What a journey.

Every new year of high school comes with new challenges, new friends and new opportunities. For some it's a scary thought, but some can hardly wait to get out into the world and experience all the things high school has to offer.

My grade 9 year was.. interesting. I was excited but nervous at the same time. So far it has been a great experience because I learned the wrong and right things to do, and overall all it has done is help me grow as a person and find out who I am. I'm sure for many people it is the same, even if you hate high school or love it. Grade 10 is just as amazing, I am loving! I have met new friends and learned new things, but I have also lost people I used to be close with. That's okay though, high school is all about finding out who you are, your interests and what makes you happy. I hope by grade 12 everyone is proud of who they are and how they got there.

Lit cirlces.

The book I autimatically eliminated from my top 2 choices was "A Discovery of Witches" by Deborah Harkness. I removed this book because I do not really enjoy reading fantasy genres, I lose interest in them quickly. When I read the summarys for the other books, I became more drawn to them and wanted to read the books, but when I read the summary for this book I was not interested at all.

Teenagers asking viewers to judge their looks..

After I read this article, I was shocked at the number of people who make videos of themselves asking the youtube community if they are good looking or not. Honestly, everyone is beautiful and do not need to ask people consistanly about their looks. Surprising as it is, many people have become insecure about themselves, but they shouldn't be. Teenagers should not be so concerned about their appearence and what people think about them, you are who you are whether people like it or not. To me, this article is is making teens worred about their looks but they should not have to change for anyone!

My inspiration.

I do not have a certain person or group that inspires me, I am inspired by anyone who was told that they could not do something, but yet proved everyone wrong in the end. Anyone can do anything, no matter what people say about it. Just to know that some people put their mind to something and accomplish it give me even more reasons to do all the things that people said I wouldn't be able to do.

13 Reasons Why.

For literature circles, I chose to read 13 reasons why by Jay Asher.  I was immediately sold when I read the summary for it and I have always gravitated towards mystery books and this is definitely one of them! I love reading a book that is unsure of what is happening until the end, it just makes me want to read it even more and never put it down. I'm really excited to read this book, I can't wait!

Every since I was little..

Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to pursue a job where I get to be involved in the lives of children and adults. I am a very social person and enjoy helping anyone any chance I get. Also, I would like to help change the world in some way by lowering poverty, world hunger and making it a safer and cleaner environment to everyone to live in. For right now, I might start making smaller changes like volunteering and recycling. In the future, I really want to try and make these things happen. Not for me, but for people who are in need of it.
