3rd post

School is hard to handle somtimes.6 classes and six different homework assignments every day. More than 2 hours a day of homework. I don't have any advanced classes but my classes are kind of hard. Pre-Calculus and French 3 are my hardest classes. The thought that this is my last year of P.E. is a relief. I like sports but I don't like P.E.. I think it is very neccesary in everyday life but I don't like it. P.E. is something that you know you have to keep doing but you hate it. They say that P.E. helps to not have a negative attitude. I like the idea of staying fit but sometimes it seems like too much work and to much time. I'm trying to get into sports this year. I heard that colleges look into this subject too. My parents want me to only focus on school but I don't think that's good enough. As long as I'm getting good grades and I can handle a sport it's all good.
I like school.I don't like how we have to learn so many subjects but over all, it's nothing you can't ahndle. I have many goals for myself connected to school. I want to go to college straight out of high school and study to be a psycologist. My parents think I would be better off having another career but this is what interests me.
School itself is kind of interesting. You meet new people, you get to hang out with friends, and you learn. I am happy that I have the chance to go to school but sometimes it's just so complicated to stay on track. School has changed so much over the years. It just keeps getting harder and harder. My parents can't even help me with what I'm learning now. My siblings have me but I am on my own. It's so much harder on me.Hopefully I find a way to be on track and stay on track.

2nd post

Memories. Some memories are good while others you don't want in your head. What is a little hard for me to understand is that most people remember more details for the bad memories than the good ones. An example for me would be that I don't remember when I road my bike by myself for the first time but I remember the time I found my mom crying with a phone up to her ear. That day she didn't even want to tell me what was going on. All I knew was that somebody in our family had died. When you deal with situations like this it sometimes makes you a stronger person. Memories like these are the most painful but they are also the ones that everyone in the world has. I don't know why I have the memories I have. I didn't get to choose them. I have a lot of good memories too but I wouldn't be able to explain them in much detail.

Why do we even have memories when we don't even get to choose what they are? I mean a lot of the times we remember are really important but I wish I could have memories of other important times in my life. Times like when I said my first word or learned to walk or lost my first tooth. Someone gave me the idea of starting a journal so when I'm older and I want to remember how my life was like at this age I can just look back in the journal and reminice. I have tried keeping a journal before but I was much younger so I didn't really commit to it. Hopefully this time it works out better.

Memories. You may hate them or you may love them but you will always have them. In my situation the answer is easy. I'm in the middle. I would love it if I could choose the memories I keep.

1st post

The topic I'm planning to write about is memories. I had trouble making my decision but i figured that it was a topic that would ben easy. Memories are things that everyone has and I don't have trouble remembering the good and bad days in my life. I love to remenice, so that's another reason why i thought this was a good topic. I wouldn't enjoy my life as much if I couldn't remember the good times and remembering the bad times just pushes me to do better.
The way I hope to improve my writing is to explain wtih detail but not too much. When I write I tend to put a lot of detail into things that aren't really important. I get distracted easily and change subjects a lot. I'll start writing and then subject changes so much that the main subject isn't main anymore. It's like I mix up all my ideas.
I only like writing when It's about topics of my own interest so this is good. When we have to do writing prompts it's really hard for me to think of ideas to support the main one. Especially when the prompt is very specific. I feel like my writing can't expand. Like there is a right and wrong answer. But there is no reason to worry about that here.
