What metaphor would you use to describe your own mind?

 I would say that my mind is like a lens. My mind allows me to focus in on the things that are most important to me, without worrying about other things. I focus more on following the Lord than anything else. In this way my mind is just like a lens, I don't focus on things that are only going to hurt me. Summary: Today in class, we completed three common lits. It took a bit but wasn't too difficult. Reflection: I learned how to better analyze theme. Along with that, I also learned how to better apply my own life connections towards other stories and texts.

I have enjoyed this class a lot. I really like Mr. Reese’s teaching style and I have I have learned a lot from that.

One area where I feel I need support is in my vocab. Summary: I stayed home. Reflection: I learned how to better reflect through the blog post.
