High School

In this post I decided to get a little personal. Since it is so close to the end of the school year I wanted to talk a little about that. This year I am "graduating" from 8th grade and entering high school. I am full of mixed emotions about this. I am excited to be in high school. Honestly for the past couple years I just couldn't wait to be older. Lots of opportunities open up for you when you get older. However I am a little sad about going to high school. It is kind of weird to leave my normal life in middle school. Also some of my friends are in the grade below me and I won't see them very much next year. I am also stressed a bit. High school will be much harder than middle school. Also a lot of things in high school will be out of my comfort zone. I am also a little scared that I will embarrass myself in front of the older high schoolers. How about you guys. If you are in high school, tell me about your experience in your freshman year. If you are in middle school, tell me what you think about going into high school. Overall I would say that the closer I get to high school the more nervous I get.

20% Time Part 2

So we scraped the idea of writing a song. Instead we are going to make a book that teaches people how to play piano. Sure there are a lot of those out there but we wanted to make one anyway. So far we've discussed the different kinds of notes and also the names of the note. Next we are going to work on rests.

20% Time

In my English class we are starting a project called 20% Time. Basically every Friday we get to work on a project that we decide on. I decided to work with my friend Benjamin and together we are going to write a song. So far we've brainstormed with a few ideas. In the future we are going to try to have one or maybe even two songs that are just instrumental.

If I Could Change One Thing in the World

If I Could Change One Thing in the World

     If I could change one thing in the world, I would want everyone to work together and get along. If all countries worked together, there would not need to be wars. If everyone worked together instead of tearing each other down, there would not need to be any fighting amongst each other. Basically I would want everyone to be nice to each other and just be good people. If all people were good people, then there would not really be any sin. I would like if all countries worked together because then we would have closer ties with everyone around the world. I think it would be super cool to get to know other people from other countries. Also I would like for our country to be friends with other countries that do not really like us that much. If everyone from all countries were nice to each other, then there would not be any murders or terrorist attacks or anything like that. Everyone would want the best for each other and would not want to hurt anyone.

​     It would be cool if every country worked together and helped poorer countries or countries that had a recent bad thing happen. Countries should just help other countries become better developed and accomplish things. It is kind of sad that some countries have all these luxuries that many countries might not have even heard of. It would be cool if those countries could have these luxuries and be able to have contact with countries like ours. I think it would be really cool if everyone could just be connected with people from other countries and be friends with people who are not in the same place as you are. With all this, many relationships can be built and become stronger.

​     Relationships being built all across the world would benefit a person in many ways. With friends in many different places around the world, you can learn a lot about those places which will help you learn about many cultures. When people know a lot about another culture, they can introduce new customs to their country. After a while, countries will have a mix of many different cultures. Culture is so cool and after many cultures mix, a new culture can form that has customs from many different cultures from many different places around the world.

​     I think I would want countries to have closer ties because I think that it is super cool that every country is different and everyone in those countries is different. I like to hear the stories of people’s lives and would LOVE to hear about the lives of people in other countries. I have always been fascinated about hearing about people’s lives and I think that is why I like to watch vlogs and stuff like that. When people from around the world have close ties with people on the opposite side of the globe, they get to hear about the lives of others. I would love to just see what happens in other people’s lives because every life is an interesting and unique thing. Every life is special and I would like to know about as many as I can.
