The New Year


     Last year was the year of glow ups. I have a tiny one, but my friends had a huge one. From getting contacts to having your hair dyed. My style definitely got a lot better as well. I am doing good with grades and sports so that year was kinda ok. The end of last year was just weird though.
         This year will be the year of growing up. I am going to be in high school, so I need to become more mature. I am the most mature person in my family but mostly do not act like it. I will not get my permit this year but need to be ready for that. Also, not have so much drama in my life. With drama I will not get anything done.
        I can improve my life for the new year by staying away from the wrong crowd. People I don’t like need to stay away from me and I will do the same. Without those people in my life it will be perfect. Kicking those people away from me will be great so I can focus on important things not some pity stuff.
        My favorite part about last year was definitely growing closer with all my friends. Volleyball pretty much did that for me since we were with each other most of the day. We all mainly get along besides a few people. Also, just hanging out with them more and just having a great time while doing so.
          My most successful story from last year is doing good in softball. I am pretty ok at the sport. Last year was a great sports season which was good. I caught a lot of balls so that is a highlight from the season. Lastly, I did not strike out once which was a huge improvement.
        If I could celebrate the new year anywhere in the world, I would choose Paris. I have always wanted to go there and being on the Eiffel tower would be so amazing. Having it all lit up makes a great picture place. I could have a croissant in my hand.
         Last year in five words is sad, happy, scary, pretty, fast. All throughout last year it was all of that. The year went by so fast I do not remember half of the stuff. Becoming 13 was scary because you have more pressure on you because you’re a teenager. Around us nature was pretty even though we are destroying it. Sad and happy because those were just the main emotions the whole time.
        My three goals for this year are to do good in school, do good in sports, and better myself. For school I need to study more and pay attention. Sports, practice more and more every day. For myself make the changes I need to.

    Excellent job of completing all of the questions. Your answers were insightful and thoughtful. You are really showing maturity by stepping back and looking at yourself and what you need to do. You have so much potential in everything; I hope that you continue to grow and push yourself. Keep on the straight and narrow in high school; don't get involved in the wrong crowd and let yourself be sidetracked. You're too smart for that.

Introducing Me

Image
My name is Brooklyn I’m in 8 th grade in Chadwick Illinois. Some things I look for in a person is that they can’t be rude, they have to be caring, trustful, funny, smart, and clean.   Gabriela, my first ever pet, was so nice, she was a kitten, that was very fluffy. Things that interest me are what my mom does for her work, sports, and current events happening. Funny, not patience, and smart are a few of my traits. When I was six or seven, I moved from Lena to Chadwick so something I wish I could change is not moving here. It’s not that I don’t like it here I just want to know what would happen if I never moved. My favorite hobbies are playing sports such as volleyball, I like to draw but I’m not the best at it, and I like to collect shells.   A few things I do in my free time are play my sports, watch tv, and go shopping. With my sports though I don’t have much time to do much. My bucket list contains becoming a lawyer, doing good in my sports, and going to the Bahamas. I have a

Photos From my Town

Image
The first photo is of a friendly neighbor and me. My class and I were walking around town and I noticed she was outside working on her garden. So, I asked if she would take a picture with me, and she gladly said sure. I have seen her quite a few times and she was really nice and friendly. Lastly, yes I probably look really weird but we had spirit week and it was school color day. To conclude that is the description of the first photo. The second picture is a leaf while we were walking I saw this leaf and it looked perfect. There were no other leaves around it that looked so great. I took the picture at the beginning of the walk so it may be a little blury because we were rushing a little bit. To conclude that is really all I have to say about this picture. The last picture is of a tree, I find them really pretty when just looking at them in real life. Since it is fall the tree was turning colors and losing leafs. The road that this tree was on was covered with leaves and walking in

After Quarantine

What is the first thing you are going to do when the stay-home order is lifted?  The first thing that I am doing when the stay-home order is lifted is visiting my friends. It has been really boring not to be able to see and talk with them every day. I can text them but it is not the same as face to face. Also, I am going to Walmart because I need some stuff to try TikToks of course. Lastly, getting a new phone, I have been waiting to get one and now I can't because I am not gonna order online or go into the store.
