I'd Be Lost Without It

It's my friend when I don't have anyone else. It's comforting, real, and genuine. There's something about it that speaks to me. It can make you laugh, cry, or anything in between, and it's a remedy for a mood, a feeling, a situation, anything. It can turn a bad day around. This is why music is important to me. Without it, I don't where I'd be.

My All- Time Favorite Bible Verse

My favorite bible verse is undoubtedly Jeremiah 29:11; "For I have plans for you, says the lord, plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, but to give you a hope and a future." This was the verse I was dedicated with. It's my life verse, and it assures me that God has a great plan for my life, and will never let me down. Through God, I know I have a future in doing what he wants me to do in his glory, and as a christian, that's what I want to do with my life.

Summer Reading Group Project Highlights

For the summer reading project, my group did Conflict for The Outsiders.We created it using Google Presentation. The process was fairly easy, and it was a lot like Microsoft Powerpoint. It was a bit hard finding the images, though. One thing I learned was, for one, how to use Google Presentation and Evernote. I also learned what the other groups thought about the different key elements of the two stories we read. It was interesting to see their opinions and presentations.

Here is my group's presentation:

Goals for the Year

It's a new year, full of new opportunities, and new goals. With no goals, there are no guidelines to follow and nothing to strive to accomplish. I've thought of a few goals in three different categories; academic, social, and spiritual.

Academically, I'd love to receive all A's. It's always been a goal of mine, but I haven't accomplished it since about 5th grade. Granted, high school will be more difficult than middle school, but hopefully I can pull it off. The subjects I'll have to work on are Science and Math, my weak points.

Spiritually, I want to read my bible and pray more often. These are things that we as Christians need to form habits of. I, however, have not, and I believe now is as good a time as any to start.

Socially, I'd like meet Paul McCartney at the concert I'm going to in October. I might make a sign to hold up, which means I'll possibly be called on stage to get an autograph. It would be a dream come true! It's a long- shot, but anything can happen!
