This image inspires me a lot to love my life. The things that make you happy in life are the things that you should do often. When I think about the things that make me happy in life, there are a lot. When I surf, I feel very happy and relaxed. My mind is clear and I have no worries. I think that this is a really important quote because everyone has something that makes them happy and it's not very hard do get out and do it.

"Not all who wander are lost"
I really enjoy this quote because I makes me realize that in life you have to take risks or do something differently than others. Living life normal can sometimes be boring and you have to do things to make life fun and memorable

Moral compass #4
In the real world you must learn to be happy with what you have be and learn that you cant have everything. You have to work towards things that you want or dream about. It doesn't come that easy. Although most don't like working hard in the end it will pay off and you can do and have the things you dreamed about as a kid.

This picture is an example of segregation between colored and whites. This picture makes me mad because I feel that it's stupid to segregate because of color, religion, physical appearance, or any other factor. I don't understand because i believe that a human is a human and people should not be judged or segregated because of this. This picture is also related to the book To kill a mocking bird. In the book, Atticus is defending a black man in court and the court consists of all whites. He says that Tom Robinson is innocent but has no chance in court because of his color. Kids make fun of Scout and Jem saying their dad stands up for niggers.

Yesterday,12 years ago was a very dramatic and shocking day for the US. 9/11 was a very scary day for many people but because of many heros and courageous people many lives were saved that day and we thank them for that. These people risked their lives for other people by going inside of the towers to rescue people. Although many of these firemen knew that they could be walking up to their death they did not give up and they were very brave. Many firefighters and other people were lost that they but they will always be remembered for their acts of braveness

I feel very strong about treating animals equal as if they were human. Some people like to look at them as nothing important but I feel like they deserve love and everything that a human deserves. I have a dog and a cat which I have both grown close to and I love them. My dog is a great companion and my cat always cheers me up. I believe everyone should get the chance to interact with animals.

The beach is a place where I can relax and have fun. I am so happy to live in such a beautiful place such as southern california where there are so many beaches. When I go to the beach it's mostly with my brother or my friends. We surf, bodyboard, and mess around in and out of the water. I am glad that I am able to go to the beach so much because when i'm older, I can look back and have many awesome memories at the beach.

This is my favorite book that I read in third grade. This book was awesome because it was exciting, suspenseful, and had an awesome story line. In the story, a boat crashes with two young teens on it and they have to live on a very small island where theres no food and many dangerous things. When is was reading it, I felt so entertained and couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed it and I hope I can read a book that interests me this year.

With Halloween slowly creeping up I decided to write about it. Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays since I was little. I love seeing all of the creative costumes people have made and walk around trick or treating. I use to remember when I was little my friends and I would go to one of our houses and pour out our candy and trade. To this day, me and my neighbors still do this. I have very many fun memories from halloween.

The Chicago Blackhawks is my favorite hockey team. Both my dad and I are big sports fans and enjoy watching teams such as the Blackhawks on t.v together. Recently the Blackhawks won the stanley cup and my dad and I were very happy. We watched every single game of the season and rooted for them. When the final game came we were both nervous but excited to see the outcome. When they won we were happy and enjoyed the moment together. I love having these times watching games together with my dad and hope to share the same experiences with my kids.

Over all camp was really fun and I enjoyed spending time with good friends and having good times. I will remember this fun experience with friends skating and having an awesome time

Golf is a sport that I really enjoy and play on my free time when ever I can. Golf is a game of patience, precision, and practice. It takes a lot of time to figure out your golf swing and get it perfectly right. Sometimes you will hit bad shots and sometime you will hit good shots. When you hit bad shots it affects your game and your attitude is also affected. When I golf bad I become angry and try to cool down and relax, but somedays I will hit all good shots and be very happy. One of my favorite things is being out on the course with my dad and brother. We all support each other, give each other tips

Food is a very diverse thing that is important to each and every person. People have favorite foods and least favorite foods. One of my favorite type of foods is Thai food. I really enjoy all of the spices and ingredients that go into Thai food. One of my favorite restaurants is king and I. I usually get the pad thai or any other noodles. Every time I try something new it's really exciting and its always an adventure. I also like to cook on my own. On most saturdays or sundays I make chocolate chip pancakes in the morning with some syrup and delicious powdered sugar on top. Food is something that I will always enjoy making and eating.

Music is something that everyone listens too. People have their favorite genre such as rock, rap/hip hop/ or classical. I like listening to music when I do homework because it keeps me focused and thinking only about what I'm doing. Calming songs work the best but songs such as dustep give me headaches. Music is a world wide thing that people make and listen to.

The night before my birthday I would always get up really early to go down and get a peek at the cake and all of the presents on the table. Now that I'm becoming older I am more
grateful more what I have and feel so lucky to get all of these things.

Something that I really enjoy doing is getting out into nature and getting creative photos that stand out from others. I really enjoy getting pictures of waves with my go pro such as this one. For this shot I incorporated the cliff in the background to give the picture detail and perspective. My favorite part about taking pictures of waves is going home and seeing what my shots turned out like. This is a passion that I have which I can improve on the more I do it.

Having just finished the book Night By Elie Wiesel I have learned about the holocaust from a Jew's point of view. In the book Jews were treated terribly, like animals. How could someone treat a human being the way the did with no emotion or sorrow. One part that really struck me was how everyone went into the camp supporting each other and being by each others side but by the end of the book it was a free for all, men fight alone and die alone as one prisoner said. Elie never did give up on his father until the day he died. He was always there for him and lied beside him the last night he lived. Although Elie lost all of his faith in God he never left him as many of the others did which I believe was a brave act of him. Another thing that puzzled me was how long Elie and his father were in all of these different camps. They spent over three years switching from camp to camp and block to block. All sense of time was lost for many and all people cared about was becoming free. At the very end of the book Elie explains that when he looks in the mirror in the hospital that that was the last time he had seen himself since the ghetto. He sees himself as a corpse in the mirror with a glazed look in his eye. This made me really sad because it made me think of all of the sweat, tears, and blood Elie had shed during this time of hell

One of my favorite things to do on the weekend to surf. I enjoy being out on the water with my brother. So calm, quiet, and peaceful. I never get bored of it because I can always improve at it and learn new maneuvers. One maneuver Im trying to perfect is the snap turn. This is what is pictured on the left. A good snap means that there is a lot of spray or water and you continu after the turn. It's always a good time out on the water sitting on our boards watching the sun set on the horizion.

This is really random but since I got a haircut I decided to write about my feelings on haircuts. When people were babies they hated haircuts and cried, but over time they begin to grow out of that. I really enjoy haircuts because I get to meet someone new and It's always exciting seeing what it will turn out like. I once had a guy who cut my hair who told me about how he was a cop and he told me many stories he had which I found very entertaining. Every once in a while, ill get a bad haircut which really makes me mad because you have to wait a while before you can fix it or change it. When you get a good haircut it makes me feel good and stylish.

One time when it was raining, it was really windy and my friend and I decided to go up to the neighborhood park with our skate boards and some umbrellas. We opened the umbrellas in the direction of the wind and let the wind take us away. I was so much fun because the wind was really strong and it was making us go really fast almost causing us to fall. I will always remember fun times in the rain with friends.

In math we are working on making geometrical figures with compasses and rulers. I really like this project becauseI like drawing things and the things you can make with a compass are really cool and turn out amazing. For my image I did two lilly pads on a lake and used a compass and a straight edge to create them. Inside of them I made a hexagon and put circles on each of the points to symbolize a flower. I'm excited to see my final product because I think it will be very detailed and precise. I never really knew that math could be so much fun but learning about geometry has changed my thoughts on math

The beach is one of my favorite places to camp at because as you fall asleep you can hear the waves crashing on the beach and the train going by every few hours. When I was younger, we had a small camper and we always took camping trips to the beach and the mountains. There was a small cot which I always slept on and a larger one that my brother slept on. Recently we sold it so now we camp in tents which is always fun but not as comfy. There is just something about sleeping outside so close to nature that I love

After finishing the book Romeo and Juliet in class, we watched the movie. The movie really struck me because it was not what I was expecting. It was a modernized version of the story with cars, guns, and other modern items. I thought that it was cool how the editors of the movie incorporated the same storyline from the book but changed the era completely. Since we haven't finished the movie I am excited to see the ending. So many things happened at the end of the book and it will be interesting to see it in the movie.

Quote: “You still don’t get it? Minerva, don’t you see? Trujillo is having everyone killed!” Significance: The first chapters of this book are very important because it establishes the setting, characters, and other facts. It also establishes the character of Trujillo who we learn to be a controlling man who has killed many people. This quote stood out to me because he is emphasizing on how having a daughter is very tough especially in the story. Women were much different than men and were often treated differently, with less say and power. Connection: I can connect this story to a few past and present things going on in the world. One thing that comes to my head is the situation in North Korea where citizens are being lied to and convinced to believe ridiculous things. It works and these people worship their leader although they are being lied to. Another thing that this is very similar to is the Holocaust. Millions of people were brainwashed into believing Hitler and caught onto his opinions and rules not realizing what he was doing was so evil. Another thing In my life can connect this to is bandwagon. Today we see a lot of bandwagon and we see kids following it although they don't realize what they're doing and how bad this actually is

One of my favorite things to do in winter time is snowboarding. Ever since I first tried snowboarding around the age of 7 I have always loved it. There is just something about being on the mountain carving through the snow that gives me a feeling I cant get anywhere else. This past March I went to Mammoth with my dad for snowboarding and had the time of my life. As my dad and I were looking at the map he suggested trying "The Cornice Bowl" which is a black diamond run at the top of the mountain. I hesitantly said sure and we took the lift to the top of the mountain. When we arrived at the top I was nervous and slowly made my way down the steep face of the mountain. After a little while I got the hang of it and carved through the powder creating a cloud of snow on each turn. I was very glad that we tried something different and had a great rest of the time there.

January 16, 2014Quote: “You wouldn’t have to play,” he flirts. “Just stand on our side and distract those wolves with your pretty face!”
Significance: In these three chapters we learned a ton about the Mirabal sisters. A lot of events relating to love happen in these chapters such as Maria and Minerva. During one of the chapters, the Mirabals attend a party at Trujillo's house and they leave early which gets them in trouble. Papa is thrown in jail for a while and when released they go to Trujillo's office. Minerva ends up rolling a dice which will decide if she will go to law school or sleep with Trujillo. She wins and goes off to law school where she meets her husband. I chose this quote because it shows that love that is shown in these chapters between the sisters and their husband/crushes
Connection:
I connect this to Night when the one man was playing his violin. The SS officers didn't allow him to have this and nobody had any personal items except him. He did what makes him happy in the saddest times. Trujillo doesn't allow people to do what they want and controls everyone. It also relates to Ai WeiWei who is a Chinese artist who creates political pieces which his government doesn't like. He is not allowed to leave China and is under surveillance at home. Trujillo also always wants to know whats happening in his town.

It also relates to Ai WeiWei who is a Chinese artist who creates political pieces which his government doesn't like. He is not allowed to leave China and is under surveillance at home. Trujillo also always wants to know whats happening in his town.

This is one of my favorite pictures of my friends and I. We were jumping on the trampoline and saw a ladder leaning against the house, sparking a genius idea. We set the ladder next to the trampoline jumping off and to see how high we could get. We weren't satisfied enough so we used the element of two people to get one person higher. When the person landed after jumping off the ladder the other person jumped the same exact time launching the person in the air. We were so excited about our idea so we decided to get some pictures wit my camera. After a few tries we got this picture of me which was really cool . Since the ladder is cut out of the picture it seem impossible to get that high in the air. This was a really fun day with my friends and I will always remember it.
