Today you created similes and metaphors that reflect your struggles, growth, and resilience. In a well-developed paragraph, reflect on the process. What did you learn about yourself while writing your figurative language?

 While creating similes and metaphors about my struggles, growth, and resilience, I learned that figurative language can reveal deeper truths about my experiences. Turning my challenges into comparisons helped me reflect more thoughtfully on how those moments shaped me. I realized that many of my struggles were not just obstacles, but opportunities that strengthened my character and pushed me to mature. Writing in this way also showed me that I am more resilient than I sometimes give myself credit for. Overall, the process helped me better understand my personal growth and recognize the progress I have made over time.

Even though I closed my living in Chicago chapter that will never change my history. In class today we briefly read a short origin myth about the Navajo people. I learned about how most origin stories/myths are wrote, it impacted me by educating me on this specific topic because every story is different in their own way. I might use this knowledge by implying or relating it to more stories/origin myths we read in this class.
