In Wild, Cheryl Strayed writes about the difference between deciding to do something and actually committing to it: “There was the first, flip decision to do it, followed by the second, more serious decision to actually do it.” Reflect on a time in your own life when you made a quick or casual decision that later required a deeper commitment. Describe what changed between the first decision and the moment you realized you truly had to follow through. What fears, challenges, or responsibilities became real once the decision was no longer just an idea?

 Prompt Response: A time I made a quick decision and later more committed was getting a job. What changed between the first time and the moment I realized I had to follow through was realization that nobody is going to do anything for you nor save you therefore you have to go out there and get it on your own.

Summary: Today in class we continued reading the book and answered questions about themes.

Reflection: I learned how to take a quote and attach it to a theme.
