Some goals I have for the end of the school year are to keep my grades up, do good on final exams, and to end the year on a good note. I want to keep my grades up because they've been really good all year and I want them to stay that way. Also, one of my goals is to do good on final exams because I've been working hard on school work all year. Finally, I want to end the year on a good note by having fun in the last days of ABC countdown, Camp MacLean, the 8th grade dance, and of course graduation. A goal I have for this summer is to spend as much time with my friends from Golf as possible. I know when we go to high school I will see them some times, but I want to spend a lot of time with them while I can and make the good times last. 

What's complicated for me is school. I like going to school everyday to see my friends and talk to them. But, school is complicated sometimes... Well, most times. Certain subjects are very confusing to me such as Math and Science. I usually have to study for Math and Science a lot when a quiz or test is coming up. I have to study a lot for those subjects because it takes a little while for me to understand what I'm learning. Also, what's complicated about school is homework. Sometimes we get a lot of homework, and sometimes we get 10 minutes worth of homework. Either way, homework is always complicated. Even though school is complicated, one day in the future, I'll be glad I have a good education, and it will all be worth it.

This week's blog post topic is either free write or about PARCC testing. So for free write I decided to write about one of my recent favorite Netflix shows, which is based on one of my favorite books. Thirteen Reasons Why is by far one of the best Netflix shows I've ever watched. First of all the actors are amazing. Dylan Minnete and Katherine Langford look exactly how I imagined Clay and Hannah while reading the book. Although, I will say the show is pretty graphic, and some parts I had to skip through. When I was reading the book, I didn't want to put it down, it was so good.  Thirteen Reasons Why is about a girl named Hannah Baker who makes seven tapes. On the seven tapes are two sides, and each side is "a reason." The reasons are about why she committed suicide. If you like suspenseful books and shows, I highly recommend both the book and the show.  (SPOILERS BELOW) So while watching the show I realized many things that were different than in t...

According to research it's been proven watching cute videos or looking at pictures of animals or babies helps students through tests. So enjoy these pictures of these adorable animals to help you with your PARCC testing! (this is Colleen Ballinger's Cat Gus Gus)

A tribute isn't always for a person that has passed away. A tribute could be for anyone who is very special to you. This a tribute for my mom. My mom is always there for me. She has been there for me my whole life. From when I was taken home from the hospital, to today. She helps me through problems and cares for me. She is also very encouraging and supports everything that I do. She always makes me smile when I'm sad, and she never fails to make me laugh. I haven't really had any near-death experiences with my mom, but I don't need an experience like that because I already know that I have an amazing mom. She is honestly one of my biggest role models and one day I hope to be like her.

If I could have a meeting with three people (dead or alive) I'd have a meeting with Colleen Ballinger/Miranda Sings, Grant Gustin, and Caleb or Hayley LeBlanc. Colleen Ballinger is my idol. I look up to her because she is always so positive and adores her fans. Also I really love her Youtube videos and her character Miranda Sings. Next, I'd have a meeting with Grant Gustin because he is Barry Allen (the main character) on the tv show The Flash, and The Flash is my all-time favorite tv show. Finally, I'd have a meeting with Caleb or Hayley LeBlanc. Caleb sadly died on October 1, 2015, but I still watch his family's Youtube channel Bratayley. Caleb was so funny and made the videos amazing. Hayley is Caleb's 8 year old younger sister who is also really funny and adorable and I would love to meet either of them. I would want to have a meeting with them at Six Flags so after the meeting I could spend the rest of the day with them.

My favorite field trip that I have gone on was to Springfield, Illinois last year. We went the day after we took the Constitution test. The only part about it that was bad was that we had to be at school by 5:00 in the morning. Once everyone was at school and got their lanyard to go to the museums and etc, we went outside to our coach buses and sat by our friends. The bus ride was so much fun! Everyone talked with their friends and we all watched movies. When we got to SpringField we went to museums, Abraham Lincoln's house, The Lincoln Tomb,  and even the Capitol building. On that day, my friends and I made so many great memories that I will never forget!
