 Response- My herritage can shape my daily routine by food. As in my heritage some of our food is handmade for example tortillas and tamales. These foods are made birthdays and fall and winter Holliday's like Christmas and new years.  Summary- We read Girl by Jamaica Kincaid and anaylzed and answered questions about it. Reflection- From the text I've been thought of how young women are usually placed with strict rules by their parents mostly by their mother or mother figure in order to teach young women how to behave in society in order to have a good a reputation for them and the one who taught them also their family and their gender.

 The holiday that I look forward to every year is Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's, as in those holidays, my family has gatherings in which we eat and celebrate the holidays. In moments like these is why I enjoy these holidays the most every year seeing my family eating and having fun as all of us don't gather as much throughout the year, so I cherish these moments as much as I can.

 At the beginning of my spring break My family decided to do a farewell party for grandpa as he is returning back to Mexico and wouldn't come back for 6 months and on Sunday, we went to church for my cousins first communion and afterwards, we went to my aunt's home to celebrate it with a small party. Through the weekdays I've mostly played Death Stranding and finished it around Thursday, and I enjoyed it as it has many actors in the game for example the main character is played by Norman Reedus and last weekend, I went to go practice my driving and went out to eat Chick fil a. 

 The way I study for any major exams is that before the day of the exams, I take notes of the topics that we are learning about and will be on the exam. I sort my notes by only writing the important words and events, I don't write any unnecessary words that aren't worth writing and with those simplified sentences I memorize them till the day of the exam. 

 Personally, I have been through a near death experience at least once in my life while there was a dream where it felt I was dying but wasn't. My first near death experience was when I had my ear pierced and one day I woke with my ear itching and realized it was swollen so I told my mom about it and she decided to remove it and as soon she started removing it hurt, and I felt something running down my ear it my mom told me it was blood and a lot but as she was telling me this my hearing got muffled and I was getting blind and only saw grayish-white and nothing else. But it got better, and I regained both   but if it gotten worse, I would've lost too much blood and me losing my vision and hearing might've been a sign that I was about to die. I think when someone dies, they lose their senses like how I did their vision gets blurry and hearing muffled and soon they won't see anything nor hear anything.

 Studying complex vocabulary lets me speak clearly and confidently, also reduces errors I can have when speaking to a well-mannered person as a result can leave a positive impression of me on them especially when I'm in an interview while in school it can help me with making great essays, explain complex ideas and do well on tests.
