 Prompt Response: I remember a time in high school when a classmate made a hurtful comment about my appearance in front of our peers. 

Summary: During a class presentation, my classmate pointed out that I had gained some weight and asked if I was "letting myself go." This comment embarrassed me in front of my classmates and made me feel self-conscious about my body image. 

Reflection: Although I felt hurt and angry at the time, I later realized that the classmate's words were a reflection of their own insecurities and insensitivity. It taught me the importance of being mindful of the impact our words can have on others and to practice empathy and kindness in all interactions.

Reflection: This spring break was rejuvenating and reminded me of the importance of taking time to unplug and immerse myself in nature.
