Prompt: Describe a real moment in your life that felt like the beginning of a powerful story. Tell what happened, and why it felt like a turning point in your life?

 At the point in the beginning of the year when I decided I was going to not only exempt but get all A's, I knew I was going to be able to do it and it was going to be powerful. From August to December I maintained the big goal of all A's and I went through study session, serious lock in moments, ask questions when needed, and more to pursue this goal. I think my turning point was when I saw my name on all the list for all my classes to exempt the final. I say this because that's when I knew I actually did it and it encouraged me to do the same thing this semester.

Prompt: At the end of the novel, Celie reconnects with Nettie and forms more peaceful relationships with the people who once harmed her. Reflect on the theme of reconciliation. Have you ever restored a relationship, forgiven someone, or been forgiven in a way that changed you? How does the novel’s ending shape your understanding of forgiveness across different cultures or families?

Given me and my significant other go through things, there has been plenty of times where we have both got into and apologized. Each time it feels as if we get stronger and stronger. All of these disagreements teach me something new lesson wise. The novel showed me that forgiving doesn't always end in getting backstabbed again and that sometimes its ok to let your guard down for a better outcome in the future.
