This week I learned that i am not very good at speaking and i have learned that i am not familiar with how my voice sounds. We wrote our This I Believe essay. I wrote mine about family. I have started recording but am still working on it. This week I finished my book. It was a very good book i enjoyed it very much. I had never heard this story before until now. When I first heard that it was about a school shooting, i thought that there was or would have been more injuries or it they lost more students. But i learned that no one was actually killed other than one of the boys that was doing the school shooting and he had killed himself. What happened was terrible. I dont believe anyone should ever have to go to that extent where you try to kill people at your school or yourself. Some of the boys that were held hostage almost killed the other school shooter once they got free and put him in a comma. I learned this week that it takes a lot of confidence to do anything and be proud about your work. You need to believe in yourself and your work no matter what is going on. Have faith in your work and present your stuff confidently. You willgo through life much happier if you do this.

This week we learned how to believe in yourself and to not give up on yourself. You should keep fighting for what you believe in. Don't let anyone change who you are and who you want to be. If you have goals you should go out and get them. We watched videos on Tony Hawk, Micheal Oataman, and Andy Schoenborn. All of the videos told us to not give up on what we believe in. Each of the videos had a hard challenge that each of the authors had to face. Each author had the choice to give up on there goal or to keep pushing and fighitng for what they want and they believe. They were each told that they could not do it and that they would not be able to. But each of the authors didnt listen and they fought for their dream and goals. I have almost completed my book Give a Boy a Gun. I have gotten to the school shooting. All of the quotes from the students are saying how they dont understand why they did what they did. It is still a very good book. I am enjoying this book. This week I learned that life is very valuable and that you need to respect life. You have to enjoy what you're given. You can go through your entire life and just look bad at everything but you won't bring joy or happiness to your life if you do that. You have to be grateful of what you have and look at the bright side of everything and be happy with what you are given. If you are always looking at what I'm going to be doing in the future then you aren't living you have to be in the present and live life as it is. Nobody is guaranteed so you need to be living life to the fullest everyday. Be grateful for everything. It is awesome to set goals and to do stuff that will get you those goals but you need to be working on the now and how at this moment you can reach those goals. You can't just say I want this and I want that. You have to go out and reach for those goals. This week I also realized that I really enjoy my book that I am reading. It has really brought me in. I am reading Give a Boy a Gun written by Todd Strasser. It is about a school shooting that took place in Middletown. As of right now all that I have read it is telling me about the two boys that were bullied that are the ones that were the school shooters. One of the guys Gary wasn't always in a bad mood where he hated everything and wanted to kill himself but then he met Brendan and that is when Gary changed. I really enjoy this book. |
