I think that it is time to talk about something that is very serious. So yesterday I found out that one of the adults working for the school, a woman named, "Ms, Gonzalez", said for $10 any middle school student can get an application to take part in the PSAT. Now you obviously don't have to do that but if you get a decent grade ranging from 200 to 700 you can get accepted into a decent high school, I'm not sure how good the Beloved High School is going to be next year because a lot of students are hating on it. Now obviously, it will be their first year making the high school so they might not be prepared. But I know for a fact that the building definitely looks pretty cool. Now is it the right size for a high school? I don't know, because I'm never been to a high school. Although I know one high school near Newport Mall called, "Dickinson" and it looks pretty huge compared to the drawing of the one we're building. I saw the blueprint, or picture that the school wants it to look like, but it doesn't seem as big. Who knows? Maybe they're will be a lot of floors or the gym is like underground?
Anyway, I know I don't have to take this test but a lot of other kids in my class are, well most of them. The reason I'm saying this is because I don't know if everyone is going to take it. Now, we are the "advanced" class of this school so if anyone should take it, it's us. But, that doesn't mean it's mandatory. I still wonder if the other classes in the 8th grade are eligible to take this exam. Not meaning that they aren't smart, but that they might not take it because they aren't in the advanced class. It's surprising to me that kids in the 7th grade and (maybe 6th) are taking this test because they still have to wait another 1 or 2 years before they even reach high school. The reason kids are taking this exam in the first place is to get into a good high school like "High Tech" and "Micknair" (hopefully that's how you spell it). In fact, after this post I am going to go on Google search up what these high schools are. My friend says that the better high school you go to, the more colleges will want you to go to their schools. I think this is pretty stupid because as long as you get a good GPA in your SAT you should be good.
Now then, let me talk about my highlight for the day. And that is probably Music. Now I am very bad at singing and can't play a single instrument but it was still the most fun class I'd have the whole day. The reason behind this is because of the super fun teacher who I honestly love. She has a really funny attitude and I just can't believed everyone disrespected her in the introductions at the "first day of school". Then again, there were a ton of students in one room, so you can't really expect anyone to listen at first. Still, we played a game called, "21". The way to play is that you are in groups of 4 to 5 and you need to be able to count to 21 starting from 1 without two people saying the same number at once. And you can't just do a circle, you need to mix it up from person to person that way it isn't too obvious your cheating. My team didn't do that well but in the beginning we really had a ton of fun.
