  Troy is partially correct because I agree that the most important part of being a parent is providing, however having a good healthy relationship with your child is almost just as important. Making sure a child has food and clothes is the most important thing most of the time, making sure your child has emotional support and security is probably second unless in extreme circumstances. You could also say Troy is wrong because Troy’s definition of “Providing” is Making sure a child has food, shelter, clothes, etc. A better definition might include providing emotional support and things like that

  I think children should definitely be able to borrow money from their parents, but only if they are going to pay back the money and if there is a system around it. If a child asks you for money and you give it without expecting them to pay it back then that isn't borrowing, it is a gift. If a parent puts systems around it then it can teach the child valuable information about loans, payment plans, interest rates, etc. I believe children shouldn't have to deal with financial problems in the first place, so you definitely shouldn't expect them to handle financial problems on their own.

  A fence I have built in my life involves choosing not to share personal details about my life with people I don't know well or trust well.  There isnt anything specific that I'm trying to keep out or protect myself from, however there are many ways this fence has benefited or helped. You may tell people information about you that they don't need to know in order to be more comfortable or connect faster. However when your acquaintances with somebody and choose not to share personal details about your life, people will start to assume things about you 

 N/A I was not here this day

  A time I felt like I truly belong, is when I'm choosing to be a part of something willing, that I genuinely have interest in and enjoy, and care about. Such as being in a close friend group, or being on a sports team.

  A fear that I had to overcome was flying in an airplane when I was in 9th grade. Prior to this I had only flown 1 time when I was very little and didn't remember. I was scared of being in the air but I got on anyway and it wasn't bad.

A time that my view on a certain group of people changed after gaining a new perspective was when I played football with my neighbors. A while ago I had older neighbors who my family believed to be cold and unfriendly for a couple of reasons. However one day when i was playing football in the front yard, my neighbor came outside and we began talking and throwing the football together. My neighbor seemed to be a nice friendly person and the way I viewed them changed.

 I don’t know what ap language is or what that means. Something that’s been going well is getting good grades on the assignments I complete. A minor things that’s been challenging is trying to stay on track with completing assignments. One thing I definitely need to improve on specifically in this class is completing all of my blog posts, especially since they cannot be made up.

 The part of your culture or identity that I feel travels with you wherever you go are the stereotypes associated with it. If you are in an unknown place and people don’t know you, then they will assume things about you based off stereotypes.

 The learning method that I enjoyed most was worksheet work. Worksheet work provides clear and straightforward path of completing the work, it also allows for you to work independently. 

 A time when someone assumed something about me because of a stereotype type involved a classmate in 10th grade. I told him that I probably wasn’t planning on going to college and he said “you’re going to be working at McDonald”. This showed the stereotype that people who don’t go to college end up having low level careers even though there is nothing wrong with working at McDonald’s.
