Also, since we can't use elevators, there are no choices but to go up all those stairs with a half dead face. Last week, I was marked tardy because of those stupid stairs because I had to go all the way up to get my violin in my locker and go back down to Orchestra.

Free write : In the quotation, what does Frederick Douglass mean? (i wrote the question...) quote : "God helps those that help themselves" In Frederick Douglass’s speech “Man-Made Men”, “God helps those that help themselves” he indicates the reader the importance of faithfulness. According to this quote, God will never going to come and aid of those who refuse to make an effort. One should not just relying on other people for help; one should exert oneself if he/she wants to succeed. For instance, if one wants to grow crop and do nothing but sleeping, then there will be devastating consequences. Since one turned down to try, there will be no crops growing. Overall, if one believes that making a hard effort in order to achieve goals and success, one will be successful.

Q. Close your eyes briefly. Think of one object that's in the room and focus on it without opening your eyes, recall as much detail as you can about it. After three minutes or so, open your eyes and write about that object without looking at it. (This exercise was done in class and timed.) The object that I observed without opening my eyes was a blue, train shaped pencil sharpener. It was in the back of the room alone with nothing beside it. It had two huge wheels attached facing each other and it was totally motionless. Some parts were colored in light blue but majority of the sharpener was colored with blue. Lastly, it had a small hole penetrated on the middle of the front part of the train, where pencils can go through. -blue, wheel, train looking, motionless,)

__water on a stone__

in one cold, freezing morning a drop of water landed on a gray, immense, rock. staying motionless slowly soaking into the rock

(cold, freezing, gray,immense, motionless) >>In the quotation above, what do you think Socrates means? "Man’s life is like a drop of dew on a leaf.” I think Socrates means tat a person's life is like fresh but tiny drops of water. Since dew represents the tiny drops of water and even though the drops are small, people should be always thankful to everything and try their best. I think Socrates wanted to say that since our life is short, one should remind the importance of life and do one's best in order to achieve something. > teachers answer : I think that Socrates is referring to men collectively. If we think about the history of all of mankind, the entire human race, then a man or a woman's life is in fact "like a single drop of water." Small indeed compared to the whole of the rest of the world.

My view slowly becomes blurry and begin to fall asleep. Then I start to look for my favorite companion, which I can easily cuddle, throw, and sleep with. It has small, pinky dots all over and its size is about one third of my piano. The wonderful aroma of warm downy fur on my pillow reminded me of a baby powder. When I’m near it, I can hear it calling me desperately for me to play with it as if a lost puppy waiting for its owner to come. I got it for my birthday present and had it for about two years. Not sure why, but because my best friend gave it to me, it became my favorite partner to work with. For example, at night I always inform what had happened to me today; usually miserable events. I sometimes use it as my tear polisher, which later makes my feeling back to normal. One time when I came home late, crying, only thing I can lean against was my pillow.

__**Free write** --> after reading a book called, Things Fall Apart__ Difference between Ibo culture vs. Our culture
 * ☂Journal Entry #24**

=
In Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, there are numerous things to compare and contrast between their culture and our culture. The novel is set in the mid to late 1800s in Nigeria. During mid to late 1800s, the Christian missionaries came into Nigeria to convert the native tribes. The novel takes place in the Ibo, the village of Umofia. Ibo village people are profoundly religious. Therefore, they are polytheistic people and have a very unique daily life. Unlike these people, in our culture, government and court system decides majority of the caes, and we are monotheistic. Among numerous differences of Ibo village and my culture, major differences are based on laws. In this novel, Oracle makes a decision and even determines someone’s death, yet in our daily lives, government and court systems are the major set up in order to work out cases. For example, when Okonkwo accidentally kills a clansman’s son, he was exiled from his town for seven years. However, in my culture, if there is any court cases like this, then he/she will be jailed or pay a fine. Another distinct characteristics in Ibo culture is that they polytheistic people. They worship many gods such as, Chukwu; the supreme god, earth god, etc. In real Ibo village they are three levels of divine being: the highest supreme god and two other lesser gods called, Umagbara and Ndi Ichie; the spirit of dead people. Nonetheless, we believe in monotheism, which is a belief that there is only one God. Moreover, Ibo culture people also believe in reincarnation, which means the rebirth of a soul in a new body. They are capable of seeing death as a temporary phase between their real life and spirit world. To be more specific, when someone dies, he/she will start a new way of life in the spirit world. In this world, this person will be reborn as a new person and this cycle will continue.======

Q. Reflect on the process of writing a short story. What did you enjoy about it? What was difficult? How would you approach it differently if you did it again?
**
 * At first when I was writing my short story, I couldn't think of what to write about. I felt like my brain wasn't functioning and I thought of the character sheet. Even though I wrote down two main characters and their personalities, I had no idea how to start my story. Maybe because I don't really have experiences writing my own story. In my opinion, the most difficult part while writing a short story of your own is the beginning and how to catch the reader's attention. When I started off my story with the character explanation, it looked informal. I thought that other student's stories will start off in mystery circumstances. However, I decided to start off by giving details for setting, which was not a perfect way to start my story. Since this is my first time writing a story in creative writing class, I determined to be simple and make the reader easy to understand. The most enjoyable part while writing my story was when it came to the climax. I didn't know that I was actually

As the leader of the boys, he also stated that the conch shell will be used to determine which boy has the right to speak. During that time, Piggy was worried that there is no one, who knew that they have crashed on the island. The entire boys became silent and frightened.==== While they were thinking about the possiblity of getting rescued. Ralph thought of a plan to build a huge fire on top of the island;s central mountain, so that any passing ships or planes might recognize it and know that there are people stuck in the island for help. When they were working on the fire, boys were getting lazy. Piggy became angry and declared that the boys had to act more proficiently if they want to get off the island, but his words carried a little weight. Jack volunteered his group of hunters to be responsible for keeping the signal fire going.

I couldn't believe it! I studied like a crazy woman the night before, and the gigantic D on first page of my test paper was what I get after doing all those hard work??! It wasn't FAIR.> My friends.. they get As whenever they study at least 30 minutes. Getting a D on a test was pretty embarrassing, so I stared to hide from my mom. In my opinion, in order for me to get out of this problem is to get as many "A"s I can.

The day had arrived. The moment to show off what we’ve been doing for many weeks, days, and hours had finally arrived. On Saturday, May 1st, SIS hosted a Math Competition. Our two math teachers showed their generosity by coming with us. When we got there, the hallway was jammed with students from different schools. We planned to work on numerous puzzles games, take individual tests, and competition between different international schools. I first solved variety of question individually. There were some Algebra II related problems. Even though it was a tough experience, I have gained and learned a lot of knowledge. Following the first part of the competition, we were put into teams and was told to solve several puzzle games. Rubix cubes, Rubix snake, pentamino, and Phit were some of the many puzzles. This was my favorite part of the competition. My ability and knowledge about team work has risen. I thank all my group members for their effort and hard work. Finally, each school was given 30 questions and we had to solve it in given amount of time. All the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders worked on problems together. By doing this, I think we cooperated very well. Even though this competition was my first trial, I had a lot of fun and became familiar with this kind of competition.=====

list 10~15 things worth saving and then choose one to write about. 1. money 2. pencil cases 3. family 4. favorite singer posters 5. mac book 6. ipod 7. music files 8. converse shoes 9. pencils 10. yearbooks Among these, yearbooks are worth saving because when I go up to ninth grade I would like to know the events that occurred in my previous years in KIS. And especially if I have all three yearbooks when I was in middle school, it will be a good source to find out what had happened in my yearly years in middle school. Therefore, I consider yearbooks as worth saving and a convenient source.

there are only three words in the english dictionary that start with DW: Dwell, dwindle, dwarf Write a paragraph that uses all these words. There lived three dwarfs still dwell in a cave. From a long time ago, their numbers slowly diminished and now, there are only three left. I only know the fact that they live there, so I don't really know much about how they find food, what they look like, what kind of food they eat. However according to my grandpa, he told me stories related to his experience with one of the dwarfs while there were four instead of three.

I'm soooo worried about Finals. I wish we had another month to prepare for it. A week before finals. One of the teachers told me that we better start studying or unless we will seriously regret it. After hearing this eerie comment about finals, my whole body was motionless. You know, it is really hard to actually start studying when my mind is insecure. Ah~!!! I think i should start studying for finals no matter what.

- Even though I didn't find this project hard but since I had to hand in my project the day right after coming back from Maldives, it was a hard task for me. Although I had a busy time reminding myself to put my project into ms.mccord's drop box, I had a fun time taking the pictures or collecting the pictures i took. This project helped me to remember all the major events I went through in 8th grade. Especially there were some events that I totally forgot about, but by doing this project, I was able to remind beautiful memories I had in 8th grade.

 * IDEAS FOR WRITING**

Journal Entry#49 Write about a task, job or chore you dislike. A task, job or chore I dislike is ... working on projects and doing my homework. I really dislike doing my homework everyday. I wish there's homework every other day. Sometimes teachers assign us really easy homework, but most of the times, its hard when it goes to projects. For example, if we have a group project, we need to check the schedule and meet. It's just...complicated and hard for me. I think homework is something that no one prefers to do..(except the nerds..^^)

Journal Entry #50 Write about some you would love to see put in jail I really want to see my brother put in jail. Not that I don't like him, but I just want to see how he reacts to the circumstance and him wearing prisoner clothes. It would be hilarious and I maybe I can laugh until i get tired of it. Another person I would like to put in jail is this teacher from 7th grade because she gave me so much homework that every time I had her class I had to sleep at midnight.

Journal Entry #51 I thought the final project was pretty easy. I just had to choose a theme for my poems, which I practiced in English class and write three poems related to the theme. The theme was wildlife in nature and I am glad that I chose this topic because I really wanted to practice writing poems and this was a great chance for me to practice. I was able to have a study hall at the end of the class because ms. mccord gave us a lot of class times to work on this final project.
