I Am Thankful For


I am thankful for many things. There are so many that I can't even list all of them. But here are a few.

I'm thankful for my brother because he makes me laugh a lot, he's always there for me to talk to, and he's my best friend.
My mom because she's also there for me to talk to and she understands me. Also, I can learn from her mistakes.
My dad. He's always there to give me advice and comfort me when I need him. He's also really fun and I love to sit and listen to all kinds of music with him.
♥My dog because life would not be as fun without her. She's always really happy and very hyper.
♥All of my family. My aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents because they all play a different and very important role in my life.
♥I'm thankful for my friends. I would be very sad without friends. So, I'm thankful I have many girl friends and guy friends.
♥I'm thankful for life. Life is full of opportunities and dreams to follow. Even though
it gets hard sometimes, life is mostly a fun experience no matter how hard it may
be sometimes.
♥I'm thankful for chocolate. It may sound really corny but chocolate makes me
happy :) So, I am very thankful for that.
♥The beach. Sometimes we just need a place to relax and I think the beach does
that a lot for me.
♥And most importantly I'm thankful for God because he loves me and will love
me forever and because thanks to Him, I have all of these things to be thankful
for.

Volleyball!


So, I signed up for volleyball for rec. Its been fun so far. We play on Mondays and Wednesdays. I'm on team two. We've been doing pretty good, but not like AWESOME! We won I think the first game, but the second one we lost. Tonight I'm going again and hopefully it'll be good. I hope I'm not too tired though because I'm already REALLY tired! But the break is coming soon. Anyway, yeah volleyball has been really fun.

This goes with my mission statement because it's about me playing a sports.

Renweb

I always check renweb at home. I probably should more often now that I know how effective it is for me. I try to use it as much as I can, but sometimes I don't have time. So, I just write homework on my planner and use renweb just to check my grade.

Free Rice =)


This week I went on a website called Free Rice. It tests your knowledge on different subjects and asks you questions. If you answer them right, you donate 20 grains of rice to third world countries. So I took those tests on different subject. My subjects were Spanish, French, and Italian. I did pretty good, especially on the Spanish one. I donated over 2,000 grains of rice on that one. This was a win-win situation for me because not only was I helping other people, but I learned things too.

Tests

Friday, November 7, we had a Bible test. I didn't get a good a grade, but I did study. I did worse than I thought I would do. But, yesterday we had a science test and I did better than I did on my Bible test. I got a B+. I hope I get a better grade on my Bible next time.

This goes with my mission statement because its about my grades and I want to do better.

Inspirational Quotes


♥Life is not measured by 
the number of breaths we take, 
but by the moments 
that take our breath away.

♥Better Times Will Come. Don’t let the pain of one season, 
destroy the joy of all the rest. Don’t judge life by one difficult 
season. Persevere through the difficult patches; And better 
times are sure to come some time or late. 

♥“Forget the mistakes of the past 
and press on to the greater achievements 
of the future.” 
Christian D. Larsen 






Academy Days

So, Sunday and Monday, we had academy days at HVA. It was kind of boring, but then again, it pretty much always is. Ha ha. Anyway, we had to go around the classes with the 7th and 8th graders or different elementary schools around the area and pretty much show them what each class was like. We had to do quizzes and things like that in each class and then the person that got the highest score would get a price later. It was interesting. I didn't get any prices=( Oh well. I did last year=) But yeah, this goes with my mission statement because I met new people and talked to kids that would be coming to our school next year.
