Everyone has burning questions about life. Mysteries we wonder about but don’t always have clear answers for. Think about your biggest questions about existence, purpose, or the world around you. Write a blog post where you share at least two of your most burning questions about life and explain why these questions matter to you.

 One of my burning questions about life is what happens when we die. I hope that we get reincarnated as whatever we want, and I would choose to be a housecat or a bird. I have thought about this a lot, and as a Christian, I like to believe that heaven means that we can do whatever will bring us joy, which for me is reincarnation. Another question I have is about how or why we exist. I do think that we were created by God, but I wonder what was the whole reason behind our creation. 

Today in class we planned and created our own origin myth.

I learned that origin Myths are actually fun to make because you can make up how different elements and parts of the world were created.

After reading “Out, Out—” by Robert Frost, reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome?

 I do not have a specific time when I was in a dangerous or stressful situation that needed my complete focus, but I did have a very important final last year that challenged my focus. I was taking a chemistry final, and my chemistry grade was right on the edge of an A. I knew I had to get an A on this final to get an A in the class because my dad had said that if I got any B's that I would be grounded. The final was very challenging and confusing, and what made it worse was that the person sitting next to be was tapping her pencil and her leg. I had a hard time focusing on my work, but I had to push through the distractions to finish the test in time. In class today we read a Frost poem, annotated it, and did discussion questions. I learned how to dig deeper into poems to uncover their meanings, and that a good poem has a life of its own.

Write about something that you wish you had more of

 Something I wish I had more of was energy. I feel like I'm always tired and it effects my ability to socialize, do my work, and stay focused. Whenever I have energy I am so much better at talking to people and it makes my day better. I try to go to sleep early but it never seems to be enough. I also do get a burst of energy at the end of the day which I wish was available throughout the day.  Today in class we worked on our poster for our Origin Myth. Today I learned about using Adobe Express and how to represent my story with symbols and pictures.

Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths

 I remember being a little kid and running around my big, green backyard. A certain day in the summer heat I came across an abandoned nest of baby birds. Being a young and explorative child, I took the lonely chicks into custody and cared for them as if I was their mother. Each day coming home from school, I would run through the house to my backyard where I kept the chicks to feed them their daily meal of fruits and seeds. I recall being completely submersed in caring for these babies, and I took full responsibility over their lives until one day they were nowhere to be found. Looking back, I am aware that anything could have happened to them, but at the time I was so proud to have raised baby birds to adulthood. In class we looked over and took notes about native American lit, and we reviewed vocabulary lesson 1. I learned the characteristics of Urban Legends, Myths, and Religion.
