4/30 journal: when do you seek others council

I seek others concul or advice when I need help or when I'm confused about something. I seek help from freinds, peers, family members, and mostly my mom. I'm getting older and I know my mom or freinds arnt always going to be there to help me so I'm realizing that I need to make my own decisions.

My master piece

For my master peice it originally was going to be about clothing and fashion but I thing a more interesting and mind grabbing topic is Senioritis. We're all seniors and we're all guilty if slacking off a bit. Some more than others but I think it would be interesting to explore it more and find out what's really in our heads or what's distracting us.

4/29 journal: what makes April the cruelest month

In my oppinion April is the cruelest month on the west coast because it's spring and it gets really hot but at the same time we get April showers. The whole month of April is a mind fuck because it starts off with April first witch is April fools day and everyone and their mother is lieing to you and making you look like an idiot then following up with the weather. In my oppinion April is a trip but it's good because it means we're close to the end of the school year!

Count down

Only 1 month of school left! I don't know wheather to cry from excitement or because I'm nervous.

Spring break recap

Spring break was filled with fun this year! As muh as we all love school it was so muh harder coming back to school and waking up this year. It's usually hard every year but this year was almost impossible. I think it's because the school year is so close to being done and we all know it. The beach, camping, parties, LA, Bon fires, and made new freinds. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with spring break in California. Im so sad that spring break had to end but I'm so ready for summer now!

Journal 4/28: what did you learn over break

Over spring break I had lots of conversations with lots of people and in those conversations lots of topics took place. Topics on school, weather, who's dating who, and who got grounded. I learned a bunch of things like what school in going to in the fall, who broke up with who, new vocabulary words, that I need to pull up my grades, how to budget, how to clean my windows, and how to fit my celing fan. I didn't learn much that was school related but none the mess I learned new things every day.

Journal 4/14 topic: how does the media portray teenagers?

In my oppinion the media portrays teenager as trouble makers. Unless you have straight A's and are on the honnor roll I feel like adults and the media really point teens out as "gang bangers" and "troubled kids" and that's not always the case. Sure we do stupid things that adults look down on but that Dosent make us bad people. It just makes us young, dumb, and nieve. Adults and people in general constantly forget that they were once our age and just as adventurous. I'm sure some teens really are causing havoc and are troubled but for the most parts we just want to have fun without being looked down upon.

Up to me

today we had a writing topic that asked how to I define success to myself? I think I define success by how much I get success. if im at practice and im practicing to get better at something I don't see or feel success until it pays off. I feel like that's how we all judge success by if it pays off or not because if it doesn't pay off and you "fail" at something than there's no point in saying that you "succeeded" when you didn't.
