I started my Serra career in the 6th grade. My teacher was Mrs. Fiore. She's my mom but I respected her in the classroom and always followed directions. The people that helped me feel welcome were Hannah, Paige, and Laura. This year I went to Science Camp and really bonded with my classmates. I loved getting to know each and every one of them in a special way. Everyone in my class welcomed me to Serra and I would never choose a different school because none of them are better. During this year I ran for the Student Council. Unfortunately, I lost but I accepted the title of Member at Large. I tried out for the school play Cinderella. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed being around all of my friends. The play was a great experience for me and I've tried out for everyone since. In 6th grade technology we did a Natural Wonders Project.
My second year at Serra was in the 7th grade. My teacher was Mrs. Matsukane. Mrs. Matsukane was a wonderful teacher that related to me in so many ways. She's as much of a Lord of the Rings fanatic as I am and we always talked about how good the movies and books are. My friends during 7th grade were Laura, Paige, Andrius, John, and Stephanie. My friends were so helpful to me this year and I would never trade them for the world. My friends are like shooting stars, you can ask them for anything and your wish is always granted. Also during this year we did a Hobbit Game Project. This was one of the most fun projects during this year. During the 7th grade we did an Animal Kingdom Project in Technology. I did mine on the giraffe. I tried out for the play Bye Bye Birdie and got a small part but I made the best out of it. During this year Bretton Friestedt died. Although I didn't know him that well, I felt the heartbreak of my classmates. I ran for the student council again this year and I won the title of Secretary. I didn't start this role until the next year but I was looking forward to it with much excitement.
My last year at Serra is my 8th. My teacher's are Mrs. Muzzy and Mrs. Tilton. They are so nice and always help me out. My friends during this year are Andrius, John, Paige, and Laura. My teachers made learning fun. They always stopped if someone had a problem and always had an enthusiastic point of view. We went to Leadership Camp at Pali Mountain and it was the best experience of my life. I conquered my fear of heights and did many fun activities. I got very close to my classmates and I got especially closer to my main group of friends. I learned so much about them and I'll never forget how special they are to me. Social Studies became my new favorite subject with the help of Mrs. Muzzy. This year I am holding the office of secretary. It is a fun experience.
What I remember most from Serra was the Cartoon Books in 6th grade. When we did this we took vocabulary words and made them into sentences, wrote the definition, and gave an example of the word found in a newspaper or magazine.
This year I am in the 8th grade. I am looking forward to graduation and learning what I need to know to be a wonderful high school student.
Three things I do well are:
1. mathematics- I do this well because I love math and study hard and love learning the answers to challenging things.
2. solving problems / talking about problems- I love helping people out. I love giving them advice to help them with their future.
3. making friends- I love making new friends and learning more about people every day. They help me through life just as much as I help them
Three things I would like to improve about myself are:
1. being scared- I wish I could just get up in front of a huge crowd and speak. I can do this and I make it look easy but it's not like that. I get really scared and my palms get all clammy. I just wish that I wouldn't get that way.
2. being wrong- I'm not saying that I want to know everything but I'm talking about when people ask me for advise. There is mo worse feeling than giving someone the wrong advise.
3. being a better student- I think everyone wants to be a better student and get better grades but I really want to be better in everything that I can improve upon.
Three things I enjoy doing are:
1. hanging out with my friends- I love hanging out with my friends. They are a joy to be around and I have a blast just being around them.
2. going to the movies- Going to the movies is so much fun because I can socialize with my friends while having a blast.
3. talking- Talking is a great thing to do because it helps you learn your language and you can say so many things.
A goal I have for this year is: to get great grade so that I can get into a great high school and collage.
I will achieve this goal by:
1. studying hard
2. getting rid of distractions
3. doing all homework
