My Marlin

    

     Starting high school the stress sets in. Thinking about what I want to be in the future and what college is right for me. Freshman year is the most important year and most of my friends didn't have classes with me. I'm a very shy person and keep to myself unless I know the person well. In middle school I had slacked off in school especially 7th grade. But I was determined to make honor roll freshman year. Coming in to high school I was scared of what would happen. I didn't want to get distracted and mess up. I wanted to have good grades in all my classes.

     The first few weeks of my freshman year I kept to myself.  I meet a few new people like Jonathan who was in my history class. He was tall and goofy. He had light brown eyes and wore braces. HE would get mad so easily but he was fun to be around. He made me laugh until my stomach would hurt. But I knew I had to concentrate in school. Every week I had quizzes and tests. But I would study hard for them something I normally didn't do I would just wing at them. I would study vocabulary words over and over again. Read through my notes till my eyes would close from my tiredness.

     In class everybody seem to think I was a nerd and too quiet but I didn't care. In my math class I would always be answering questions and in science as well. It came to a point where my teachers would ask a question and say except for Aydee. My science teacher literally would give me more work and I would be ahead of the class. A couple of times she would say "I don't know what else to give you." I didn't want people to dislike me but I couldn't help myself. My friend Allen always said "you're so smart Aydee, how do you do it?" Truth is it isn't easy.
     So far I had made honor roll first semester, my hard work was paying off. That when I meet Erica it's kind of weird how we meet. She just randomly went up to me and asked me a question and we talked about everything. After that we would talk all the time and we started spending more time together. This helped me become less shy around others as well. She would make fun of because I did all my work sometimes even before it was due. But I was willing to do anything to get honor roll all school year.
     Around May I had realized that I was actually about to reach my goal. Only a few weeks left of school and finals were coming up. The best part was I only had to take 2 finals because I had A's in my other classes. Gym was a final we had to take no matter what our grade was. And my other one was algebra because annoying teacher decided that because of a 92 I had to take it. One point from not taking it! After finals I didn't go back to school there was really nothing to do. I waited every day for my report card. That was the ultimate proof that I had done it. And finally it came. I caught my marlin.

Dia de San Valentine

     The story behind Valentine's day is about Saint Valentine who secretly married soldiers from Claudius II who forbid young men from getting married because he thought the soldiers would become to attached with their families and wouldn't make good soldiers. Claudius found out what Valentine was doing and sent him to prison. Valentine met a prisoner there who had a blind daughter and it had been said that Valentine had healing powers. And supposedly Valentine cured his daughter. Claudius was impressed but Valentine still disagreed with the marriage issue. The emperor tried converting Valentine to notice Roman gods but couldn't. Valentine tried to convert the emperor and that had consequences and he order an execution. Valentine had fell in love with the prisoners daughter and before he was killed he sent a message to her that said "From Your Valentine." It is said that Valentine was killed on February 14, 270 AD. We celebrate Valentines day because over the years it became about love and a man sending a message to his love.

 

 

 

     According to the graph the majority of break ups occur during spring break, and two weeks before Christmas. Most people break up because they want to have fun during spring break and want to be free and not have to worry about someone else. But you can have fun with that special someone to. You don't have to break up with someone to enjoy yourself because that's why you got with them in the first place to have someones company and to be loved. The majority of break ups happen because people make mistakes like cheat, stupid arguments or other problems. If you know you won't stay faithful don't get in to the relationship but you should try and control yourself because you wouldn't want that to happen to you. Sometimes money could be the problem because you have to buy presents but you can make things for the person, its the thought that counts.

Personification

Personification is when you give inanimated objects human qualities. For example saying he did not realize that his last chance was walking out the door. A chance at something can't walk out of a door like a human. Another example would be my computer throws a fit every time I try to use it. This means the computer decides not to work when I use it. Personification is a funny way of demonstrating things. Treating them like if they were human.

 

Monday is like a boring and lazy man. He's dull and has no enthusiasm for anything. Hes tired and sleepless. Hes lifeless and drags himself to get places.

 

Tuesday is the guy that isn't noticeable or important. He walks the hall but nobody cares about him. No one gets excited to see him. He's just there.

 

Wednesday is that middle child. They don't get all the attention like the older and younger siblings. They have more stress. And try to be better at things and get noticed.

 

Thursday is that girl whose on her period. Everything annoys her because it's been a long week but she's happy its almost over. Shes grumpy and just wants to go off on people but then she becomes excited. She has mood swings and just wants to get everything over with.

 

Friday is that happy little girl with candy. She runs around and shows off her candy. Happy to finally have it. Full of joy and excitement. Nobodies happier than her.

 

Saturday is a crazy hyperactive women. Ready to party her butt off. Full of life and wants to just have fun. Wants to go wild and look amazing.

 

Sunday is that relaxed person who doesn't want to do anything. Just wants to sleep all the time. They want to stay in bed all day. Just be comfortable and relax.
