A time when I had to rely on someone else.

     I once had a math test coming up and had barely studied. I didn't really understand the topic and I was falling behind. There wasn't much time left so I asked my older sister for help. She reluctantly agreed and walked me through the practice questions. After practicing for a while I finally understood how to do the problems on my own. I ended up passing the test and it was all thanks to her.

In class today we read chapters 14 and 15 of A Lesson Before Dying and answered some discussion questions regarding it.

The chapters taught me the importance of having people that support you.

Someone I forgot

 In the 6th grade I had a friend named Ruben. We were very close at the time. However, Ruben did not return to my middle school the next year.

None of my middle school friends know what happened to him but I hope he's doing well.

A conversation that changed me.

         I've always tried copying whatever my older brother did. It's because I looked up to him. I copied his entire personality including bad traits. He wasn't attentive in class and regularly skipped school and I began to do the same. After an argument with my mom about my grades, my brother wanted to talk. He explained to me that he wanted what was best for me and that it was in my best interest to get everything together. In class today we worked on a vocabulary assignment. I learned new vocabulary words. It could possibly help in the future to improve my writing.

      Today in class we did a Newsela assignment on pros and cons of the Pledge of Allegiance. There was a fire drill and we lost some class time. The lesson today taught me about different reasons for standing for the pledge and reasons for not standing. Both sides have their reasons and it's important to remember that standing for the pledge is not mandatory in the U.S. I had a good time in class and learned something new.
