My profile

In class we are learning about ancient Egypt but our most recent class was about learning what side of the brain that we use. I use my right side of my brain and in my opinion the right side is the creative side.

I learn better when I move around  because I can't sit still because I have A.D.H.D That means attention deficit hyperactive disorder.

I need to not distract anyone because if I do then they will not be paying attention to what is going on in class and then they will have a hard time do the homework or classwork

Some strategies that would help me would be to move to a table that isn't occupied by anyone so that I can move around and not disturb anyone.

I would like my teachers to know that I have A.D.H.D That means attention deficit hyperactive disorder. I want them to know this because if I am moving around then I might get in trouble if they don't know this.

Goals and talents

One goal is that I want to be more organized. I am tired of forgetting my stuff, not getting the grades I want because I forget things, and getting yelled at by my mom and dad when I forget things.  They take away things like Facebook and computer games when I don't have what I need.  I will try to be more organized by writing in my planer in every class. Another way I can be more organized is that I can try to get things done right away so I don't have time to forget them.


If I am more organized then I will not be bugged by my parents and I won't feel stressed because I am doing things at the last minute and forgetting things.  I will also be able to have a full planner and know where all of my things are all of the time.


Another goal I have is to get better at guitar.  My dad's friend came at Christmas and can play like he is in a rock band.  I would like to be as good as he is, so I need to practice more and not fight with my dad when he asks me to practice.  I am in after school guitar and band, so I want to also try to join another band.  


If I do this, I will be ready to be a lead player in the band next year.  I will know more about guitar and bass and then maybe practicing won't be so hard for me to do.


On my holidays, I went to India with my family.  We went to where we used to live in Delhi at the American Embassy School.  We met lots of old friends that still live there.  We also visited the orphanage that my sister and I came from.  We also went to the desert to ride camels and see forts.  It was a pretty good trip because sometimes I got bored on long car and train rides.  The dirt and smells surprised me a lot and made me uncomfortable.  It was also really cold because we were in the mountains and the desert and I didn't have enough winter clothes.

Hatchet



My group discussion helped me by answering questions that were really hard to answer for my group and I.

One main idea was that he had to survive in the woods by himself. This is important because he probably had not been stranded in the woods before alone, and this is the major conflict in the novel. Another main idea would be family problems, because he wants to tell his father that his mom was cheating on him with another man and he can't because he is stuck in the woods. This is important to the novel because it's another one of Brian's major issues.


I had to think about some of the questions in the novel a bit more, like why Brian ate the cherries without taking the pits out. during the discussion we talked a little about why he did what he did and we came up with one answer: he was too hungry to care.

I think that Brian will find his way out of the woods and find his father and tell him about the secret. I also think that he will run into some problems on the way, such as wolves and maybe he will run out of food. Also because it is summer and animals will have young disciples that the mothers will want to protect. Soon it will be autumn and this will cause problems for Brian because it will get colder.

Favorite part of the trip to kuala selangor

My favorite part of this trip was when we saw the fireflies. This was my favorite part of the trip because I liked the setting and the yellow glow of the fireflies. I also like seeing
It was pitch black. The only thing you could see was the moon and its halo around it until we saw a faint glow on something shaped like a tree. soon there was not one glow there was two then three then four and before you knew it there were a hole bunch of yellow glowing things. The yellow glow was fireflies. I knew this because before we got on a boat the guide on the deck told that you will see lots of fireflies on trees on this trip. When there was no fireflies in site I looked up at the moon and pondered why was there a halo around the moon. Me and my group told spooky stories and sometimes Rosie would curl up in a ball and say nothing. The thing that I was most curios about on some trees sometimes were no fireflies. The rest of the trip was good and I liked it allot but the thing that I would do again was seeing the fireflies.
