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:  One of my burning questions is how Earth was made. I have always wondered about this and there are many different theories, but I want to know the truth of it. It just always makes me think and is a great mystery to me. Another question is who discovered milking cows. This may seem a little odd, but I always wondered what led to someone milking a cow. Since someone would've had to do it and there is no clear explanation. 

Summary: Today we learned how to write an origin myth.

Reflection: I learned all of the components of creating an origin myth and how to formulate one.

By the end, I was proud that I faced my fear and stepped up. Summary: Today we wrote a claim on writable for a short story called Ambush. Reflection: I learned about this guys war experience.

 Prompt: I once had to tell my friend that I needed space to focus on schoolwork. We used to hang out every day, but my grades were starting to drop.
