Homework (High School)

At the beginning of this year I thought High School was easy! But not really now...

It is super hard now because I have way more homework, the teachers are worse (I don't know how to explain that well), and well it's just in general harder. I miss the teachers from eighth and seventh grade they were nice! I still have some nice teachers but they always give lots of homework and I mean all of them, last year only a few teachers would give lots of work! Now, every night I have tons of homework and tests to study for! I am so afraid of failing all my classes. Teachers tell us that these are the years that count and to work hard but they really aren't helping us any with all the homework, tests, and stress.

I better stop now because I could go on forever and I also have homework. :(

Thanksgiving (I know it's still far away!)

:) My favorite character in Kung Fu Panda is the turtle! :D

Anyway, todays topic is Thanksgiving!

Alright so I know that most people only like Thanksgiving because it's a no school/work day and there's lots of food! Some people don't really care what it means-what it symbolizes. Well, to be perfectly honest I am one of those people, I am just happy to say that there is no school and lots of food. I should care more about what this holiday symbolizes, peace and friendship (and other things)! Thanksgiving is an important day for people because it is about...(what's the word?)...collaborating. Familes and friends get together and share food with each other, they talk and laugh! Those are the best parts of Thanksgiving but when people ask us what we like most about Thanksgiving they say food or no school. I am going to try to appreciate this holiday more for what it symbolizes!

I am also going to celebrate that this will be my last Thanksgiving with braces (I hate braces!)!!!!!

The Moral of the Story is....

Note: I have moved the Hangman game to the side.

Anyway, I am going to tell all of you about a movie that I watched yesterday.

*SPOILER ALERT*

I watched Kung Fu Panda, it was a movie about a panda bear that wanted to learn kung fu. This movie, while being stupid and slightly corny, had a good point. Anyway so this panda tries to learn kung fu but no one believes in him and people are constantly telling him he is bad in some way. After a while he starts to get good when someone finally believes in him and gives him a chance. In the end he is the only hope for defeating this bad guy and when he does he finally gets the respect he wanted.

So basically what I am trying to say is that this panda worked really hard and over came a lot of obstacles but in the end all his hard work paid off. The moral of this is that you should never give up!!!

Appreciation

I have decided to go with a lighter topic today, especially after the one last week.

Everyday I come home and try to get all my homework done fast, so I can watch TV or do something else along those lines. Already you can see that I take for granted the fact that I have a home and a TV. I should stop to consider all the people that don't have a home and live without electricity because there are a lot of people who don't have these luxuries I take for granted. I also never appreciate the work my mom does and I always complain about the chores I have to do, like clean my room, walk the dog, and empty the dishwasher. My mom goes to work at 4 or 5 (sometimes later) in the morning at a retail store, where she works her hardest for me and my brother. She works so that she can bring money home for everything that I take for granted. I don't ever stop to thank her for her hard work, when I should. Everyone does good things for each other [sometimes] and they deserve at least a "thanks" out of it.

So everyone should say "thanks" a little more often!
