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.

A Dream Come True!!

If I got to meet 3 famous people, they would be James Reid, BTS, and Alessia Cara. If I go to meet these 3 people and spend at least one whole day with them, it would be a dream come true. James Reid is a Filipino actor and singer. James Reid is a great singer and especially great at acting. He's half Filipino and half Australian. I watched at least one of his movies and I'm currently watching one of his shows. Most shows he acts with his girlfriend, Nadine Lustre. I would also like to meet her, but I want to meet James Reid especially.  BTS is a K Pop boy band. Although they are not one person but I would love to meet at least one of them. Maybe Rap Monster. As you can tell by his name he's the rapper in the group. I also think he's pretty cute. And last but not least I would like to meet Alessia Cara. She's a talented singer with inspiring songs. I especially like her song "Here". It's pretty inspiring in many ways and entertaining in different ways. I would love to spend a day with her and the other two famous people. 

Camp MacLean!!!

In 7th grade, I had the best time at Camp MacLean. Camp MacLean is a camp in Wisconsin and it's really fun there. All the 7th graders went and we all had the best time. Even though it was for one night, it was really fun and exciting. Especially on the first and last night, we played capture the flag. It was super fun because it was boys vs girls. And because it was at night. Some kids were going through a mini forest just to try and steal the flag. Many girls got tagged and we made this huge long line holding each other's hands because, if one person gets tagged we could all get out. We also did archery and rock climbing. I really enjoyed Camp MacLean and I can't wait to go back there this year.
