My End of The School Year Goals

The end of the school year is coming and I'm super excited but also pretty sad to end 8th grade. I really want to finish 8th grade strongly, so I'll get a stronger start for my freshman year. And, I have some goals I want to achieve for the end of 8th grade. My first goal would probably studying and doing well on the finals. I'm super nervous for finals so my goal would be, "Don't be nervous and try your best for the 8th grade finals". My next goal would be finishing off the 8th grade year with all A's. I haven't gotten all A's since sixth grade! I used to be obsessed with getting all A's but ever since I got that one B in Spanish in 7th grade, I kind of stopped caring about my grades. But because I stopped caring, I started getting C's!! So I want to finish 8th grade with all straight A's. That way, I'll feel very proud of myself. My third goal would be to just be confident in ending the 8th grade and confident and achieving my goals.

It's Complicated...

Do you ever get that feeling when school is super complicated and you just can't keep up? Well, I think that everyone who goes to school actually gets it. School is complicated. And it just confuses us. All the homework is just too much and the school work is just too complicated. Even the tests don't even make any sense. And all the bad grades, that you have to tell your parents because they have to sign your report card, gives you stress. I think that school shouldn't be this complicated. And I know what some people are probably saying that if we study, pay attention in class, and actually DO our homework, then school shouldn't be that complicated. But it still is!! (In some ways) Waking up early in the morning to get ready for school so you won't be late, and trying to stay awake in class because you didn't get much sleep. It's just too COMPLICATED!!!

OMG Have You Seen the New Show?!?!

So, many of you guys probably know the new show "13 Reasons Why". This show is so good. It's pretty intense in some parts but it's really good. 13 Reasons Why is about a girl named Hannah Baker who commits suicide, but she had a reason for it. She leaves these tapes to a close friend of hers named, Clay, who had a crush on Hannah. In those tapes that she recorded, she explains 13 reasons why she chose to take her own life. But before Clay, a group of kids had already received the tapes and were told by Hannah, to pass those tapes on. It gets better and better and I love all the mystery in the show. This movie was based on a book. But, I haven't read the book yet. I've heard from some friends that the book was better than the show, but I don't know if that's true because the show was really good. Like so good I can't even explain it. But you know what they say, "Books are always better than the movie". I suggest you watch the movie!!!!

Puppies, Kittens, and Bunnies, Oh My!

According to research, if you look at cute animals before a test, you'll have a better chance scoring higher than what you usually get. And, since we're taking the PARCC this week, I thought some of these cute pictures of baby animals will help you concentrate for the test. So maybe take a quick peek at these pictures and score well on the PARCC testing!! Good Luck!!

                                                               


                                                         

Dear Mom...

This is a tribute to my mom. My mom has done so many things for me. And I'm very thankful for that. Every morning she wakes up and even though she's so tired and wants to go back in bed, she is determined to wake my sister and I up for school. And she cooks us breakfast and makes our lunches. When she comes home, she's so tired, that all she wants to do is lay down and rest, instead she takes my siblings to places they need to be like hockey for my brother, and the library for my sister. Then, she comes back and cooks a delicious meal for my whole family. I love my mom so much and she's always there for me. Some daughters have a bad relationship with their moms, but my mom and I have a great relationship. I'm going to start and try to get closer to her, because I'm always busy so I never get to spend a lot of time with her. And also, she's always busy with my brother's after school activity. But, from now on, I'm going to make sure that we will spend time more often.
