Attention all readers! Ever hear about this touching book called Speak? If not I'm here to tell you that it is a fantastic book that many of you can relate to.  Melinda goes through many of the problems that arise from depression and I know some of you do as well.This is exactly why I encourage you to go out and read this book! Just remember that we are all trees continuing to grow. We can't just let one cut off branch keep us from moving on. Instead, we have to continue to thrive for the sun and water that we need and heal that branch once again.

        I have many reasons as to why i chose trees as my symbol and depression as my theme. The reason why i chose a tree as my symbol was because it is referred to a lot in the book Speak. It also resembles how everyone can leave the past behind and move on. Nobody should let anything anything bring them down no matter how bad the situation gets. Everyone should always just remember to grow a new branch and thrive for the Sun and water they need to continue growing.
        For my theme, I focused on depression. Melinda goes through many problems that lead to her depression. At some points she even wonders is she wants to continue on with life even after one incident. Many people in this world suffer from depression whether it be from a past incident or any other situation, which is why this book would be great for them because they know that they aren't the only ones suffering.

summer break post

Over spring break, I did a variety of things. I hung out with friends and I went to Atlantic City. While I was at Atlantic City, my mom and my grandparents gambled in the casino while I went to the boardwalk and played at the arcade. I also played xbox and basketball with my friends. I had a lot of fun and I couldn't ask for anything more.

Time Machine Journey

If I could go on a time travel trip I would back to when I was riding my bike down a steep hill.I was only 8 years old. I didn't realize how fast I was going and I didn't have my hands on the brakes. I saw a rock and I thought my bike would go right over it, I was wrong I completely wiped out and scraped my entire leg. I would have gone back in time to warn myself about the rock and avoid it. It would have prevented a lot of pain.

2/19 Do Now

If I were a teacher I would add a mechanical engineering class. This will teach students about the mechanics in an automobile. Knowing about the inside of a car can help people in the future if their car were to break down. This can even help them start a business. The class would take place in an auto garage. It would feel as if they were the mechanic themselves. It would sound like how a garage would normally sound, such as tools, car engines, and other things. The students would produce their work by finding the problem in a broken car and fix the problem.
