Graduation Speech

I have been at District 67 for all of the years from kindergarten to 8th grade and I have never once felt more happy in my life. I realize now that I will be graduating from middle school and moving on to making a better future for myself. I remember once from 7th grade how Adam Castro would eat graphite in math class. He has moved into a different school but I can still hear him crunching from here. I still remember me taking the bus as a small kid and witnessing them breaking down. Then my mom kicking me off the bus and making me walk to school after the 5th time the bus broke down. I will always remember this school and how it carries a lot of my precious memories. Once a wise person told me to look into the future and the present, never the past. I completely agree with them because you will never be successful if you always look at the sad moments in your past. The one exception is this school because it is the most wonderful thing ever. It has taught me how to read, write and even how mortgage works(Because of Mr. Carro). I thank Mrs. Joyner for being a wonderful supporting teacher, I thank Mr Carris for expanding my knowledge on history, I thank Mr. Carro for teaching me about math, I thank Mrs. Maldonado for helping me learn science, I thank Mrs. Conejo for helping me learn Spanish and weird Hispanic culture, and I thank Epic games most of all for creating Fortnite when I'm stressed out from doing my homework. I hope in the future that when I have made a successful career for myself, I will think back to this school and about all the wonderful teachers and staff there was. I also hope that I don't go homeless when I get out of college.

Endings and Beginnings

By the end of this school year I want to be proud of myself. I also want my parents to be proud of me so I'm going to set my end of the year goal to have all A's by the end of this quarter. Hopefully I can also get some reward too. That might be hoping for too much because I have the worst grades right now. If I make this goal I'm going to reward myself with 6 bags of takis. So if I don't make this goal I'm not going to be able to eat takis for 2 months. For me that's the hardest thing I would ever have to do since watching Chinese movies with my parents. Personally if I make this goal then I would be happy with myself because I haven't gotten straight A's in a year. I'm also doing this so my parents can buy me something for my birthday. I'm going to stop making goals for myself here because if I make a hundred goals for me to achieve then I feel like some truck is going to run me over and end my dreams.

Blog on Bergen Belsen Research Paper second genre

Bergen Belsen was a one of the most horrific concentration camps during the third Reich. The leader of the camp was Josef Kramer nicknamed the beast of Belsen.  Unlike Auschwitz, Bergen Belsen did not use gas chambers and killed prisoners by working them to death and starving them. It was not just a camp for Jews but also political prisoners and gypsies.  As the camp started to lose its resources it stopped giving the prisoners food and they began to starve. A camp that was meant for 10,000 ended holding 60,000 and not having enough resourced to feed all of them. Before it was liberated 50,000 people died of starvation, disease or hard work. After liberation, 10,000 more died in DP camps or while they were on their way to get medical aid. The camp received its population from evacuated camps because of the advancing allied front. As more and more camps were being liberated by the allies the Nazis were thinking of installing gas chambers for quick and easy execution of the prisoners. Josef Kramer wanted all of the prisoners to suffer and assured the rest of the nazis that the prisoners would die off before the allies come 5 miles near the camp. Still the prisoners clung to life which led to an evacuation of the camp but before they got the chance the SS were ambushed by the British and captured. One of the many that died in Belsen were Anne Frank which was a famous diarist during the holocaust. Most of the dead have not been able to be recognized publicly but we all need to remember the horrific times of the holocaust and the great sacrifices people had to make to survive.

Food Blog

Once when I went out to a restaurant that didn't even have a name, maybe I didn't see it, I felt like I had the worst service possibly. It was the middle of my trip from D.C and we were driving home when but it got really dark so we stayed in a hotel. Apparently the hotel had a Mexican restaurant so I went down to go eat with my cousins. When I sat down the waiter was speaking Spanish and we all were acting dumb and had no idea what he was saying. Then he started laughing and said I'll get a waiter that speaks English even though he just said that in perfect English without any accents. I felt like he was just like I'm done for the day I'm not going to serve another table. Then some other guy came and took our orders. When we asked for coke he spilled one of them on someone else's table. Then our food finally came he messed up the entire order big time and so we had to wait another half hour to get another plate. Then I went over to an arcade they had in the place with one of my cousins but we never got to play it since all of them were broken. Then when the food arrived, we ate and then the guy messed up the bill. He put at least 3 things on there that we didn't order. It was a complete fiasco. When I got back up in my room I couldn't deal with anything else so I collapsed on the bed and watched ESPN for the rest of the night. I was quite surprised that the place hasn't been sued yet.

How to improve your Parcc testing skills

Today is all about how to improve your Parcc testing skills. Yes so to do well in Parcc testing you actually have to get off your Fortnite, and study like a normal human being. Which was something I did not enjoy. First step is to go on quizlet and search up Parcc testing. Click test. Then you spam a bunch of letters into the box. You have to make sure that you don't get a 100 percent. That is the worst possible grade you can get. If you get a zero than you know that you have done well. It will totally help you study for your upcoming tests. This method can also help you study for your exam or anyone important tests. Another method is to go on YouTube and look up every single meme you can. Then copy and paste into a google doc and look at them in loop for hours and hours. This way you can totally drill the information into your brain. By the time the tests comes you will get a big fat 0 and it will be the best feeling of your life. The 3rd method that I prefer is that you have to turn on your phone, PS4, Xbox, Computer etc. and play that 24/7 till you die. Then you'll never have to go to school. Therefore you don't have to take a test. Just kidding because if you follow this method your guaranteed to fail every single test in your life. I hope I didn't inspire anyone to do this.

Blog Choose Love

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place. And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love. Always choose love.
This quote is from Daniel's Story. It was a beautiful inspiration to Rosa and Daniel from Erika. It reminded me of a character in the walking dead named Herschel. There was a huge sickness that killed everyone. Herschel was as old as a mummy but he still went into the quarantine zone and helped treat everyone there. Instead of saving his own life, he decided to choose love for both his passion of being able to help others and saving people when others wouldn't. Even when he was getting chased by zombies and was about to kill them, he thought of all the other people and decided that it would be better that they didn't see him kill the zombies. Later he said that that he was talking about Steinbeck with one of the zombies he just killed. The quote was "A sad soul can kill quicker than a germ." That was why he didn't want the children to see him kill the zombies. Then before he went in to save peoples lives Rick, the leader, and some others didn't want him to go because they were afraid he was going to die. He then said" You step outside, you risk your life. You take a drink of water, you risk your life. And nowadays you breathe, and you risk your life. Every moment now you don't have a choice. The only thing you can choose is what you're risking it for. Now I can make these people feel better and hang on a little bit longer. I can save lives. That's reason enough to risk mine." The words were just as amazing as seeing the Total Eclipse. He chose love for humanity and for that he deserves enough respect to be on this blog.

Dear Diary,
                         Today I went to DisneyWorld. Yes the one in Florida and not Disneyland. It was a great experience. The first park of DisneyWorld we went to was called Universal Studies. I remember hearing the screaming of all the kids on this rocket ride. The sound was thrilling and it felt like I was being pulled into the wait line. When we got into the line we had to wait for a couple of minutes. Then even longer. Soon it stretched on to hours, so we got out of the line and stopped waiting. Then I realized I lost my parents.
                          My cousins were freaking out but I remained calm. My first reaction was to call my parents like a normal kid, but since my parents never bought me a phone that couldn't be accomplished. Then my cousins started blaming me and saying it was my fault for getting out of the line. Then it started getting cloudy it was raining really hard. My cousins said that maybe this wasn't that bad and we could live our own lives without parents.
                          Then I saw our parents start walking towards us, but I didn't tell my cousins because they started saying bad stuff about them and I was going to let them get in trouble. Then their parents started yelling at them and the entire day was ruined because of the rain and the yelling. I had a great time but I'm sure my cousins wouldn't agree. That's it for today in my book of memories.
