“Your time is limited…don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” ~~ Steve Jobs

I admire this quote. I admire this quote because while it would be nice to live in someone else’s “perfect” life, it is a waste of time. You should just focus on yourself and live in your own life. Pretending to be someone else is a lie. Everyone has their own problems, and everyone envies someone else. That doesn’t matter. It is important to be yourself, no matter what anyone else is doing. You are the most important. Not your best buddy not your brother or sister, you.

Write about a place that you visited over the summer.

One of the exciting places that I visited over the summer was Hawaii. When we got off of the plane, it was nearly midnight, so when we finally got to our hotel, we were very tired. The next morning we got up and explored the hotel. They had a cove connected to the ocean so we could snorkel whenever we wanted to. They had a massive pool and plenty of space to play and have fun. After we got the idea of where everything was, we went snorkeling and played in the sand.

The next day, like almost all the others, was fairly simple; we got up, went for a swim in the pool, dad took my sister and I snorkeling in the ocean, and then we relaxed. For the next few days, we repeated this process, and we saw a variety of sea life, including coral, tropical fish, sea turtles a sea snake, and a sting ray. On our second last day, we drove into town and I got a few ukulele picks and a case for them as souvenirs. For our final day in Hawaii, we tried to pack in as much adventure as we could, and then we got on a plane and enjoyed the ride home.

“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” ~~ George B. Shaw

This quote is superb! I love this quote because you can never find your personality just by searching for it, you have to make it. Just because you don’t know what you are like doesn’t mean you are indifferent. If you pay attention to yourself and how you interact with the world, you might find that you are funny, or generous.

But, I think it really depends on the path you choose to take. That’s why you are intelligent, because you choose to study. That’s why you are generous, because you choose to give. As George B. Shaw said, “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”                                          Martin Luther King, Jr.

I love this quote. I love this quote because faith is very important to me. To have faith is to have complete trust in something. To have faith in a legend is to believe it is real. To have faith in a person is to trust them completely. If you have faith in a friend or someone you know you have a very strong bond. Faith is important.

My first week of school went great! I was a little nervous about it before school started, but everything fell into place. Mr. Faris has helped me learn our new schedule and know what to do in this new year. I am excited to advance in my classes and get smarter as I grow older. That one week was all I needed to get used to the classroom. One of the few negatives about that week that I remember is whenever we did a writing assignment, my hands got too sore.

Some of my goals for this year is to get perfect scores on MAPS and PEAKS testing.

A person I respect is my dad. I respect him because he has lots of experience in many things, including sports, business and strategy. When he was in school, he was at the top of his class. When he got his own house, he went on a world trip and saw many different things. He became a doctor and helped many people. He helped me learn how to play hockey and get better at what is now my favorite sport. He dominated in any sport he played. Whenever I get an injury or endure a big crash, my dad is there to comfort me and help me keep going. No-one can beat my dad!
