It’s like Brother Jack shows a caring and supportive role.

Branch out to new people, invest in another job, or maybe taking a day to completely isolate yourself to catch up on schoolwork, such as I had to do this past week. Earlier this week I took a night off from work and completely caught up with my schoolwork. Without realizing, I employed one of the Habits of Mind in this past week.

While reading this, ‘flexibility’ caught my eye. Within this past year, our school has been forced to go online a number of times, so of course students are having to be flexible with their work, but this is not what I wanted to talk about. If teachers and the school would be more flexible with their work and not so much on turning things in on time, I would feel so much more obliged to do my work. But instead, I am on a time limit every single day balancing my school work, my job, and my mental health which overall has not been the best this past year. ‘Learning from another’s prospective’ caught my eye as well. Not everyone has a stable environment to be continuously sit at a desk and pump work out for a due date the following night. Again, this pulls into flexibility. If we were able to turn assignments in at our own pace and was more lenient with their students, I feel as that building a stance with my mind and work would be easier.

She is an author of a Pushcart Prize-nominated fiction that is published internationally. I chose ¨Sin was invented by the Christians , as was the Devil we sang." I chose this because I would be interested in how an indigenous queer woman would take this line from ¨An American Sunrise¨ https://lehuamtaitano.com/ Tue, 26 Jan 2021 13:11:06 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/252045?scroll_to=2292966 https://nowcomment.com/documents/252045?scroll_to=2292966 ¨We were surfacing the edge of our ancestors' fights, ready to strike." This line in this poem screams to me. This transports me in a stormy scene with both sides on horses, one side with guns and another with spears and bows. I think it expresses passion in the very beginning of the poem which I enjoy and gives me a more curious interest for the rest of the poem. I am able to envision this poem more vibrantly because I have a set scene in my head and pulls it all together.

They are exploring the unknown with themselves. Finding what they like: hobbies, favorite foods, music taste, even who they love.

There's a magnetic pull to any action you do that causes a chain reaction, but you have to make decisions for yourself before you decide to let anyone else do it for you.

There is something about getting over a fear or something that previously disgusted me that gives a sense of relief that "Oh, maybe this isn't so bad."

What is lost is the boundaries set because the lightness overshines the darkness.

They are people, people who are just trying to live their life just like a normal person. I think i feel not so 'empathetic,' but feel more like it would be easier to engage with someone with a disability that made communication more difficult Sun, 08 Nov 2020 20:49:01 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2188445 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2188445 i agree! i think it causes us to focus our attention and sort of "get attached" to them more emotionally and personally and not as someone with just a disability we think is weird, but in a more humane way of enjoying the character!

And seemingly trying to get better after a long battle of isolation. The message says, "we did it, we made it." Tue, 15 Dec 2020 12:14:02 -0500
