Write about a time when you were judged unfairly.

 A time when I was judged unfairly was when students and teachers, because of the way I present myself, they assume that I am more unintelligent than I actually am. I am not sure why I have encountered this as often as I have, it is frustrating but also liberating to prove people wrong. I am fine with the stereotype that certain individuals have placed upon me, the only opinion of me that matters is my own, I know my intelligence level and I know everything that I am capable of, and that is the most important thing.

: Choose a vocabulary word that resonates with you personally. Write a blog post explaining why this word is significant to you, including any personal memories or experiences that link you to the word./

 The vocabulary word that I find most resonates with me personally is "livid." I have heard the word and experienced the feeling all throughout my childhood as well as my life now. I was what people think of as the "angry daughter" of the family. The smallest thing would make me absolutely lose my mind. People would walk on eggshells around me for the worry that I would blow up at them. This was when I was younger and I have since grown out of this.

Write about a time when you realized you needed to look out for yourself in a silly or harmless situation—maybe dodging a pop quiz, escaping a group chat argument, or remembering at the last second to submit an assignment. How did choosing wisely make your life easier?

A time I realized I had to look out for myself in a harmless situation was when my friend and my brother were arguing and they tried to pull me into it and it was beyond my control so I had to stop talking to both of them for a while.

Absurdity

 A time when I felt a little absurd was the time when I jumped 1.5 meters on horseback unprepared and in improper equipment. It was late at night and I was doing a "hack ride" which is where you just do ground work (walk, trot, canter, etc) and not do any jumps. I was being watched by my mother who, for a split second, looked away and I ran with the horse over two 1.5 meter jumps back to back. I almost fell off and got extremely injured, my lack of preparation could have put my physical well-being in jeopardy. I needed to properly warm up and warn the people coaching me before attempting to pull a stunt like that again. Today in class we discussed different levels of absurdity and how that can look different when applied to different topics, you have to look at the process and work that goes into something before you can judge how "absurd" something truly is.
