Reflections on Blogging

I guess I'm okay with blogging. It's not something I would want to do all the time though. I always blogged when I was told too. Again, it's something I wouldn't do all the time. If I would ever make another blog, I don't think I would be able to pick up on it. I would just forget about it to be honest here. People who blog for money, good for them. It's something they like doing so. I don't really read anyone else's blogs. I don't really like blogging. It just takes up my time pretty much. I don't really have a like for it.

Memorial Day!

My Memorial Day weekend was really good. I didn't celebrate in fashion. I was home alone majority of the weekend while my family was camping. I went to a bonfire on Friday. Did nothing on Saturday. Sunday was graduation and went to another bonfire. Monday I just relaxed all day. The first Memorial day was celebrated on May 30, 1868. What we actually celebrate on Memorial Day is all the people who are in the army, navy, military, etc. All the soldiers in the US. It is considered their day.

National Month For ????

I honestly don't know why people would set up unusual things for us to celebrate each other. I find it weird but I guess it's what people thought would be interesting to do. I believe that some people do celebrate these things. I really didn't know this month was for smiles. Three other things we should celebrate in May is be yourself. Also a relaxation day and don't wear make up day. I'm not sure what I would really like to celebrate this month to be honest.

Violence on TV

The amount of violence on TV is a little over board sometimes. I feel like there is a lot more today than there was back then. I wouldn't say there is too much violence but close enough to it. I think the really violent shows should be on after a certain time at night because only of little kids watching it. It would manipulate their minds and make them think wrong. I don't really watch violent TV shows myself. I don't think they are that entertaining to be honest. I really don't know why TV shows would have so much violence. I think violence should never be the answer to anything. It should be your last resort. I believe American Horror Story has violence. This is like the only show I would watch. There is a lot of fighting, blood, deaths, etc. Somewhat mature content in it. I think you should at least be 15 or older to be watching this show.

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is the celebration of the Battle of Puebla held on May 5th. It is celebrated because it is like their independence day for them. Anyone can really celebrate this holiday. It's mostly Hispanics who do though. I'm not sure if it should become a national holiday because it's mostly about Mexico than any other countries.

Prom

I honestly like Prom. I think it's a fun experience to have your last two years in high school. It let's everyone dress up and look nice and decent. I do believe it is important to go your senior year of high school because it's your last high school dance ever! You have to cherish your moments and make them the best memories. I'm really excited for After Prom. I've heard from people who already went to After Prom and it sounds really fun. I'm more excited for After Prom then Prom to be honest. Some times I do believe we should just have After Prom.

Earth Day

Earth Day to me means that you are staying green and helping the environment stay healthy. I remember back in 1st grade we made our own bookmarks made out of recycled newspapers. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Here are some facts about Earth Day:

• The first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970.
• It became worldwide by 1990.
• Earth Day was renamed officially by the UN in 2009 as International Mother Earth Day

In order to celebrate Earth Day, you should clean up local areas, use the three R's, etc.

Spring Break

The day I had that was most eventful of my spring break was Monday. I went down to my dad's Sunday night. That Monday morning Amanda and I woke up early. We had to wait for Allie to wake up. We got ready and we went over to pick up my friend Jeremy. Afterwards we headed to the Franklin Park mall. When we got there, Amanda and Allie saw a movie while Jeremy and I walked around the mall. I honestly had a lot of fun just walking around. We talked about a lot of things. He took me into stores I have not been in. He even "proposed" at one point which was cute and hilarious. We had Subway for lunch. Once Allie and Amanda were out of the movie we played Marco Polo with them in JCPenny's. They were cheating.... Anyways we took Jeremy home and headed back home watching movies for the rest of the night. I had a really great day on Monday and I wish I could do it again! That was the highlight of my spring break.

National Pencil Day

I don't usually like using the original yellow pencil. I usually use a mechanical pencil. I do like to doodle sometimes. It's usually the same picture over and over again though. I don't doodle a lot. I think using a pencil to sketch something is better than using a pen because if you mess up you can erase. I believe that there will always be a need for pencils even if we can't admit to it.

My Choice!

So the past week I've been staying at my friend Amanda's house. I seriously only been home for one day this week. I honestly been having a lot of fun. We've been having a lot of fun just messing around. Kamyah and Sadi came over during the weekend and that was great. Tons of laughing. It's the best week I've had to far!

Portrait Photography

For you to have a good potrait photograph, I believe you first need to have good lightning. You need to be able to have a still picture. I don't think it's that easy to get a good shot. You have to be patience and take time to get the right picture. You need good lightning and a good angle. The first picture of the baby is a good portrait photograph because of how the clear the image is. Plus there is great lightning and a good angle. The second picture of the girl is also a great example of portrait because of how it's clear and it's focusing just on her.

Cheaters Never Win!

If I saw one of my friends cheating, I'm not sure about what I would do. I mean, everyone cheats. Yes it would make me mad, especially if they try to cheat off of me. I most likely would confront them about it and warn them not to do it again. It isn't right to and I know I have before and I've learned my lesson. You should never cheat. It isn't going to get you any where in life.

My Weekend

I guess I'll talk about my weekend. Well Friday, we had a pep assembly for our winter homecoming. I thought it was pretty neat. The Varsity basketball girls put a dance on and that was pretty cool. Then we got to watch the teachers do an American Idol act. Mrs. Lyons won. After school I had practice then I stayed for the game. Saturday I had my own game. We lost by a few points but I got a 3 pointer so that's pretty sweet. I went to my dad's after that. We watched movies all weekend. I got a new phone. By 7 I was back at my mom's. So that was pretty much my productive weekend.

Testing! Testing! Testing!

I guess I'm okay with being tested. It helps me know what I haven't learned and what I need help on still after the test. Whether I struggle or not. I feel like education does rely too much on testing. Even though it helps the teachers know what we don't understand. I wouldn't mind there being no test but then again, it wouldn't really help us in the long run. I'm okay with the standardized testing as well. It really isn't that big of a deal with me, just a lot of stress though. I'm pretty good when it comes to testing. For the people who "don't do well on test" just need to put more effort into studying. That's all.

Top Four

The most important four things in my life is family, friends, school, and sports
Family: Family is important because they are always there for you. Even when you feel like you and your siblings never get along, they'll be there for you in the end. You should cherish every moment with them.
Friends: Friends are important to me because if they are your true friend, they'll get you. You could have so many things in common with that person or people you have as friends. You have so many memories and moments with them. They can relate to you a lot of things. Friends are second to being there after your family.
School: School chooses what you become later in life. It's kind of a make or break it situation. You have to decide in your high school life what you become and how you are going to be in the future.
Sports: I love playing sports. It's all I ever do. I also like going to sport events. The thrill of sports is amazing. It gives me more confidence than I do. It helps me with stress. Sports are just amazing.

Popluar President

I believe that Abraham Lincoln had the greatest impact on our nation. I believe he did because he made it to where we don't have slavery anymore. I think the hardest thing about being the President is having every one relying on you when there is a crisis. I would not like to be President. I don't know what my campaign pitch would be since I don't want to be President.

Charity Event!

If I had $100,000 to give away, I would probably give it to orphanages. I feel like there is no where better to give the money too. The kids there don't have an actual home and I would want them to be able to have the wants of any other child would in a family.  If there was any left over money, I would give it to the homeless as well. They go through just as much as an orphan would. That's exactly what I would do with $100,000.

I want out of here!

If I got to choose where I wanted to be right now, I would want to be on the beach. I would want to be in the sun. Laying on the beach by the ocean. It would be very relaxing and not stressful. Feel the ocean breeze. I love to be on the beach. It's a very calming environment. It's better than being in school and in the cold!

Bug Out!

If I could be any insect, I would want to be a butterfly. I would want to be a butterfly because I think they are really beautiful. I know they have a short life span but I would want to be able to fly where I want to and I'll be able to see the world. I'm not sure what kind of butterfly I would want to be though. I just know that would want to be the only insect I would really want to be if I could.

Final Exam

During Exploring Technology, I've learned quite a few things about the whole world of technology. I believe that once I graduate I will still be using some of the things I learned. One thing I would probably still use would be Google Drives. I think I'll use it when I am in college and I have to do a project of some type that I will need Google Drive for it. I also think that when I go to get a job that I will most likely you it to do a resume. I think Google Drive is a really cool tool to use. You can let other people join in and edit it if you invite them too. The one I think I'll never use would have to be Podcasting. I don't think I would ever need to use it because I don't like the way my voice sounds when I talk so. I just don't think it's that big of a tool I would need after I graduate.

Winter Break

My winter break was pretty good. I believe it was nice and relaxing. I didn't really do a lot. I went to the movies at one point and went to the Toledo Mall. I went to go see the lights before Christmas. For Christmas, I didn't really get anything cool. I just got make up and jewelry. I'm suppose to be getting my Varsity jacket soon. I didn't even make a New Years resolution. If I did have to have one, it would be just to improve in school and be more comfortable with myself. I do plan on doing them and not breaking them. That would have to conclude my winter break.
