What I’ve Learned From My Blog

     It’s been a long school year. This is my 76th blog. Who would’ve thought my 11th grade Honors English class would start this craziness. While doing these blogs I’ve learned that it’s hard to write about things other people will care about. I’ve learned that I actually like writing. I’ve learned that writing about myself can be easy but most people reading my blog care more about the bigger issues. I’ve learned that I’m really not that good at managing my time but what teenager actually is. I’ve learned that this blog was good for me. This blog has given me motivation to do things I want. It has given me a chance to learn more about myself and how I work. I know most of my classmates would probably say that they hated blogging but I have learned to like it. I do think I’ll like blogging more when it’s on my own terms. It’s been a crazy time but here we are: ending the school year with blog number 76.

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.
