Write about a time when your failure was necessary for your growth. Examples of failures could be failing a major exam, failure to make a team, failure in a relationship, etc

Prompt Response: A time where I think failure was necessary for my growth was when I was looking for a job. I remember looking for jobs in small stores and applying online and no one wanted to hire me. My sister at the time was working at Zaxbys she told me that she could get me hired there I said no because I really wanted to work somewhere else. At the end of the day someone else hired me but they never called me in for a shift so then I finally accepted my sister's offer for working at Zaxbys. After starting to work there I felt comfortable and they gave me a very good pay. Now I really enjoy working there it isn't a lot of stress and I get enough money to buy myself stuff and help my mother out.

Summary: Sometimes it is okay to fail in order to get something better.

Reflection: In order to thrive you have to fail at least once.

What is the most important aspect of your identiy? Tell what it is and why

Prompt Response:  I think the most important aspect of my identity is my culture. I think my culture is important because it is tied to my beliefs even though everyone's beliefs are different I think culture is a big part of your identity because it can define what food, clothes, and behaviors you like. Culture is something big because it can impact what you like what you eat and how you behave and also it can impact how you talk because there is a lot of languages that is why people are so different from one another. Summary: We had to make a mask based on our culture but I was not in class today Reflection:  I was not in class today.

Describe a time when you had to speak in front of an audience. What were your fears? How did you handle them? What advice would you give to someone struggling with stage fright?

Prompt Response:   When you start going to school there will always be times where you have to present your project, talk about your weekend , break, or something you have done, or even debate in front of an audience. This year in my 5th period class we were practicing giving speeches I started to get a lot better but when it was time to read them in front of the audience I got extremely nervous. Something that helped me a lot during this was to lightly stab my pencil in my leg this was because I would notice I would concentrate more on the pencil than on getting nervous. Something I would recommend to someone talking in front of people would be to stay calm and remember to take your time so that the audience understands you and enjoys your presentation.  Summary: I was not in class but I think we took notes. Reflection:   If you  are about to present in front of an audience always remember to stay calm, breath, and enjoy what you are doing.

Describe a time when someone offended you with their words.

Prompt Response:  There has been many times when someone has offended me but the worst time was when I had gone to work to a women's house ( My job was cleaning her house) and I took some time to eat an apple because I was too tired. The women then came and started screaming at me because I was not done cleaning and I was already eating and taking a break. I tried to explain to her that I was just eating an apple and that then I would get back to cleaning her house. The women didn't seem to care and she offended me saying I was a lazy Mexican girl and she didn't know why I didn't go back  to my country. I responded back by saying I was an American Citizen and that I would not be here if her house was clean and she wasn't such a messy person. After I had responded to her I left her house half clean because I didn't think I should be there just letting her offend me. Summary:I am not sure what we did today because I was not there Reflection:  Don't let anyone ...
