Three goals that I want to achieve this year

 Three goals that I want to achieve this year are getting my license, minimizing how much I procrastinate, and creating new friendships. To begin, I would like to get my license as I want to be able to drive to school instead of riding the bus since it's always very crowded. Additionally, I want to avoid procrastinating as I always get overwhelmed with school work when I do and I want junior year to go as smoothly as possible. Finally, I want to create new friendships as I really want to branch out to new people this year as sometimes the most unexpected friendships can end up being the best ones. I'm going to push myself to reach these goals as they're things that I think could make this year a lot easier on me.

How has living in or around Atlanta influenced the way you see your community, culture, or identity? If you were speaking to someone unfamiliar with Atlanta, what would you want them to understand about your community?

 Prompt Response: Living around Atlanta has influenced the way I see my community, culture, and identity as it's allowed me to meet people from various different backgrounds as well as people who have the same background that I do. By meeting people who share my background of being a Mexican American child, I've connected more to my culture and it's helped me develop who I am as a person and the things that I like such as my music.  If I was speaking to someone unfamiliar with Atlanta, I would want them to understand how diverse it is. Whether it's somewhere like Buford Highway, that has different restaurants that represent various cultures, or even Lakeside High School that has people from all different types of backgrounds, you'll always see different types of people. Anywhere that you turn, you'll see a different type of person which is incredible.  Summary: Today in class we practiced rhetorical situation by looking at Keisha Lance Bottom's "Go Home...

As you grow older and face new experiences, what issue or topic do you think you'll have to stand up and debate most often, whether with friends, family, or society?

 Prompt: One topic that I think I'll have to stand up and debate most often is immigration in the United States. This topic has become very controversial in the past few years and it's very important to me as my parents are immigrants. In school, I've met people with different viewpoints and there's no doubt that I'll continue meeting people who have different opinions on the topic which is why I believe that it's something I'll have to debate about often. Growing up, I've seen and heard the stories of my parents, family, and friends regarding immigration and why they had to make certain sacrifices. I've also done large amounts of research on the topic as I used it as it was one of my topics during AP Seminar last year. This leads me to believe it's something I'm fairly educated on and could debate about, which I'll definitely have to do as the topic continues to be talked about and argued over.  Summary: Today in class we took notes abou...

Describe one thing that makes you different from other people.

 Prompt Response: One thing that makes me different from other people is my compassion. More times than I could count, I've been in a situation where I've felt alone and sad and I've learned the feeling all too well when it feels like you only have yourself. Among my friends, I've been able to notice how they feel the same way and I always try to go out of my way to make sure that they don't feel alone when they need something. Even if I'm going through something, I always like wanting to help them through things because I know how much that can make the difference. This goes not only for friends, but also people who have been part of my life before. Even if they were the reason we stopped talking, I feel compassion towards them when I hear they're going through something because at some point, they were still a big part of my life and I think that sets me aside from a lot of people. I'm not saying that all people nowadays don't care about others...
