Something I wish I had more of

 Prompt Response: I wished I had more money. Everything In this life and economy is money, Without money you can't get an education, living place, food, clothes, and much more.

Summary: I want to be able to repay my parents everything they have wasted on me. I wanna be able to provide for them and sustain them and give them the peace they need. I don't want them to keep working themselves to just end up dying and all that hard working money to be useless afterwards. 

Reflection: That is why I wish I had more money because without It there's isn't much to do in life without it.

Reflect on how your cultural heritage shapes your daily expectations, inspired by "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid.

  Prompt Response:  My cultural heritage shapes my daily expectations a lot. As a Mexican woman, I am expected to know how to cook and clean or else no one will want me as a woman.  Summary: In "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid, it is a passage written as a mother telling her daughter instructions on what to do and how to behave. Often repeating how she shouldn't shape herself into a "slut". Reflection:  This made me reflect on how parents or guardians often remind us on how to behave, how to do things, and what to do in certain situations.

Describe how gender roles or patriarchy influence your identity?

  Prompt Response: Gender roles influence my identity a lot because as a growing young lady a lot of people expect you to know how to cook, sew, clean and much more.   Summary: Gender roles and patriarchy are often normalized because people often assume "oh a man works and the woman stays and cleans and cooks at home." It is very common for people to assume that's how it always works. Men often don't get pushed by their parents to clean and know how to cook as often as women/young ladies do growing up. Which is seen as equality by many people. Reflection:  I often do see these equalities in my every day life. I personally see guys have more freedom than girls do. Meanwhile girls often get pushed by their parents to know how to cook so they get seen as "useful" for their future partner or in life.

Describe a time when you felt completely lost.

  Prompt Response:  One time I felt lost was when I lost my best friend. He recently left due to a discussion we had and is now gone from my life. The person I talked to day and night and did my everyday schedule with is now gone.  Summary: I am somewhat relieved that we are apart because I am now working on myself and focusing more on myself but that did affect me a lot. It's hard when someone that was a big part of your life leaves your life and it causes you to feel confused, lost, and upset. I couldn't eat for a couple weeks right and I couldn't sleep either out of that gut feeling and emptiness.  Reflection:  I am now somewhat okay but I still look for him in everyone I talk to, I am happy that we are out of each other's lives to let each other heal and grow in life. I hope everything is okay for him and much more. I am also growing and figuring out stuff I didn't even know about myself! Lots of improvements and achievements I have discovered in myself.
