Prompt: As we approach the end of the course, reflect on the texts, discussions, and concepts explored in Multicultural Literature. What is one significant lesson about culture or identity that has stood out to you? Explain why this lesson is meaningful and analyze how it connects to your own experiences or perspective.

This class has really opened my eyes about researching other people's culture and making less assumptions. I learned a lot about my classmates culture, their form of living, and Ive honestly learned that some stererotypes ive assumed before are just simply not true. One significant lesson was when we had to make a poster about our culture. My classmates were able to talk about their cultures as I was able to talk about mine.

Describe a real moment in your life that felt like the beginning of a powerful story. Tell what happened, and why it felt like a turning point in your life? Feb 2

I got kicked out of the house when I was in middle school. I was thinking in my head I was gon be a rags to riches story. Man this life thing really not sweet bro. I went back home my mom told me that I was wrong. in that moment I realized that I needed a change in my life and I had to find a way to make money. I would really do anything around this time to make some cash. I would rake leaves I would cut bushes, I would be a helper for a plumber, I helped people with carrying groceries and throwing their trash. But this time in my life really made me realize I needed to do something, there was no way I could be lazy at home and do nothing.

 Calm like the Ocean Happy like a dog Im way to blessed to be stuck in a Fog  All honesty, I hate poems. This poem really explains my life right now because I really am doing great. I cant complain about anything and God has really blessed me. I'm thankful for everything Ive got and I know better things are coming. Its been real calm for me and I hope it continues like that, but if it don't, then I just have to push through,

Prompt: When you are in a mood that you do not like, what are some strategies that you use to change your mood? Jan 28

 I work. Whenever Im in a bad mood I just go to work and try to distract myself. On those days I don't work I love to do wood work and to work on my car while I listen to music. I really like listening to Lauryn Hill and Boosie. The wood work I do is Building desks, vanity's, and just furniture is a really fun hobby for myself. I like working on my car and fixing it up myself. Sometimes the YouTube videos confused me and a 1 hour job turns into a whole afternoon those days make my mood worse.

Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss. Jan 24

 I miss being able to play Legos with my cousin. I can still play Legos with him but we're both older now and it ain't the same to how it was. He had a bigger imagination and everything felt a lot more real. I miss the sleep overs I had at his house and the movies we would watch together.

Prompt: Reflect on a time when you or someone you know had to choose between fitting in and staying true to their identity; what was gained or lost in that experience? Jan 21

 There's a guy I know at Lakeside, growing up with this guy he acted just like any of us. By us I'ma say Hispanic people, he'd talk Spanish to us he'd eat the same food as us and he had us as friends. I think having a diverse friend group is important. This guy however genuinely just switched up and thought it was embarrassing to be Hispanic in middle school. His favorite artist went from Bad bunny to Taylor swift and he replaced Me and Jose with Connor and Brad. I even noticed he completely changed his accent from ours to theirs. He doesn't even want to claim his culture no more. Just is a little sad that he fit in with another group rather than just befriending them and staying real with himself.
