Describe a time you felt completely lost.

Prompt Response: I felt completely lost when I lost my grandfather. Back in 2020, my grandfather died abruptly and it was the first time I had ever experienced grief. I have no idea to handle by best friend being gone forever. This was the first time I felt alone and lost with my feelings. I remember being so sad to the point where I didn't even want to get out of bed in the morning times. After a couple of months I started to be okay with the fact that I knew he was living in no pain up in heaven. That was the first time I had ever experienced feeling completely lost. 

Summary: Today in class we did an assignment that deepened our understanding of Claims of Value. 

Reflection: I deepened my understanding of Claims of Value which helped me to understand that topic better. I really enjoyed the assignment we did today.

Describe something you will never fully understand.

Prompt Response: Something that I will never understand is boys. The past two years, I have dated a boy and through that, I have learned so many different things about the way that boys think and act. No boy is the same, but I have realized that the way boys and girls think is so alike, yet also so different. My ex and I just recently broke up, and I will never fully understand his thought process or his actions, no matter how much I think about everything.  Summary: Today in class, we looked at a previous AP Exam argumentative essay response prompt and created claims that would answer the prompt.  Reflection: I really enjoyed what we worked on in class today. It was definitely challenging and nothing like I've ever done before, but it provided me with a new way to think about questions and prompts. I learned how to make claims about value and community, which I really enjoyed.

Write about something that you believed as a child.

Prompt Response: When I was younger, I believed that you could walk on clouds. I would lie down on my black trampoline in the backyard of my old house and stare up at the sky. I remember looking up and seeing huge white fluffy clouds in a variety of different shapes. I used to dream of jumping and walking on them. This dream was cut short early when I went to the Appalachian Mountains and my parents said, "Look, Rylan! We're driving through clouds." I remember being heartbroken because they looked so fun to walk on. Summary: Today in class, we learned about the different types of claims and what a claim is. We talked and learned about Claims of Fact, Claims of Value, and Claims of Policy.  Reflection: Learning more in depth about the three different types of claims today, makes me feel more confident about claims. I feel better about writing and decipher different types of claims.

As you grow older and face new experiences, what issue or topic do you think you'll have to stand up and debate most often, whether with friends, family, or society?

Prompt Response: As I grow older and face new experiences I think I will have to stand up most often for my learning disabilities. Throughout school this has been a challenging topic because lots of friends, teachers and administrators don't want to nor try to understand how severely dyslexic I am. Throughout the past two years in high school many of my teachers fail to let me use my 504 plan accordingly and the administrators have messed up AP testing due to not submitting my 504 requirements to college board in time. Due to the struggles I have faced in school and my friends making fun of me for not being able to spell simple words I believe for the rest of my life I will have to stand up for myself to bosses, friends and college professors to explain that I was born with these learning disabilities and I am trying my very best everyday to overcome them.  Summary: Today in class, we learned and looked at PowerPoint about Arguments.  Reflection: I loved learning about th...
