Hair can be a powerful way people express who they are and where they come from. Think about your own hair, your style, texture, or how you choose to wear it. How does your hair connect to your culture or your identity? Describe a moment when your hair made you feel proud, uncomfortable, or misunderstood, and explain why.

 Prompt Response: I typically get a mullet style haircut when I go to my barber. More hair in the back, a taper fade on the sides, and medium length on top. Mullets came back as a recent trend over the past couple of years, especially in the Mexican community. In Mexican culture and media mullets are very common as well. The first time I got a mullet style haircut I loved it after it grew out into a length I preferred. I would take pictures all the time and I felt proud of my haircut.

Write about something that you believed as a child.

 Prompt Response:  Something I believed as a child was that everyone would be nice. Growing up I’ve seen that not everyone is nice to others and some people feel entitled to everything. Working in fast food has also shown how difficult some people are even if you greet them with friendliness. I’ve come to realize there are some people that don’t treat others kindly and in some cases those people are just going through things others don’t know about.   Summary:Today in class we read a poem. Reflection: The poem was about dreams and how they can either be accomplished or never be fulfilled. Doing the worksheet afterwards laid out an idea of what my dream was and how I’m planning on making sure my dream is accomplished.

Write about something you’ve always been curious about.

 Prompt:  I’ve always been curious about historical and government corruption. I think this curiosity stems from world history and political history but it sure is something I think about every now and then. Currently many people believe for example that the U.S is falling into corruption. Our current president has caused many to retaliate his actions and administration. But it’s not just the U.S that has government corruption other countries in Africa also have major corruption issues. My main curiosity is to find or know where it all started and who is responsible for it (historically wise). Many say it’s the “Deep State” others say it’s the “Illuminati” who ever or what ever it is I’d like to know.     Summary: Today in class we finished our characterization poster.  Reflection: Finishing the poster wasn’t too difficult. I did struggle a bit on the analysis of Rose’s role in the play.

After hearing your classmates’ storymap presentations, choose one classmate’s story that stood out to you. Write about what you liked or learned from their journey and explain why it was meaningful to you.

 Prompt Response: I really enjoyed Roxxane's story map. It had an interesting and serious tone to it. The interesting part was the curse that runs in her family. I was surprised and shocked to hear that the majority of the deaths in her family have been all males. That was very shocking. I did like how for some parts of her story map it got serious. The situation with her mom pressuring Roxxane to follow in her footsteps and become a Jehovah's Witness was very relatable. It was relatable in a sense of knowing how it feels to be pressured to follow your parents foot steps in something you don't agree with or want to do.     Summary: Today in class we presented our story map and scored our classmates' story maps.  Reflection: Seeing my classmates present their story maps really showed how different people had it growing up and how different everyone's experiences were. And it gave me an opportunity to learn more about my classmates.
