Tears of a Tiger

     The second book I read over the summer was Tears of a Tiger. The book was very sad, surprisingly. In the book a group of drunk teenagers get in a wreck and one dies. Basically throughout the book the driver and main character, Andy, of the car feels really guilty and bad. The book made me make sure I am always making the right decision and staying cautious.

     I noticed that in the book, the only person that blames the driver for the death was the driver himself. Everyone else tells him to not worry about and to learn from it. But to Andy, it was much more than a mistake. No one else seems to understand that. That is a very interesting part of the book to me and I think it applies to life a lot. When your in the center of situations you can see all sides and react different than everyone else. Anyway, this was a great book that I recommend to everyone.

What are you grateful for?

     As I grow older and the years go by, I notice more and more how good I have it. My parents have worked really hard to give me the life I have. I am grateful for the fact that I am able to go to an extremely expensive and great private school, a thing a lot of kids can't say. I have always gone to private schools with good education and staff, making my learning experience better than a lot.      Another thing I am grateful for are my friends and family. Anytime I need people to hang out with or talk to I can go to my friends and family. They are both always there for me no matter what. Imagine how boring life would be without friends. Imagine how unstable and bad life would be without family. They are two very great things.

Strengths and Challenges

     As writers, we all have our strengths and challenges. From quotations to organization, people do some things well and they do others bad. As a writer his year I've noticed that I am pretty good at coining together quotations, citing them correctly with the write format, and using the most effective quote I can. I noticed this in the research paper when I had my conference with Dr D. She said that I embedded my quotes really well and that I used pretty effective quotes as well. But, I didn't have the greatest feedback on everything...      One thing I struggled with as a writer this year is my organization. I haven't always been able to put all my thoughts onto a paper while also being able to organize them correctly and put everything in the right spot. Back to my research paper, I didn't put all of my categories in the most effects spots possible for them. I didn't coin them together super well, which was a problem. As I move onto sophomore year, I hope to g

Free Post: Thanksgiving Day

     One of my favorite times of the year, Thanksgiving. My day started off with waking up to the smell of turkey and all kinds of other foods. I went downstairs into the kitchen where my mom was cooking. She made me go back upstairs because I had to take a shower and get dressed and stuff. When I came back down I talked to my family and watched football until dinner was ready.      As the day went by, my God Family visited to come spend the day at our house. We ate and then sat around the table and talked. Then we played some bored games and chilled. We watched more football and caught up with each other. It was a great day.
