 Prompt Response

When I was very young and started my soccer journey I was a very ignorant little boy. During one of my soccer games the coach made a substitute and replaced our goalie for a shorter, fatter kid. To me this made no sense. I believed, as a very competitive person, that this substitute was not a smart and would not help us win the game. At the time I didn't realize the real purpose of the game was to have fun and not win. SO me being so ignorant, I yelled out my frustrations with the decision. "Why are we putting the fat kid in goal." HOLY I was so ignorant. After the game my dad was very disappointed in me. He told me that my actions and words greatly affect those around me. That my hurtful words were capable of doing more damage than any physical force. Despite my young age I really absorbed this lesson and still carry it to this day. I make efforts to be as respectful as I can not to lift up my image as a good person, but to demonstrate that I was raised right, by two amazing people.

Summary

To summarize this I made a bad decision and ultimately lead to me becoming a better person.

Reflection

I have and will continue to make mistakes but I will not let those mistakes define my life. I will continue to improve as I always have and be the best person that I can be. I understand that mistakes are part of life but its how you react that really matters.

 Prompt Response During middle school I was doing a project with a group of friends and my friends had a small dispute over who should do the drawing. Friend 1 was acting like the leader of the group and was deciding everyone's role in the project, giving himself the easiest part, the drawing part. Friend 2 didn't like the idea of friend 1 bossing everyone around and insisted that we all do the research and writing part and then all work on the drawing part together. Friend 2 though the idea was dumb and that sparked conflict between the two and they started arguing. We ended up getting split up and put into other groups. Some advice I would give Harpo and Sofia is to give 100% for each other and to find a way to satisfy each others desires. Do it for not only yourselves but for your kids. Summary During a group project one of my friends was trying to take control of the group and assigning himself the easiest part of the project. That lead to conflict in the group and we ended...

 Prompt Response One day in middle school I noticed that the nerdy kid in my class was being bullied in the hallways by some kids. I went to my teacher and informed her of the situation. This connects to the poems because it shows situations of unfairness. Summary I once saw a classmate getting bullied and reported it to an adult. Reflection I'm glad I decided to do something about it despite that kid not liking me very much.

 Prompt Response Someone in my life who inspires me to be a better version of myself is my mom. My mom had me at a really young age and sacrificed so much for me and my brother. My mom's strongest quality is that shes a HARD WORKER. At a really young age she has dealt with multiple jobs whilst also finding a way to take care of us. Despite not being around much because of work, the time we spent together was extremely valuable to us. She always made time for us and always took us to places and bought us things that she thought we deserved. She sacrificed her life interests so that me and my brother could have everything we ever wanted. She could have bought herself nice things or go out with her friends but instead she prioritized us every single time.  Summary My mom is the person I look up to the most. Reflection My mom is so cool.
