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.

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...

What do you think is the hardest part of writing an informational essay—brainstorming the topic, organizing your ideas, finding evidence, or something else? Write one paragraph about the part you struggle with most and how you might overcome it.

One of the hardest parts of writing an informational essay for me is organizing my ideas. After brainstorming, I often have a lot of thoughts and information, but structuring them in a logical and coherent way can be challenging. Sometimes, I struggle with deciding which points should come first and how to transition smoothly between them. To overcome this, I find it helpful to create an outline before I start writing. Mapping out my main points and arranging them in a structured order helps me stay focused and ensures that my essay flows logically. Additionally, using transition words and reviewing my work for clarity can help strengthen the overall organization.
