Quarter Three Blog

Third quarter is over already?!. That was quick. This quarter, would have to be one of the best quarters. I improved a lot. We did stuff like spirit week, planning out orientation, and many more activities. My grades have also improved. Were almost done with the school year already. Sixth graders are gonna be here as seventh graders, and the seventh graders are gonna be eighth graders. Are you ready?. Things are gonna be different next year. The eighth graders are the ones that have to help the seventh graders. It's gonna be like that for the rest of our lives. The older people help the younger because the older you get, the more you know. I joined an activity that I'm for sure gonna stay in, which is track. We had weekly goals for AR. I did my best to complete every weeks goal. My points goal went up by a lot! It used to be in the "teens" but for this quarter I had to reach 29 points! That's a lot. So I had to get about four points every week. Weekly goals helps us to read more. But I don't like reading. I still read anyways, for the sake of AR(x. We also did the yearbook. The problems this quarter were really difficult to solve for some people. Some people, even a whole period, got stuck in a deep hole. But I'm glad they're making it out together as one. 

Spirit week went smoothly. We had no problems with wristbands, penny wars, chain links, and canned food. 8-3 was crazy! They brought in tons of canned goods, and tons of coins! There were lots of competition. 7-3 didn't win anything. We have next year! There's always another chance.

We had a few fieldtrips. I went to ISA bowling twice. And yes, I know the objective!(x. Why is bowling so hard?!. Maybe I'm just too light because the ball is probably heavier than I am, jk. We challenged sixth graders again. Semester two started when third quarter started. I had only one different teacher. Which is Mr. Nishimura, to Mrs. Kato. Almost all of the students in my class are the same students in my class before. Only some people changed. In science, we started a whole different topic. We did the same in social studies. 

My friendships with everyone has became stronger. That's good thing. It's a good thing because it will be easier for us to work together. By knowing everyone's strengths and weaknesses, we all came through together. My friendship with people I just met feels like I knew them my whole life. Like Chelsey. I met her just last year in the beginning of summer work days, but it feels like I knew her ever since kindergarten. It's that easy for me to make a friend. I try to make friends with the right people. Because your friends could change your future. If they're a bad influence, they could make you do the bad things that they're doing. It could give you a bad reputation, and it wouldn't get you a good job. A job will make you successful. 

I learned a lot more than last quarter. I learned to delay gratification, to learn from your successes not your mistakes, and many more. Each quarter I learn a lot of new and different things. Like delay gratification, I showed delaying gratification this quarter by standing up the whole time when Mr. Ing said to go "stand and wait outside". Me, Khrizz, and petriese were the only ones who stood up the whole time. Everyone sat down because their legs were tired. All I did was put my bag down, and took out a book to read. So I was being productive by standing outside. I found lots of ways to stay out of problems, one of them was to listen to the simple directions that are given out.

Hopefully next quarter will be better than the rest. We will have to work harder, and do our best.
