Well in D.c I had fun. It was a lot to do, a lot to see and fun times. My group was fun.
We had went to the Holocaust Museum and there we had saw a lot of things. It was so sad at looking at the wall where people who were still living had made pictures to describe what it was like when Hitler was alive. It was so sad that I wanted to cry like if I didn’t go to the Holocaust I would of never new hoe sad it really was.
After us the Holocaust we had went walking to go see the memorials. It was a hot day but we still had walked very far. Also the memorials were nice and I had liked them a lot. They were big way taller than me aha. Also when we were walking to the Lincoln Memorial I had saw all these squirrels so I had decided to go and chase it. The Mia Kayla Shantel and Tania had made this noise and the squirrel had looked up and looked at me and started running towards me. By that time I ran back and didn’t mess with the squirrels for the rest of the trip. But other than that the trip was fun and I had liked it a lot.
After we had all met up to go and eat the food at Union Station well let’s just say it was a lot to pick from. But there food was good but one thing I didn’t like was that I had order before all these people and everybody had after me that order got there food before me. Yeah I was mad and I wasn’t even in a good mood before we went there because I didn’t feel good. But D.C was the best trip ever.

I never had thought that I would have got accepted to Tech I was so happy when I had got the letter. Now I am going to tell you why this was my proudest moment. My proudest moment was when I had got accepted to Tech. I was so happy that I just couldn’t stop looking at the paper and telling my mom. My mom was like okay Tynia I get it you’re going to Tech calm down. But I was so happy that I couldn’t stop so I had to call everybody in my family and tell them they were so happy to. But at first I didn’t think that I would get in so I was so scared. Well I really don’t have much to say about this because it’s not that much I can say but I did think that this was my proudest moment.

Middle school was a fun and full of memories we had some good and bad times but I’m only writing about five memories. If I were to write all my memories that would take forever.

   One of my memories is when I had got an “A” on my Report Card. The reason why this one of my memories because this was like the first time I had got an “A” and worked hard to earn that “A”. I remember that I was so happy, that was the best day and memory I remembered.

    My second memory was basketball in 6^th grade. We had so much fun and we won all our game except two. Even thought I didn’t play that much it was still fun. Basketball was the first sport that I had sprained ma ankle in. This was a great memory for me to.

   More memories were when I played basketball in 8^th grade. I had to show off for my hometown Georgetown, I had to show them my skills and everything ha. But one day in practice I was trying to say shoot and by mistake I ended up cussing. Everybody was laughing. But the one day in practice again I had got the wind knocked out of me because I ran into somebody but and I fly across the gym. It was funny but I was hurting.

   Another one was playing field hokey and I didn’t even have a clue what I was doing. But I played well and stuck it out till the end. Field hockey wasn’t for me. I remember getting hit in the leg and in the arm and I came off the field about to cry but then I just sucked it up.

      Last my memory was all this 8^th grade drama. It was a mess I hate it and will always hate it. Drama wow between girls I mean over dumb stuff. Stuff that didn’t even matter. This led to fights and then more drama and on and on and on. You would think that all these fights solved there problems but they didn’t.

   Middle school was a fun and full of memories we had some good and bad times but I’m only writing about five memories. If I were to write all my memories that would take forever. But I just told you my five memories.

Well I had never thought I would ever get an “A” in L.A for a marking period grade. Well I did and that’s why this is my accomplishment.

Well ever since I became a student at Mariner Middle School I have never got an “A” in L.A before. All I had ever thought was shoot if I can get a “B” or a “C” then I’m just not going to try hard to get an “A”. I just didn’t trust myself enough that I could get a “A”. But now I know that as long as I do my work and I work hard and listen better I can get better grades.

On the day that I had got my report card I saw a 98. This had changed my thinking a lot. When I looked at it again I said to myself “the only way I got this “A” is because I earned it, and I worked hard for it.” Till this very day I trust myself that I can get any grade that I want as long as I work hard, listen and ask for help if I need it.

This really changed my life because this “A” had got me thinking a lot. Also because now that I trust myself I can continue to get good grades and do better. So now when I go to High School all I got to say is if I put my mind to it, work hard, listen and ask questions I can get an “A” and be happy.

Well I had never thought I would ever get an “A” in L.A for a marking period grade. Well I did and that’s why this is my accomplishment.

-> This is one of the most books i think i would read over and over again because this book is a good book and also this was a true stry. I think when people tell what happened in there life is cool because they are not ashamed of what happened when they were our age.

If i can’t do
what i want to do
then my job is to not
do what i don’t want
to do
It’s not the same thing
but it’s the best i can
do
If i can’t have
what i want . . . then
my job is to want
what i’ve got
and be satisfied
that at least there
is something more to want
Since i can’t go
where i need
to go . . . then i must . . . go
where the signs point
through always understanding
parallel movement
isn’t lateral
When i can’t express
what i really feel
i practice feeling
what i can express
and none of it is equal
I know
but that’s why mankind
alone among the animals
learns to cry

Reflection- I really like this peom. I think this poem is talking about how she doens’t want to do something that she doesn’t want to do. But to not make her parents mad or anything she will do it anyways. Also when she says” If i can’t have what i want . . . then my job is to want what i’ve got and be satisfied that at least there is something more to want” i think that this means even though she didnt want to do this job she is still going to do it anyway because she is satisfied that she had something else that she wants.

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice –
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
“Mend my life!”
each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do –
determined to save
the only life you could save.

Reflection- This poem is a nice poem and i really like it. I think this poem is about how your life is that you a life. Then they are talking about how another voice can keep you company like it’s okay to be alone sometimes. If you are alone you still have a voice to hear even though it is not yours. And you know that voice because it sounds like your own but you are not sure.

Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne’er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.

Not one of all the purple host
Who took the flag today
Can tell the definition,
So clear, of victory

As he, defeated, dying,
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Break agonized and clear!

Reflection- I think this poem is mostly about how during a war. How they had to fight they didnt care if they had to die for there country they knew it was going to be a good thing. And how they had came out of the war with victory.
