  Prompt: In celebration of Earth Day, take a moment to reflect on the idea of creation. What do you believe is the most beautiful creation in the world and why? Describe it in detail and explain what makes it so awe-inspiring to you. The most beautiful creation in the world is the pyramids and the sphinx . I believe this because it was built in a time where the people didn't have all the tools and resources we have now. Just that makes it beautiful to show how much commitment it took to make not 1 but 2 pyramids and a sphinx. What makes it so awe-inspiring to me is the precision and details like the sphinx for example is over 66 feet tall and has lasted thousands of years.

  Prompt: Now that you have completed your sensory presentation, reflect on which of the five senses you value most. Identify the sense and explain why it holds the greatest importance to you. Out of the five senses the one I value the most is sight. The reason for this is that if you can't see,you won't be able to see the beautiful things around us everyday. It holds great importance to me because sight I feel is one of the biggest thing you need in life.

  Prompt: Easter Sunday was yesterday, a holiday full of traditions for many people. What holiday do you look forward to the most each year, and why is it your favorite? Share what you usually do to celebrate it and what makes it meaningful or fun for you." My favorite holiday by far is Christmas. The reason for this is because my family always gets together to celebrate. It's particularly meaningful to me because my family is always busy. What we do is all get together the night before Christmas and open gifts at 12:00 so that we can all have the next day off. 

  Prompt:  Choose one item from your "So Much Depends Upon" list and imagine it could talk.  What story would it tell about you? Write from the item’s point of view. I’m the Shrek blanket, the one his grandma gave him before she had to leave. I’ve been with him ever since, through every laugh, every tear, and every quiet moment in between. I’ve seen him grow, seen the way his face lights up when he’s happy and how he curls up when the world feels too heavy. No matter where he goes, I’m always there, carrying all the stories he doesn’t always share, but that I’ll always remember.

  Prompt: Write about a book, poem, or article you’ve read that made you feel something deeply whether it was joy, anger, sadness, or curiosity. What was the text, and what moment or message stood out to you the most? One book that made me feel deeply was The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. The story made me feel curious and a little sad because it shows how someone can struggle so much with the good and bad sides of themselves. The moment that stood out to me the most was when Dr. Jekyll realized he could no longer control Mr. Hyde. It showed how dangerous it can be when people try to hide parts of who they are instead of facing them.

  Prompt: Write about what you did  over the Spring Break.  Over spring break, I spent most of my time at my girlfriend’s house. We watched movies, cooked together, and just hung out. When I wasn’t with her, I was out with my friends, going to the mall and playing sports. It was a really fun and chill break.
