Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

One person whose words have had a lasting impact on me is Shakespeare. I have always resonated with his phrase "though she be but little, she is fierce." People have often told me that I am too small to do things, especially when I was younger. I wanted to play football but people told me to draw. I wanted to do science but people told me to read. I want to be a doctor but people tell me to be a teacher. This has always been hard on me, but when I remember that phrase, I feel strong and empowered to be who I want to be.

Today at home we read more of The Color Purple, and answered questions on it. I hope that when we get back to school we can have a discussion on these chapters, because I have many questions. One thing I am wondering is why Mr. didn't just throw away the letters, but instead but them into a trunk. I am hopeful that we can go back to school on Friday, because I miss seeing people and in person learning.
