Life

Oh my heck dude I feel like I am growing up way to fast! The other day my mommy told me that I needed to pick out the classes I want to take for high school. That wasn’t the scary part though. It is just school and classes. The scary part was that I picked classes for all three years at high school and realized I have three years to actually grow up… I have three years to get good grades so that I can get a scholarship. I’m already stressing about grades and I have a feeling I am going to stress a whole lot more next year. My mom said a lot of my classes that I signed up for next year are hard so I will have to be on top of everything next year. Um I also just realized that in nine months I will be sixteen… That means I can officially have a boyfriend. I don’t know if I’m ready for it. I know I have always complained that I want to be older and that I want to do this and that, but now it’s here and I think I’m getting scared. For high school one of your credits is to take drivers ed, I haven’t even got my permit yet. Yeah I have driven the car a couple times, but that was just in a church parking lot. I am scared for all of this. My life is speeding past me. I can’t get a hold of it or slow it down. It is too late. I should have listened to my older friends who told me to enjoy life while I still have it. I still want to be my mommy and daddy’s little girl! I have three years and then what do I do? Will my parents kick me out? Will I be okay on my own? I know I still have three years to figure this all out, but three years can go by super fast. Some of my friends that I swear were seventeen just last month are now in college or they have kids and are married. Where did the time go? I guess I will have time to think it over. I hope I am able to keep up the good grades so I can get a scholarship. I want to be able to support a family when I am able to have one. Even if I am a stay at home mom I should always be prepared with a fall back occupation. You never know what will happen. I want to be able to have the time of my life and take it slow from this point on. Live life as if you were to die tomorrow and dream as if you’ll live forever. I hope I will have the best of luck and be able to enjoy life and live it to the fullest, because this life is all we have. Oh by the way, never give up on your dreams! They are what make you you. If you fulfill your dreams that will just make a stronger you. So keep believing and you will make it happen.

Its Second Semester

It is finally second semester!!! It is getting closer to the end of the year! The more I think about no school or homework the more excited I get!!! Last semester was probably a lot harder than this semester is going to be, or at least I hope so! Last semester I had crazy classes. This is how my schedule went:

               1^st Seminary                               5^th English

                2^nd Science                                  6^th Clothing

                3^rd Math                                       7^th Choir

                4^th Geography                            8^th Gym

Oh my A-days were crazy most of my core classes were scheduled that day and I had hard teachers. Seminary was probably my favorite class for A-days last semester. The teacher I had in science drives me crazy!!! She got mad at me for a whole lot of crap I didn’t do… So whatever, I’m out of her class now! Wahoo! Math oh my it’s math and I do NOT understand it like at all. I still don’t really understand it. :/ Geography was fun especially because my class mates made it fun because they were all goof offs. So that was great.  B-days were mostly my electives; I loved my B-days except for gym!!! Holy crap I hated that class so freaking much! English was fun because I love to write and it seemed pretty easy to me so English life was pretty amazing. Clothing was super fun at times and other times I wanted to shoot myself in the face because it was so stressful!!! Although the class was fun and stressful it taught me great things that may come in handy later on in life! Choir is so laid back!!! Easy A right there! :) Then there was gym, it wasn’t too bad but when my teacher mad us run it was like awe why don’t you just shoot me? I love to work out and be fit but holy crap you don’t just have to run to be fit. That is one thing that bugs me about gym and another thing that bugs me is that my classmates were goof offs so he would make us run longer. :/ Last semester was hard. I look back and want to ask myself why, but I think it was just some of the teachers and assignments the teachers gave me. This semester just barely started, but I think I like it already! :) My schedule goes like this:

1^st Seminary                  5^th Science

2^nd Math                         6^th Foods

3^rd Geography               7^th Choir

4^th English                      8^th Teen Living

  I love it!!! I have new classes, new teachers, and lot of new people in my classes. I already feel like the rest of this year is going to be the bomb.com!!! Oh and then school, we only have like 5 more months and for some of that time I won’t be there! I’m so excited, but I’m kind of scared to miss school because of the all makeup assignments I’m going to have to do. This semester I want to get better grades than I got last term, so I really want to keep that up and I hope this trip I’m going to be on won’t kill the grades. But all that we can do is see when the time comes! I won’t myself worry about that until the time comes, but I have a feeling the rest of this semester is going to be good! :) I hope it is! Wish me the best of luck!

                                                                                Love me!

Book Review: Walk to moons

                “Don’t judge a man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins.” This is a quote that describes Salamanca’s story. Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech is a great story that illustrates a great moral. Salamanca the main character, who is also known as Sal, tells a story inside of a story which set the book apart from others. Sal doesn’t understand what happened throughout most of the book, then she “walks through other people’s moccasins” and understands most of the things that happened. The lessons that Sal learned throughout the book created a great moral.

                After Sal meets Phoebe in Euclid, Ohio she gets a great deal of events. Sal begins to have a big imagination like Phoebe. Sal and Phoebe get these mysterious letters that they thing a lunatic is setting on Phoebe’s porch. The letters left on Phoebe’s porch teach a good lesson and have a good meaning. “Don’t judge a man until you’ve walked two moons in his moccasins.” That quote that the girls get on the porch has a great meaning to it. The quote is telling them to give people a chance and don’t judge someone before you get to know them. “Everyone has his own agenda” That is telling them that not everyone can drop everything and be there for them, or that some people will be gone before you want them to be and you just have to get over it. “In the course of a lifetime, what does it matter?”  Sometimes there is a reason for what happens and soon enough you will learn that they don’t really matter. “You can’t keep the birds of sadness from flying over your head, but you can keep them from nesting in your hair.” You are the one that controls your attitude, not what comes and hits you at that very moment. All these letters that the girls get tell them something that can help everyone if they take those things into consideration.  The quotes have great meaning and it is great because it ties into the story Sal tells which is inside of another story.

                Having Sal tell a story inside of another story is what sets the book apart. The story starts out with Sal talking about the road trip with her grandparents, and then it turns into Sal telling the story of Phoebe while she is on the road trip. Which is the story and the story of Phoebe is the story inside of the story. That is what sets the book from other books. That is one of the reasons I liked the book. The book had great morals and lessons that most people need to learn and some people don’t understand some of the lesson the book teaches until later on.

                Sal doesn’t understand things at first. She wonders why her mom left. She wants to know why they had to move to Euclid, Ohio. Sal doesn’t understand a lot of those things, but as she becomes friends with Phoebe she starts to learn some things about herself. She learns the things about herself through Phoebe’s problems. Sal grew and understood a little bit more, but the thing that made it hit her was the road trip with her grandparents. The trip had its ups and downs, but she learned it all and understood everything after that. Sal learned the things she didn’t want to believe were true. Sometimes that is the hardest thing to do. Although it was true Sal got over it and was happy. All it took was for Sal to walk in other people’s moccasins to change her attitude.

                The book was a great book and I would recommend it to anyone who is having a hard time and feels a little lost. It helps you to look on the brighter side of life and it is great. The book has a great moral, Sal’s spirit lifts up others. I liked that Sal’s story was a story inside of a story.  Throughout the book Sal was learning and that is what happens to us as we go on through our road trip called life.
