The Time Has Come

          Dear my amazing class of 2018 and welcome everyone else to this momentous day. We have truly all made it. Words cannot begin to describe how amazing each and everyone one of you are. This year and all the years at golf have been absolutely amazing, beginning from the J.K Rolling Joke that Mia was late in, ending with spending the last day with you guys on the stage of Niles North. You guys make me want to come to school and wake up in the morning, and that's saying a lot because getting up in the morning is hard. I feel so proud to be sharing this school with such hilarious, awesome people. 
         The truth we all have to face is, all good things must come to an end. I knew this day would be amazing, but, I always thought leaving this school would be easy, and going to high school would just be another day, but with all of you it makes it harder to leave this place. We've been here for 4 years, growing up and getting to know each other more, and more, and I can't wait for all of you to have amazing dreams and go places. Remember to always dream big and you can make it. The good parts at golf and the bad, I will remember it all. Starting from 5th grade and the Daily Geo, to 6th grade and Daily Dazzle, then 7th grade with Mr. Gilman fencing with students, and finally 8th grade, graduation.
        Thank you to all the teachers making everyday a fun day to be in school. With the jokes and the games, you guys entertained us and got us learning at the same time, which is probably hard to do with teens, but the teachers especially did an amazing job getting us prepared for high school. I don't know what I would've done without you guys. We have all came so far and all of you can make it. I'm going to miss all of you so much, but I hope all of you feel special on this overwhelming day. Congratulations to the class of 2018. 

The End...Or The Beginning?

"Endings are not always a bad thing, It just means something new can begin." and "Too many friendships end with, "we just stopped talking." 
I picked these two quotes because they go together really well. Ending aren't always a bad thing since maybe you were coming out of something bad, or something just didn't work out, just like with friends. Sometimes friends have a great run, maybe for years, but it starts getting too extended and boring and even if you don't have a fight you just drift away. Maybe it's for the better and something new to start. Yes Middle School is ending at it's really sad, but it can also be seen as a good thing. We finished a block of our life at school already and now we're headed to a more older and mature place: High School. Something ends and something new begins. We get to go to this new place and experience new things. It's quite amazing how things just work out like that, something ends and something new begins. I'm going to miss GMS with all my heart, but it's going to be a amazing experience to move on and go onto to the next chapter in my life. 

Lots of Food

Food, food, food. I love it, you love it. We all love it, but some people are very very picky eaters. I'm certainly not one of those people except for one time. I remember when I was in 6th grade. It was a nice day, just the perfect temperature. There weren't any fruits to eat in the house besides cherries, and I never liked cherries. Like I had never tried them, but I just didn't like them. At the same time I was hungry, so I ate them anyways. Absolutely disgusting. I hated them. The one thing I will never eat will be cherries. Cherry flavored especially is disgusting, like cherry medicine or a cherry drink. Anyways whenever someone asks, "Do you want a cherry on your ice cream?" I'm just like, "Nope." The perfect meal would be anything besides a cherry. No really, I'm serious. The perfect meal would consist of probably some fruits, and probably a salad or some meat, and oh dessert. I will literally eat anything sweet. (except cherries ew) Most people say that they love food, but they don't notice that if they're very picky eaters then they can't say that. They love certain foods in there case, but I love food. Always have, always will. 

How to prepare for PARCC 101

So your PARCC testing is coming up, and you want to do great on it. Well welcome to how to prepare for PARCC 101.
The night before your PARCC testing don't eat anything because it's like a blood test and who needs to eat? Also stay up as late as you want on your Snapchat and Instagram because just like food who needs sleep. So after you're done pulling an all nighter. Skip breakfast or eat junk food your choice. Then just take your time, you don't even have to change your clothes just go to school in your pajamas. Then when you get to school late go to a random classroom (REMEMBER don't go to the classroom that your actually assigned to.) Even better go to a 5th grade classroom so you can just pass the test. When the teacher asks why your here just lie because lying is always the answer. Then take your test put random answers because who cares about PARCC. Then in a year when you get your results back, you will see that you got level 1 that means your number 1 as in your the best. Congratulations you're the best! 

Disclaimer: If you got to this sentence without crying and having a break down good job, just do the opposite of everything I said. :)

All's fair in love and war

"You must choose love. Always choose love."
Love is like a star, the brightest part of your day, or it could be a cloud the gloomiest part of your day. If people chose love...then things would be different. If people chose love then maybe bad world events wouldn't happen, like the holocaust. Some of Hitler's ancestors were Jewish, and he probably didn't have love for them, maybe if he had love things would be different.
All around the world there are people who love and they try to take away the hate in their lives. Those people see the glass half full and other people who don't believe in love usually hate and don't see the good in people and things. Love is a powerful thing and it can prevent big things. Most people marry for love, but some people may marry for money, I can tell you those people either getting a divorce or not living happy because they aren't living with someone they care about. Love on the other hand is a very different thing, you care about the person and you would do anything for them no matter what. You could find your long lost love. You always need love in your life, Love is like a long lasting loneliness, waiting to be found. You must choose love, Always choose love.

Dear Old Diary

2/24/2018
Dear Diary,
                  It's a Sunday and there's school tomorrow. Yay. I'm at home trying to concentrate while my brother is yelling in the background. Great way to get my work done. Anyways, I can't believe how fast this school year went, it literally feels like yesterday that it was the first day of 8th grade and I couldn't get used to my new locker. The first couple of days I actually ended up going at my old 7th grade locker.
                 To think that we're graduating in a couple months is just so overwhelming and exciting. I can remember the first day of 5th grade when it took me forever to open my locker, and now in just a couple months we're going to go to high school. There are lots of mixed emotions because high school is gonna be amazing, but still scary at the same time. Anyways I'll write more later, bye.

Home

Home. It could be a place, a object, or people. We use the word everyday. "I wanna go home." without even thinking what home ACTUALLY is. In the dictionary it says, "The place where one lives permanently especially as a member of a family or household," but this isn't necessarily true for everyone.  For me home is my family, it doesn't matter what the place is for me, it's the people that count. The actual house can be replaced, but your family can never be replaced. "Home is where the heart is," means where ever your loved ones are, that's home, and my home is my family.
