Week 19

If I could be reincarnated as any animal, I would probably choose to become a dolphin. I love swimming and dolphins are some of the best swimmers in the ocean. Some scientists say that dolphins are some of the most intelligent creatures on the planet, behind humans. If I could be a dolphin, I would travel around the world and I would help animals that are injured or stuck. I would use my superior aquatic intelligence to fix all the problems in the ocean. I would become an underwater folk tale. I would be the best darn dolphin the world has ever seen.


Fin

^       P.S.
That is funny because the word "fin" means "end" in Spanish. It also refers to the appendages on aquatic creatures.

Week 18

The things that make me happy include, but are not limited to, playing music, playing video games, making people laugh, being with my friends, kittens, and swimming.
I love playing music, because it is something I am truly passionate about. I love picking up a guitar or sitting at a piano. I love the way I can change the tone of a song with the slightest movement of my fingers.
One of the things that sets me apart from other people is my talent for making people laugh. I feel that everyone has a better day when they are smiling, so I make it my goal to get everyone to laugh at least one time during the day. Being in a jubilant environment makes me happy.
I love playing video games because I am a competitive person. Turning on my Xbox and playing a game to win is always fun (except when people cheat...that's never fun).
Being with friends is one of the best ways for someone to be in a good mood. When one is with the people that they consider friends, then the get to let off their stress and they can be who they want to be.
Kittens...enough said.
For as long as I can remember, I've always loved swimming. I could stay in the water all day, even though I get sunburn very severely.

Week 17

If there was a TV station that wanted to document my high school life, then I would probably just do what I normally do. I would live my life normally. To make things a little more interesting, I would do things that I normally don't do more often. I would be more productive and more creative. I don't think that I would need to be any different. I make plenty of people laugh. I think that being followed by cameras would get really, really annoying.

Week 16

I think that 2016 was...decent. Mediocre. Upsetting. Well first of all, Trump. That's all I'm gonna say about that. I'll let it be good or bad, whichever your opinion. We've had some dreary days and some pretty bad storms. Florida got hit by another hurricane. Switzerland's flag hasn't changed, and that's a big plus. I think that 2017 will be better. Our senior class will be moving on and graduating into the adult world. We'll be either going to college or will be going straight into the workforce. Hoorah! Growing up! Responsibility! Taxes! (But the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell)

Week 15

Personally, I have mixed feelings about snow. I think that the idea of small bits of frozen water falling from the sky and making things harder for everyone is kinda scary, ya know? On the other hand, snow is so cool when enough of it falls to get school canceled. I love that you can mold snow. Going outside in the snow when you have an active imagination is like letting a Kindergarten class loose in a candy store. You can build anything you want out of snow. Castles, dragons, forts, igloos... I honestly enjoy building with snow. When I was in Australia, it snowed near where I was living. They got a total of maaaaaybe a quarter of an inch on the ground. Most people in Australia have never seen snow, so it is a magical substance that they all love and admire. On the flip side, there were people who refused to drive because the evil white flakes were making the road slick.

Week 14

I think being a senior is really cool. For the first time since I started school, I actually feel like I know what I want with my life. I feel like I have actually grown up and matured. Last year, things were chaotic and disorganized. Now that I have reached my final year of school, I can do things independently and I can actually start living life how I want to live it. I think being a senior has been a really good learning experience, and I think my fellow seniors would agree.

Week 13

Being a turkey in the world today sucks. Always running for our lives but to no avail. We're always slaughtered. Whose idea was it to have turkey on Thanksgiving anyway? I like Benjamin Franklin's idea of having the turkey be the national bird of the United States. Let the humans hunt the bald eagle for once. Those big-beaked boneheads are so high and mighty just because they fly higher than us. They need to be taught a lesson. Now I know what you might be thinking. Yes...they're endangered. Whatever. I don't care, I just don't wanna die.

Week 12

The most embarrassing song on my playlist would probably be the Gerbil Song by Stephen Lynch. This song came from my wonderful mother. She introduced me to quite a few songs that I cannot name due to this being a school. I don't know if this song was ever cool, but it's fun to sing along to when it comes on and I'm alone. Sometimes I will scar my friends by playing it with them in the car. I love to see the looks on their faces when they realize what the song is actually about. I can remember showing my friend Tyler this song. When the message finally clicked, he gave me a horrified look that made me laugh so hard I had to pull over so I didn't crash.
