9/3/24

 We finished up our story maps today. Also, the test was moved to Friday, which was quite the boon. I do not really know how to answer all the questions for the story map. For instance, the one asking for a time you have stood up for your identity against family or social expectations, and I do not recall a time when I have done that. The Monday off was a welcome rest from school, and I didn't really do anything to celebrate labor day.

Prompt: Write about a conversation that changed you. Dec 2

A conversation that changed me was probably talking to my doctor the day my eye was taken. It was a couple days before Christmas when I was told that my cancer had come back, and my parents had to make the decision of removing or keeping my eye. To keep it meant to have the risk of my cancer escaping the eye, and into my brain, or going into other parts of my body. This was risky, and all to keep an eye that at that point didn't work anymore. Before every treatment, my doctor would always encourage me to ask questions. That's how I knew exactly how my treatments worked and such. But this time, I remember I asked, "Are you going to take my eye out?"

Prompt: Write about what you did over the Spring Break. Apr 21

Prompt: Write about what you did over the Spring Break.    Over the spring break, I went to a weekend camp for kids with cancer with my Mom, cousins ,and Aunt. It was from Friday to Sunday, but other than that I mostly slept during the break. However, My birthday happened on the break, so my father took me to go buy antique books. Then me and a friend went to a bunch of abandoned structures to take pictures, and we ended the night off by going to McDonalds to get the Minecraft movie meal. It was definitely better than the last break, because it wasn't as stressful.

Prompt: Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss.  Something that I've outgrown but will probably still miss is Halloween. More specifically trick or treating. It's probably the best holiday for kids for two reasons: one, you get to dress up as something you like and two you get FREE candy. You basically never get anything for free, but on Halloween kids get candy just for knocking on peoples doors. While you can dispute that you've got to walk for that candy, that's basically the best part. What's better than running around AT NIGHT with your friends? When you're a child, that type of freedom is crazy and I'd like to experience that for the first time again.
