When Celie says, “The God I been praying and writing to is a man. And act just like all the other mens I know,” she expresses disappointment, betrayal, and disillusionment. Discuss a moment in your own life when something you believed in turned out to be different than what you imagined. How did this realization shape your identity or worldview?

 When i was younger of course i believe in Santa Clause. Though kids at school will tell me all the time santa was fake i didnt believe them. One day, i woke up in the middle of the night and saw my father wrapping gifts. I was devastated. I felt tricked and lied to. Out of spite and rebelliousness, i went to school the following week and told everyone Santa was fake. Given , i was telling everyone i could possibly tell, students began to cry. The  teacher decided to call my mom , and i had to go home for the rest of the day.

Prompt: Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks and spending time with family over a nice dinner. Write about your most unforgettable meal.

Every year me and my mother would have thanksgiving at my uncles house. These past few years we've grown apart and my mother and I have had thanksgiving at home.

Everything just perfect and had me counting down for the next thanksgiving.  Today we read a few letters of the color purple and took and short group test.

Prompt: How do you find time to enjoy your day, even when you have a lot going on? Write about at least three specific things you do to enjoy small moments throughout your day.

Things i do to be sure i enjoy my day is listening to music, take a shower, and find something good to watch while i eat. I usually do these things closer to night after i’ completed a day of school and work.  Listening to music for me is a form of therapy where i can almost express how I'm feeling and feel relieved after listening. Taking a shower to me almost washes off all the negativity and makes me feel fresh mentally and physically. Lastly, finding something good to watch while eating gives me some nostalgia and is relaxing.

Prompt: Describe your birth experience. What have your parents told you about the circumstances of your birth?

 My mom's experience of having me was a bit hard. Both maternal and paternal grandparents came in support, as did my father. Once my mom began labor, my head was too big, and I got stuck. She was in labor and in pain for a while until they told her she needed to have a C-section. She agreed to the C-section and proceeded. After I was finally out, they had to stitch her stomach back up, which caused us to stay in the hospital for a minute. Finally, we were released as a healthy baby and a healthy parent.
