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 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.

I think for a Nine year old me, that's exactly what I needed to hear, because I walked right into the operation room after that, and chose my anesthesia flavor. I don't remember muc...

4/23/25 Prompt: Write about what you remember or have been told about the day you were born. What were the emotions or events surrounding it? Do you relate more to "Infant Joy" or "Infant Sorrow"?

Prompt: Write about what you remember or have been told about the day you were born. What were the emotions or events surrounding it? Do you relate more to "Infant Joy" or "Infant Sorrow"? I've heard that my Mother always told others that she didn't want children. My Mother told me that she thought that children would limit her freedom and ability to travel, because she loved to travel. However, as she got older her perspective changed. She told me that when I was born, she didn't feel trapped, rather, she felt joy. I've been told that I didn't smile until I was two or three. I would just watch, as my Mother put it. I wasn't a difficult child, or a sorrowful child either. So I think I relate more to "Infant Joy." I don't think the world is something to fear or cry about. It can be hard, sure, but it's often more beautiful and worth living more than not.
