From the first time that I walked into Hynes on the first day, all the way to when I walk out of Golf the last time, this school district has taught me so much about not just education, but also about myself.
Hynes was an amazing time for me, everything was so easy, fun, and all of the teachers were so great. My favorite part of Hynes was definitely all of the teachers, they made my life so much more fun. I loved all of my teacher, but I would like to talk about 2 of my teachers.
Firstly, Ms. Reiner. Ms. Reiner is probably one of the sweetest people. She made me so excited to go to 1st grade every day, and I even loved hanging out with her out of class, like in lunch bunches with Kylie.
The second teacher who I would like to talk about is Mrs. Mlynski. Mrs. Mlynski made my last year at Hynes so much fun, and she helped us get prepared for Golf. I love Mrs. Mlynski so much because, she was always so positive, and she was always so excited to teach for us.
Once I finally graduated Hynes, I moved onto golf.
Fifth through seventh grade changed me a lot in different ways. I became smarter about myself, but I still made mistakes. I learned a lot over those three years, but that doesn't even compare to 8th grade.
Wow, eighth grade. I can't even express with words how much I loved eighth grade. Eighth grade was the best year out of all 9 years that I have been in this district, so I would like to thank all of my teachers. My teachers taught me so, so much, but my class did too.
I have been with the same class for around 5 years now. Our class has an indescribable bond. We have too many crazy jokes, and distorted stories, so I would like to thank them for making me laugh constantly, and just being themselves daily.
Lastly, I would want to thank all of my 8th grade teachers. Every single one of my teachers has done so much for me, and I'm so grateful for that. Mrs. Joyner, Mrs. Maldonado, Mrs. Conejo, Mr. Carris, Mr. Carro, Mr. Atwood, Mrs. Vojak, Mrs. Brown, Ms. Gould, and Ms. Boyle, thank you for all that you'd have done for me, thank you Golf for giving me the best experience, and thank you to everyone else who was in my life at Golf.

DEAR 5TH GRADE ME.
Firstly, why were you so annoying?
I guess that all 5th graders think that they're "cool" because they just entered middle school, but really, why? You were loud and annoying and you never used your mind. I wish that you just stopped for a minute, and thought about it for a second.
You were so young.
Oh, you were. You thought that the world was an easy place and that it revolved around you. I wish that you realized that the world is a hard place and it's going to take a lot to be successful and that you can't do whatever you want.
I don't have very much to say to you, but the last thing that I would like to say is, I'm glad I'm not like you anymore.

ENDINGS AND BEGINNINGS
As you may know.. The year is about to end.
I have been in the same school for 9 years, and it's ending in around 3 weeks.
So, the end of the year. Firstly we have community hour(s). So far I have done 40 minutes out of the hour that I'm supposed to do, and I'm going to do the last 20 minutes on Tuesday. Next, our proficiency test. A proficiency test is a test that we have for math class where it's everything that we have learned in math class for the past 2 years, but our math teacher said it's easy. After our proficiency test, we have Camp MacLean. I already wrote about camp one of my first posts, but basically, it is an overnight camp where we do lot's of fun activities, and I'm very excited to go. After camp is graduation rehersal, finals for all subjects, and then the last day of school. Finally.
After school, I just have more school. Summer school. I'm not failing any classes or anything, I actually have straight A's, but I am doing optional summer school to get it out of the way so I don't have to do it during the school year, and those classes are health and public speaking. Yes, I know, two awful classes, but it will just make my life easier during the year.
I honestly can't believe all of this is happening now.

IT'S COMPLICATED
Wow. I know that it's only eighth grade, but wow.
I don't really know how I feel about graduation. I have been with the same around 70 people my whole life, and that's about to change in around two months.
Yes, I'm excited to start at a new school. More people to be around, clubs, sports, and everything else at Niles North. Being in a small school is hard because sometimes when you want to meet new people, you can't because you already know everyone, but at the same time, I have made a lot of great friends. Being with the same 21 people in my class 7 hours a day makes you very close to them, which leads me to my other side.
No, I'm scared to go to Niles North. Like I was saying before, I've been with the same people for 9 years. New people every day will be hard. Our class is so much fun because we have so many bonding moments as a class, and when you're with strangers every period, it won't be the same.
Back to graduation. On the last day of school, it's going to say goodbye. Not just to our grade, to our whole school. The last couple of weeks is also going to be hard. Finals, proficiency test, graduation, service hours, projects, papers, and the graduation itself. There's a lot of stuff to do before we graduate.
Overall, I know that graduating is going to be a lot of work, but it will be worth it, and I'm excited for the new school.

FIJI
Hmm.. Okay, I've got it.
Since we are allowed to talk about anything in this week's blog, I would like to write about a place in the world that I would like to visit.
I think that the best place in the world to visit is probably Figi. Figi is a country with over 300 islands, in the South Pacific. I think that Fiji is so great because it is so beautiful. Fiji is mainly known for its beaches. The beaches in Fiji are simply just breathtaking. I love beaches, I think that they are the most fun place to be (and I can get tan which is VERY RARE), and they just make vacations so much more fun.
On the beaches and near the beaches, there are beach houses. Spending a vacation in a beach house on the because is a lot better than spending it a hotel. I don't usually like hotels, I think that they take away the point of a vacation because you can't access the beach easily.
Living in Fiji would probably get old, but staying on a vacation for a week definitely wouldn't.

TRIBUTE?
Usually, tributes are for dead people, but thankfully no one in my life has died yet, so I will make a tribute for an alive person who hopefully will stay alive for a long time.
Many of my friends came and left throughout the years, but one particular friend never did. Not just a friend, more of a best friend. We've been through mostly ups, some downs, and we're just as close, maybe even closer, after around 5 whole years.
There are lots and lots of memories. From falling off a hoverboard, to falling on a cheese stick, to giving me a black eye, to throwing little girls over fences because their fence wouldn't open during extremely dangerous weather. :)
I think that the main reason that I wrote a tribute to my friend is because, even when I don't want to smile she makes me smile, and I can always be myself around her.
So here is my tribute to Jessica, my best friend, who is not dead, and hopefully I won't have to write one for someone who is dead for a long time.

MAGICAL MEETING
If I got the chance to meet 3 famous people, dead or alive, I would want to meet Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wasilewski (more commonly known as Paul Wesley), and John Green.
Firstly, I would want to meet Ian and Paul because they are the major roles in my favorite show, The Vampire Diaries. They aren´t just actors on the show, they are the reason I watch the show. In real life, I think that Ian is amazing. Ian runs an animal shelter, and he gets his fans to donate money for prizes, and the money goes to the animals in need. I love animals a LOT and I think that it is amazing that Ian also cares about animals. On the other hand, I also love Paul. Paul is Canadian and he is just about the funniest person in the world. Both of them are great actors, great people, and if I met them, I would have many questions for them.
John Green has nothing to do with the other people, I just think his writing is so amazing, and he is very fascinating. John Green wrote my new favorite book, The Fault in Our Stars, and I love the way he writes. After reading TFIOS and watching the movie, I wanted to do a little research about his personal life where I found out other then writing stories, he loves soccer!
I also chose these 3 because, I think that they are all completely opposite, so it would be interesting to be with them all at once.

CAMP MACLEAN
Camp MacLean was definitely one of my favorite trips. Camp MacLean is an overnight camp where you spent the first day doing fun activities with your activity group, like fishing, rock climbing, sports, and other fun activities.
When we arrive at the camp, we set up our bunks and then go do activities until dinner. At meals, there are very good foods like, spaghetti, grilled cheese sandwiches, pancakes, eggs, bacon, salad, and lots of other food.
At night, we played capture the flag, which was probably my favorite part of camp. It was really dark outside, so we had to use glow sticks and face paint so we could tell who was on our team, and we also went into the woods where we discussed how we were going to work our way to get the other teams flag, but it didn't work very well. We ended up losing, but it was okay, it was still a lot of fun. At night, we all went into our cabins, and it was awesome. We stayed up very late and talked about a lot of different things until we got way too tired and eventually fell asleep.
Finally, it was time to go home. The bus ride home was also really fun. It was around an hour, and the whole time we were singing and talking about our fun time at camp.

SUICUDE SQUAD REVIEW
The US government needs to track down and kill one of their most dangerous villains in the US, so they decide to use some of the most dangerous people in the US to track down and kill the most dangerous person. Yes, they use criminals to kill criminals. The US government picks Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Deadshot (Will Smith), Captain Boomerang (George Harkness), KillerCroc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), and Katana (Karen Fukuhara) to kill the criminal. If they don't do what the government tells them to do, they will blow them up with the bomb attached to them, hence the name "Suicide Squad".
I really enjoyed this movie. I think that it had a lot of action, and it had a great ending. All of the actors fit their characters perfectly, and it was definitely worth watching. I'd give Suicide Squad 5/5 stars.

WHAT WOULD THE WORLD BE WITHOUT MUSIC?
Quiet. The Earth would be quiet. In the morning, when driving to work or school, you would drive in silence. When at the gym, while running on the treadmill or biking, there would be nothing. At parties or celebrations of any kinds, there would be no music, people would be dancing in nothing. At grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, there would be no music, even in the little things. The Earth would be quiet.

DEAR MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT...
Dear Mr. Lincoln,
Thank you for serving as president. Even though I wasn't alive when you were president, I admired many things that you did while you were president, and you as a person.
Firstly, you were the first major leader to think that women should vote, which I think is very important. Today, women do vote, thanks to you starting it. If you didn't think that women should vote, the world would be much different today. Different presidents would probably be chosen, and things could end up much worse.
Secondly, and most importantly, you ended slavery. Slavery was a GIANT issue a long time ago, and thanks to you, it no longer exists. Without your ban to slavery, the whole United states would be completely different, and even some people in my life wouldn't be here today.
Lastly, you were a big animal lover. I can share that in common with you because I love animals so much!

MY SPECIAL GIFT
Three Christmas' ago was when I got my special gift.
When I was in 5th grade, that's when my obsession with volleyball began (which I still play to this day), but I didn't have any balls.
When most people asked what I wanted for Christmas, I would usually just say money or "I don't know, anything is fine", but not when my uncle asked.
My uncle asked what I wanted for Christmas, and since my volleyball obsession had just begun but I didn't have any volleyballs, I said a volleyball.
On Christmas morning there were lots and lots of gifts, but there was one that caught my attention. In the very corner of the room, there was a sack. Just a giant sack. I was very curious to see who it was for, and it was for me!
I brought it over to the place where we always open our presents and began to open it. Slowly I could see what was inside, they were volleyballs! I was so excited, but only expecting about 3 or possibly 4, but I got much more then I expected, I got 10 whole volleyballs!
