GMS

I remember coming into GMS as a new student in 6th grade not knowing anyone. Over the years, I've gotten to know some kids in this school really well. Although it was hard for me to come to a new school after being at my old one for several years, I still managed to figure it out. Now as I am ending my final year here at GMS although I am sad, I'm ready for high school. Right now for me it hurts to say high school, because when I was a little kid all my older cousins were in high school, and I thought to myself "that will be a while for me to get there.", eight years later here I am, a 14 year old living in Illinois in 2018. I hope high school is just another stepping stone for my promising future.

Food.

Food. What would I do without you. If you were to be very technical you would say death, but I would feel something else. Sadness. Yes sadness, the sorrow of not being able to eat would make me very sad. Especially at lunch time when you get a break from classes and not being able to eat anything would make me feel very depressed. For me, food is like the center of everything. In conclusion (at least for me) if we didn't have food, then the universe wouldn't have any happy organisms!

Why standardized testing is the best

You might be wondering why the title of this blog post is the way it is. That's because I feel like testing is better than having a day off. Although when you have a day off it might feel better because you're at home, but you might have homework or you might have to do something that you really don't want to do on this day off. But with Parcc testing, you don't have any homework. The teachers feel bad enough for you because you are taking test after test after test, but at least you don't have homework (well usually). This weekend I had a really bad headache but I can blame that on Parcc testing. See, now you can blame stuff on Parcc testing! I'm so hyped for the PSAT's next year! It's gonna be even better judging on how much homework they give you. I hoped that you have learned not to hate on Parcc testing. Think on the bright side!

Daniel's story quote post

Before leaving the Lodz ghetto, Erika said the following to Daniel and Rosa:

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place. And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love. Always choose love.”


My quote is: "Every story has an end, but in life, every ending is a new beginning.

I liked this quote because it shows you that when a story ends it ends. But when life ends a distant future awaits you. Kinda like sports if your team loses a game then it's not the end of the world, but when you die in life you can look forward to a new beginning.

Diary post

February 22, 2018

Dear Diary, Today well it was today I guess. Nothing really happened besides the fact that king Williamson IV fell down another hole again. Gosh, he's so clumsy. Of course I was the one that had to go get him along with my fellow villagers. The problem with king Williamson is that he is the size of a boulder himself. I'm not trying to be rude but he is! Anyway, let's continue the story. So me and my fellow villagers ran down to the hole and, sure enough he was down there. I hope that someday king Williamson would get permanently stuck down there forever and nobody would ever have to go down with a rope and retrieve him again. Finally we got him out of there and he seemed like nothing happened. Good old King Williamson. His wife Margaret Williamson. Thought that maybe her husband might die someday from that. So, when he got home..... WHACK! right in the head with a frying pan. Then, she said "That's the last time your falling down a hole.". And that was the end of that.     

My life in a picture

This picture basically sums up my life. Funny and awkward at the same time. But seriously, this is probably the best picture of me I could find. Just kidding. I really like this picture because: 1. it was

taken in Iowa. 2. I have the weirdest shirt on. 3. I'm going down my old pink slide at my old old house. 

 This picture I thought was also very awkward. I'm pretty sure my parents wanted to surprise me at the same time they took a picture. I have no idea why they did that. 

 This is probably my favorite picture. It is me and my dog in my backyard. Sadly that dog is not alive anymore. Which is really sad for me because I grew up with him my entire life (at least most of it). I really miss him but now, I have a new dog!

The soundtrack of "My" life

I am pretty sure this song describes me because, my life has always been up and down. In the song it says "And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we loved." That expresses my love for my hometown. Also another lyric that relates to me is: "How am I going to be an optimist about this?" That's like how when I moved here I was sad because I left Iowa. Well, that's what song I think describes my life. So far....
