We Fought Back

We Fought Back is a book that is historicaly nonfiction by Allan Zullo who talks about seven stories from real teenagers who fought back during the holocaust. During this book it talks about how regular people were going to school and work to having to support each other in dark times, with each story the author wanted to describe to us how it felt for them and what pain and other emotions the people felt during these crucial years. All of them have a story of what they went through and what they did to survive all of there stories. It's crazy how these stories have strong message as to why everyone housed stand up for who or what they believe in.

My worst argument

My worst argument was with my mom about people being rude, I had been angry over a group of people who I knew and they were being very rude and irresponsible and it had made me angry at everything, when my my mom had found out she told me to explain about what had happened, my mom later had said some things that I didn't agree with and we had bantered back and fourth and I had said some things that she didn't agree with either but even then I thought what I was saying was right even when I was wrong.  After awhile I decided to give up my stubborn act and listen and even though I thought this was cliche heard that we shouldn't care what other people think. After that I learned that I shouldn't care what other people think because they won't be there in other times when I need help or when I'm having a good time. That was my argument and what I had learned.

Fake it till you Become it

What I am most confident about in my life is that I am comfortable with public speaking, what I need a confidence boost in is to stop procrastinating, I've had problem with procrastination ever since I was a was little, I always like to do my work under pressure but I know I shouldn't do that but I can't help but do it simce I have been use to it but I do try and pretend I am under pressure to finish my work and I have gotten better at it and I can distinguish now that when I take my time and not procrastinating it looks more efficient and non rushed.

I Am

 I am from where the streets are littered with different ethnicity's. I am from where crime plays hide       and seek justice.
 I am from rode to rode, to New York, to Florida, to Texas.
 I am from strong to confused to mournful.
 I am fearing my nightmares to living them.
 I am from growing stronger by the months to falling to pieces again.
 I am from living my ups and downs to staying steady.
 I am from faking it to making it

After *book summary*

This book I had read was called After, this fictional book is about just a normal girl who meets  a boy who is selfish and has an intimidating appearance, these two people collide and doesn't look like they match. But this book stands out to me more than others because of how well written is was and how just because there is one fight doesn't make it happily ever after, pride and prejudice and many other novels was talked about in this book and it fascinated me to see how you could take an older novel into something more modern, this book has many subjective and objective feelings that many people take on. The book has many plotwists in it which takes a toll to many other roller coaster moods, but I guess you'll just have to read the book to find out why.

What I did this break

During my break from school, there wasn't many things I could've done I outside because of how cold the weather was, but inside my cozy home I did help with making sorts of foods in my house, such as traditional foods me and my family would usually eat during this time of year, it was fun because I know that it had helped my mom out a lot and just spending time doing something that I knew would relieve some stress I felt good, and after we had presents and opening many surprising gifts there were many wrapping paper, tape, and many other things that littered the floor but not many people had wanted to help throw out trash or clean just a smidge bit, but I had no problem of helping anyone in need and I actually enjoyed helping others just to spend more time with them with break,  overall with helping everyone this break and having just a good laugh really made my two weeks off of school really fun.

Favorite Quote

My favorite quote is "If you can't fly, then run, if you can't run, then walk, if you can't walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward." -Martin Luther King Jr. I like this quote because it means many things to me especially when I lost a loved one, it's something that taught me that when something gets tough, even when there's a bad time the earth doesn't stop moving, the moon still sets and the sun still rises. But that can't keep us from moving to do something good or help someone out in need.

What Does My Name Mean?

Looking up my name I found one meaning and the meaning of my name was a listener, and also a Hebrew name or a name of God, I find it kind of easy to find my name a a meaning of listener, of course I don't always listen that's something you can distinguish but one someone's voice wants to be heard I'm always there if they need to talk to someone and I listen good when my friends want to talk about something, I also find it a good thing that my name is a child of God, but I guess I'm glad my parents named me that after all!

ThrowBack Thursday

In the summer of 2008 I remember it had been my birthday, and I had always asked for a pet but never gotten one, but on one faithful day of August 29th I heard my dad coming in through the door with something, I was very curious and tried to look at it until it had ran away! It was a dog! And I was very happy, we named him Possum and I had the best time with him, I had just turned six but I remember a whole lot of when me and my new dog played outside and got messy sometimes, I had a sibling at the time so sharing was a difficulty especially with our dog but we handled it pretty well.
