Gratitude Blog

     What am I grateful for? Well there are a lot of things that I am grateful, like my sister. I know it is probably something you don't hear as often. My sister is someone I am grateful for, and for a lot of things. She is my sisters but, also my best friend. She's seen me at my worst moments, and she's seen seen and sometimes has been in my most embarrassing moments. We always make fun of our baby pictures when we were kids. We mostly laugh at the pictures when our mom use to dress us up alike. Although we sometimes get on each others nerves, we end up laughing about it in the end. She has always been there when I need a shoulder to cry on, or when I need advice on something.
     I am also grateful for my second grade teacher. She would always find a way to make everyone smile. I will never forget the time she got up on one of the tables and started to dance. She was always energetic when it came to finding a new way to teach us.  The year I had her as my teacher was her last year of teaching, she was going to retire. She was the teacher that made the most impact in me. She made me realize that school was more than haveing homework and reading books, school was about having a good time with friends, having memories and creating new ones along the way. We spend most of our lives in school, so why not make the best of it while it lasts?

Article of the Week Impressions

     This week, I learned a lot about different topics that are happening right now. For instance, I learned that millions of bees are dying. They are dying because there was a spray to help stop the zika virus but, bees were affected by the spray too. This is bad because bees help to pollinate flowers, so if the spary is killing the bees, there might be a chance that it will affect the number of flowers that blossom every year. Especially if  the spray is still being spread around to this day.

     I also learned that any form of flexible chair can help students in school. The chairs help them when learning since they are concentrating more. There was a study made to see how it helped kids that had  disabilities. This is good because if more schools use this method when teaching students, the students will be able to concentrate when learning in school.

The Election Reflection

     The election for the next president was this Tuesday, November eighth. As everyone in the United States and probably other countries know, Donald Trump won. Most people didn't expect this result, myself included. The end result was Mrs. Clinton with 228 electoral college points, and Mr. Trump with 290 electoral college points. Many newscasts said that Mrs. Clinton would for sure be the next president.

     The election had a bigger meaning behind it than seeing who was going to be the 45th president of the United States. This election showed us how now many people in the U.S have different opinions on what they want the future of our country to look like. Overall, at the end someone was going to have to win, even if most people refused to accept it.

     When the next election takes place, which is in the next four years, I will not be able to vote. I will have to wait eight years to be able to vote for the next president. Although it sounds like a long time to wait, it will hopefully pass by quickly.
