Quotes That Are Important To Me

-
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, " said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one."
                -George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons


The reason I keep on reading more and more books is for the story of one's or many people's lives. In books I can find people who are not like the everyday people around me, some experience adventure and romance, and other can experience loss and the feeling of loneliness, as well as people who have big changes in their lives. With reading I can, at anytime, jump into the shoes of someone else and see what other people's lives are like.

This quote allows me to be able to make anything  I want to make. I like to think and sometimes write about fantasy worlds. As I imagine it, I can see it in my mind and it is as if it was real. If I feel like I am tired or bored of this world than I can go back into the world I create in my mind and hang out there (Not literally but mentally), and it feels very real because as this quote from Picasso says, "Everything you can imagine is real".





I like to learn as many things as I can. Whether its from reading a textbook, to going somewhere, or doing something hands on. When reading books, there are some places in the books that are also in real life. Like Chicago, New York, London and a whole lot of others. Books make these cities sound interesting and that there a lot of things to see. While reading, there are detailed descriptions of these places and they tell me what to expect of this place. Sometimes I would want to go to these places. Then there are also books that take place in a setting that does not exist on Earth like outer space or an entire new world, and most of the time those places really intrigue me. It makes me interested so much that I might actually want to go to this imaginary place, but as I was talking about the previous quote, these imaginary places are as real as real cities on Earth. So, I can go anywhere I want to imaginary or real.

Margie Oppenheimer: A Holocaust Survivor

-

  Margie Oppenheimer is a Holocaust survivor who has an interesting story about the three camps that she was sent to. First, she went to Riga Ghetto where she had to shovel snow. Though it seems like hard work, she said that it wasn't so hard, and she continued working hard so that she could survive. Not too long after she was sent to work at a rubber factory at Stutthof Concentration Camp. Some people think that everyone who watched over prisoners were bad because they were being cruel to their prisoners, but Margie’s boss at the factory wasn't like those stereotypes. He let his employees take pictures of themselves, and cook in his kitchen using his food. He had helped Margie and many others survive too. During a selection at this camp, Margie was chosen to die, but she didn't die thanks to her trusty friends Fanny and Rosaly. They pulled her under the fence and brought her to another barrack. Many things and people helped Margie survive through the Hol

Endings and Beginnings

-
           As the end of the school year nears, I have created some goals that I want to achieve before it's over. One goal that I want to achieve is getting the best grades that I can possibly get. To me, grades are very important even though sometimes it doesn't matter what grades you get, but I still like to get the highest grades possible. Ways that I can do this is by working hard during class and on my homework. Another way I can do this is by doing extra credit. Some of my classes give extra credit, and I always do them. Another goal I have is to do well on my finals. I am going to study very hard, but not too hard that I'll have a mental breakdown. My goals for the end of the school year are getting the best grades, and doing well on my finals.             Also, I have goals for summer break as well. During winter break and spring break, I sometimes feel like I didn't make the most of my time, so one goal of mine during summer breaks is to record everything I d

Perseverance: The Only Way

    The quote “Success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.”  tells us the truth of getting something done. You can’t just think of something awesome, and then lay back and dream about it. To get anything to be done, you have to get up and do the work yourself. Be determined to fulfill your dream. Don’t look at it for 5 seconds and then abandon ship because it looks too hard or may take a long time. Everything is hard in someway and if you can make it through that, then you can do something that not everyone can do. People might hide from things because they are afraid of trying to do something new or challenging. Being confident and having a lot of perseverance is what makes up role models and good people. Even now, people look up to you, most likely your little siblings, friends or students in lower grade levels, and they might want to be like you. Having a lot of perseverance leads to many good things in life, like being able to get things done and getting a good job. So,
