Lessons I learned As an 8th Grader (:

Lessons I learned As an 8th grader (: on Prezi

United Kingdom: London(: My friend Taylor

Everyone is different, Everyone is unique, Nobody dresses the same their. If you are probably trying to figure out what I Am talking about  I am talking about London. I have a friend named Taylor Miller she is not my best friend just my friend.

She lives in the U.K. When I first heard her accent It was unbelieveable. She told me she wanted to move to America. But honestly I do not know why. She is in grade 9 well that is what she calls It. I like to call it 9th grade. She said that they are 5 hours ahead and we are 5 hours behind.

She calls me a lot on oovoo because if she calls me on my cellphone it would probably be so high. She showed me her mall and she showed me part of London yesterday. I think London was very cool I want to move their. Taylor and I have a lot of stuff in common. She likes Mindless Behavior and so do I.

Sometimes I Imessage her and I forget Both of our times are different. She showed me The cars they drive their and her school. The cars they drive their are weird because the steering wheel is on the Right side instead of the left. She gets excited when I show her what America looks like. And she asks a lot of questions about It I don't really mind. Everytime we are on Oovoo i try to do my London accent and it is a complete fail!!!!!!. Alot of people say i would fit in in London (:. I am really happy that I finally have a friend from London.

Friends (:

Friends come and go.
Friends change like seasons.
Some can be real some can be fake.
But you just have to debate.
Some friends will stick with you.
Some will turn.
Soon one day you will begin to learn.
Some betray.
Some will stay.
If you ever lose a friend just begin to pray.

High School (:

Highschool requires new beginnings, new teachers , new environment and new classes.
Everyone says high school will be fun. But is it really ? Is it going  to be like  them t.v  shows that always has that bully asking you for your lunch money? or is it going to be like  a peaceful environment which you do not have to worry about all of that. No more trying to say you will turn your work in the next day like us middle schoolers do. You can say goodbye  to  sleeping in class and Hello detention. Is it true that in High school There are different cliques? Is it always going to be that one person who thinks that they are better then everyone?. A Lot of  us Middle schoolers are scared and Nervous about High school. Yes i am one of them. But hey that is life.In High school is when all of the Recruiters will watch you so that is why you have to have a positive attitude at all times. High school is it true that some of them drop out ? Or is it the teachers running  them away . Or better yet is it  the bullies ?  Pretty much most kids are scared of bullies. There are mostly a lot of stories about that . Mostly it starts in high school. My question is why be scared  of  bullies ?  Why be scared of High schoolers? They are basically just likes us. They may be bigger then us  Stronger than us but why be scared ? Do to the fact i am the only  child i am  basically  going to have to do this whole high school stuff by ,myself . But i am  kind of okay with that.To  any upcoming Middle schoolers i hope that they see this and get prepared for high school.  I am pretty sure it is not that bad.

Reading Response (I am the messenger)

Today we read about in our book that the guy Ed was going back to Edgar . To see what is going on and before all of that he went to this track where the girl  Runs at. And he had went to her house and her dad had answered and Ed gave him a Shoe box but yet it was emptied. And the girls other shoes were all tore up and stuff.

Bullying (: ^.^ stop it now !

Some bullies are really big some are tall. It doesn’t matter they will  all make you fall.
They try and put you down. Is it because they have no one around ?
They will lift you off your feet and make you tumble to the ground.
They try and knock down your self confidence soon one day the victims will use their fist.
Some bullies are not happy with them selves. If you are getting bullied just call help !!
Some people commit suicide then soon one day the bullies will use their minds.
If you are against bullying stand with me now. Because this generation has come crashing down.
Everyone is beautiful inside and out never should a person be called out.

Puerto Rico/ St. Thomas (:

It was in the summer of 2010 when me and my aunt china were going to the Islands. St. Thomas to be exact. We were going to be gone for a whole week. No service, No Internet and I couldn’t really contact my parents. My parents drove us to the airport. I could see the tears in my mother’s eyes because she was really going to miss me.

We arrived at the airport I told my mom and dad goodbye. My aunt and I got on the airplane  and we were on our way to the Islands. It was raining and alot of people were at the airport. We had to stay at a hotel in Puerto . We were so sleepy on the escalator It was going down and i was going up. Everyone laughed at me. We went to sleep.

The next day we had breakfast and we got on the next airplane to the islands. When we got their i saw my grandpa I was so excited we went to  his house. The next day we went to stores everyone had a accent just like my grandfather. We went snorkeling and then to the zoo. Everyone knew my grandfather.

I was really excited to be their but i missed my mother and father it felt like i been their for a year already. But it was really only Tuesday. My cousin Brittney, my grandpa, my uncle, and aunt we all went out. We went to my grandfather’s karate class he owns two. It was really cool.

It was finally Sunday. My aunt and I were about to leave. My grandfather drove us to the airport and we were about to be home. hours and hours later still waiting to be home i was getting impatient. Finally we were home and i was glad to see my parents. That was a trip to remember.

Showcase Post

My three favorite posts are The Scream Tour, Hunger games Blog out.And Writing assignment. Each of these posts showed how I became a better writer because in the beginning  I didn't know how to make my stories make since or how to make my stories stand out more. But during the year I became a better writer and my writing makes more since now.

The post that best reflects my creativity is the story about the Older elders point of view in Tell Tale Heart it was creative because instead of just telling about the story I came from the point of view of the Old Elder and about his eye and stuff . I knew that when i wrote this post I will become a better writer.

The post that best shows evidence of my growth as a writer is The Scream tour. I chose this story to show I became a better writer because I just put a story about me going to a concert. And at first I really was stuck and didn't know what to write about but now when I write posts I  know what to write about. As i look back  over my posts i really have gotten better.

The post that explains I am a learner or thinker is a story about me going to New York it shows I am a thinker because I knew what I was going to write about in this post I had it all planned out and the story shows I am a thinker and a learner because in the beginning of the year I didn't make any since in my writting but know I do.http://ariel-osborne.blogspot.com/2012/02/scream-tour.htmlhttp://ariel-osborne.blogspot.com/2011/11/hunger-games-blogout.htmlhttp://ariel-osborne.blogspot.com/2012/01/writting-asignment.html

The Scream Tour

My cousins and I went to the Concert called the scream tour in Columbia, South Carolina.  The concert included Mindless behavior,Omg Girlz,Hamilton Parks, Lil trill, Jacob lattimore and Diggy Simmons. This Was going to be the best concert. The concert took place at a big building called the Township auditorium. Once we arrived at the concert we sat down . It was so many girls their .  I was so excited about seeing mindless behavior . When we were at the concert it got very quiet and then some girls got on stage and were great. I was just ready to see mindless behavior. So then after that group  this young star called Lil trill performed the crowd went crazy. We were still waiting for mindless behavior .

After Lil trill and the first group were great . Omg Girlz then Hamilton Parks they were  great also but i was waiting to see mindless behavior.Diggy  Simmons did great all the girls went so crazy .Then finally Mindless behavior was about to be up. When mindless behavior performed i was so excited because that is who i wanted to see the whole crowd went so crazy . Their were people trying to run on stage. Mindless behavior did very good. I was so excited .  I was going to run on stage but their were too many Body guards.

 Ray ray , prodigy, Roc royal and Princeton The announcer called their names as they stepped on stage . I couldnt believe that i was in the same building as mindless behavior it was so crazy . The concert was  fantastic .  The  concert was over and everybody left.  Girls were still acting crazy.  They all was screaming . But  the concert was a concert to remember and i will never forget.

Writting asignment

When i was younger me and my dad went and visited my granmother in new york. I was excited about seeing her but it was a 15 hour drive. We passed through many states Pennsylvania, Delaware, New jersey. Many places. When we were driving i saw the statue of liberty It was so cool. I saw the Brooklyn Bridge.I even seen the Giants and Jets stadium.

 I seen alot of fascinating stuff. When we visited my grandmother we went and explored the city. I was excited. The streets were crowded as if we were in China. The lights were bright. As we were exploring i got lost! And i didnt see my grandmother or dad . I was scared. I knew i was going to get in trobule as soon as i see my dad. So i kept walking. When i walked someone grabbed me ......

 It Was my dad! I was happy i found him but he wasnt happy that i was lost. We still explored. When we were their we went ice skating and shopping . Then we had to go back home because my mother missed me. I was mad that i had to go back home but i was glad that i visited my grandmother and that it was fun in  new york.

I cannot wait to go back to New york again i am going back to see a group called Mindless Behavior .  I hope that it will be fun when i go back to New york i hope it will be the same as if i were little and going back to visit my grandmother.
