Reflect on a time when you paused to appreciate the beauty of nature, much like the speaker in “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Where were you, what did you notice, and how did that moment of stillness make you feel or change your perspective?

When I was younger and used to hiking in Stone Mountain a lot, I felt super close to nature. I would go with a lot of friends and my whole family. Sometimes we would hike at sunrise, and sometimes we would even do sunsets. I also feel close to nature at the lake. Many times I would take a boat out and just sit near the water and look at the birds flying. It made me feel so peaceful and calm. I love the water. It is my faviorate fact about nature. It changes my perspective because it makes me calm down and appreciate things. Today in class, we had this big assignment. We worked on it all class. Today I learned some Mandarin.

Of today’s 15 vocabulary words, which three do you think you will use the most in your speaking and writing this semester? Explain why each word feels useful or powerful to you.

 I will use aesthetic a good amount because ive already used it multiple times in the past. Im comfortable with that word. I typically call things please and stuff a lot. But since now I really know the definition I feel it will expand my vocabulary. If I start using that word more then people will think I am smarter. I will also use affinity because I feel like I say I love things a lot. Thats not the exact definition of it but it gets my point across. It also makes it seem like i know what I am talking about. I think at last I will use animosity a lot because people wont understand it. I could tell someone I truly dont like that I have a feeling of animosity towards them and they will be clueless. Today in class we worked on these 15 vocabulary words. We also put them to use by choosing which one fits the sentence the best. Today I learned how to calculate radians into degrees.
