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: Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

  Prompt Response:   When my teacher told me, "You’re stronger than you think," it stuck with me. It made me believe in myself during tough times. Those words still push me to keep going. Summary: Today was a digital learning day so we didn't have school. Mr. Rease assigned us discussion questions for letters 51-55 on the book The Color Purple. Pretty much it for today Reflection:  Today I didn't think it was going to snow but it did in the afternoon. It looked cool at first but then it got worse. The roads were covered in black ice and it became very dangerous for people to drive. My friend couldn't make it home so he had to come over to my house. Overall the snow was fun but it was very dangerous. I wish we could go back to school.
