Sorry Mom I failed a French test today. I failed because I was too busy playing a game at home to study. It was a really fun game too. I was going to stop playing but then I started winning. When I got to school I was going to start studying but then club rush was today.
Hey John, I failed the French test today. The passé compose was really hard. I didn't even understand the instructions because they were in French! I tried to look at your paper but I think you failed the test too. The smart person in our class was like four rows away from me too.
Sorry Mrs. Nelson, I didn't study for the test today. I think I failed it. Can I be excused from the test? I already know you're going to say no but it's worth a try. I will study next time. Can you also put the instructions in English? I know it's a French class but i'm not fluent in it.

Pride is a weakness to many people.  I think pride is a weakness to many people because you can make anyone feel sad if you take away their pride.

I think there are many ways a person can be beautiful.  For example, their appearance, their mind, their personality, and their style.  I dont think there is a standard of beauty that all people can agree on because everyone has a different opinion of what beautiful means.

A clock is like the Bubonic Plague because both can be fatal.  Both can be transmitted from person to person.  For example asking what time it is and giving them the germ.  Both can also create conflicts like running out of time or medical bills.

If I had a time machine, I would go back in time to the time period that Christ was on Earth so I could see what he looks like.  I would also go back in time to see my parents get married and see what my cousins looked like when they were younger.

Memories are like a river because all memories start at some point.  Some memories also lead to bigger memories like the river emptying out into an ocean.  Memories are also like a river because some memories are wild and some are calm.  Some can be short and some can be long.

I dont think graduating from highschool makes you an adult.  It depends on what you do after graduating from highschool which makes u an adult.  For example getting a good job or going to college.  I dont think moving away from home is a sign of adulthood either unless u can take care of yourself without any help.  In some religions, you become an adult when you turn a certain age.  In Judaism u become an adult when you are 13.

One fear that i overcame was my fear of the monsters under my bed.  I was always scared of what might be under my bed at night time.  Sometimes I would even have a night light to see if anything crawled out.  One night I decided to see what was under my bed so I wouldn't have a night light anymore.  The night light would always keep me awake for a while.  I finally looked under the bed and found nothing but some toys.

I woke up one morning and decided to eat some cereal.  As I walked down the steep stairs, I was thinking of what delicious cereal I was going to eat.  I was thinking about eating the teeth decaying Coco Puffs or the healthy Bran Cereal with fruit chunks.  I decided to eat the Coco Puffs.  After pouring out the milk into my big, round bowl, I got my cereal from the spacious pantry.  I carefully poured out my cereal so I wouldn’t get too much.  Then I got a big spoon and began to eat my cereal.

 

Journal #10

 

I think a Hero is someone that does something good.  Something good could be considered anything that the person does to help others.  Wether it is saving a person from a burning building or reading to the blind.  A hero doesn't have to be born into a royal family.  A hero could simply be the mail man.  A person isn't destined to be a Hero.  You can choose to be a Hero.

My New Year's Resolution is to get atleast an A or B in my honors algebra 2 class.  We just took a test that I think I did really bad on.  Getting a bad gread on that test would make my grade go down to a C.  I've never gotten a C I think on a report card so my parents would get really mad.  I would probably get grounded or get restrictions on things if I don't get atleast a B.  I decided to start studying for my algebra 2 class.
