A moment of unexpected kindness (Block Day)

 A moment of unexpected kindness was when I bought snacks in the store with my mom. This man came up right behind me and bought all of my snacks. I was so happy that I didn't have to spend my money and I knew that God helped me. One time I did it was when a group of boys wanted to get on this ride with his family but he couldn't jump in line with them, so I let him and his family through and they said thank you. I was so happy that I did something in life and felt different. But today in class we finished the back of the paper "Out Out", and when we got done we had to do another poem by Robert Frost called "Nothing Gold Can Stay". It is about a girl who is crying because her favorite season fall is leaving. It shows me that you can want anything but it can get taken from you any day. Now we have to do a project about the new story called "Nothing Gold Can Stay".

We discussed achieving your dream. Think of someone who has already achieved a similar dream. What lessons can you learn from their journey?

 My uncle-in-law, Greg McCoy. Some things I can learn are risk-taking, learning from his mistakes, networking, and unwavering commitment to his goals. I can learn how he studies for the test, the experience, and the different things you can do in the military. Today in class we read a Poem by Langston Hughes. It talks about dreams and how to achieve them. It taught me that you don't wait until you get old, start doing it at a young age. Have plan Bs rather than just chasing the same goal if you don't like it.

Today’s article discussed how more people are choosing to live in the suburbs rather than in the city. When you become an adult, which lifestyle do you think you would prefer—city life or suburban life? Choose one and explain your reasons clearly.

When I become an adult, I would prefer to live in the suburbs rather than the city. While city life has many exciting opportunities, I believe suburban life offers a better balance of affordability, space, and peace, which are important for a comfortable and stable lifestyle. One of the biggest advantages of suburban life is having more space. In the suburbs, homes are larger, and many have backyards, which would provide a better environment for relaxation and possibly raising a family in the future. Unlike the city, where apartments can feel cramped, suburban living allows for more personal space and privacy. We had to get on Commonlit and do some work and our blog post. But it shows me that when you grow up you are going to move and you have to make sure that you are ready to make that plan.

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."

The holiday I look forward to most each year is Thanksgiving. There’s something about it that feels grounding, like a pause button in the middle of all the chaos. It’s not about presents or decorations; it’s about people, food, and presence. That’s what makes it my favorite. Every year, my family gathers at my grandmother’s house. The kitchen fills with the smells of roasted turkey, sweet potatoes, and her famous homemade rolls. We all pitch in — chopping vegetables, setting the table, sneaking bites of pie filling when we think no one’s looking. The TV hums in the background with the Macy’s parade or football, but the real show is the laughter and storytelling that happens in the dining room. Before we eat, we go around the table and say what we’re thankful for. It might sound cheesy, but those moments are the most honest of the year. We speak from the heart. Sometimes we cry. Sometimes we laugh until our stomachs hurt. And somehow, no matter what’s been hard that year, it all feels a...
