For today’s post I’m going to talk about some of the things that have happened this week. Thats because I haven’t typed in about 5 days. Thats why we should get started. Now of the things that happened this week was that me and my friends got a prize. In ELA (English Language Arts) class our teacher gave each student about 5 pieces of paper. Each paper had tow sides to it so it was actually 10 pages in total for us to complete. Then each student had to pick a partner. I picked my friend Khalifa because well, he was the only one I thought was able to work at my pace and be helpful at the same time.
Our teacher said whichever pair is able to complete the most pages gets to have hot chocolate and donuts with him next Wednesday. The really sad part was that our other friend, John, had a partner, but the kid left him and now John had no one to work with. Our teacher wouldn’t let us be a trio. Probably because it would cost too much. In total four people own the prize which equals two pairs. Khalifa and I, as well as my other two friends, Destiny and Le’andre. I was so happy that we won that for the whole day winning the hot cocoa and donuts was the only thing that I talked about.
Another thing that is going to happen this whole week is the “End of Terms” (EOT). This test is apparently very important for our grade because if some got a zero on this their score would most likely end up a 60% or maybe even a 45%. However I don’t plan on getting a zero. The least I could get is probably a 75 which by the way is the farthest I’ll go. Even though usually I’ll get 90s or 85s. So far I’ve already taken 3 tests. One today and 2 yesterday. Since today’s Tuesday I’ve completed 3 out of the 6 EOTs in total. Science, Writing, Vocabulary. Today I took Vocabulary, but yesterday I had Science and Writing. Fortunately for me tomorrow is Math and I’m pretty sure I’ll get around the 90s.
One last really important event for me was that I was able to spend time with my family. As usual since it was a half a day last week my dad took my sister and I to Lincoln park where we could hang out and have a fun time. I also talked to my Gym teacher and he said that if I wanted to compete in sports I would have to give my paper to him sooner or later. I mean seriously. I really want to be a part of Soccer, but in order to do that I would need to pass the try outs and thats something I look forward to doing. Thats why whenever me and my dad go to Lincoln park I always grab my soccer ball and get ready to play.
I know that I said it was going to be the last thing, however since I only have four paragraphs I want to finish with five. Thats why I’ll talk the tests or EOTS. While doing study hall today I saw one of my teachers grading the tests for her class and while doing that she also helps kids succeed to become a more intelligent person. Wether they choose to or not. That just shows how some teachers at my school take their work seriously and strive to be the best they can be. Its not just the students. I know that she is a new teacher and practically just got out of college. At the age of twenty two. Now thats impressive. I’d probably start teaching maybe two years before I ended College. Anyway thats all for today.
