Good Year

This is year of 8th grade if I can recall  has been a roller coaster ride all year aroud. I've met new people that I never really talked to over the last 3 years of being in middle school. I hung out with new people this year and made a lots of good memories. I love all my teachers here they've thought me so much that I need to know. I'm really thankful. Also for the people who have supported me through all this year. I'm really gonna miss everyone since I'm not gonna be in the same school as everyone else. 8th grade was honestly a good year and now its almost over.

The Silent Sister

The book "The Silent Sister" by Diane Chamberlain is about a girl named Riley but recently her dad died and she's stuck with his will and dealing with everything. Her mother died 7 years ago and her sister supposedly committed suicide. The only family member she has is her brother. Her life is complicated having to deal with everything in his will. Riley then discovers by digging through her parents stuff that her sister Lisa never died. She then gets in the look for her sister, after she's been acused for murder. She then finds out her life has been all a lie. Her sister Lisa was her mother after all.

The book "The Silent Sister" by Diane Chamberlain is at least one of my top five favorite books. The story it self is so interesting it gets you hooked up right away and you can stop reading it. I also love how you feel like your with her and learning new things as she discovers more about her sister. You can also feel the way she feels when she finds out everything. Honestly this book is such a well made book and I suggest you to read this book. I recommend it mostly to a more mature audience because the book talks about mature topics.

Moving...

Its almost the end of 8th grade for me. Soon I'm off to high school. Its crazy how time goes by fast. Ima miss all my friends since I'm not gonna go to the same school. Im moving somewhere else and I'm truly gonna miss this place. I have so many memories here with my friends. I'm really hoping I can hangout with them over the summer. Honestly I have mixed emotions. I'm leaving the people who have been there to support me through everything. I'm really gonna miss talking to them at school. Although I'm gald at the same time because im going live 2 houses away from one of my best friends. It sucks having to move but sometimes its a good thing and I'm happy I am but I'm going to miss everyone.

Confusion

Honestly life is so confusing. One day you could be happy as can be and well some days you can have the worst days. Life is so confusing. I wonder what it would be like if it was perfect. Everything would be different, people would act different. I honestly don't know where I'm going with this but I'm kinda thankful life is hard. It teaches us all how to forgive or forget our mistakes and learn about them. Also how to past through hard times or regret even tho it might takes years. I haven't really had a hard life myself but I know other people had and I feel sorry for them. I've learned so much from a book I just wanted to express how I feel.

Hobby

My hobbies are if I can recall... only one which is drawing. I absolutely love drawing it's my only passion. This has been my hobby since I was about 7 years old. My brother got me into drawing because on day I just decided to copy him. Although,  I never thought it would have a big impact in my life. I love drawing so much and I'm still trying to be better. People tell me I was born naturally talented but I don't think so I just think it's time and practice. The only reason why I love drawing so much is because it's the only thing I'm good at. It's also so easy to express your creativity and how you feel without having to use words. I also have my own art area in my room with all my art supplies. This hobby has inspired me to do many things and I wish one day to turn this into my career.

Playlist

This is the type of music I listen to when I'm these moods. I suggest maybe checking some out. Well when I just want to chill is the album NAV by NAV or I listen to Bryson Tiller. When I want to feel energy or hyped is when I listen to the album DAMN by Kendrick Lamar or any Kendrick song. When ever I'm in a sad mood or down I tend to listen to rock music. My favorite rock band is Three Days Grace and Avenged Seven Fold. I can relate so much to their music but it's also very sad. When I just was to listen to music anywhere I tend to listen to a lot of J.Cole. My favorite albums of his is Cole World:The Sideline Story, 4 Your Eyez Only, Born Sinner. Actually every song of his I love and listen to. Anyway this is the type of music I listen to when I'm in a these types of mood. But I generally listen to this type of music whenever I'm doing something.

Empowered

The day I felt most powerful was the day when I helped my friend. I helped my friend because she was going through a lot. I would always be there to cheer her up and be understanding. If she ever needed support I was there for her. I felt powerful because not only did it make me feel good. I helped a friend out and made here feel better. It felt good being there for someone who need help and support. Although the day I felt most powerless was when I felt like I wasn't good enough, I didn't really like who I was. I realized everything I've done in the past to hurt people. I been wanting to change but it's hard and I felt that I couldn't change my actions at all. I tried and failed and tried but I still seem to not get it and it makes me feel powerless till this day.

Forged By Fire

The book I read was "Forged By Fire" by, Sharon M. Drapper. This book was about a boy named Gerald who lived with his mom. Although one day his mom couldn't take care of him because of her drug addiction so his aunt did. Gerald loved his aunt but she then died. Gerald mom came back after years with his little sister Angel. Gerald was so cognizant of her  sister he would protect her from her father Jordan Sparks. He would protect her because when Gerald went to live with them after her aunt died. Jordan would hit Angel and Gerald, but Gerald could take the hit but he did not like Jordan touching Angel.

The book "Forged By Fire" is the second book from series. The first book is "Tears of Tiger" and the third book is "Darkness Before Dawn." All these book are really good and mostly teen fiction. Although these book teach you a good lesson towards the end. The book Forged By Fire tought me that child abuse isn't good and that you should tell someone if it's happening to you. Just like Gerald told the police and got help. No should be abused for no reason, no one should get hit for any reason just because the person is angry, or for any other reason. Thats the lesson I learned from this book.
