E-Learning

Today, I made a meme using http://www.makeameme.org/about what I am feeling about this big break. I honestly miss my friends and teachers. They make my day so much better and even though I hate to get up early I miss it. I get bored in the house and have nothing to do. I sit here all day on my phone and do nothing. I have went to the store 3 times in the past 2 weeks, and it is the only time I get out of the house. I miss going to school but not PE. I do not like to get sweaty my 2nd hour class. I then feel gross all day and I don't like that. I hope we get to go back to school soon.

New Years

My last year was was pretty exciting so here are some of the the things that I did, and some facts on how I am going to change my self this year.

        Last year was the year of having fun times with my friends.

        What was your favorite part of last year going to my grandma’s house. The reason why is because I was having the time of my life. My favorite part was because I got to see family that I hadn’t seen in awhile.

         What was your most successful story from last year is getting better at cleaning my room. I can now clean my room without my mom having to tell me to. My room is now clean most of the time.

          Describe last year in five words, what do these descriptions mean to you?

Boring- I didn’t really do much.

Happy- I got to spend time with my family

Sad- my grandma died

Adventurous-I went adventuring with my friends.

Exhilarating- I got a hedgehog.

          Set 3 plans and tell me how you will answer them.

I will read more – I will read 90 minutes a week.

I will get more exercise- I will run a mile a week

I will sleep more- I will go to bed at an earlier time.

          How can you improve your life for the new year? I will improve my new year by thinking more positive thoughts.

          This year will be the year of  making new friends and having fun with them. 

          If you could celebrate the new year from anywhere in the world, where would you go? I would go to Japan just because I would want to try their new foods. 

Taking Pictures

           I usually have no free-time, but when I do, I use it to take pictures.
         
 Normally, I take 100 pictures a week. My friends and I love to take pictures together, and sometimes I edit them to make them look rustic or anyway I think looks cool. Most of my pictures are action pictures. On the picture to the right, there is a yellow ladybug on a purple flower. This is one of my favorite pictures I have taken.

I think that this picture on the left is my best edited one. It's white with a blurred out back round, so this way, it makes you focus on the flower. I happened to take this one on my front porch, the first day of Spring.

             My very first action picture that was taken is on the right. It is two out of the three dogs I have. If you look closely, you can see that my yellow dog's tongue is out as she was trying to get up. I don't usually get good action pictures from my dog, so this is one that i'm pretty happy that it turned out well.





       Pictures is one of my passions, and here are some others that I have taken. The top left one is an edited flower. The pink clouds, then leaves, and lastly, flowers.

Shopping

Writing Goal: My goal is to capitalize more!

           The first time I went shopping, I had the best time running up and down the isles of the of the stores. As you continue reading, you will see why I love to shop.

           Going through the mall, I see all the people go by. I look around and can't decide what store to go to next. When I go to the mall, and see all the stores lined up, I wonder how I'm going to have enough time to shop in all of them. With all the money I have brought, there are bags weighing down my arms. Getting new items such as clothes makes me get new clothing ideas. You can mix and match clothes to get a look that fits you best. I love to get clothes, and I think that is my favorite thing to buy.
        Going shopping can give me something to do. You can also walk around the store and not even know your getting exercise. Unless you use and escalator to get to each store, then your legs will probably hurt from walking if you shop for quite a long time. When you go shopping with people, you can get a closer bond with that person or people. I'm usually with my mom or friends, and we go shopping almost twice a week! Normally my friends and I make funny jokes, run up and down the isles, and get yelled at a few times. My friends always say that we should go to Starbucks first and I agree because that is our favorite place to go. We have lots of fun, and that's why I love to shop anywhere or with anyone.
        
           To conclude, that is why I love to shop, and I think everyone should do it if you want to get closer to people you like to hang out with.

The holidays my family celebrate

                My family celebrates many holidays. One of them is Christmas. I love to celebrate Christmas because I love to give people gifts. Giving and seeing a smile on people's faces make me so happy. If I didn't get presents, I wouldn't care because Christmas is supposed to about love. My mom is always the first one awake. She wakes up at 4 a.m, but I wake up around 8 a.m. I think she gets more excited then I do!


               Another holiday we celebrate is Thanksgiving. Before we moved, we would have all of my dad's side of the family come over. Ever since I moved, It has just been my mom, dad, brother, and me. It has been a little boring but it's better than having no family at all. We usually play cards and watch football. We don't have a specific team that we watch, but we just like to spend as much time together as we can.



             

One more holiday my family celebrates is New Years Eve. My family and I go to a hotel  with my best friend from my old school. The hotel is really nice, and once we get settled in, we go out to eat. We usually go to a pizza place, then after we play cards and games. My friend and I go swimming and then we open Christmas presents since we can't be with each other for Christmas. Our families have lots of fun and we love to do this every year.

My emoji story

There was a man named Frank. He loved nothing more than his horses. He rode his horses everywhere. Frank was the only person that owned a horse in town. There was one time where he went to the store, and they let him take his horse in. Sadly, the store got burnt to the ground do to a robbery. There was a horse track at the scene and horse hair on the side walk. The police thought of who it could be but they just couldn't think. Frank saw the fire in the news paper and knew what he had to do. He got rid of his horses, took his fence down, and got a bike. He did that in the span of 2 days. As the police thought about it, they went to his house knowing it was him that burnt down the store. When the police showed up, they all they saw was a bike. They didn't even question him but walked off and went to look for people that owned horses, and they never found out who did it in the END!

Veterans Day

                When I was eight, I saw a commercial for Casey’s Pizza where a young boy bought a pizza for a solider who just came home from war and had no where to go. This image has stayed with me because I thought that everyone had a home. As I became older, I realized that a lot of veterans struggle, and that’s why we need to honor them every day…not just one day out of the year.

Did you know that veterans make up more than 12% of homeless? Many vets come home from war without any money, food, water, or home to go to. After what they do for us, they should get better treatment than that. Veterans do many things for us, such as they put their lives on the line, so we can live a free life. If we didn’t have vets, then we would not have the things we have today. You would not have the freedom to go to school or walk around town with your friends.  I’m not saying that all people treat veterans with no respect, because there is something called the honor flight.

What is the honor flight?  In 2005 Earl Morse, a physician assistant and a retired air force captain thought that veterans didn’t get enough recognition, so he decided that he wanted to pay his respect in some type of way. He then realized that most of the world war II members could not travel to Washington DC to see their memorial. So he called in 300 private pilots to see if they would take the veterans to the memorial. He thought that this is a respectful way to say thank you to all of the veterans and many of the vets that went of this flight have enjoyed it. The honor flight is a non-profit organization that transports U.S veterans to go visit memorials with no cost from the vets. There are 6 airplanes from Springfield that go out to each state at least three times a year and picks up Veterans. Earl takes the veterans out to lunch and then takes them to Washington to see memorials to honor the U.S vets that                                                                                                       have fought in the respective wars.

These are many reasons why you should always honor a veteran all the time and not just one day of the year, so thank a veteran the next time you see one and be thankful for everything they do for you.
