Harry Potter?

     Growing up a lot of kids at school were big fans of Harry Potter. I was never really drawn to Harry Potter. I didn’t know much about it, but I still wasn’t interested. Then when Universal got the World of Harry Potter, I rode all the rides. They were actually some of my favorite rides, but I still didn’t understand what would pull so many people in and make them so interested that they would walk around in robes carrying wands in the heat. Then a couple of years ago, my cousins found out that I’d never watched any of the movies; for Christmas they bought my mom and I the whole 8 movie set. My mom and I took time and watched one at a time together. When I finished them with her I watched them all again with my boyfriend. Not to mention all of the “Harry Potter Weekends” on Freeform. I got involved in Pottermore. I started reading the books (even though I haven’t had time to get far.) And then the best part, I got to go back to Universal. I was so amazed by how I could see everything in a different light. I wanted to take the time to see everything I’d never bothered to notice before. I knew the stories behind the rides. I was excited by everything I saw. Since then I’ve gotten shirts and books even a keychain for my house of Ravenclaw. I was suddenly a part of the fandom that I had never understood as a child. Now it was all perfectly clear how I, along with so many others, had been amazed by the world J. K. Rowling had created. I’m glad my cousins gave me that push to get involved because Harry Potter is truely amazing.

NHS Induction Ceremony

     Tonight was my school’s induction ceremony for NHS. Twenty-three of us got accepted. For one night we got to be honored in front of our friends and families. I got to walk up on stage and accept my certificate with twenty-two of my classmates. It was nice to get acknowledged for our hard work. Also this will help us all with college which is awesome. I’m excited to keep moving.

Walkout Day!

     Today is National School Walkout Day! Students across the country  walked out of their classes at 10:00 A.M. to protest in whatever way they chose. I, as well as two other students, organized and planned our schools walkout. We got the permission of our school administrators to assure that no students that wanted to participate would get in trouble for leaving class. This also allowed us to have teachers and a couple of police officers watch over the protest. Our walkout met in the school’s auditorium. For our demonstration we created a slideshow of all 17 victims of the Parkland school shooting; giving one minute for each student.  I was honestly amazed that so many students participated and stayed quiet and respectful for all 17 minutes of the presentation. Many of today’s protests were focused on gun control, but that was not our goal. Our goal was to honor the victims of Parkland and to bring attention to the safety of our schools. I strongly believe th...

Fishing

      I’ve liked fishing since I was a little girl. I’ve always had a lot of fun going out with my family and spending time at the lake. However, my family stopped going when I was still young. I still like to fish, but I didn’t really have anyone to take me. Today my boyfriend bought me a fishing license and took me fishing with his family. I had a lot of fun. Fishing is one of his favorite things so it was nice to be able to go with him. I’m hoping that since he got me a license we will be able to go more often over the summer. I think it’ll be a good chance for us to do something together that he really enjoys.
