Week 31: Words from the wise...

In my opinion, Junior year has been pretty easy so far, besides the parcc tests. I'm actually pretty excited that I'm almost a senior. It seems like school is just flying by. Some advice that I could offer to newer students is to do your homework and stay out of trouble. It really annoys me when people don't care or don't try to do their best. Also, don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong. Another thing not to do is rumors and gossip. If it's not your business, stay out of it. Other than that, try to have as much fun as you can. It helps a lot if you have fun. The year seems to go a lot faster if your have a good time with friends.

Week 30: Who are you?...

If I was suddenly struck dumb by amnesia, the five people I would want to help me re-learn everything about myself would be my parents, of course, and my three best friends. My parents could tell me a lot about my life at home. They would probably say that I'm a good guy that plays video games a little too much and that I don't get out of the house much. My friends could tell me about my life while at school. They could tell me that I get good grades and remind me of all the fun times we had together. They could also tell me that I have a great personality and like to make jokes. I think that my friends and parents could teach me enough that I would be back to my normal self in no time.

Week 29: We all live in a yellow submarine...

All aboard the English 3000! If we had a submarine, I think it would be awesome to go to Australia and dive down to the Great Barrier Reef. Then we'd party around in the Pacific Ocean, make a stop at Hawaii for a luau, and then go explore the ocean some more. Maybe after finding a strange ocean trench, we travel down it and find the lost city of Atlantis. We could party with them, grab some gold and jewels, and go back to the surface world. Then we would go on a deep sea scavenger hunt, looking for new species of animals or something. Then we could all go home and maybe plan another trip.

Week 28: With a little help from my friends...

Dear Friends,
               There are too many of you that have helped me along the way to single out just one or two. I want to thank all of you, and you know who you are. You've helped me through the bad times and the good times with words of wisdom and kindness. Without you, my friends, I don't know how I would have gotten through the past few years. The good times we had were awesome and they will always be fond memories. I may not know what the future will bring but I do know one thing: That I will never forget my friends.

Week 27: Welcome to the black parade...

Right now, my favorite song would have to be "Hero of the Day" by Metallica. I think this song would tell the story of a lost hero. His family waits for him forever, with a single candle burning in the windowsill to light his way home. He's still alive, but is lost in the darkest places of the world, looking for a way out. Pretty soon he get so fed up with fighting the darkness, he gives up for a while. But then he thinks of all the people that trapped him there, and vows to have his revenge and never give up. His anger and rage are unimaginable, and they give him the strength to carry on. And at the end of the story, he can finally see the light burning in the window; the way home.

Week 26: Words in retrospect...

A time when I wished I had said something different was when I got into an argument with my sister. We were both going back and forth, calling each other names and stuff. Then she said something really mean, and walked away before I could think of a snappy comeback. So I went back to my room, and it only took like five minutes before something great popped into my head. I was like, "Why didn't I think of that earlier?" But by then it was too late, so I just told my parents what happened, made myself look completely innocent, and got her in trouble. I was happy.
