Describe a real moment in your life that felt like the beginning of a powerful story. Tell what happened, and why it felt like a turning point in your life?

  Prompt Response:  I think a moment that was a turning point in my life was when I came to high school as a freshmen. This is because I knew I had to keep my grades up because if it weren´t for them I would not pass the grade. I knew nothing would be like when I was in middle school because I had to wake up a little more early and I would have a lot more responsibilities. Even though it has been hard I have managed it well and think I will have good grades and graduate in the future. I know there will be hard times in my life but I think the transition from  middle school to high school was a big turning point in my life currently.

Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss.

  Prompt Response:  Something I have outgrown but I still miss are dolls. I remember when I was a lot smaller my parents used to love buying me and my sister dolls we would get very excited. When I was smaller my house burned down and all my dolls were burned. After that day my parents never bought us a doll because we were already old. Dolls are something I have never forgotten and when I see them in the store I feel like a little girl again and want to buy one but I know I have outgrown them. Even though I can ´ t play with them anymore they are part of my childhood and I will always have memories. Summary: Even though we sometimes outgrow things there is nothing bad with wanting to go back to when you would do those things. Reflection:  Always try to  do things that you outgrow because you won´t only bring back memories but you will also enjoy doing it again.

  Prompt Response:  I think the hardest part of an informational essay is brainstorming. This is because it is hard to create ideas and determine what is a good topic to write/type 5 paragraphs about.

Write a blog post exploring your thoughts on near-death experiences and what they might reveal about life after death. Do you think these experiences are real, spiritual, scientific, or something else? Refer to details from the article and connect them to your own ideas or beliefs.

  Prompt Response:  I think near death experiences may be peaceful and I say this because I have always believed the moment you die there is no pain, there is no more suffering, and no more feelings. I also believe people may die and come back from death because they feel the need to do or fix something that they have done wrong in this life probably like a problem with someone or because they don´t want to leave their families behind. Near death are experiences little people will tell us. Hopefully doctors will understand why it happens one day and why they come back from being dead. I don´t personally believe it is something that has to do with religion because it has been people with different religions that this has happened to. Summary: We read 2 articles on near death experiences. Reflection:  It is a complete mystery on why or how it happens but I believe it has nothing to do with religion.
