Softball Girl 

what I saw was a girl that was 5'2 that played softball since high school and college. she has never hit a homerun in her entire life. one day when she and her team had a game she was up to bat, next the second pitch came up and right when she knew she hit a home run she ran to first base and when she touched the first base, she had stepped wrong and messed up her knee which caused a problem. her teammates and her coach asked if they can help her and carry her to the home base. the coach said yes because she deserved, so the two teammates helped her and motivated to go to base, it was such an emotional thing to watch the audience was crying. that shows doing the right thing comes with integrity, respect, and loyalty. 

Racheal Castillo

I think she did the right thing because keeping the money will be stealing and that’s choosing the wrong, but she did the right thing which she returned it to the owner that was an, 76 year old man he was in declined health but it was his money. She’s Christian and she believes in the bible and that she reads it and it says to do what’s right and to lead a good path then good things will come to you in the future. Racheal said that by her returning the money made her feel really good and she said it gave her power of her giving the money back to the old man. It was an amazing story and it really shows that you need to choose the right. 

Veterans Days

World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”

Reflection: I think that these men where brave in every way they served our country and fought for this country to protect us. These guys are honorable to our country and that’s why I think we celebrate these men to honor them.

Reflection: I think it means that choosing the right thing is good and to say no to drugs and alcohol. If 100 people are telling you to smoke weed you should say No have the courage to say it. I think that’s what the quote means to say.

My first Week of School

My first week here was not that bad. And now being a 10^th grader is way different than being a 9^th grader. The classes are alright the teachers where alright also. I fell like this year being a 10^th grader is going to be a lot harder and difficult for me to. Some other kids are like easy to them. I’m going to try my best and not mess up like in 9^th grade. My teachers expect me to do great and to work hard, although I am going to try my hardest this year and try to pass the 10^th grade. Some of my teachers are cool some are not because some teachers are really strict and some are not, but I guess that’s how I see them but hopefully it works out for me and not get into trouble. Having math, English, biology, geometry, history and more is way harder that’s why I’m going to learn harder and smarter this year.
