Weekly Blog #14: Thanksgiving

 Happy Thanksgiving ‘Ilima

     This week has been short due to Thanksgiving but it was still good. Because of Thanksgiving, we had the Turkey Trot. For the Turkey Trot, we needed costumes and I went all out for my pilgrim costume. It was sad that my hat couldn’t even fit my head but the costume was still really good. But not a lot of people commented on my costume which was kind of lame. Standing out there was kind of boring as the only other people were very far away. Besides this, it was good and I got to see a lot of people I knew. In math, we were basically learning addition which we made many jokes on. It was teaching us how to add integers with different signs but it’s very easy and we joked that we were back in preschool. Now we can’t talk about this week without mentioning Thanksgiving. My Thanksgiving was different this year as it was a lot less people. But with less people let us be more experimental. We tried out a recipe for candy yams and it was really good. So overall, this week was good but definitely short.

The Candy Yams

My Pilgrim Costume 

     A highlight from this week would definitely be Thanksgiving. Eating with my family and having fun was definitely amazing. Another highlight was seeing the reactions of my pilgrim costume from the other leadership members. It was very funny and I should do more surprise things. A lowlight would be the standing while working the Turkey Trot. It was boring and I honestly felt kind of lonely. But the event turned out good which is great.

    The lesson I learned from this week is very unique and is something I already knew but the event was funny. So in AVID, we got to work on puzzles and I grabbed a seemingly simple 100 piece puzzle. But half the pieces were white…Who makes a puzzle that is literally two different colors that all look the same? This goes to my point that life is sometimes unfair. Nothing is handed to you and the situation might just be not be in your favor. But you still have to work hard. This concludes my blog and I’m thankful for you. Cheers to another day!

Hello 'Ilima As I lay down on my bed, my phone starts ringing.  "Hey, it's John from the Book Club! Are you ready for the first meeting?" Oh no! I panic. When I first moved in, there was an advertisement for a book club and I decided to join it. The first meeting would be today and I would need to talk about a book I recently read. I looked around my house, trying to find the right book to talk about, but none of them stood out. None except "2425", I grabbed the book, got dressed, and dashed towards where the book club was being held.  "Hello everyone! Welcome to the first meeting of our book club. I hope you are all ready to share your books" John said, sitting from his spot in the group circle. After the first couple of people shared their books, it was then my turn to share. I took a deep breathe and then began talking. Summer: After 7th grade ended, there was a short break where we could relax before it was time for Bridge to start up again. Un...

Weekly Blog 3-7 (60): Meeting of the Victors

Hello 'Ilima What is up ‘Ilima! This week of school was much more of a ramp up week as next week is the big one. But that doesn’t mean this week wasn’t full of stuff to do. The biggest school event would be the Graduation Meeting. During this meeting, parents would learn about the 8th grade graduation and learn about the different parts of the graduation. There wasn’t very much to do as a leadership member, but it was still good to hear about the information for my graduation. That was the only school event, but I still had a bunch of class work. First, we have had this project in Computer Science where we need to guide a robot from one point to another. This project has been pretty frustrating at times because the robot sometimes just doesn’t do what you want it to do. And it’s hard to make changes to your programming because we are sharing the robot amongst the whole class, making it difficult to see the changes you make. I wish we had multiple robots in order for us to be able t...

Weekly Blog 3-6 (59): Shopping for Tests

 Hello ‘Ilima What’s is up! This week was only 4 days long, but was still full of many things. Starting with Leadership related things, we had the second Recognition Night of the year on Thursday. There was a lot less people this time, but it was still fun to cheer on the people who got good grades. I had gotten a 4.0 and walking up on stage was cool. The most interesting part of Recognition Night was what happened before it as me and some people from Leadership had fun doing random things outside. We had a race, listened to music, and more. Moving onto school stuff, we had the Science SBA this week. I was pretty anxious because I had no idea what to expect for the test. So when I first opened the test, I was met with a lot of things that I had not learned before. But I endured the pain and after two classes, I finished my SBA with Level 4. It was a terrible experience, but at least I got a good score. Final thing I will mention is that there was an ELA poster that we had to create...
