Graduation Speech

A famous author once said “don't cry because it's over,smile because it happened¨. If you do not know who the quote is by, I say you probably have heard his name before. His name is Dr.Suess.

My years at Golf and Hynes were some of the best years of my life. We all lose friends and we all go through tough times in our life but Golf has the most amazing  people that help you through it either it's a teacher or a friend but we all stick together like a big family. Golf is one of the most smallest schools going to Niles North but everyone who went to Golf remembers everyone they went to school with because our school is little but sometimes small is good.

Kindergarten, one of the best and most scariest days of my life. From letting go of butterflies in the garden and learning how to do math and read. It was one of the most important years of my life. I remember it was the year I  learned how to snap.

Third grade, when we started moving into different math groups and I remember when Mrs.Featherstone on Valentine's day made us write something nice about someone on each of their paper heart. I still remember the things people wrote about me. Back then Mrs.Featherstone was a teacher and that just shows how old we are all getting.

Now I'm going to skip to fourth grade where we did the fourth grade play and where I found out I love theater. I was a detective in the play. We had reading buddies, then when it was close to the end of fourth grade we took a trip to Golf and got cookies.

Moving to Golf was scary. So many new people came  but  it was exciting. I was in Mrs.Feinstein's RTI where we read The Giver and she said that she would take us to go see the movie when it came out. That was when  I actually started to enjoy reading. Now Mrs.Joyner has to yell at me to put a book down.

Our grade is kinda wild and crazy but our teachers put up with us and that's the best thing they can possibly do. I know that nothing is perfect but if  I had one word to describe my years at Golf, I would say perfect.

We are all going to miss every single teacher and staff at Golf because they do so much for us. So on behalf of the class of 2016, We are going to miss you.

Endings and Beginnings

This year is my last year at Golf and I feel like i'm leaving everything behind but i'm also starting a new school and everything going to change for me. New friends but I hope I keep my old friends and new teachers. My last month at Golf is going to pass by fast because there is so many things to do. Like the ABC countdown which starts this week and each day is something fun. Also there's our eighth grade dance and graduation, Camp McLean and so many other fun things.But were also getting ready for high school like finals. Everything we do this month is making me feel like we leave something behind each day but then get ready for the next. I'm ready to move on to high school but it means I have to leave golf.

testing

Tests are so stupid like what's the point of homework since we have tests. The way tests work is that people forget about it and study the night before and end up going to sleep late like at 2 am and then are late to school because they slept late and missed the bus. Then when it is time to take the test there too tired and can't even hold a pencil.They end up falling asleep during the test and fail it. Tests are just too stressful and cause anxiety which is bad for your health. I say we should get rid of tests. 

holocaust trip

HOLOCAUST

Going to the holocaust museum was really interesting and fun but it was also really upsetting because their explaining about all these people getting murdered and dying. Although I thought the whole thing was very interesting overall even though I had to walk to walk for 3 hours. We even got a survivor from the holocaust to come speak to us about his experience. He told us his story and showed us his tattoo from Auschwitz. I know a lot about the holocaust now because we are also learning about the holocaust in social studies. I really encourage for people to go to the museum because it's an amazing experience and you learn a lot. 

Diary Post

   

(point of view of someone who lived during the holocaust)

Dear Diary,
Today was an okay day.I went to school,played,went home and I learned a lot about "the Jews".
Mom says I should be happy that i'm not a Jew because Jews did bad things and now were getting back at them. Although I don't understand what's so terrible about them I mean one of my best friends was Jewish and he was never mean to anyone.Then my teacher told me he had to leave school and will not be returning but then again that happened with a lot of kids.What did they do? My dad always tells me he's serving his country and is proud to get rid of the "monsters". He says he's making it a better place for me. I don't believe it  I mean I want to he's my dad but I can't. Something about the whole thing makes me sick. My sister says they deserve to die. No one deserves to die. A couple weeks ago I saw an old women get hit by a Nazi just because she was Jewish. Surely my dad wouldn't do that. I no longer see the old women, I was hoping I could've told her that it wasn't bad to be Jewish. Also today I think I saw a car that was suppose to hold horses but instead there was like bones inside except they were alive and screaming. I'm only 10 so i'd like to say they were zombies because they were so skinny but I know better. They looked so unhappy I want to help them but father doesn't allow me to go near anyone with the star of David on there clothes. We live in a terrible world my father says but what I think the world that he thinks he's building is even worse.

Sincerely, 
Bruno 

School Post

I am really excited to graduate because we get to got to a new school. I'm excited to meet new people but at the same time it's stressful because most likely your friends won't be in your class but meeting new people is a good start to a new school."Make new friends but keep the old". Also it's really fun being near the end of the year because for our school theres this things called the abc countdown and it's basically the last 26 days of school for eight graders every day there's something fun.Like if its G for the day it would be like eat gum day.There's Beach Day on the letter B.There's also the eight grade dance i'm looking forward too. Also going to Camp Mclean which is when we get too stay 2 nights there.They serve us good food and there's ziplining there. We get a walkthrough of the whole school.It's where everyone in the whole school including teachers and staff stands outisde in the hallway against the walls and lockers while the eighth graders walk through the whole school dressed nicely and everyone claps. I cannot wait until May.

Quotation Post

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place.  And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love.  Always choose love.”  

For this quote it reminds me about the movie the notebook,because in the movie theres a man and a women who fell in love when they were very young.Allie(the girl)moved far away and her parents didn't approve of Noah (the guy).They didn't approve of him because he was poor and worked at a young age.He wrote to her every day for a year. Allie waited for him for seven years. During those seven years she became a nurse and healed a man who got injured during a war. Lon (the injured man) asked her out on a date. She said "lets wait until after your healed". So once he was healed he asked her out again. They ended up getting engaged,but then she saw a picture of noah in paper next to her dream house that he built.She decided to go see him again. So she did and she fell in love with him again, maybe she never stopped loving him.She had a choice and she choose him after a while. She couldn't leave her first love even if she did really like lon.She choose love.Thats why the quote reminds me about the movie the notebook.

"Steven"
Song Lyrics

Yeah, look
Let me tell you about a kid named Steven
He's slowly running out of things to believe in
Every couple of months his mom leaves him,
for no good reason his step-dad beats him
Not too many friends, only ever had a few of them,
but recently they don't want anything to do with him
Always eating lunch in the bathroom stall,
he just wants to feel normal and be cool again, yeah
Always feeling like the outcast, he's been going crazy ever since his dad passed
He needs guidance and advice but instead
he only has breakdowns and flashbacks of the car crash uh
It's been getting harder everyday, if he was still around everything would be OK
'Cause his dad was always the light at the end of the tunnel,
but now that same damn tunnel is looking dark and grey
He keeps quiet in the back of the class
and when the bell rings Steven hurries home fast
scared to death the other kids will kick his ass on the long walk home
'Cause its happened in the past so
He's getting used to the black eyes and fat lips
but all he's got is a fake smile and cut wrists
Wishin' he could walk right up to them and show them the scars
and say look you're the reason that I've done this
Maybe they would finally understand and go back to how it was before it all began
But he's just a little different so they taunt him and they beat him
Yeah it's all just fun and games, they don't give a damn, yeah

Now he started stealing pills from his mom
8-9-10 at a time and now they're gone
and maybe for a moment all his problems seem to fade,
but the high fades too after not too long
and that's when it really sinks in and that's when it hits him
that these god damn drugs won't fix him
Curled up on the floor, can't take it anymore
Now he's talking to God 'cause he's the only one that gets him
On his knees, looking up, can't stop crying
"God I know we haven't talked in a long time
but this time I really need you. Please God help me, say something
just give me a sign, because now I'm falling apart and
I don't think that I can do it. Please God, give me the strength
to pull through it. Tell me, Should I give up? I could end it all right now.
I just don't know if I'm brave enough to do it.
'Cause there's gotta be a better way than suicide.
Try to wait it out, give it time, you'll be fine.
But it's been so long and I still haven't been able to get rid
of all the thoughts that I feel inside. So sick, so angry, so mad
and to top it off no one even knows that"
That's when he stood up, wiped his tears, walked over to his desk
and got a pen and a notepad
He just couldn't see it getting any better
So on a cold dark night in December, Steven knew exactly what he had to do
But first he sat down and wrote a couple letters
One to his step-dad, one to his mother,
couple to the kids at school, one to his brother
Bringing them the pain that they once brought him
tear drops on the paper one after another
Yeah, I hope that you all feel guilty.
'Cause I'm broken now and you can't heal me
And now you're all an accomplice in murder
each and every one of you has chipped in to kill me
So the reason that I'm writing you this evening,
is to say goodbye and to tell you that I'm leaving
But don't hold your breath 'cause I ain't never coming back
Sincerely yours, Steven

My baby

Ricardo: Hello I'm ricardo and let's just say I'm not a very attractive child. I get bullied at school alot and it makes me sad. It's not even my fault i'm like this. Well I don't really look like either of my mom's.At school people make fun of me because I have a tail and others things too. I hate being different. My school councler says I should get a outside side of school therapsit. Should I?

My Mother Arlette: I had a baby with Maddy Cox. His name is Ricardo Cox. He has long curly orange hair, horns, and a halo. He has fat lips like kylie jenner. He has a fat body and 2 toes on each foot. Oh and he has a tail. Ricardo has trouble fitting in at school because he has a tail. People think he's scary. They won't go near him. As a mother I feel terrible about his situation. It wasn't his fault he was born like that it was mine and my wife Maddy. He is a very good child he has a halo but then at times he can be a naughty child, his horns make him bad. I don't know what to do about him. Should I get a therapist?

The therapist: I think he should stop worrying about his looks. He needs to make more friends like him in the same situation. He could put makeup on if he truly believes he can't do anything

Be yourself

Food Post

A food that I learned to make with my mom is tamales.Its so fun and it's a Mexican tradition.What you need to make tamales is tamale leafs,chicken,dough,and hot sauce.First you would lay out the tamale leaf on your hand get a chunk of dough and spread it across the tamale leaf then you would take chicken strips and put it on top of the dough and add the sauce.The more sauce you add the spicier it is.The fun part is that it gets messy and you get to have fun making them.Like I purposely put dough on my sister's face and it was so fun.Making tamales would be more for special occasions because it takes so long to make.It's worth it though.Watching everyone try so hard like even my little brother tried and it was so funny and adorable and seeing my mom get frusterated while watching me mess it up its so funny.It's my favorite thing about holidays like for new years we made tamales really early in the morning and we stayed up really late eating them.Starting out a new year eating tamales with friends and family is great.FYI The second picture is not actually a picture of my family.

Topic creds to bella

(spoiler) The boy movie review

The boy is about a family that has a "child' leaves and puts a lady in charge.They give her rules that she must not break.(or else she dies or something bad happens)She ends up breaking all the rules.I don't know what happens at the end.
I liked it.I think by just seeing the trailer is that i've never seen any other scary movie like it so I didn't know what to expect.It's not like the purge or like the  exorcism where you know what's going to happen.
What I didn't like is that they give so much away in the trailer but the end,but I still want to see it.

New years

New years:
One goal for 2016 is to be able to plan my quincenera completly and learn how to dance,because I honestly have no idea what i'm going to do.Like my friend berny she's having hers a month before me already has everything planned.I have to learn how to dance really well because in a quincenera you have to do a suprise dance and it's suppose to be good.

Christmas post

A gift I would like for Christmas is a giant Costco teddy bear because I want to use it as a bed and I like cuddling.

Debate topic

Approximately 20 thousand teen births did not happen when the show 16 and pregnant started,online teens are going on social media and searching for things like how do i get birth control. The popularity of the show is rating wise:most popular show on mtv when new episodes are on But then again mtv said they the point of the  show was to show the reality of teen pregnancy and its as a warning sign.Tv shows need to be entertaining enough to bring viewers back each week.They fill the show with drama and violance thats more like a telenovela.Girls who have been abused or neglegated are the ones who are inspired by the show.But the only way to do that is to have a baby.Teen Preganancy has become a job.
