Field Trip : Camp MacLean in 7th grade

  

Camp MacLean :

   We went here in 7th grade and it was lots of fun. We went fishing, and I caught 1 fish myself. I shared a cabin with my friend Dhanvi and some other girls in my grade. We want rock climbing and it was very high. The most funniest moment was when we were playing capture the flag in the evening because it was very dark out and Ethan was wearing this hoodie that covered his face and it was like a alien face and Mariah and I got freaked out and screamed, when we turned around. We also went to a campfire and roasted marshmallows, and we walked a lot that night. It was so much fun and it was one of the best field trips ever. I can't wait to go again this year. 

Blog - Diary Entry

September 8th, 2015 

Dear Diary, 

        We were on our way to Virtuoso Performing Arts to try out a free dance class to see what it's like and if it's a place that I want to dance at. We walked into the building, and walked down the hallway to find the part of the building with Virtuoso Performing Arts.

 It was so decorative and very creative looking. There was a silver sign that read "VPA" and there was a whole section that showed all the dance, music, and acting teachers who work at VPA.

 My mom and I got a tour of the place and saw the dance studios and music rooms. Then, I walked into the ballet class that I was trying out. It was amazing, the dance studios were so nice looking, the teachers were very professional, and everyone looked like serious dancers, just like me. 

I was at the ballet barre, and was trying my best to stay along and do all the correct positions, arm and leg movements and look confident. I was nervous at first, but once we started they told us they are separating us into two different ballet levels, I knew I had to stop being nervous and be confident. I tried my best and it worked because when the class was over, my mom said the teacher came to her and said that I was doing very good.

Next week I joined the class and decided to stay at Virtuoso Performing Arts for dance. I successfully made it to level 2 and 3 for ballet. So, this year I'm doing strictly ballet ( levels 2 and 3 ). 

















     

Quotation Blog

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place.  And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love.  Always choose love.”  

This quotation is from the book " Daniel's Story " and is said by a character named " Erika ".

This quotation reminds me of the movie " Titanic ".

The movie " Titanic " is about an UN-sinkable boat that hits an ice berg and sinks with thousands of passengers with few life boats on board. The women and children might get on a life boat, they might die from the coldness, they might die and drown on the Titanic ,and they could survive on a life boat. Once the passengers were warned that the boat will sink, they all wanted to live and they all could die or commit suicide. But, everyone on this boat knows that if they die, it was not their fault that it sunk. Also, the quotation says " And to remember...You must choose love.  Always choose love ", shows that some passengers on the boat might have to split up to be able to get on a life boat, some might decide to not even try and stay in their room on the Titanic and die together on the sinking boat, and some families might stay on board with their husband or father because men and woman were the only ones allowed to go on life boats first. They all chose love and died ( or survived ) knowing that it was not their fault.
