A New Year, A Not As New Me

-


1.       LAST YEAR WAS THE YEAR OF…
Last year was the year of feeling left out and sad.
2.       THIS YEAR WILL BE THE YEAR OF…
This year will be year of being included and happy.
3.       HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE YOUR LIFE FOR THE NEW YEAR…?
I can improve my life for the new year by doing what I myself finds fun or exciting or new, and not caring about what others have to say.
4.       WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT LAST YEAR…?
My favorite part of last year was going to state. I did not go because I raced with the team and won a state required time. Technically, I was an alternate, but it was just as important as if I had raced with the team during sectionals. Our team got placed lower than we had wanted but it was just as exciting and fun as if we had won 1st place.
5.       WHAT WAS YOUR MOST SUCCESSFUL STORY ABOUT LAST YEAR…?
My most successful story about last year was going to state for track. I bring up going to state a lot because it was one of my most successful and exciting parts of my life so far. I won a race against three other girls to win the spot I got on the team. I trained the hardest I could before we left to the track; I ran my hardest in the actual race.
6.       IF YOU COULD CELEBRATE THE NEW YEAR FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD YOU GO?
I would celebrate new years with my friends anywhere where we could have fun.
7.       DESCRIBE LAST YEAR IN FIVE WORDS. WHAT DO THESE DESCRIPTIONS MEAN TO YOU?
I would describe last year with mood swings coming out of nowhere. I was constantly in a good mood and then cry for no reason last year and I hope that this year I’m not as emotional and crazy this year.
8.       SET THREE GOALS FOR THIS YEAR AND OUTLINE A PLAN FOR EACH
Graduate 8th grade with a 4.0 GPA- Study and take every extra credit opportunity possible
Go to state again for track- Train as much as I can
Do well in my solo and ensemble contest- Practice, practice, practice

Introduction

-
I am a thirteen-year-old, eighth grade female. My name is Alexandria or Lexi or Alex. Most people call me Lexi though. Once, meaning recently, I got asked what kind of furniture I would want to be. Well, I mean, I would love to be a bed. See, I’ve been tested for anemia. Though we believe I have anemia, the test showed I wasn’t. Even though, I’m always cold. In the summer, I wear hoodies. In my heated house, I wear hoodies. I personally want to be a bed because, with this new information I gave you, I would love to be always warm. So, this next paragraph is about family so your probably expect a happy, sappy paragraph and it might be. To start it off, what about what are you most grateful for? I’m not going to lie; I’m most grateful for my family. They shower me with love, though I play it off as annoying. They feed me, they support me, they amuse me. One thing I wish they did more though is give me more privacy. What can money not buy? I think money can’t buy a loving family...

My Passion

“On your marks…” My heart danced while I waited in my starting position. “Get set…” I raised my back. Pop! The gun had shot; my race had started. I pushed myself forward, starting ahead. Easily, I forgot about my worries. I focused on the rhythm of my feet which were light on the ground. I pushed myself harder to keep our second-place spot at the curve. Just after the one-hundred start, I ran as fast as I could. I gained a first-place start for our second runner. “Go,” I yelled signaling our second runner to start so I could hand the baton off. We matched strides and speed. Her left hand went back. The baton, in my right hand, met her left hand and I let go. She ran as fast as she could as I slowed my pace to an eventual stop. When they called the winners, I learned that we had won that race. As a young person, being healthy and staying in shape are always important to me. During track season, and before for a while, I condition. Conditioning not only helps me keep in shape b...

My Three Favorite Pictures

One of my favorite pictures from my walk on Friday October 18th, is this one here. It shows one of the many broken windows where I live. This pictures features the glass in a sharp and jagged pattern. From the angle I took the picture, you can see buckets and broken glass on the floor. You can also see a box overflowing with books on the floor if you look hard enough. I like this picture because of the angles on the glass. This is my second favorite picture from our walk. It shows another broken window but with a beautiful pattern carved almost into the glass.  There is white chipped paint on the window frame. Behind the window, is a wood plank. I think it compliments the white and the lighting in the photo.  I like this picture because it shows a beautiful patterned window and I love little things like that. This is my third favorite picture from our walk. I have always enjoyed playing with shadows and such in photography. My great grandfather sparked the interest; ...
