Reflect on a time when you discovered a new perspective that completely changed how you viewed a person, group, or place. How did your previous “single story” shape your thoughts or actions?

 Before I visited Mexico I assumed that everyone didn't have much money and were living in poor conditions but once I arrived there I saw that everyone is living normally with no problems. There weren't sick people nor a significant amount of violence and I only saw just a peaceful town with people living there lives. Once I had this knowledge, I told myself to judge before knowing someone or not even have visited a location in the world.

Summary- Common Lit

Reflect- Judging something from only 1 source you have read or seen should not be a option as only knowing so little will make you think you know all about what that source told of the people you seeing or location visting.

Discuss something meaningful or memorable you experienced over the break, or reflect on what you felt most thankful for during that time.

I was not great during the break as on that Monday I had my wisdom teeth removed so I was not able to eat comfortably throughout the week especially thanksgiving which was not great but other than that I was thankful that my family is still in good terms and are able to do gatherings like thanksgiving despite what happens in our family.

Write a blog post exploring your thoughts on near-death experiences and what they might reveal about life after death. Do you think these experiences are real, spiritual, scientific, or something else? Refer to details from the article and connect them to your own ideas or beliefs.

 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.
