 Prompt: Describe how you spent your time, any activities, traditions, travel, hobbies, or moments that stood out to you. You may also discuss something new you tried, something you learned, or how the break helped you reset before returning to school. Keep your response appropriate for a school setting and focus on experiences you are comfortable sharing publicly.

Prompt Response: Over the break I did a variety of things that helped me reset from school which can be more than stressful. For the first few days I did relatively little, playing games on my computer and going outside occasionally. During the middle I took a small trip up to North Caroline where I hiked and snow tubed. At the final stretch of the break, I relaxed and celebrated a family friend's birthday at my mom's.

Summary: Today in class we started and assignment about a poem by Maya Angelou.

Reflection: I found the poem to be very evocative and powerful, summarizing the resilience of the Civil Rights Movement fairly well. I find it amazing how after so much adversity Maya was able to achieve all that she did.
