Prompt: Based on the two informational passages that you've read thus far this week, write about how you will personally strive to avoid student loan debt?

 I will try to avoid student loan debt by applying for scholarships, working while in school, and picking a college that isn’t too expensive. Scholarships can help pay for school, so I will apply for as many as I can. Having a job will also help me cover costs without taking big loans. I will also choose a school that gives a good education but doesn’t cost too much. Being smart with money will help me stay out of debt.

Today in class, we worked on a CommonLit.com assignment together. We read the passage and answered questions as a class, discussing our thoughts and ideas along the way. It was a helpful activity because we could share different perspectives and help each other understand the material better. The class was focused, and we got through the assignment quickly while learning from each other. It was a productive day.

My day was pretty good overall. I had a soccer game today, and unfortunately, we lost. It was a tough match, but I gave it my best effort and played hard with my team. Even though the outcome wasn’t what we hoped for, I still felt good about how we played. We worked well together, and everyone tried their hardest. After the game, I spent some time relaxing and unwinding. Even though the loss was a little disappointing, I didn’t let it affect the rest of my day. Overall, it was a decent day with some ups and downs, but I was still in a positive mood.
