Graduation Speech

"Your off to great places. Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting so get on your way." by Dr. Seuss
                 On the first day of school we were all excited to start "climbing" up the mountain of life. The mountain would be full of struggles, responsibilities and exciting adventures but we were al prepared to start our climb knowing that our wonderful and intelligent teachers would be right by our side helping us through challenges. When we graduated from elementary school we finished climbing the first mountain in our life. We were all ready for the challenges that would come our way while climbing the next mountain in our life because our wonderful parents and teachers had prepared us. On the first day of middle school we started our climb. Throughout our years we made new friends and worked with new teachers. We had so struggles like a lot of homework and stressing for big tests like the U.S constitution test, the Illinois constitution test and finals but we made it. Now we all stand here together prepared for what new challenges high school will come with but we are also excited to start climbing our way through high school. Thank you to all my wonderful teachers, friends and family that have stayed with me through everything and helped me though every challenge that I have concurred.   

Letter To 5th Grade Self

I remember being a 5th grader. I would always look up at the 8th graders and think wow their so cool I wish I could be a 8th grader. Now I'm wishing I could be a 5th grader again. 8th grade is nothing that I thought it would be. First off their is SOOOO much more homework. In 5th grade the only homework we got was spelling and now I do homework for over an hour every day. The home work is not that easy either. Also there are way more tests and quizzes in 8th grade. The only tests we would do is spelling each week or a math test and now in 8th grade their are finals and at least one test every week. Don't wish to be a 8th grader yet. You also have a lot more responsibilities so younger self do you still wish to be a 8th grader?

"Endings and Beginnings"

I cant believe that I am almost graduating 8th grade. I feel like just yesterday I was a kindergarten. My goals for the end of 8th grade are simple. I hope to get good graders on my report card so I can end the school year proud of myself for finishing my years at elementary school and middle school. I also hope to grow as a person and to be prepared for high school. I look forward to the summer as well. My goals for the summer are to keep finding great books to read and to enjoy not having to wake up at 7 AM everyday. I am also looking forward to spending more time with my family. I am sad to graduate yet happy for summer to come.

Its's Complicated

School is very complicated currently. We have so many projects and homework assignments. In every class we have at least one project to do and I think my brain is going to pop! In Spanish class we have a big project which is were we have to do a whole skit only speaking in Spanish. It's complicated because each group member has to talk at least two minutes and we have three members in my group including me. So ours has to be at least six minutes long! In science class we have to do a project on the human body. In social studies we have to write a two page  research paper about a civil rights topic. Then in May we have finals which is just "great". School is very hard and complicated for me right currently. On the plus side we are also learning about Greek mythology which is very fun and interesting. But school is still complicated.

My favorite holiday

I love every holiday but my favorite one is Easter. Every year we go to my grandparents house after church. My grandma always cooks amazing delicious food. My favorite part is being able to hang out with my whole family especially my baby cousin! I also love seeing all the designs and different colors of the eggs that we decorated. Over all I just love being with my family. That is why Easter is my favorite holiday.

Tribute to my sister

Kristina, you are crazy, smart and energetic. You are the best sister anyone can have.  Whenever I am down you always know how to cheer me up even though you are annoying at times (mostly always) but I still love you. I remember when we were little and we would always play dress up with our mothers clothes and I remember when I saw you at your first soccer practice I knew that you would be amazing at soccer(which you are!) never doubt  yourself! When I was going through a rough period in life you always stood by me at made me a better person. You can always trust me with anything and I will always stand by you and support in whatever you do. So even though you are annoying most of the time you are also intelligent, kind and amazing at every thing that you do.
