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.

Image
  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

I ❤ Cake

Image
This is not the cake my dad and I made. Something that I won't be able to live without is cake, chocolate cake to be more specific. What makes cake taste even better is when you make it yourself. My dad and I always make cake when it is my brother's or my birthday. Since my family doesn't eat eggs, we have to make cake without eggs, but even so, it stills taste awesome. Recently, my dad and I decided to start making cake more often because otherwise, we really only make cake two or three times a year, and that just doesn't seem right to me. So, we started making more cake. Not only do I like eating cake, but I like making it too. It fun to mix up all the ingredients , and see how a bunch of separate ingredients can turn into something so delicious. One of my favorite parts of the cake I make is the whipping cream. I hate frosting because it is so sugary, so I make whipping cream instead. I love how as you mix the whipping cream, it
