Everyone has burning questions about life. Mysteries we wonder about but don’t always have clear answers for. Think about your biggest questions about existence, purpose, or the world around you. Write a blog post where you share at least two of your most burning questions about life and explain why these questions matter to you.

 Prompt Response: One question I have about our lives is: Is there any other intelligent life out there in the universe. I think about this question all the time because it is so interesting to me. How cool would it be to talk to a completely alien species. What would they look like? Or what things would they be interested in? Another question I have is what came before the big bang. The big bang created everything in the universe, so what was there before it. How could something like that just happen from nothing? I think about this too because the answer is such a mystery, and there could be endless reasons for it.

Summary: We worked on our origin myth posters in class today.

Reflection: Creating an origin myth poster is a good way to simplify my story and make it accessible for all. It puts it in a short form that is easy to share and doesn't take too long to go through.

Prompt: In “Her Sweet Weight on My Heart a Night” by Emily Dickinson, the speaker describes the emotional weight another person can have on us. Think about someone who has left a lasting impact on your life. In what ways do you still carry that person with you?

 Prompt Response: I had my first girlfriend last year and that had a huge impact on my life. I had never had a girlfriend before so it was an eye opening experience to what it was like. I learned with her what managing a relationship was like and how I should handle it. I also learned what to look for in people that I would want to spend my time with. I still think about her and how she fundamentally changed how I view a lot of people. Summary: We worked on our Emily Dickinson poem drawing. Reflection: I got to brainstorm more about the deeper meaning of the Emily Dickinson poem that we were working on.

Describe one thing that makes you different from other people.

 Prompt Response: One thing that makes me different from other people is that I'm an atheist. I hear people talk about their faith often and it makes me think about what other people believe. I personally don't believe in anything but I respect the fact that others have something they believe in. I don't really share this so most people don't even know that this thing makes me different. That is what makes me different from other people. Summary: We read a poem made by Emily Dickinson Reflection: This helped me gain insight on how poems are written and structured. I also learned about how Emily Dickinson's writing style differs from the normal.

Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths.

 Prompt Response: I went to the beach in Key West for New Years. There wasn't many people there so it was very peaceful. The water was shallow so I could see through it and explore the ocean. I walked around and looked at all the coral and sea plants that were on the bottom. I saw tiny fish swimming around while I was walking through the water. Seeing all of these things really made me feel like I was connected to nature. Summary: We talked about myths, religion, origin myths, and themes in class today. Reflection: I learned that myths and religion were very similar to each other. This helps me so that I know the differences between them and don't get them confused in the future.
