Advice for the class of 2016

If you have Pre-Algebra with Mr. Giese you have to maintain a C+ or higher throughout the whole year. His teaching methods might seem difficult but overall they are pretty easy if you know what your doing. He teaches you everything you need to know and gives you plenty of time to come in for resource and stay after school for extra practice on something you don't quite understand, until you understand it.

If you have Art II with Mrs. Carroll you have to know that she talks a little too much and needs to provide her students with more work time. A positive to this class is that she has a wide selection of projects that you can work and complete and they don't always have to be the same thing as the other students in the class. One of the negatives to this class is that she does not allow gum in the class room.

If you have Mr. Roehl for Science class you have to know he is very funny but can be strict when it comes to turning in your homework in time, he will stay on your case if you haven't completed a overdue assignment.

Journal- June 6th 2011

As a writer I have evolved a lot.
I started off as a 7th grader who didn't really understand the whole point of grammar, and didn't know to set up essays. I used to write short stories with no meanings, and never finished them.
Now as a 8th grader I right proficient level essays and when I am writing stories I use bigger and more stronger words, and I write with more meaning.
I still have a lot to work on, some of my weakness' are sentence structure, and where to use words to make the story more interesting and exciting.

As I get older I want to be able to write in an advanced level, and possibly become a very popular author.

Fiction Seminar Short Story Middle Paragraph

Bliss clenched her baseball bat firmly in her hand. The rain splattered down on her as well as the sidewalk. She trudged over to a small diamond store on the corner of the long street. The neon lights of the ‘open’ sign flickered off. She hid in the corner of the dark street and waited for the last employee to lock up the building. Bliss moved quickly to the side of the shop. Once the employee was out of sight she swung the bat at the windows, watching the glass shatter and fall around her. She lept through and started smashing all the diamond cases stealing whatever she could before the police came. After fitting a pound or two of the riches in her pockets she ran over to the cash register, digging through the thousands of dollars that were obtained in it. In the distance she could hear the police sirens. Bliss frantically gathered everything that she needed and started towards the door, but before she could leave a policeman entered. He noticed a shadow in the corner of the store. “Who’s there?” He yelled. He moved deeper into the store and looked to where he saw the reflection only to see that Bliss was gone.

Short Story- The Beginning

In a world where everyone is born with a moon tattoo on their shoulder, there is a prophecy that says two will come who are “different yet the same.” One will have the power to save the world, and the other will have the potential to destroy it. This prophecy comes into play when two children are born at the same time, miles and miles in between them. The first is born in a village to the north of Aeralyn, with the given name of Lily Ross. She is different from everyone else in the world, for her moon tattoo is crystal clear. The second prophesied child is born in a much different setting, for he is the son of the King of Aeralyn. But this Prince is unlike any before, as he is born without any tattoo at all. He is given the name David Moiln.
Not many people in Aeralyn know the prophecy that speaks of the two children, but those who do matter, as they are the ones who know that if they gain control of both children, they will have the power to both save and destroy.

Then, one day, the time comes for the children to learn of their destiny when Lily’s village is burned to the ground by an invading army. Lily is the lone survivor, and takes it upon her 15 year old self to tell the King about the invaders. Once there, she is told about her role in the prophecy, and she and David set off to try and stop the invasion, along with Ronnie (the King’s closest advisor, also the one who knew about the prophecy), and Sal (a member of the King’s Royal Guard) for protection and help.

Lily Ross opened the tiny door to her house. The sweet aroma of honey bread filling the air. “Momma! Poppa! I’m home!” She declared; her voice cheerful. Her small dog greeted her by running around her ankles yapping happily, but its spirited personality faded and was replaced with a soft whimper. An ear piercing screech sounded out followed by the loud pounding of horses trampling over a dirt path. Lily’s actions were accelerated, ready for any type of emergency that reigned on her home. She teared out of the small shack and up the stained pavement. Rain stormed down from above and ascended to the cloth on her back.

Reflection १५/४/२०११

If I were to go down into history I would like to be known as a famous author or artist. I probably wouldn't have that much control over how I would be remembered because the fans/government get to choose whether or not they give me special awards. I most likely will remember this school because it taught me everything I know, art and writing wise. Others will remember me as a good friend.
I thought the program was funny and interesting because it was cool to find out things that have happened that I never knew of.
My favorite story was probably the 1st.
