Yazie's Life Soundtrack  1. My House by Flo Rida 2. Next To Me by Emelie Sande 3. Sunday Candy by Chance the Rapper 4. Stand By You glee version by Cory Monteith 5. Perfect by Simple Plan 6.This is Gospel by Panic! At the Disco These songs would be the soundtrack of my life because I think they all illustrate some type of important event in my life. For example My House is very important to me because It was playing on what so far has been the best day of my life with the people I love. Another example is, Next To Me by Emelie Sande and it was playing when I was going through one of the hardest times in my life and I just needed inspiration. So overall I think these songs just demonstrate v ery important times in my life wether happy or sad.

"The Dreamer" by Pam Munoz Ryan is a great fiction/fantasy book about a little boy and his views on life. Throughout the story it shows a little boy name Nafalti and how he is not like everyone else, he's a dream or visionary as some might say. He sees things in a different way than others. For example, a ocean isn't just a ocean to him, its another magical world that leads to a new adventure. He sees things differently like this throughout the story though his family is not so supportive of this. In the book you really see Nafalti grow and you have to read to find out what adventures he goes through and what his family says about it. This book overall was very intresting and very out of my comfort zone. I never would have pictured myself reading this book but I am glad I did! To see how the characters developed and story developed was amazing and very well written. It had twist and turns and was overall a good read. It goes through so many obstacles and yet tells

I was in lunch yesterday and everything was like normal just like dozens of days before but something happened. I came to a realization. We were in the lunch line when the simplest thing happened, I was talking and out of nowhere my best friend Luisa just started dying of laughter, figuratively of course. I didn't think I said anything funny but she obviously found something different. Then I decided to  analyze  the situation a bit longer and it hit me, something so simple can make someone laugh or make someone's day. I thought it was amazing, and to me it really showed that it's true what they say, it's the little things in life that really count. Overall, it may not have been a big thing or situation but with it did come a big lesson and realization.

End of the year!!! I honestly don't know wether to be sad or happy. Everyone is splitting up and going  seperate ways and it's getting hard to say goodbye. All the memories, courses, friends, and teachers will be missed. It will be hard to let go of middle school but at least I know that I have great things coming my way next year like high school and soon after hopefully will be college. Sometimes growing up is sad but other times it can be fun, though, with growing up comes more responsibility meaning, I have to be more organized which sometimes is a struggle. Despite everything,  middle school will be missed along with the people I have had to grow up with throughout the years.

In this blog post I am going to be very cliche and such a girl as some people would put it. I am going to tell you about one thing that really saved my life, and as you may know, its my boyfriend Sam. He saved me from a really hard time. I was broken down and afraid, fighting with my mom and having problems at home I didn't know what to do. Though, he showed me everything was going to be okay and that my perspective isn't nessasarily the only perspective. I honestly don't know what I would've done without him, I was so stuck in my own little world that I never realized maybe I need someone to help me with my problems. It really made me see that sometimes it's not always good to be alone and that we need people top help us with hard things that can potentially come crashing at our lives. All in all, Samuel really saved me from a hard time and helped me overcome all that darkness that was beginning to swallow me up and the funny part is, I don't even think he rea

My favorite subject is ELA because I've always had a passion for writing and reading a great story. It always makes me happy when I get a new book or have to write a narrative. I am always daydreaming and when I write my imagination can really come alive and run wild. Not only do I just love narratives but I also really love argumentative writing, I really enjoy a good debate. Within my writing I really try to implement  words that I Just learned or that might be harder for others. For example I would try to use words like Flabbergasted or Copacetic, something most people will wonder about and hopefully look it up to learn a new word. In conclusion, I just really love ELA and everything it has to offer!
