What major changes have you experienced from middle school to high school?

       The jump from middle school to high school wasn't too drastic for me. In 8th grade the teachers started preparing us, so I pretty much knew what to expect. Although, I realized that the work load changed a ton. In middle school, all of our teachers communicated about test dates and due dates for projects because everyone took those classes. All of the graded assignments were evenly spread out and never got piled up on one day. This aspect of middle school was really helpful because I never got stressed out about schoolwork.
       The difference from this in high school is every one takes tons of different classes. It is impossible for the teachers to keep track of everyones due dates. There are some days when I barely have any homework and studying to do, but then the end of the week comes and I have tests, quizzes, and graded work all due on one day. It is just a matter of planning out and getting organized for me because it is a huge change in school work from middle school to high school.

    this is so true! I feel like in middle school I was only stressed when I had practice and homework due, but now I have to worry about the piles of homework we get. Great job!

Fall Break Free Post

       Fall break is definitely one of my favorite breaks. It is a great break from school to relax and have fun. This past break, my mom and one of my friends mom surprised us with a trip to New York for our birthdays. We were both super excited and could not wait until we got there.        We had to get up at 3:30 Thursday morning to get to New Orleans to catch our flight. After the short plane ride, we did not waste any time, we jumped right in to doing things. We shopped the first day and went out to dinner for an early birthday dinner at the Sugar Factory. The next few days, we spent in Central Park, Little Italy, Brooklyn, and SoHo. Also, we went to see Hamilton. It was awesome! Overall, I had a very fun fall break and got a good break from studying and homework.

Kayaking

        This summer when I was at camp in Washington I went kayaking in the San Juan Islands. On the last day, there was a huge channel we had to cross. It was 6 miles long. On the channel, there were ferries, boats, and sailboats all crossing. Also, it was the most popular time of year for boats. To top it off, it was about to rain so the currents were even stronger. Aside from the currents and traffic, the water was crystal blue and the wind was blowing off the chilly water so the weather was perfect.        My group and I started on shore on the other side of our destination. We took a long break and then decided to cross the channel. The kayaking guides instructed us where to point our kayaks to break the currents. Once we started the adrenaline kicked in and we started to paddle through. At points, it felt as if we were getting pulled backwards but we kept having to paddle strongly. The best feeling was when we made it back to the harbor and...

What were your favorite characters childhood shows and characters?

      My favorite childhood show was Hannah Montana hands down. My sister and I would sit on the couch and watch it for hours. As my 6 year old self, I thought it was so cool that Hannah had two identities, the other being Miley. Also, she was a teenage pop-star. She became famous all around the world at such a young age. Her costumes and outfits were so over the top and awesome; I always looked forward to her new "concert outfit". It was so unbelievably cool to me that Miley Cyrus started acting at such a young age and was a part of a TV show all girls looked up to.       My obsession with this show led me to my obsession with Hannah Montana. I thought of her as an awesome person and aspiring singer in this show. Now, of course I don't really know much about her because she isn't as public, but I think it would be so cool if she made a re-run. Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus inspired me as a kid and i still wish it was running.
