Prompt: In the poem, the speaker and his neighbor meet each year to repair a wall. Describe a time when you had to set or respect a boundary with a friend, family member, or classmate. How did it help or hurt your connection with that person?

 I realized I had to prioritize my academics, so I made the difficult decision to tell my close friend I needed space from our daily routine. Because we had been inseparable, she was initially hurt and misinterpreted my boundary as a rejection of our friendship. However, after some time passed, she showed great understanding and respected my commitment to my schoolwork. Ultimately, setting that necessary limit didn't harm our bond; instead, it strengthened our friendship by establishing mutual respect for each other's individual needs.

Summary: Today we did a common lit.

Reflection: I got better at using a text to answer questions.

Write about the best gift you have received.

 The best gift I have received is my personalized, professional-grade baseball glove. I had been admiring that particular model for a long time, and my parents knew how much the right tool would boost my confidence on the field. For a few months, I used it for almost six or seven hours a day, meticulously oiling and breaking it in until it molded perfectly to my hand. I was able to snag hard-hit balls that I used to miss and finally felt like I had the equipment necessary to play at a high level with my team. I am very appreciative of it because it wasn't just leather; it was a commitment to my passion. I still use it a lot, trusting it every time I step on the field, and I know it will be with me for a long time. Summary: We did a quiz on our vocabulary and learned about formal and informal language. Reflection: I learned when to use formal language and when to use informal language.
