Home!

As you get older what you think of as a home may change for many reasons. People start working, going to school and college, or maybe even go through a sudden struggle where your'e left without a home. To me a home is somewhere you spend most of your time with friends and family. Normally I am at work or school, work is like a second home to me because I spend a lot of my time there and same with school. Once you get comfortable within a place you may call it your home, because you got used to it. Some people say a home is way more than a house or an apartment. To me a home is what you make it. My grandmother has been living in the same house for years, to her that is her home. Others often move from house to house for all different reasons so they may not feel their house is a home right away until they settle down with their families. There are even some people who are not comfortable in their homes although they have been living there for a while. Traveling is a big thing also because sometimes people want to pick a certain place to live where they would like to make a house their home! Making your house your home can happen at all different ages.

Journey of school!

It all started back in Marvine Elementary when I started my very first day of school. I remember being so little but yet so nervous to meet all new friends and the teachers. But I knew I had to start somewhere. Ever since that day the years and days flew past. It feels like just yesterday I was starting school, now in just a few months I will be graduating! Its such a bittersweet feeling. Besides, each school that I have went to has showed me a good time and I have learned many things.I went the Marvine for elementary school, Northeast for middle school,  and now I am attending Liberty high school, like I mentioned before I will be graduating from here in a few months. Throughout all these years in school, I have learned the basic reading, writing and math skills, how to respect others and pay attention, and also the most important thing I could have learned in high school so far was, "worry about yourself". Its cool to have friends and hang out once and I while but focusing on yourself is the  best thing you can do. Doing this I have good grades, I have a job and I am even starting college early by taking a college class once a week. Nothing is better than feeling proud of yourself. Though out school I was never really too strong in math but I still somehow managed to do the best I could to get through my struggle. They say if you want to succeed, all you have to do is work for it. I have realized that most of the things I did in elementary school were some of the best things. I remember field day, and recess and climbing the jungle gym in gym class. Those activities help you bond with one another and learn social skills. Once I made it to middle school I was afraid of it being too hard for me and also of failing. I actually did pretty good there and I learned lots of new thing. My favorite thing in middle school was taking a language class. I found it so cool that I had the opportunity to learn 3 different languages; Spanish, German, and French. Then once I made it to high school time flew past. It seems like last week I was getting ready to start 9th grade and now here I am a senior. I liked that in high school I had the opportunity to start at Bethlehem Votech, where I was able to find my career and actually have a class on it where you do hands on work. School in general has taught me so much.
