Prompt: 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?

Response:

 A moment in my life that felt like the beginning of a powerful story was when I started to get better and more confident in lacrosse. For my whole life, I was very scared and unconfident in a lot of aspects of my life; lacrosse was a big part of this. It affected how I played and made me a scared and hesitant player. When I started to break through those mental blocks and get more confident and not scared to get hit when playing, it helped so much. Not only in lacrosse but all aspects of my life, I had a newfound confidence and was no longer scared to try new things and get out of my comfort zone.

Summary:

 Gaining confidence in lacrosse gave me confidence in all aspects of my life and helped me to achieve things I never thought I could.

Reflection: 

I think that my lack of confidence in my life stems from never trying new things out of my comfort zone as a kid. I had strong mental blocks preventing me from doing so in the future, and when I broke those down in lacrosse, they also broke in other aspects of life.

Prompt: Today, you learned how to complete a rhetorical analysis planning guide step by step, from identifying the rhetorical situation to analyzing devices and effects. Reflect on one step of the rhetorical analysis process that helped you understand the process more clearly. Explain what you learned during that step and how it improved your ability to analyze a speaker’s message.

Prompt Response: One step that helped me understand rhetorical analysis better was identifying the rhetorical situation. Breaking it down into speaker, audience, purpose, and context made the message easier to understand. It helped me see why the speaker chose certain words and ideas. Summary: Identifying the rhetorical situation made the analysis process clearer and more organized. Reflection: This step improved my ability to analyze a speaker’s message because I wasn’t just guessing what it meant. I could connect the message to who it was meant for and why it was said. That made my analysis more accurate and easier to explain.

 I spent my break hanging out with my friends a lot. I spent almost every day with my friends, especially M.E.
