Feb 23 Prompt: Describe how you spent your time, any activities, traditions, travel, hobbies, or moments that stood out to you.

Feb 24th Prompt: Today you created similes and metaphors that reflect your struggles, growth, and resilience. In a well-developed paragraph, reflect on the process. What did you learn about yourself while writing your figurative language?

 Response: I learned that it is much easier to create a simile, at least for me it is. Probably because it's much easier to make a sentence make sense when you say that you are like something, instead of saying you are something.

Feb 26 Prompt: Reflect on the simile and metaphor worksheet. Which topic challenged you the most when creating your figurative language, and why? In your response, explain what made that topic difficult and how you worked through the challenge (or what you might do differently next time).

 Response: I had the most trouble with finding my identity. Probably because I am still doing that. I had to think back to a really early experience and come up with figurative language for that.

Jan 20th Prompt: Much of this section focuses on Cheryl’s physical exhaustion and discomfort. Describe a moment when your body limited what you could do, and explain what that experience taught you about your mental strength.

 Response: When I first wanted to start taking competitive fights I had to increase my training intensity by a lot. I found that I was physically limited by my cardio a lot. I would gas out and I would struggle to even defend properly. I realized that no matter how strong I am mentally to keep going I needed to have a strong body.

Jan 16th Prompt: Write about a time you didn’t feel like yourself.

 Response: I didn't feel like myself when I lost my childhood dog. I grew up with that dog and had her as long as I had been born. We had to put her down when I got into my freshman year of high school. After she passed I didn't feel like myself at all as she was family.
