7th grade Reflection

When I first arrived at school, I thought I was going to have the worst school year ever. Whenever I walked into my classes, I couldn’t talk to anyone. I was extremely shy and didn’t answer any of the questions the teachers had asked. I had thought that all my teachers were strict. I soon realized that all my teachers had turned out to be extremely nice teachers. They had helped me in tough situations like when I couldn’t find the answer to a problem or when I was just having trouble with the class. They were very compassionate and caring to each and every one of their students.

By October, I realized that my life had gone the opposite direction that I thought it would go. School was fun…at times. The teachers had taught me new things day after day. They never acted like they were sick of our class or like they didn’t want to be at school. They were always there for us. Eventually, I figured out that my school year wasn’t as bad as I thought it would turn out to be. During my 7th grade year, I have learned that I really don’t have good time management. I also learned that you need to be willing to work hard if you want to earn the good grades your parents always like to see.

As the year comes to a close, I will be missing my 7th grade teachers with their kind-heartiness(if that is a word). If I had to do 7th grade again, I don’t think I would change anything except to work a little harder in class discussions with all my classmates. I would tell the 7th graders next year that they should be expecting great teachers and tell them to try to make new friends.

My multi-paragraph story

Your childhood is the best place to be in my opinion. Without your childhood, where would you get excitement and new opportunities?
Nowhere… Exactly. When you are grown up and mature, you don’t really have the time to have fun and play around like your childhood. You just work and work and work. Same routine day in and day out. In contrast, when you are in your childhood, you play around and do whatever you want with no real routine. That is why you should have lots of fun in your childhood while you can. You should maybe even make a bucket list for your childhood.

Being an adult sounds like the most boring thing to be. If no one had fun I don’t think I could live for even a minute. I can’t imagine a world where children couldn’t be able to play and have fun. Could you? The world would a gloomy, and sorrowful place. No funny jokes, and no laughing. All in all, I think living your childhood to the furthest extent is good because you may never be able to play outside again.

Media and Memory

When I was little, I just couldn’t do without my special teddy bear. I had gotten it after I lost my first tooth when I was 4 years old. It was the most precious toy that I would treasure and play with all day and sleep with all night. It had a bright red nose extremely fluffy hair. While I had it, I would never let go. My mom would want to wash it, but I didn’t want to give her it for even a split second. Since I had always been afraid of the dark when I was little, this teddy bear had gotten me through my problems. That’s why I couldn’t let anyone touch it. I thought it could get me through even more fears, until I knew I was too old for it. Without my special teddy bear, I would probably be scared to open my closet every night.

Student Blogging Challenge Week 2

Yeehaw!!! Texas is such a great state. Texas is known as the lone star state because the Texas flag has only one star. Texas is an extremely fun place for everyone to visit.

One reason Texas is a fun place to live in is because of its awesome sports team. You can cheer on Texas’ football, basketball etc. teams. They are always fun to watch them win against the opposing team. Just last night, they had just beat Arizona St. in the March Madness. I think that even though Texas doesn’t always have the greatest rank, they have sportsman-like players that care about just having fun. That is why they are fun to watch if you live in Texas. Furthermore, The ” Shrine of Texas History”( Alamo Mission ) is always a fun place to go to. Texas had lost the war that had taken place here, but they had lost it in a brave way. I think the Alamo Mission is a fun place to go to because you can experience what positions the texans were I when they fought the Mexicans. These are just 2 reasons Texas is a fun place to visit. There is much more for you to explore in this amazing state.

All in all, visiting Texas is a good choice because of its huge selection of fun things to do. Imagine if you could live in Texas forever, wouldn’t it be awesome?

My Expository Writing

Describe why swimming is hard.

“I’m too tired I can’t go in anymore, I am too tired!” Swimming can be pretty chalenging.

For starters, some people are afraid of the water and you can’t blame them. The first time I saw a pool, I was pretty scared too. I thought I would drown. But when I jumped in, it felt like heaven beneath my feet. Ah! It fells so good. All in all, swimming is just plain hard.

In addition to that, swimming requires lots of endurance. Your body gets tired very quickly. For example, Olympic swimmers need to train hard so there endurance improves.

As long as you keep trying, hard things will be accomplished. Maybe I should start swimming with a buoy?
