Chris McCandless rejects a traditional path of success and instead defines success on his own terms through freedom, experience, and personal meaning. Reflect on what success means to you at your current stage in life. In the response, explain how success is currently defined (grades, college acceptance, achievements, happiness, etc.) and where those ideas come from. Then, consider whether that definition truly reflects personal values or if it is shaped by expectations from family, school, or society.

 Prompt Response: I feel right now success is based on my grades and what I do after high school. Also what ever happens with my soccer in the future. I think my success comes from family and what they believe in and influence me. I want to succeed by playing soccer at the next level in college and go to a good school after graduation because that will set up my life for the future. 

Summary: Absent from class

Everyone has burning questions about life. Mysteries we wonder about but don’t always have clear answers for. Think about your biggest questions about existence, purpose, or the world around you. Write a blog post where you share at least two of your most burning questions about life and explain why these questions matter to you.

  Prompt Response:  My two biggest questions about life are the moon landing and the false flag operations. These questions interest me because I want to know the answer, but might never find out the real answer. The moon landing sometimes looks fake, and people say its with a green screen. I think it is real but it definitely could be fake. I also think the false flag operations could be real with the government doing bad things. This seems like it could never be real because why would we hurt the country, but I see a way its real.  Summary: Today in class we made our own origin myths about the first humans or first earth.  Reflection:  I made my origin myth about the first people of Earth and their jealousy.

  Prompt Response:  I felt connected to nature one time when I hiked up a mountain. I felt connected to nature during this moment because I was outside for a long period of time.
