SUMMER 2018
This summer i have so much planned, in June i plan on going down to the Frio river with my friends for about a week. Then when i get back I am spending that time packing and shopping for my trip to England for the rest of the summer. We have family and friends in there so we usually go every year, mostly in the summer. When i get there we will spend a week with my grandparents and then a couple of days with my cousins and my aunt and uncle. Then we drive down to Exmounth, which is kinda on the border by the ocean. Then from there we are driving down to Devan. When i get back home i am going back to the river for the weekend.
RAINY DAYS
What i like about rainy days is that the air smells so much fresher and cleaner after rain, and that it always gets a little bit colder when it rains. When it rains i usually get to snuggle up in sweats and a sweatshirt under blankets and watch movies all day, which is my favorite thing to do the it rains. It just feels like a lazy day, no need to go out, no need to do anything really.
When it rains the grass gets greener and its always fresher and colder the next day. One thing i don't really like about rainy days it that everything gets muddy inside from dogs coming in and dragging mud everywhere.
SPRING BREAK (FREE WRITE)
We get out for spring break in 1 week and i am really excited because this the first year i get to go somewhere by myself like with a friend for spring break. I am going to the Frio River and i am gonna be there from Friday to Tuesday. My friend i am going down with has a house down there and we are gonna go to the dances that they usually have every night and go floating down the river. The Frio river means cold so i am very scared to see cold it actually is. The drive down there is 6 hours and when u are a2 hours away from the house you don't get any service for about a hour, so we will sleep or play games for that hour. When I get back from the river i have the rest of spring break to chill and hangout with friends.
MY SPRING BREAK
For spring break i went to the Frio river with my friend, we left Friday and got there around 3. When we had unpacked we went straight down to the river and went swimming. It was so cold but it was worth it. We went dancing every night at Garner State Park, they had a tone of line dancing that i had no idea how to do but i caught on pretty quick. We went floating on saturday and did the 4 hour float which was so much fun and very relaxing, there were cliffs that you could jump off of into the water and rapids all down the river. While i was down there my dad got all new phones for our family and forgot i was out of town and turned my phone off so i had no service the rest of the trip at the Frio, including the 6hr long car ride home. When i got home, which was on tuesday, i just hung out the rest of the break.
WHAT I LOOK FOWARD TO EACH WEEK
what i look forward to each week is the end of the week on Friday, and for the weekend. I look forward to it because I get to hangout with my friends and stay up late and sleep in. The weekend is always so relaxing because you are not really expected to do anything. I usually don't have any homework and if i do i get it done on fridays when i get home before i do anything else, so i have time to do whatever i want over the weekend.
BIOLOLGY
Right now my favorite class is bio, i like my teacher and my class. I have mrs. Shemmel and its always a new experience walking into her class. My best grade is in biology and thats surprising because i was always so bad at science, but thus year i have done really well in it and i ma understanding what we are doing. Mrs Shemmel usually bring so much energy into the class and there are always so many interesting conversations. Bio has to be my favorite class and mrs Shemmel has to be my favorite teacher!
BASKETBALL
Where do i even start with my basketball team honestly, i love them they are great and always manage to put a smile on my face every morning. Yes some can get on my nerves sometimes but we are a team and at the end of the day it doesn't matter who made the bad shot or pass or messed up the play, it matters how well we played as a team. I could not have asked for a better team to play with and spend most of my time with this season, I have made so many new friends and i can't wait to play with them next year.
REAL WORLD PROBLEM SOLVING
A e portfolio can be a example of real world problem solving, a e portfolio benefits you in your learning in many ways. A e portfolio is basically used to share what you are doing in your class with other teachers and students. One challenge with using a e portfolio is thinking of a clever thing to write about to go with your topic, and keeping it going. A e-portfolio can beneficial your academic career with college, because teachers and colleges can look at what you have been doing.
Authors purpose to "the summer my life went up in flames"
In my book "The summer my life went up in flames" the main character was dating this guy, but when they broke up she went crazy when she saw him with a new girl. So she set his car on fire, the ex boyfriend filed a restraining order. The main character went on a trip with her bestfriend and his best friend before her court date, on this trip so far she has been with 3 guys and hated every minute of it. I think the literary focus in this book is situational irony, because there are some moments in this book where you expect something to happen but something completely differnt happens.
Do You prefer to read paper books or electronic books?
I prefer to read paper books because i feel like i got more out of what i am reading, where when you read electronic it feels different. When you read a paper book you feel like you are apart of the book and I feel more into the book when i read it on paper. I also get more distracted when i read a electronic book.
How one persons dream can change the world
One persons dream can change the world by that one person achieving that dream and doing something good for the world, it also depends on the person who has the dream. A good way a dream can change the world is them making something that can help the world in a good way or in a way that can help people. Making a dream come true is very hard because you want to give up when it becomes hard or you feel like people are telling you you can't. When you pick a dream to change the world stick with it.
How young is to young?
How young is to young for a kid to get a phone? Honestly i think it depends on the family's situation and family perferance . In my opinon a kid should get a phone in at least middle school or the summer going into middle school, because now they have after school activites and they are going to peoples houses or are out with friends or out at night if they are in 8th grade. I don't think that little kids like elementray schoolers should have phones they have no need for them.
does Technology make us more alone?
Yes i think technology does make us more alone in some senses. Now a days in never see someone without there phone especially teens they are always usually walking and texting with it or have it glued to their hand or somewhere on their bodies. We are so engaged in our phones now that we never see whats going on around us. Who needs to talk face to face with someone when we can just text them or facetime them or snapchat them, i think we have lost touch of face to face conversations.
Technology vs learning
Yes i think technology gets in the way of learning because we have always been taught that technology is a distraction and it needs to be put away when learning. We now have i pads and computers to help with school work, but there are ways to play games on the i pads and computers. I see people playing games all the time in class the the i pads or computers, we have also come so attached to our phones that we just can't put the down and when they go off all our attention to on the phone or the computer or i pad.
school and life skills
In some ways yes school is teaching us life skills but at the same time no. We are learning the basics to get us through high school or whatever grade you are in. When you get into college you have to learn how to live on your own, balance your own money and be completely independent. They do teach us how to work together and how to work around certain problems, but not the necessary things to live on our own. I we should be able to learn how to balance checking account and how to do all this stuff to prepare us for real life.
Do students need recess?
I think students do need some type of break durning the day where we get to go outside for a little bit to breath and see our friends, yes there is passing period and lunch but those are timed and we are in a confined area. Its a long day and we are usually sitting in a desk for most of the day so i feel like we need time to walk around or do what we want for like 20 to 30 mins.
Is graffiti considered art?
Yes i think graffiti is considered art because its a way of experiencing your self and you do that is art but on a canvas or just drawing. People don't like graffiti because sometimes its bad but most of the art is inspirational. People also don't like it because people also tag somethings that are private property. Just think those paintings you see on the side of the road that are so amazing are considered art and you should appertiat them.
