Best Advice

The best advice I have ever gotten was from my mom, she told me to always listen to her when she says one of my friends weren't really my friends.  Somehow she can already tell when someone is being fake and only "pretending" to be my friend. She refers to her experiences when she was our age. She always does the same thing with my sister, and she always ends up being right. This is why from now on I will always listen to my mother when she senses a fake friend.

Girl Stolen

Girl Stolen is written by April Henry and is about a girl named Cheyenne Wilder. She is 16 years old with pneumonia and she's blind. Back when she was 13 her and her mother were waking along an empty road, when 2 racing cars came and lost control running right into Cheyenne and her mother. Her mother flew far away from the scene since the impact was so harsh. Cheyenne bumped into a street sign and hit the back of her head, which caused her Brain to bounce off the back of her skull and caused her vision to go blurry.
           The beginning of the story explains how Cheyenne and her stepmother went to the pharmacy to pick up some antibiotics for her pneumonia. Cheyenne stayed in the car while her step mother went inside the store. Before her step mother left the car, Cheyenne begged her to leave the keys in the ignition. So her step mom did, in case Cheyenne got cold, she could put the heat on. A few minutes later someone came into the car, but Cheyenne used her other senses and figured out that that person that came into the car was far too loud. "Even the way the door closed hadn't sounded right. Too fast and too hard for Danielle. The breathing was all wrong too, speeded up and harsh", this is a quote from chapter one, paragraph four. It explains how all the little things Cheyenne could tell that it wasn't her step mother. Sooner or later the man in the car drove off, not knowing Cheyenne was in the back seat.
          Later on, the boys name was introduced, Griffin. Griffin took Cheyenne to his father and brothers to see what they should do. They found out Cheyenne's father was the president of Nike. They wanted a ransom in order for Cheyenne's father to get her back. But Cheyenne's fat her couldn't  give them the price they wanted in the little time he had. Cheyenne tried to escape many times, but failed each time.
          I personally love this book, I love the action and the story behind Cheyenne. Even griffin has a story about his mother. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a little bit of romance, action, and stories that make you never want to put the book down.

My biggest regret

One of my  biggest regrets is getting suspended in sixth grade.  The mistakes I made that day were  very immature and I will forever regret what I did.  That day I could've done so many things different. The only good outcome out of this suspension is that I've learned not to make the same mistakes again, not to do what I did again, and I learned my lesson.  If I could go back to this day I would have never did what I did I will should've kept my anger in and never wrote or said what I said. If you're wondering why I got suspended, which you probably are,  I wrote a "threat" to another student.  I put ""threat"" in quotation marks because to me it wasn't a threat, to teachers it was. From what I recall, it was letting out my anger on a piece of paper.  Little did I know a teacher would find that same paper, and I would get suspended.  So this is suspension is one of my biggest regrets because it will be in my files for every school I attend and I will always have that day burned into my mind.

Happiness is...

To me happiness is a rush of excitement, when someone gives me something I've wanted for a long time, them I'd say "I'm happy". Below is a list of 15 things that personally make me happy.

-happiness is...expensive things, this makes me happy because I don't get to have expensive things on a daily basis, so when I get them I feel special.

-happiness is...my Baby cat, she makes me happy everyday, I can sit with her and tell her all my problems, even though she won't respond she still listens.

-happiness is...my best friend, This girl makes my day everyday by telling me funny jokes and we laugh at the smallest things which makes me happy everyday.

-happiness is...money, when I get money no matter the amount, I feel like I can buy anything for myself for once, which makes me happy.

-happiness is...traveling, I love seeing things I've never seen before, I heard that when traveling you really think about life and make better decisions.

-happiness is...talking to the people I love, even seeing the people I love because I know they will do anything to make me happy and I'd do anything for them to see a smile on their face.

-happiness is...presents, I love getting new things, that I can use for myself and not share.

-happiness is...Christmas, I love spending time with my family and getting and giving gifts to see them all smile.

-happiness is...getting new things, like I said before I love getting new things,  it I really love to see the smiles of people's faces when I give or get new things. Because when someone in my family buys me something, they want to see the smile I put on my face.

Inspirational Super Bowl commercial

I think that the Airbnb super bowl commercial was the most inspirational. It said that everybody belongs, no matter what race, gender, what we look like or who we are. They say that "the world is more beautiful, the more you accept." This explains a lot since people now a days judge, and assume, and put people into categories. For example, if someone sees a Muslim, they automatically assume they are a terrorist or part of something suspicious. Or if a white person sees a mexican that only speaks Spanish, they assume they are an immigrant. Many people judge and many people assume things, but this commercial explains a lot in a few sentences. This is why I picked this specific commercial since we all belong no matter who we are, where we're from, what we look like, what our religion is, transgender or not, no matter what we along belong.

Worst argument

I can't really just pick one really bad argument I have gotten in. There are just too many since I get into arguments on a daily basis. But most of them are for little things that make no sense to have an argument for. I always get into arguments with my best friend but those are for no reason at all. I even get into arguments with my sister but that's just what sisters do. But in an argument I think that they all start from miscommunication. Some people don't understand what the other is complaining about and it just starts a really big argument for no reason at all. But in an argument always hear what the other has to say and then make a comment off of that. Try to never let the argument blow out of proportion. Even talk it out with them and try to stay clam.  So these are just a few tips to handle and argument.

Anne Frank in the world

Anne Frank in the world is about Anne and her family. In the book it explains how the war started, what happened in between, and how the war ended. The Nazis and the KKK were explained a little more, what the purpose for thsoe clubs were explained and why they were created.  The book doesn't have chapters, instead each page has a title, a few pictures, and a small paragraph to explain each topic. It explains how the nazis are anti-Christian, how the nazis killed anybody with a disability or whoever was an alcoholic, this was because they thought that the nation shouldn't spend money on anybody with  a disability either mentally, or physically. Then about education only Jews can go to school with Jews and non-Jews can only go to school with non-Jews. Even teachers were split up by race. If you were a Jew, you lost your job, non-Jews got to keep their jobs and live on with their lives. Later on Anne is shown in pictures from every school picture. It shows how she aged and grew up. They also show her sister Margot, how she aged and grew up as well.
If I could change up a few things in the book I would make it more about Anne Frank and her family then about the Nazi's and how the system went and how the war started. It was a little confusing to me because the whole book explained the war and not the family, since the book is called Anne Frank in the world. But on the other hand the book explained everything very well and detailed. It explained perfectly how the war started and what the reasons why, and how the war ended and the reasons why. I really liked how they had pictures that go with each text but some pages were all pictures and very little text to explain everything. But overall I really, liked this book since it explained everything very well and detailed.
