Essay

"There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be relizeed until personal experience has brought it home"-John Stuart Mill
How do I reflect persnal experience?I reflect by Thinking of one thing and then going,"Hey this reminds me of........"Then It comes back to my memory. I look back and I talk about what happened in my life. Like when Years ago, probably when I was a baby or a little boy,I had 2 brothers and 1 older sister.(Yes Im the baby in the family)One of My brothers did alot of crazy things like shoplift,cut school and sell or take drugs.One the there was some car accident or something that my dad told me about that my brother was in.
My brother was arested and been In prison for Many years. He's still in prison today.I don't know or remember how my mom reacted ether speechless or crying.It was a tough time for the family.Today Im in High School getting my education. Looking back on my brothers experince, I know I have to graduate so that I don't end up In the same direction.Sometimes school is hard but I never gave up.
Another experince is when I was riding my scooter in the backyard. I was going very fast.When all of a sudden,My scooter triped over a large crack.I went Flying all the was to the concreate.I got a huge cut on my Knee.A cut so bad,It took 2 bandages to cover it up.Today I look back at that experiance anytime I ride my bike and I Ride slowly with concacusion

1. I just read Ch 1 of The Little Prince Witten and illustrated by Antoine De Saint Exupéry

2. The connections I can put is when the little man laughed at Antonie about the plane crash,My sister scares Me by coming out of nowhere when I enter a room and I get shocked.She laughs and I get angry Just like how
Antonie gets mad at the little man for laughing at his misfortunes.

3.The question I was thinking is will he move on and forget drawing.I found out that He haven't drawn for a long time but he still drew the boxes well.

4. I learned that you cant let other people crush your dreams I know its not funny to laugh at others misfortunes.I thought that the little man is from another planet or country that's too small for him.

5.I enjoyed when the little prince told
Antoine to draw a sheep but wasn't satisfied. Antoine was getting impatient. so he draw a box and the prince was satisfied.
