Lessons Learned
What have I learned this year? Have I learned anything new? About myself, about my friends, in class. What did I do right or wrong? Where there any bad decisions maken? In this 08/09 school year there has been a lot of lessons learned.
This year I learned a lot of new things about myself. I learned I have problems getting out of my bubble, it's like I live in my own little world that has to be perfect. Thats another thing I learned aobut myself, I am not perfect, your not perfect, we are not perdect, nobody is perfect. I learned that I can achieve anything I want, this was proven when I made the A/B honoroll. The last thing I learned about myself is that I have trust problems, I cant trust people because its difficult for me to except someone is always going to be there for me.
I have learned a lot of things from friends. One special thing I learned is that no one is your best friend but yourself. I also learned not to speak about my private things with others because they spread it around the world. I've learned which friends are good and which not. The last thing I learned from friends is that not all are with you because they want a friendship with you.
There has been a lot of work in all of my classes. I have learned new math equations, geography, how to write better, body organs and cells. Onw particular project that we did for the year essential question "What is the relationship between freedom and responsibility". My team (Patriots) made a project called "Smalltown" and we had to pretend we were adults with responsibilities, and had to pay the bills. It was really interesting and fun, and I learned that when you are older, you get more responsibilities.
I've never though about what I learned each grade. Now I realize I have learned a lot seens the beginning of the year. I've learned from myself,friends, and class. Right now I am learning new lessons from inside me and from others around me.

Teacher inspiration Article
Mrs. Major is a Language Arts teacher, she is such a wonderful teacher, and she makes us re-think of some bad decisions that some students make. She makes class fun, and sometimes boring but she teaches us with a lot of interest. Mrs. Major inspires her students to do a better job, study hard, and pay attention in class. Like just recently she gave one of her classes had silent lunch for misbehaving with a substituted. (Not going to mention which for no embarrassments.) This was the consequence and I hope all of us students learned the lesson she was trying to teach us.
Mrs. Lieberman is the dance teacher, one of the best teachers on Earth. She inspires her students to be a better person, and to be able to learn about life for the rest of their lives. She teaches us with love and care, and makes class interesting and fun. Some teachers and students think she just teaches us to move, but that is not true. She teaches us to dance about life. She teaches us about famous dancers, about the body, she also teaches us how to find the art in life, and even about the origin of dance and what it has become now. Mrs. Lieberman comprehends her students and talks to us to make us understand and learn new things in life. I know that most of her students are going to remember what she has though us for the rest of their life.
Mrs. Sigmon is the counselor for the 7th grade this year. She helps students with missing assignments. Mrs. Sigmon helps students with problems, and gives advice. She interacts with students to know what they are doing and how they are feeling at our school. Helps people with problems at school or at home. She inspires us her students to do a better job, and become a better person.
Mrs. Taylor is a very interesting person. She helps students with EOG by studying with them afterschool. She helps students on work that they need help with. She is an elective teacher. Mrs. Taylor has been at East Millbrook for many years. She is very well respected all over school. She loves children and loves to help out in school in anyway that she can! Mrs. Taylor is a very honest person. She gives her students great advice on how to improve in school and not to give up.
Mrs. Bayman is a social studies teacher for the 7th grade patriots. She is a coach for the girl’s track of EMMMS. She works very hard with students to improve and raise their grades. Mrs. Bayman loves to run marathons at different places. She is also a very interesting person. But sometimes students just don’t understand Mrs. Bayman. For example, she points out things to students they take it as a negative thing that she says. When she tells the student what they did wrong so they can fix it. She inspires her students to try better, and try to succeed!
Mrs. Pinkney and Mrs. Onuelu they are the ESL teachers of EMMMS. ESL stands for English as a second language. Mrs. Onuelu when we tell her that “we can’t do it.” She responds to us “yes you can!” They both help students with homework; class work; and projects. They both help their students get ready for the EOG’s. They always talk with positive words to make their students believe in their selves. They both inspire us to try harder in life it doesn’t matter what culture we come from.

Summer
What is summer vacation about? Relaxing, having fun, enjoying, learning, loving! My best summer memory was when my family came visit me. My summer plans for this summer is going to Florida. If I had any amount of money my ideal summer plan would be traveling to different parts of the world.
My best summer memory was when my family came visit me to North Carolina. My Aunt, Grandma, and my cousin were the ones that came to visit all the way from Dominican Republic. Of course we had to go shopping! We also went to the beach. Me and my cousin played sports, watch movies, ate junk food and spend a lot of time together. We just enjoyed our selves! When it was time for them to go I was really sad, but also happy because I got to spend time with them like old times
My summer plans for this summer is to go to Florida. I am going with my family, so its going to be really cool because my cousin and I are inseparable! We are staying at a resort so its going to be fun, and relaxing. All I want to do is relax and spend time with my family. I want to enjoy the hot weather, go to the beach. I also want and need to go shopping, like always lol! I hope that I have a great time, and a wonderful summer! 
If I had any amount of money, my ideal summer plan would be traveling to different parts of the world. I would like to go to Spain, China, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and The great Island of Ecuador. I want to take pictures to have a great memory! I want to learn about their cultures, at least the numbers in their language, and the foods they eat. I also want to bring back souvenir, and have a great time.
Summer is one of the best time in the year. Especially because we get out of school, winter is gone, and time to be free. You laugh, smile, learn, enjoy. It's a time were you just let go off of everything and live. You forget about EVERYTHING, like SCHOOL! I enjoy every summer that I've had. All you have to do to enjoy summer is make a regular summer a great memory!

New York by Elliott Erwitt
This photo essay shows more than what we think New York really is. It shows happiness, sadness, sillyness but also the real life which we sometimes we dont know about. This essay also shows the differences that everyone of us has. It shows a great city with great people in it. I thank Elliott Erwitt for showing me another side of New York that I didn't know of.
Train of thought by Larry Towell
The pictures in this photo essay are so powerful,and tell the truth. This pictures speak more than words. This photo essay is wonderful, and the pictures are amazing. It has teach me a whole lot because I didn't even know about these things. No one ever knew that from this piece of art if that's how I can call it the truth comes out. This photo essay just teach me a lot of things because I didn't even know this things are happening. I admire Larry Towell for his wonderful work of art because it opens people's eyes to things that are happening and we don't even know about.

3 things I would change about me...
Have you ever dream of being different than you are now? If i could change something about myself it would be my insecurity. I would make myself less of a control freak. Something else that I would change about myself would be my patience.
If I could I would change my insecurity. At times I feel I am not good enough. It's a weird feeling but I can't control that emotion. I think I am not good at sports, or fashion, or anything I do. Even though my insecurity makes me feel different, I learn from it.
I have this habit that I have to control everything that is around me. I like to control people, animals, or if I do something wrong I have to go back and re-do it. Sometimes I feel that I am in a cage and can't get out. If I could make myself less of a control freak I would. Sometimes I just want to let go and live to the fullest but I cant. I have realize that my habit of control is stronger than a thunderstorm. Me, myself, and I have NO patience. The thing is that I don't have patience for others, but I want others to have patience for me, ain't that weird? I have no patience because it makes me mad. Bu patience I mean that I don't like to repeat myself.
Three things that I would change about myself are listed above. What I want to change about myself is odd like I am right now. But those are the only things, because expect that I love myself . I know that all I got to do to change this is get it off my head. I bet that no one ever though I would have all this changes in my life. (photos provided by google)

If I were a parent...
Kids are cute when you don't have them, but when you have them, you wish you never had them! Parent's are strict right? They dont understand, it seems like if they were never kids. Yelling and hitting it's just so unfair. They tell you to clean your room, to do this, to do that, never realize that all kids need is fun! 
If I were a parent I would change the rules. Why be strict? All you need is a little fun talk. Parents grond their children just for some little stuff. I would also change the rule of taken things away. I mean if your going to take it away why waste your money getting it? 
Parents dont understand anything. The life now compared to the life they had when they were young is different. But they want things to be like their age. Us kids want to have fun, but they dont understand that. If I was a parent I would talk to my child about anything. I would play games with them, and enjoy life too.
If I were a parent I would change the yelling and hitting. Kids understand better when people talk to them. It's better to keep it non-violent because you could prevent a big problem. Hitting and yelling could cause a problem between parents and children. It doesn't matter the situation hitting and yelling is not optional. 
Being a parent is not easy, but having control is even harder. Children can be cute, but they can drive you crazy. You make the decision to have them or not have them. Listed above are some of parenting rules that I would change if I was a parent. If you cant deal with kids don't have them!(pictures provided by google)

My favorite memory
Have you ever had a favorite memory? Well I think that memories are very important. My favorite memory is that every weekend my sister and me would go to my grandma's house in Dominican Republic. My cousin went to her house too so we had sleepovers since we live far from each other. We would also go to Casa de España, which was a club in Dominican Republic.My grandma has a really big bed, were like five people could sleep. So my grandfather went to sleep on another room and left us girls in his room. We first talked, and then played board games. In the Dominican Republic the electricity goes out at times. So my grandma told us stories and we would get scare and go to sleep.
In Dominican Republic there is this club that is called Casa de Espana. It is really fun, we could stay there for hours and not realize it. There is pools, playgrounds, food, and a place to play sports. We played, talk, eat, and just relax. We had so much fun together.
After we got to her house we ordered pizza. We just ate like crazy and had fun. My grandma also made us pancakes it was good, and we love it. After we had finish my cousin, my sister, and I helped my grandma with the dishes.
I have a lot of good memories but I think this one is the best. Just the fact of having fun and acting goofy, and enjoying life. I wish my grandma and my cousin live here so we could could still do our sleepovers. Memories are a great part of you because you keep them with you for the rest of your life.

I know that when I grow up I am going to have a lot of responsibilities...
When I grow up I want to go to college and I still dont know what I am going to study but I kind of have some ideas like: doctor ( but not sure because of the blood) , designer ( but I dont really know how to draw) , vet ( I love animals) , dance ( I love to dance; its my life) , but I still haven't choose one.
In the future I want to depend of myself not my parents like now, insted I want to help them!
I know it's going to be a long time until all this happens but you always have to have a plan!!
