Describe a time you felt completely lost.

 Prompt Response: When I was a child, I went to a grocery store with my mom to get groceries for the week. After a while, I had wandered off as any child would and soon after I had realized, that I had lost my mom. It was a scary experience because there were a lot of people there and as an unsupervised kid, I did not feel safe. I ran through the aisles one by one, in hopes of finding my mom. The store felt like a maze, turns everywhere and every turn made me more lost. As my hope dwindled and I believed my mother had left, I make my way to the checkout area, and I see her. Relief ran through my body as I was able to find my mom and I rushed over to her and gave her a hug. Summary: Today in class we presented our powerpoints for "The Jealous Father."

Prompt: Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks and spending time with family over a nice dinner. Write about your most unforgettable meal.

When I arrived home and began to eat my quarter pounder, I realized something. I was two bites in and I realized the patty was really pink and that the burger was raw.

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: It was late at night and I was about to head to bed, when I remembered that I had a quiz the next day in ap statistics. I was deciding if whether I should study or sleep because I felt sort of confident in the material. I decided to study before going to bed and I'm glad I did because the quiz was tough. However, the study session helped a bunch with the quiz. I was able to get an A on the quiz because of decision to study for the quiz instead of not and just going in blind.
