In “We Real Cool,” the speakers make choices that seem exciting, bold, and rebellious, even though those choices lead to consequences. Write about a moment in your own life when you followed what looked cool or fun, only to realize afterwards that it wasn’t the smart or responsible path. What influenced your decision, and how did your perspective change later?

 When I was in 8th grade, I was friends with a rebellious group of people. During this time, I would attend the activities that they would do, and hangout with random people, a boy and a girl. One time, I was at the beach with my best friend who was in high school. She convinced me to let two random people sneak over that we met at the beach. This was very dangerous because we didn't know who they were or what they were capable of. Luckily, nothing bad happened and we had a lot of fun, but her mom came outside in the backyard and told them to go home.

I learned that you will die sooner if you partake in dangerous 'cool' activities.

It always scares me so I try not to think about it.  Today we wrote a paragraph by collecting evidence and explaining it for our unpopular opinions.  I learned that you need a a counterclaim for an essay to prove your point.

 Over the break, I took a trip with my family to North Carolina where my dads side of the family lives. We got to see the mountains, which was really intriguing and beautiful.

This goal is important to me because although I have complications, I care about my grades and learning ability.  To accomplish this goal, I will get more hours of sleep so that I am not tired, keep up with medications, and get friends and family to help motivate me to go to school.
