Advice for the class 2016

8th grade isn't much different from 7th. There are a couple differences like the teachers, resource, and field trips. You will have some different teachers but some of the same. They will trust with more stuff and they will give you more room to work. On the other hand they will expect you to get your work done on time. If you don't there will be a punishment. For resource the new thing will be honors. Honors is for kids that get above a C in every class. I would suggest you get in it because it much more relaxed and you can talk with your friends without getting in trouble.  Finally the field trips. The field trips are so much better then the one you had in 7th grade. The best one is 6 flags. It was a blast this year. Everybody had fun and there is something for everybody to do there even if you don't like rides. So if you stay out of trouble that is something to look forward too. That is my advice for you for 8th grade.

Reflection

Over the year I have noticed what I'm good at and what I'm not so good at. I've become better at things like using a stronger vocabulary and understanding what a thesis is better. Those have made my scores go up a lot as the year went on. However at the beginning of the year I wasn't the best writer. One my first essays I scored a 70%. Luckily it didn't count as a score. Another thing is that my teachers helped me, by teaching me stuff that I was very good at and it helped a lot. I improved on my essays and on one of my last essays I scored a 94%. I finished the year with an A instead of a C-. That is how my year in LA went.

High School Experience

Last Thursday at the High School activity it helped me a little. The thing that it helped me with is I got to meet the Vice Principal. The thing that I liked about is that we got free ice cream and got to talk to a high school student that we will see in the halls next year.That is what I thought about the activity last Thursday.

Raymond's Run

This is Based on the character of Rosie for Raymond's Run.
When I was little all the other kids picked on me because I was different. Nobody ever wanted to play with me at the playground or anything. Then as I started to get older I would pick on other kids because of what it did to me when I was 5. Ever since I started I've been getting more friends and having people to hang out with. That is why Squeaky and me aren't friends.
One day, I was taking a daily stroll down the block with Gretchen. Then we saw Raymond with his sister Squeaky. I started to make fun of Raymond like I always do. Calling him stupid and making fun of his physical appearance. Then this time his sister Squeaky started to fire names back at me. It was what always happened when we ran into each other.
So after getting by her we decided to head back to my place and talk about what event we were going to do the following day at the races. I don't like to run so I don't enter I just go to watch Gretchen. She never wins because of the girl I despise the most.
The following day I went to watch Gretchen at the races. Of course I saw Squeaky and her brother there. They were just minding there own business so I let them be. It was race time so I set up to the side of the track and watched. Like always Gretchen didn't win but it was a fun day. That day was good also because I grew a little respect for Squeaky because I saw her watch her brother for the first time in my life.

My New Book

Today we went to the library to find a book to read for an essay. After searching for a book I finally just gabbed the first one I could find. After checking it out I decided to read the back. I found the book Redwall is about a mouse that has to set off on a journey for a legendary weapon. It should be a fun read if I can ever start reading.

Spring Break

On day 3 of our trip we went to Sea World. We have planned to go to the shows and go one a couple of rides. The Shamu show wasn't the best but there were some cool parts in it. The only bad part about the show is the trainers couldn't get in the water and swim around with the whales.  I think the reason they don't get into the water anymore is because of the accident that took place last year. But they are making a new show and maybe that one will be better so if I go back again maybe I'll see that show and like it a little more. That is something I did in the past week.

How will I go down in history?

I would like to be a person that will be remembered as a good friend. I have control of this because if I'm not a good friend now then they won't remember me by that.  I think that I will remember this school year 10 years from now because it is the last year before I enter high school. I don't know what others will remember me for but hopefully it is for something good.
