1 year rollercoaster ride

Wow, this was quite a year huh.  I will definitely miss everyone, i had atleast one memorie with each and every one of you guys.  I cant belive this year of school is over, and ill be going to 8th grade.  time flew by way too fast, but im still ready for summer!  I will cherish every memory i had this year, espicially the retreat.  So im just going to talk about all the main things that happened throughout this year.  Summer work days, i was just a shy girl.  i was scared to talk to anyone besides cheana, alesia, and jahlyssa.  more throughout summer i got closer to my period and others, but i was still shy.  we all got our parents, mines were korey and khrizz(x we had a family.  korey as the mom, khrizz as the dad, and jah was my sister.  also the beach field trip.  it was fun and i just had the greatest time ever there!  We all got closer, and kept fighting for the floatie cus we kept going in the deep(x  but we just had a better bond.  then came the first day of school.  i remember elections, i really wanted to be president.  i made a campaign poster and everything(x  turns out i won, and i was so happy.  lol, then we were all trying to finish AR which wasnt a problem for me, and all trying to get our grades up to go to the retreat.  my gpa that quarter was 3.8, my highest eveeeer.  lol, then 1st quarter was done and there was the retreat.  it wasnt really what i expected, but i still had a good time.  i really liked the cooking contest and the talent show xD  ugh, i miss the old period 2, but i guess things happen for a reason.  2nd quarter came, and i got myself into a problem for almost the whole quarter.  i was so dumb to make the mistakes i made, but hey atleast i learned something from it.  for almost 2 months i was in it.  i remember losing my priveledges and not being able to work ISA and go to the 1st bowling field trip.  but i managed to get myself out of it.  2/3 of us made our way out of the problem.  i was able to go to the 2nd bowling field trip, which was way better then going to school.  i seen someone i didnt expect to see(x  lol it was just weird.  then break, and the winter field trip.  ala moana was the best.  i still remember me and roxi struggling to find starbucks!  once we found it, we never bought anything because the line was toooooo long.  it took us like 30 minutes(x  i liked the fireworks, and it was just a good way to spend my day.  also in 2nd quarter, we lost someone in period 2... but i guess this class just wasnt for her.  3rd quarter came and period 2 got into a problem with the playlists.  we did the opposite of what mr.ing said, but we still managed to get our self out of it.  also orientation.  period 2 also had problems with orientation but we still fixed it.  orientation was fun!  i didnt really mind staying in every free time we had.  3rd quarter was busy.  but not as busy as 4th quarter!  class day and banquet.  i stayed in through all my free time either giving out forms or collecting.  class day was really fun!  i just had a chance to just get out and have fun.  ooops forgot about track.  well track was fun for 4rd and 4th quarter!  even though i wasnt fast, i just had a lot of fun no matter what.  recognition night wasnt bad, i think it went smooth this quarter.  but graduation was crazy, it still went by fast and i actually liked being m.c.  time really does fly by way too fast in leadership.  i wish i could redo this year and just recap and go back to the good times.  also forgot, my interview was either 3rd or 4th quarter.  i got conditionally accepted back in(x

 The highlight of my year could have to be the last day of 2nd quarter.  that was my main goal to work at the time.  it just helped me get out of the big problem i was in.  it just marked the time i got out of the problem i was in.  i didnt like the problem, but im actually sort of glad i got in it.  that way i learned something no one else did.  i know more and know what to do ext time.  if i ever get into another problem, i would be able to problem solve.  i know what to do, and this time i wont hesitate and ill know what to do.  winter fair was fun, even though i didnt get to walk around with my friends.  its better to place my priorities first rather then push it aside to have fun.  i could have fun another time.  but the problem taught me so much.  after i got out of that problem i was scared i was going to get in to another one(x  i was kind of disappointed in myself for not getting our earlier with the others, but oh well.  i learned something they didnt.  the last day of 2nd quarter was just a pretty good day for me.  i got out of the problem, and i had fun with my friends afterschool.  saved my friends for last(x  i how i wouldve been now if i asked a dumb question to ruin my whole chance of getting out of the problem.  i was so lucky to be able to work candy grams, then winter fair.  i was just the happiest person ever when i got my priveledges back.  that last day was just a chill day.  i was happy i could work and do what a leadership student does.  i would just exist, but that time i was just treated like a leadership student again.  i didnt just exist, i would be able to do something.

 

The lesson i learned is that not everyone is going to stay.  for example, period 2.  we started off with 6 in the summer.  then 2 more came along, but those 2 left throughout the year.  but the same 6 people survived and finished what we all started.  not everyone will stay, and thats alright.  we all have someone who left us.  we all downed over someone who left, and theyre doing so much better without us.  but thats okay, even though it might not seem like it is.  but if they stay by your side, not the way you wanted them to its alright.  friends, best friends, more then friends, as long as theyre by your side.  maybe not through your whole life, but still there for you.  i learned its not always about the ones you lost, but the people who stay.  cherish the people who are with you right now because one day god is going to need one of his angels back.  dont forget the memories from those you lost, but dont down over them either.  dont be sad you cant make any more memories with that one person, because you could always make memories with others.  so what your best friend and you arent friends anymore, maybe god has someone else who is more trust worthy.  so what you lost your boyfriend/girlfriend, maybe god thinks you deserve better.  not everyone is going to stay, and not everyone is going to be real, but cherish the memories with those who stay by your side.  like period 2, who i know is always going to be there!  even though the 8th graders are leaving, i know theyll always be there for me and im always there for them.  even if they stay or not, im still thankful and lucky to have made memories with them!  not everyone in period 2 stayed, but thats okay.  that doesnt give us a reason to stop moving forward.  so stop downing because you lost someone special!  dont cry because it ended, smile cus it happened(:

 

Quarter 4 adventure

Idk why, but my pictures are out of order, so dont , mind that(x  Well this was hell of an adventure.  So this was a good quarter  I dont think or remember any problems that happened.  This quarter had the most events.  We had banquet, ice palace field trip, track meet, recognition night, elections,and the biggest one of all graduations.  I have to say time does fly by in leadership  I still cant believe the 8th graders are leaving.  Im miss them lots!  I hope period 2 stays in touch!  Well i wish i could be there at banquet.  i wanted to see everyone in leadership!  im pretty sure they all looked beautiful!  Class day was really fun.  but i do remember having a stuffy nose throughout it.  but i still had a lot of fun.  also track meet.  i think we all did really good.  although the results werent were what i was expecting, we all did a good job.  recognition went smoothly.  elections were good.  although i didnt win, i think that jahlyssa deserved it.  but honestly i think that someone else should have won the 8th grade class president, jayde.  she would do a great job and i honestly thought that she should have won.  but what makes me sad this quarter is how jez didnt get in leadership...i just wanted her to be by my side again.  i wanted someone else from period 2 there.  i think she would have made a big comeback from this year.  but oh wells, i hope we keep in touch.  the new people are making me wonder how next year is going to be...still thinking if its going to be a good year or not.  graduation went smooth.  i actually liked being M.C.  this time i wasnt scared, like the first time i went on T.V.  we cleaned up fast, and everyone just looked to pretty!  I really am going to miss the 8th graders.  especially the period 2 ones! <3

The highlight of this quarter was ice palace.  i had a lot of fun.  it was just a chance to get away from school, and to get all the stress off.  to just take a break and be with my friends for a little.  also i havent been to palace in a looooong time so it was good to just go once in a while.  me and michael just kept cruising around.  he was with me the whole time, well since he is my best friend.  i hung out with him the most.  we just kept racing each other around the rink.  i really enjoyed it, even though i had a stuffy nose that day.  i just barely hung out with michael at that time, so we had that day to catch up on everything.  we updated each other on whats been going on.  it was a good time to just lay back and not worry or stress on any homework that was due or anything.  all i did was skate and be with my friends.  since during that time i stayed in for the morning, recess, and lunch/advisory.  so i wasnt with my friends and wasnt really hanging out with them.  so it was just good to be with them and communicating with most of them.  michael fell asleep on the ride back, and we all took pictures of him(x  i felt bad, but it was really funny LOL.  he was sitting right next to me and my friend asia tied a part of his hair into a pony horn thing.  he wasnt even mad!

The lesson i learned is to just try something new.  i tried out track, and i guess it was a good choice i made because i made lots of new friends.  even though i wasnt the fastest runner, i still had lots of fun.  i met lots of new people.  also i got closer to more people, that i dont even think i would have been close to if i didnt join.  track just became a family.  i would have had that family if i didnt try something new.  if i didnt try, then i dont even know where i would be now.  i just loved track.  something new, and i actually liked it.  even though it was so tiring, i actually liked it a lot.  i loved everyone in track and we just bonded.  we had lots of laughs and we all got along better then i expected.  like i said, we were a close family.  i didnt think that anything like that would happen.  i didnt expect that.  i was scared to join track actually.  the first day i honestly wanted to quit because i was tired from conditioning(x but im glad i didnt.  i wouldnt have gotten so close to any of those track people.  i wouldnt really be talking to who i talk to now.  i wouldnt be able to spend more time with leadership or any of the others in track i was close to.  so its a good thing i tried something new.  i cant just live the same old things and have to change.  have a little change, and it will be worth it.

(Lesson Learned)

(Summary of the quarter)

Last full week !

Are you guys as excited for summer as I am? (X.  Well heey guys!!  Tomorrow is my birthday lmao.  Well lets get down to business (x. Monday, just school and then home.  I dont remember or recall doing anything, so I thinm I just went home.  Tuesday, the same thing.  I hate staying home so much cus it's so boring. Then ththere's wednesday, the SAME thinf as monday and tuesday.  Ugh my life is so boring sometimes I swear like seriously.  I wish I could just be out doing something everyday.  Thursday we had graduation practice and elections were that day.  I went for SBG president against jah.  Voting was pretty interesting.  Also on that day I was feeling so sick.  I had a running nose and I was so drowsy.  My throat was sore and it hurt when I talked.  I was having problems with people, and that day til today we still argue.  I ask for something simple they cant give me.  Not the day to irratate me.  Graduation practice finished around 4, then I went home to rest.  Friday graduation practice after school too.  I stayed in for periods 5 and 3, helping out.  I still need to make adjustments to slide show, and graduation is on tuesday!!  also, jah won which she deserves it!  She would do a great job.  After graduation practice I went to taco and met up with my friends.  Then after we went to my friends pool, jesika , and I had a great time!!  I had a lot of fun and I even jumped off her roof.  I do wish that emi and chez were there, then it would be so much better.  It was fun!  Then after we were all done, me jesika and malia went to taco bell.  Then my parents picked me up and we went to pho 808.  I didn't even eat much.  I only drank the soup from my moms pho.  Then saturday.  Malia, chez, and emi came over and we went to the community pool by my house.  We never had a membership so we just got money to pay the $7 each.  But when we got there there was a party so then the guy just let us in.  The pool wasn't as good as it was at jesikas house, hut it was still fun.

the highlight of my week was definitely on friday after practice.  Going to the pool was so much fun.  It was good to just get out of the house or to jist get away from school for a while.  I miss being with my friends everyday in the beginning of the year.  I started off summer and j had a great time!!  The pool was a good way to started of summer.  Much more things to do this summer and im excited.  I loved friday, I was just so happy and energetic at the pool.  She let us borrow bikinis and gave us clothes she didn't want, which were nice !!  Her house is the best, and it would good to be spending it with some friends.  Summer is going to be so much fun.  The pool I jumped off the roof like 5 times.  We were supposed tohave .a sleepover but none of us was allowed to  if we all could then it would be so much fun.  But still, the pool was fun again.  We kept jumping on the inflatable couch and beds and we all kept squishing in for a picture.  Jesika also has a water proof phone so we made videos underwater!!  We barely knew eachother, but we got a lot closer.  Shes so nice and open and im glad we got to know eachother way better.  We misjudged eachother at first, but we are all good and chill with eachother now.  We all got a little closer, but a little too close xD. I cant mention it on here, I promised I wouldn't tell anyone xD !

The lesson I learned is just cus you dont get something now, theres always later.  Now not getting elected was okay, because theres always highschool.  Also I should give other people a chance , since I was 7th grade class president.  I should give others a chance and theres always next time.  Like if you cant go somewhere today, theres always next time.  Make time for it another day.  Its not like theres no other chance of doing something or winning something.  Theres always other opportunities out there but we need to find them.  We can't iust be complaining about it, because your wasting too much time were you could be finding other opportunities.  We can't be cry babies.  Keep moving forward and get over it!  Theres another chance out there waiting for someone to take, and it could be you!!  Just find opportunities and take it while it lasts.  Theres always a chance for something that you Couldn't have before.  so watch out for some chances,  because nothing is impossible, unless you believe it is.  Whatever your mind thinks will affect everything.  So if your feelings get the best of you, and you cry about it youre wasting so much time.  Time that could be used by taking a chance.  All things are possible (: !

Hurry up summer!

Well this was an odd week.  I miss khrizz, even though it was only like a couple days without her.  It just isn't the same anymore, idk.  Things are way more quiet now in A101.  I actually miss her asking me to buy her an arizona xD  But oh wells.  Monday, just a boring day.  school was a drag.  I only like hanging out with my friends at school.  But yeah.  This whole week me michael and faith kept trying to plan a day to go to the park, but we never actually did(x  But monday was good.  Our job was T.V. this week.  Mondays broadcast was too loud, and Mr.Ing didn't like the way it ended.  So we couldn't go on
the next day.  The next day period 4 went on T.V.  School was the same.  Boring periods, but the only good thing about school is like I said, friends.  But I barely hang out with anyone in my team besides Jah and Michael(not garces.)  So yeaaah.  After school I didn't go anywhere.  Just straight home.  Actually I think I went to taco bell since the security kicked me and alesia off campus while waiting for my ride, so we just went to taco bell and got picked up there.  Wednesday was a good day.  Me, faith, jez, and garces did a plan job to wear our track shirts the day before in AVID.  Since we all sit on the same table.  Then we took a picture that day.  I think after school me barbie chez and emi (i forgot who else) went to safeway.  I never bought anything because I didn't wanna use up all my money.  Same thing on Thursday.  We went to safeway, with other people this time.  Then after we went to my house, but they only stayed for like 10 minutes since they had to be home around 5 and it was already 4:50.  I go to safeway a lot now(x  On Friday me, asia, rhea, barbie, and chez went to taco bell.  They bought things but i didn't since i forgot to bring my ID so I had to buy a new one -.-  I had like $2 left.  Then after we took the 44 bus and took a joy ride around.  Rhea had to leave before we went to safeway.  So it was just me, asia, barbie, and chez left.  At safeway they bought starbucks and i was stuck watching them drink like i was for the past two days.  After chez came over to my house and we went to the movie in the park.  I was with Ryan, since we never hung out in like 5ever,  We were so close in 6th grade and he was my best friend but we drifted.  So it was good hanging it with him like old tines.  The movie was frozen and chez sang almost every single song during the movie xD  Also on friday, me and jez campaigned for monday by posting a picture(x  Then other people helped by reposting it and we didn't ask, which was really nice of them.

The highlight of my week would have to be the movie in the park.  I had a pretty good time hanging out with ryan and chez.  Then there was this guy on my street who just kept following us, and her was just really irritating.  I wanted to slap him across the face almost every time he talked.  But yeah I still had a good time(x  I actually watched the movie this time, somewhat.  But it would've been better if more people were there.  Like old friends from holomua or new friends from ilima.  Me and ryan barely even talk to each other.  But hanging out with him again felt like 6th grade with chez(x  I miss hanging out with him tho.  I actually miss going to his house xD  We used to go to each others house almost every day before.  I even remember his birthday before, when his mom dropped the pizza on the table xD  But hanging out with him brought back memories, and the times I really miss.  It would be me, him, alesia, and other people from holomua always hanging out.  But was all drifted, we don't talk anymore since we either moved to other schools or we just plain hang out with different people.  Hopefully one day was all get together and just do what we used to do before.  We always had the most fun.  So it was good to at least hang out with Ryan for the night!

The lesson I learned is that people leave for a reason.  On friday i realized that there were many people who left.  But whoever left there was always someone to replace them who made me twice as happier.  So everyone leaves for a reason.  Even thought it hurt a lot, someone took there place.  When someone left, it hurt a lot.  But eventually you'll get better, and some one else with come and you'll forget about that other person.  It will take time to realize that anyone who left isn't worth being sad over.  They aren't worth fighting for if they leave you.  You don't need anyone who doesn't need you.  No one is ever worth fighting for unless they would fight for you.  Crying over something doesn't make anything better.  A person in your life is either a gift, or a lesson.  It takes a while to find out which one they are. It might take a month, a year, or even 5 years.  Yea it hurts when someone leaves, but what you have to do in be strong about it and take it as a lesson.  Cherish the memories, and smile because it happened.  It hurts a lot when you see someone so important to you leave.  You wish they would come back.  It's like wishing for rain while standing in the desert.  But honestly, they don't come back.  Get over it and move on because you wouldn't want to spend a long period of time crying over someone who doesn't care about you anymore.

2 weeks left !

Hey girl heey(;  Well I hope everyone had a lovely week!  I think this was a very interesting week.  Starting with Monday.  After school me and my other friends went to starbucks.  Since happy hour was from 3-5 we took advantage of it and got vents.  I wanted tea but its only fraps that are half off.  Last year in was any drinks.  But I guess they changed it.  Tuesday, me and my friends took the bus to the starbucks by foodland.  We didn't expect anyone else to come besides who we all agreed to invite, but someone came and I didn't really want to see them.  So I just went back home, and my friends came over.  Barbie was so worried she would be home late after 4, her curfew.  While she was at my house she kept getting calls from her grandma and she was scared to answer xD  She ended getting home around 5 anyway.  But at my house my friends were just playing with my bat, and I gave them a wiffle ball so they don't break anything.  I tried riding a fixie, but once I got on, I was too scared to even start pedaling.  So I got off right away.  Oh wells.  Wednesday, I unexpectedly went out for pizza with mali a(barbie) and chez.  I didn't even plan to go get pizza, I originally planned to go to the park with graces and faith.  But I guess it all changed, since they pulled my bag.  Malia and chez bought the food, and since I had a little money I bought drinks.  Then we went to burger king and ate it there(x  Also on wednesday we had a meeting about honesty.  How we all honestly feel.  We all had to be participant, and obviously honest.  There is no use of lying at a meeting about honesty.  We discussed some complaints we had, or something we honestly felt.  But yeah thats wednesday.  Thursday I didn't really do anything.  Just school, then went home.  Friday was the AVID field trip.  Me and jez weren't sure if we were going or not.  Since we turned in our forms late.  But we both got to go, but got put in different groups.  I liked LCC, but its not the college I want to go to.  After school me faith and grace originally planned to go to the park.  But michael ended up going home, and my and faith got too scared to go to the park cus half way there we saw a big gang of high school boys yelling so we just went back to school.  Then I called for my ride.  Saturday was the track meet we got to watch.  I think campbell did good placing in 4th.  Against other private schools they did really well.  Great job!!  After it was all done we played "football" with cheanas gatorade bottle.  At first me and cheana was just playing catch.  Then everyone joined and it turned into football I guess.

The highlight of my week was having my friends come over.  I don't think anyone came over my house in a while.  In 6th grade everyone would come over a lost everyday.  So it was fun having them over again.  I miss those days when everyone was close in Holomua and we would just be hanging out everyday.  But we all split up.  So it was good to have most of them come over, Emi and MJ.  While they were over we made a BMFfamily  I don't know what the acronym stands for, but they made that up at my house.  So I guess me, emu, MJ, chez, and mali a are in the BMFfamily.  Well we have fun together, so might as well make a family out of it.  Another highlight is playing football after the track meet.  I think we all had fun doing it.  Mostly everyone who went on the field trip was playing, besides Mr.Shim and jaxon.  But I think we all had fun.  I was scared of catching the bottle, since it hurt my hand a lot.  On the bus ride home I was trying to sleep, but cheana and korey kept waking me up.  So we made up his game called ninja bear chef, and just starting playing it xD  I think the bus ride and playing football was fun during the field trip.

The lesson I learned is to speak up earlier then later. At the honesty meeting, we had to be completely honest.  We had to speak up about how we thought he treated others differently and unfairly.  We all had to say something we felt, or else it wouldn't get covered.  We would just be thinking and whining about it for the rest of the year.  So we spoke up about how we felt how he treated khrizz for example different from the rest of us.  After we explained how we felt, he explained the whole story.  Then everything made a lot more sense.  We all just came to assumption and didn't bother to ask anything about it during the year.  We just sat there whining and talking about it.  We were mad and thought it was a little unfair.  But after hearing the whole story my thoughts completely changed.  I took things out of context which I shouldn't have.  Things made more sense afterwards.  We can't just look at one part of a big picture.  Other wise we wouldn't understand it correctly.  So speak up early so you'll understand it other than taking it out of context and making a whole new different story.  Speaking up later doesn't really help you at all.
