 When building the body paragraph for the essay the part I found most challenging was choosing a quote. Although it may seem easy to copy and paste something, I found it difficult because I struggled to find what quote would perfectly represent what I'm trying to convey in my argumentative essay. As I am choosing different quotes my mid is making a mental evaluation of how I can word the reason I chose that specific piece of evidence. I definitely fid it more difficult to find an arguable claim rather than constructing the rest of it. This is because you need a good grasp of the main idea to choose the right arguable points.

When writing an essay it is important to keep it´s authenticity because it helps students advance in their writing skills. Now with artificial intelligence teachers have noted that students are beginning to have a lack of interest in their work and also show poor academic skills. With students relying on artificial intelligence to complete assignments it has also been harder for them to retain information in a lesson. This affects the creativity of their work. When writing an essay it requires all these factors. Thus, Ai has stripped students from their capability to properly learn and show progress in their work. This is why it is very important for students to use their creative writing skills rather than a robot rotting their brain.

When writing an essay there are multiple aspects of it that I find challenging. The main thing that I find most challenging is starting the introduction. When writing an essay it is important to have a strong topic and introduction because it helps the essay write itself. I find it difficult because it is always harder to start something in my personal experience than finish it. In my sophomore year, I had an argumentative essay to write about the book "Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde" which I found hard to start off. I had to choose a strong topic that would showcase the main characters personality. It took me awhile to get a strong introduction, but after coming up with it I found the essay easy to finish off. My strength when writting an essay would probably be finishing it rather quick once I have a good introduction. My teacher also complimented my writing style and even said that I should get into college based on how good it was. I felt flattered because i always assumed I wasn...

For starters in the assignment the section "What Others Have Said About You" was definitely the harder side to complete because it was focused on a moment instead a broader sense. The topic that I found most difficult would be being underestimated. Simply because I could not recall a moment where someone physically told me or made me feel like I was being underestimated. What helped work through this specific topic was giving more thought into how the question could be interpreted. I begun to see it as "When did someone not believe in you" and that's what helped me come up with my metaphor.

To be honest I struggled a little while trying to form my experiences into similes and metaphors. Finding the correct words to perfectly capture each memory was a little tedious. Even so, when I was able to find the correct words I started to realize that certain moments in my life meant a lot more to me that I expected. A lot of the things I didn't put much thought into were beginning to make me think deeper on those instances. I leaned that I'm also kind of bad at formulating figurative sentences.

During the break I tried my best to not remain home and be productive. I visited the park multiple times with my family and friends. We played Badminton, Pickle Bal, and Volley Ball. I also tried meditating and yoga for the first time ever and I honestly enjoyed the experienced. I had also gotten my prom dress during the break and I absolutely adore it. Lastly, my week ended off with working at my job. Overall, my break was amazing.
