Hello parents, families, teachers, staff, fellow classmates, and future graduates of Golf Middle School. Today is the day of endings and beginnings. The ending of our life at middle school. The ending of being a kid. The ending of not having to think about the future. The ending of living in a small world. But, as Senator Orrin Hatch said, “Graduation is not the end; it’s the beginning.” I believe today is the beginning of a newfound freedom for all of us. The beginning of seeing the world with a bigger viewpoint. The beginning of our moms realizing that in a few years, they won't have to do our laundry anymore. The beginning of new friends, and adventures. Of exploring new places. Of learning about what life really is. Each of us didn't get here alone. We stuck together so that we could stand here today. No matter all the hard work, the deadlines, and drama. We persevered and got through it all. I want to thank all my teachers who helped my classmates and I reach this poin...
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 durin...
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is one of my favorite books that I have ever read. I also enjoyed the movie very much, but just like with other movies based on novels, I wasn't fully satisfied with it. The movie has a run time of 1 hour and 31 minutes, which I think is okay. A common thing I see between books, and movies based on books is that there is always something missing. That is what makes the movies, based on books, I watch just being a shy bit away from making me fully happy. The first thing I feel is missing is at the beginning. In the book, Ponyboy introduces the gang: Sodapop, Darry, Dally, Steve, Two-bit, and Johnny. However, in the movie, they were not introduced at all, so we didn't really know much about any of them. People who have read the book might understood the characters without them having to be introduced, but not everyone would have read the book, or remembered while watching the movie. For me, it wasn't much of an issue, having I just r...
Nice Job :)
