Prompt: Describe a meaningful family tradition unique to your culture and explain how it mirrors or contrasts with the cultural identity themes of expectations.

 Prompt Response: One meaningful family tradition that is unique to me is that I go to my grandparents house in Scotland and we have a large family dinner. It mirrors with the cultural identity of being with family and having values of loyalty and family bonding. I have dinner with my immediate family as well as my cousins and my grandparents. I love spending time with them because I can connect with my British side of my family.

Summary: We learned about people's names and what culture is.

Reflection: I learned that culture is a large part of our lives. Everything that you do belongs in some culture and especially in my life, there are many cultures prevalent.

Prompt: Write about a time when you realized you needed to look out for yourself in a silly or harmless situation—maybe dodging a pop quiz, escaping a group chat argument, or remembering at the last second to submit an assignment. How did choosing wisely make your life easier?

  Prompt Response:  Quite a few times in my life, I have had to submit an assignment really close to the deadline because I totally forgot about it. Most times I would turn it in roughly 1 hour before it is due but one particular time, I turned it in just seconds before it was due. It was on a Friday night and I was out having dinner with my family, we got home pretty late after we had finished eating and I decided to call my friend to see if he wanted to play video games with me. We began to play and we were chatting about what had happened during the day. Eventually he brought up that we had to turn in some assignment that night. I had totally forgotten about it and I rushed over to my chromebook to check the time. The time was 11:58. I knew I had just seconds before it was late thankfully I turned it in on time. Summary:  I forgot about an assignment and had to turn it in right before the deadline. Reflection:  I need to be better at being on top of my school work...
