Prompt: Write about what you remember or have been told about the day you were born. What were the emotions or events surrounding it? Do you relate more to "Infant Joy" or "Infant Sorrow"?

  I was told that the day I was born was a very happy day for my family. Everyone was excited and full of joy. Because of that, I feel like I relate more to Infant Joy. It was a peaceful and special moment for them. Today in class, we started our one-pager on The Lamb and The Tyger by William Blake. We talked about how The Lamb represents innocence and kindness, while The Tyger shows strength and mystery. We also looked at the symbolism in both poems and how Blake uses it to explore good and evil. The poems show different sides of life and creation. Overall, today was a bad day because we lost our playoff game in soccer. It was tough since we had worked so hard to get that far, and everyone was really hoping for a win. We played our best, but it just wasn’t enough. It’s disappointing, but we’ll use it as motivation to improve for next season.

Prompt: What steps can you take now to prepare for a career that pays more than minimum wage? Think about education, skill-building, job research, and networking. Which steps are most important for you right now?

  To get a job that pays more than minimum wage, I can focus on school and learn new skills. I should also look up jobs I like and see what they need. Talking to people with those jobs can help too. Right now, doing well in school and building skills are the most important for me. Today in class, we watched a YouTube video about a single mom living on a $7.50 minimum wage with one kid. It showed how hard it was for her to pay for things and take care of her child. After the video, we answered questions about her life. It helped us understand how tough living on minimum wage can be. Overall, today was chill and peaceful. Nothing was too stressful, and everything went smoothly. I felt calm during school and after. It was a nice, easy day.

Prompt: After reading The Tyger by William Blake, take a moment to reflect on the idea of creation. What do you believe is the most beautiful creation in the world—natural or man-made—and why? Describe it in detail and explain what makes it so awe-inspiring to you.

  I think the most beautiful creation in the world is the ocean. It is so big and full of life, with blue water that shines in the sun. Every wave and every creature inside it shows how amazing nature is. The ocean inspires me because it feels peaceful but powerful at the same time. Today in class, we read The Tyger by William Blake. After reading it, we analyzed it together as a class. We talked about what the poem means and shared our ideas . School was okay today. Classes went by like usual, and there wasn’t anything crazy or exciting that happened. I just focused on my work and hung out with some friends during lunch. Overall, it was a pretty calm and normal day.
