Write about a moment when you had to step out of your comfort zone.

 When I came to the United States for my exchange year, I had to step out of my comfort zone completely, It was the first time I had ever lived so far away from home, family and friends. Suddenly, I had to make new friends, speak English all the time and get used to a totally different culture.

At first it was really hard. I felt lost and nervous because everything was new. But overtime I learned how to handle things on my own. I started feeling more confident, made new friends and realized that I'm much stronger then I thought even though I miss my family and friends every day. Living here taugth me how to be independent and open to new experiences.

I have no doubt that they take good care of my hamster but he is already 2 Years old and most of the time hamsters only turn 2, they don't live very long. I had 6 hamsters before and they all died with around 2 Years old. So I think about him very often. summary: Today we did class recommendation in the library. reflection: I learned about all the different classes and things lakeside offers.

Thinking about “The Rockpile,” which parent or guardian in your life has been the strictest when it comes to discipline? Explain how their approach to discipline has influenced you or shaped your behavior.

Prompt response: In my life my dad has been the strictest when it comes to discipline. He always expected me to work hard, be honest and take responsibility for my actions. At times it felt though but his rules taught me self control and respect. Because of him I've learned to stay focused, keep my word, and think before I make decisions. summary : We worked more on the The Rockpile
