8 lessons to live by

Hello Readers!
Sadly this is my last blog, hopefully not forever.
Today I will be writing 8 lessons to live by from a graduating 8 grader. Hope you enjoy!

1)Don't stress
The more you think the more you stress, take a break and relax.

2)Be organized
If your not the tidiest person in the world, start working on it, it's a great skill to have.

3)Go outside every once in a while
It's nice to take a break and get some fresh air instead of studying until you die.

4)Listen to music
Music is the one thing that should calm you down while studying, no matter what genre you listen to.

5)Go with your gut
Although you aren't 100% sure, go with what your gut says, it's almost always correct.

6)Spend some alone time
You don't always need to be with friends, spend some time by yourself, treat yourself.

7)Be free
Don't let others hold you back, go forth with what you believe.

8)Failure is good
While you might fail sometimes, the ones that fail but keep on trying are the successful ones.

The Erne from the Coast

Hello Readers!
Today I am writing about a short story called "The Erne from the Coast" by T. O. Beachcroft.

“The Erne from the Coast” by T. O. Beachcroft

This story is about Harry, a thirteen-year-old Scottish boy in Scotland. Michael, one of the best shepherds in town, decides to leave to see his brother for a while so Mr. Thurburn, Harry’s dad, puts Harry in charge of the sheep. One night an erne takes one of the sheep from the herd when Harry goes to tell his father the story his father doesn’t believe him one bit. Harry is later determined to prove to his father that he isn’t lying and sets out to kill the bird but when Harry and the bird finally meet the erne kills Tassie, Harry’s dog, but Harry gets revenge, proving to his father that he is telling the truth.

Harry is transformed in more than one way by the end of the story. While Harry is thought to be lying about the Erne taking one of the sheep, he decides to show that he isn’t lying. Harry is determined to prove that he is telling the truth. Harry is emotionally affected when his father doesn’t believe his word. Harry is determined to show that he isn't lying and is telling the truth. In the end, Harry decides to prove himself and not let one person who doubts him, stop him from telling the truth. A decision in the past that has changed who I am today would be joining a club soccer team. While this might not seem that important, to me it truly is. In this experience, even my parents didn’t think I was going to be able to make the team, but I did. In this experience, I got to show my perseverance and thirst to be on the team. It has transformed me in one major way. One should never give up or lose hope even if your closest friends or family don’t believe in you.

Innovation that transformed the world

Hello Readers!
Today I will be writing about what innovation has transformed the world the most.


In my eyes, I see electricity as the most important innovation that has transformed the world. I believe this for many reasons. Electricity has helped us humans in so many ways. Without electricity we wouldn't have the internet, that would be the biggest problem, especially for this century. If electricity wasn't invented, I don't know where humans would be. That is why I chose electricity as the most important innovation that has changed the world.

Night - Relationship

Hey Readers!

Today I will be writing about my relationship with my parents, what we share, our differences, and more. 

My parents and I are relatively close to each other. While we do share many traits, we also have many differences.  As my mom always says, my father and I share the same attitude, sometimes short tempered and impatient, but also kind and caring. As for my mom, she is way calmer and patient compared to my father and I. Although my mother's personality might not be the same as mine, we do share the same mindset. Usually thinking about others that we care about before ourselves. Although my dad and I are close, we don't always see eye to eye. Like all parents and children, we'll occasionally fight. Whether the grudge will last for a day or one whole week, we eventually get over it. As for my dad, while he is more of an outgoing person, I am shyer. My father will usually make friends quite quickly, but for me, that's not the case. But as for my mother, she's more sympathetic. I am lucky to say that I got that trait from my mom. While my dad and I don't always see eye to eye, we do have the same personality. Sometimes we are like to positive magnets not wanting to connect. My mother and I don't have the same character whatsoever, but I am proud to say that I got a lot of her traits.

While being with my parents from birth. I have learned many things from them. My parents have taught me how to read and write, but most importantly, I have learned about how life will be as an adult. Having spent valuable time with them when I was younger, makes me realize that you shouldn't take life for granted. Whatever your job is in life, although it might pay well, first you should enjoy your job. I have learned that money can't buy happiness in life. It's your decisions that you make that can either ruin your life and make it even better. While one might feel as if they have learned plenty from their parents, you might learn something new if you realize what they do for you and also the people around you.
