Today there was a sub and we had a Newsela assignment on canvas. In class I learned about the Great Turtle Origin myth story. The story is about this tribe that digs a hole into the ground and the chief's daughter falls through only to be saved by animals due to her beauty. They took the girl to their leader, a giant turtle, and he decided to make an island for her by placing dirt on his back. I liked the lesson because it was intriguing to learn about the stories the Native Americans created. Today I felt good and had a decent day at school.

My Holiday Break

      Over the break I spent a lot of time at home with my family. I didn't do much but I still enjoyed the time off.  In 2025 I want all A's and B's. This is because I want to improve my GPA. Another goal I want to achieve is to apply to colleges. I want a higher education after I graduate. I also want to get a job so that I can buy the things I want to buy. I want to start saving money but not for anything in particular, just to save. And lastly, I want to learn how to speak spanish fluently because my spanish currently is really hard to understand.

A time when I took a hiatus.

       I once took a hiatus from my sport. I played soccer and enjoyed it. But eventually, it became more of a task than a hobby for me. I had to constantly keep putting in effort to compete and was no longer enjoying playing. I couldn´t handle the competition so I took a hiatus. I came back to the sport a few months later with a new outlook on it. I no longer took it as a sport I was forced to play and be good at but instead just something I could do for fun or to get away. In class we copied some vocabulary words and did a worksheet on the new vocab.  I expanded my vocab today and learned new words that I can use on future writing assignments.

My Thoughts On Near Death Experiences

      Near-death experiences possibly suggest life after death. It's not just by sheer coincidence that people see visions and experience sensations close to death. I believe near-death experiences are glimpses beyond our lives and what we can see. Some people have reported seeing a light which could also be an indicator of an after-life. Others have seen loved ones whcih could mean that after death you are reunited with loved ones. Whatever happens after death im sure near-death experiences mean something.
