Cute Pictures before an Ugly Test.

     It is proven that cute pictures help before tests and since the PARCC test is coming up, here are some things I love as cute pictures.

A Tribute To A Very Special Person

   "When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure." In my life, in my past, not many people had made an impact on me or made me feel special. I would often feel lonely, I still remember the nights of crying. The feeling would send me into a dark abyss thinking, "Nobody likes me," or "I don't belong," and I would always search and reach out for one special person,  hoping I would find at least one. I felt like I was in a pool, drowning, while the others are enjoying themselves with another. I might or might not be visible to them, but I could see them clearly through the waters. I reached out for help, gasping for air, none wanted to save me. 
   Until eventually, there was one, my grandpa. He is mot here with me today, but I thank him. He was my life guard, he saved me from the deep and vast ocean of pain I was in. He gave me a lending hand when I needed he, he gave me support when I was down, he made me happy. Yes we did fight and yes we did argue, but he is the one who shaped me. I miss him, but I thank him a lot. 
   

A Magical Meeting?

   This week I was supposed to write about three famous people I would want to meet, but I'm not going to write about that, I am going to write why I would not want to meet famous people and why.

   Reason #1: I FEAR THE WORLD... I am not a social person at certain times and being with someone who I want to impress, is one of those times. Being judged has always been a problem for me because of past experiences and makes me refrain from showing who I truly am. Another one of those times is that when I do not feel welcomed, I tend to close in, it is another way of me feeling like I'm being judged. I AM WORKING ON IT THOUGH AND I GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL BE DIFFERENT BY HIGH SCHOOL.

   Reason #2: Nobody has inspired me significantly enough or that I know much about to make me want to meet them, of course if I had a role model, knew about someone, or randomly met a famous person of course I would want to be excited to see them and want to be with someone, but for this that is not the case.

   If anything I would want to see Jesus, God, a family member that had decease, or someone who will be significant in my future because these are the people I have many questions to ask and that have my interest. I would spend a whole day doing whatever we would want to do, but if I saw someone who will be significant in my future and it turned to be one of my best friends, I would have a sleepover because I've only been to one or have a vacation.

School Camping Field Trip ~ Story Time Sunday

Camp MacLean

   One of my many favorite field trips I have been on was when I went to Camp MacLean in seventh grade. It was my outdoor ed field trip for school. 

   We got to the camp after a very long ride and we found out where out cabins were. I was with many familiar people and I was with one of my favorite teachers. I was one of the first in my cabin and of course if you see a bunk bed you usually call dibs on the top bunk. Keep this in mind, this is very important. 

   We explored our cabin for a while and got settled, then we went to the dining hall.  They taught us how their food system was, eating lunch, and learning what activities we would do during this two day field trip. 

   To summarize how their food was during the trip, it was delicious and my table would keep coming up to get more and more. The cooks would get upset because she would see the same person come up and get the food for our table, not letting other tables have a chance to grab seconds, so we eventually switched people and went up for the food ever three minutes. One time they ran out of food because we went up too much.

  Another funny story was we were eating spaghetti and we were starting to cleaning up and I asked to pass the parmesan and the water because I wanted more water in my cup and more parmesan my for noodles. Instead of pouring water into my cup I poured my parmesan in the cup, so I went to get a new cup. As I was getting a new cup, my table decided to clean up and pour their cups of water into the pitcher and without realizing it poured the water in my cup and drank it... I only realized there was something wrong when I found a mushroom in my mouth.

   During this trip we had many fun activities and things to do like fishing where I barely hooked a fish by looking at a bunch of ducks and realizing my line was heavy and playing a huge game of capture the flag with the whole camp, girls vs. boys. The game ended in a tie, but the girls were near a win because of our idea to act like boys and sneak to the other side and of course after all activities, we had a huge fire, sang songs, and had s'mores.

   We eventually went to our cabin and at this point I went up my bunk to find a nest of  GIANT SPIDERS. As a result of freaking out I tried to get down, but I came to a realization that I didn't know how to get down a bunk bed and I fell off, landing on my friend Trisha. That night I ended up sleeping on two chairs with my coincidentally ironic spider blanket. 

   These are a few of my memories at Camp MacLean, but in conclusion, we had fun and somehow at the end my cabin called me Mom with a deceased husband of Roberto ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, but I'll save that for next time because this story time is already too long.

Movie Review - Nerve

   Nerve, is a movie about a high school senior girl who follows the rules by the book and is not the most outgoing person. Her friend, who is the complete opposite, persuades and builds her confidence to ask out her crush since middle school. The girl asks out her crush and in conclusion of being rejected, the girl decides to play this new internet dark web game crazy called "Nerve." This game is basically like truth or dare, but only that you can be a watcher or player and the public dares are 10x worse or even illegal. The girl joins as a player and as a player you have to complete these dares in a certain amount of time to earn money and go up rankings in the player scoreboard and by a certain time period the two top players go against each other to get a grand prize. In the first dare she meets an attractive boy her age and she learns he is a player too, so she joins with him. The girl is having a fun and thrilling time with her partner who she is falling in love with, but as the girl is going through these dares, breaking the rules, earning money, being recognized, and meeting other fellow players, she starts to realize what "Nerve" really is and why it is a dark web game.

All About the Music

   Music is very important to me. It connects people, It makes you feel emotions, It calms you down, It pumps you up, and It can heal you. Lately I've been listening to music because life has been tough, it is my escape from the world and gets me focused. It pushes the negativity away. You can ask anybody I know, I always have headphones on my head or around my neck when I can. 
   I think It's funny how people dislike some music or for example, different generations hate the next generations music, but personally I like them all. For example pop, rap, classical, country, etc. Here are some of the songs I've been listening to lately I've been listening to a lot of rap (only doing the two genres that I have been listening to the most):

Dear Former President...

      Hello George Washington, I am a fan of you. I admire that you were the first president of the United States of America. You lead the U.S. in independence and without that, we would be a totally different country. So I thank you for all you did and just to know how much we admire you. You might have not known it at the time but the were the start of something great.  So thank you for that...
