"We can shoot rockets into space, but we can't cure anger or discontent." John Steinbeck

My opinion is that people should focus more on mental health. Space travel is not even needed. If someone has mental health issues then they could do something bad that they later regret, or something someone else would wish they had never done. If people with mental health issues do not get cured they could pass away because in their mind they are doing something else. Also, there are special people to help with mental health problems. There is no one special to help you in space travel. In my opinion taking care of yourself is more important then something you might not even get to do. Also, there is no point in space travel if there is not enough people to do it. 

What I Will Do

The first thing I am going to do when the stay-home order is lifted is leave my house and go see people other then the ones I live with. Most of the day I am with my brother until my parents get home until around 5:00 PM. Once the order is lifted my family and I are going to go out of town and go buy things we want. I will also, probably go see my friends that live in Chadwick and spend the day with them. I also might spend the night at a friends house since I haven't seen them in over a month. This is what I am going to do as soon as the stay-home order is lifted.

What I've Been Doing

During our current situation, I have been reading, going on walks with my mom and brother around our property, and doing a lot of cleaning around my house. While I was cleaning, I cleaned my room and my closet. When I look around my room I see all the pictures of my friends I have hanging up and it makes me happy. Lately, I have been missing my friends a lot since I don't get to see them. Because I have been missing them, I have been sad a lot, so looking around my room and seeing all the pictures I have of us together makes me feel better. One thing I miss is not being able to talk to my friends as much. When we are at school, I get to see them and talk to them. Now, I don't get to see them or talk to them as much.

A New Year

If you could celebrate the new year from anywhere in the world, where would you go?

If I could go anywhere to celebrate the new year, I would go to Paris.

This year will be the year of?

 This year will be the year I hopefully, learning to speak French

How can you improve your life for the new year?

I can improve my life this year by becoming I kinder and more generous person.

Three goals that I have set for this year are:

Go to state for track- I plan on achieving this by practicing and working hard to run faster.

Get better grades- I plan to achieve this by working harder in school and helping more students that need it.

Learn to speak French- I plan to achieve this by slowly learning words and small phrases in French until I get the whole language.

Last year was the year of?

Last year was the year of me trying new things and opportunities.

What was your favorite part about last year?

My favorite part about last year was taking more opportunities. The reason why is because I had a lot of fun doing them all and I can’t wait to do them again. Last year was a really fun year and one of the things that made it so fun was that I was able to take more opportunities and try new things.

What was your most successful story from last year?

My most successful story from last year would have to be when I ran for state in track. The only thing is though I wasn’t part of the team that originally got their place to go to state, two of the girls that did though couldn’t make it. Because of this, I had to race for my spot to get on the new team and run in state. I was able to make the cut for who the coaches took. Me and my friend were able to take the two spots that needed filled. When I ran at state it was really fun. I was able to be with my friends and make new memories with them. I can’t wait to hopefully do it all again this year.

Describe last year in five words. What do these descriptions mean to you?

Adventurous- This means that I was doing more things then I normally do and that I was doing something different this year.

Risk- taking- This means that I was trying new things and doing something that may have scared me or made me nervous.

Happy- This means that my year was full of things that made me happy and that I was able to make new happy memories.

Enjoy full- This means that I did a lot of fun things that I enjoyed doing and that I was happy.

Boring- This means that there were a few spots that were not the most fun or the most exciting. That’s okay though because I had a lot of fun last year.  

Friends (not tv show)

                      Tall, short, fat, skinny, people come in different sizes. Some people become more important and special to you than others. When you see these people, you get a special feeling that makes you happy. Sometimes I have the tendency to block out everything else around me when I see them. These people are very important to me and have a very special place in my heart. I become very happy when I see one of

my friends in the hallway or in my class. This feeling is something that keeps me smiling throughout the day. This is what just one of my friends can do for me.

                        I can be really sad or feeling terrible and sick to my stomach, but as soon as I see her, I am able to ignore all of that and smile. Every little thing she does for me makes a smile breaks out on my face. For example, she gave me a necklace about a month back. I was so excited when I first got it and I put it on right away. What really made me happy when she did this, is that she didn’t have to, and she still chose to give it to me. That really meant a lot to me because for one reason I wasn’t expecting it, and two she hardly ever took hers off either. Now I wear it every day and hardly ever take it off. Making sure I am always happy is something she is good at. If I seem even remotely sad, she will try to figure out what is wrong, and try to figure out how to make me feel better. She will do whatever it takes to make me feel better. When she does this for me it makes me extremely joyful to know that she cares about me so much.

                      Caring about me is another thing that my friend is great at doing. She makes everything better when she tries to step in a make me feel better. She doesn’t always make it work, but what makes it so special is that she tries to make it better. Lately, I have not been in the best mood, because I have been going to the doctor and going through physical therapy. I have also been sitting out of pe, for I don’t even know how long anymore. I finally got back in pe two days ago, but I still have a lot of back pain. Also, I just went to go to the doctor Tuesday and found out that my back can hurt until Junior, Senior year of high school! That is really hard to comprehend when you are only thirteen. You also have to think about the fact about how long you will be in pain. I just want to be better and not have to deal with any of this, unfortunately that won’t happen though. Having my friend has been making it so much easier to have to deal with this, because I know that she will always be there if I need her. She will be there for me whenever I need her. She will drop what she is doing to help me. I am not the biggest fan of taking medicine, even when I need to take it but, she makes me take it so that I feel better. This does not make me mad at her because it shows how much she cares and wants me to be happy.

                   This shows what just one friend can do for me and how happy they make me. If this is just one friend imagine what multiple friends can do for me. Having friends like the one above makes it really easy to smile and have a great day.
