Write about an object that holds sentimental value and why it’s important to you.

 An object that holds sentimental value to me is the dog bed of my old dog that passed away. This was a pet I was quite close to and that had died suddenly. He had gotten a disease that was common in his breed and I remember sitting there at the Animal ER with him as he had gotten very sick over the course of a couple of days. In the end, the vets couldn't do much so they advised us to euthanize him and so we did. This dog bed is one of the few things we have left to remind us of him. And that's why it's quite important to me.

What is the most challenging part of writing an essay for you? Is it brainstorming, organizing ideas, writing a strong thesis, or something else? How do you plan to overcome this challenge?

 The most challenging part of writing an essay for me is the brainstorming. I struggle to actually start the writing process as I often don't have much of an idea to go off. To work on this, I will use various brainstorming methods to help with my creativity. One of the methods I will use is the cluster diagram, which we learned how to use and incorporate in class. Another method I will use to brainstorm will be mind mapping, and with these couple of methods I will improve my brainstorming skills in preparation for this upcoming essay.

She refused to buy it for me as I already had "too many" toys. A stranger was standing by and overheard our argument. He then decided to tell my mom he'd buy it for me, and to this day, I still reminisce that moment. A reminder of the kindness that exists in this world. Today we read and learned about colorism in India. I learned that colorism that similar to racism, mostly synonymous, is discrimination against people of a dark skin tone. Not only does this affect people socially, but economically as they are often denied job opportunities such as in Bollywood, where all the actors have "fair skin".

 Today we read Act One Scene Four of "Fences". We learned about Troy's childhood and the challenges he encountered with his mother leaving when he was young, and himself having to leave his father when he was fourteen. This story took a dark turn that I was not expecting, but it fits in and makes sense to how and why Troy is the way he is. I really hope they cancel school the next couple of days so I can relax at home.
