I don't have a truth that I was afraid of. I can't think of anything that I was afraid to admit to.

 Well, the adventure I would like to go on is scuba diving. I have never been in the sky flying I just want to experience it. A lot of people do not do a lot of things in life. They probably want to do it but just stay at home and watch other people do it but I'm trying to do it. And plus it would be fun to be in the sky looking over the world. But today we had to read another poem by Robert Frost called The Road Not Taken. In this poem, frost talks about how life is and there 2 roads. He had been taking one road every single day until he saw the other road. He wanted to see how the other road is because nobody does not take that road. But both of the roads end at the same place. So he had a life choice to choose. Either to keep taking the same route or take a different route. He took a different route and he didn't regret the choice that he made.

 Something that I will never fully understand is why we have Wonder Patches. It's a waste of time. The second day we got them, everybody got their phones out. It just doesn't make sense. If our school gets shot up, how will we call the police if you all can't? It won't make sense, and plus, when we don't have work to do, our phones entertain us. But today we read a poem called The Birches, by Robert Frost. The story is about a girl who is in love with fall but doesn't want fall to leave. She doesn't want winter to come. After we read the poem and it was long we had to do a worksheet about it we didn't finish it. But that's what happened today.

 A moment of unexpected kindness was when I bought snacks in the store with my mom. This man came up right behind me and bought all of my snacks. I was so happy that I didn't have to spend my money and I knew that God helped me. One time I did it was when a group of boys wanted to get on this ride with his family but he couldn't jump in line with them, so I let him and his family through and they said thank you. I was so happy that I did something in life and felt different. But today in class we finished the back of the paper "Out Out", and when we got done we had to do another poem by Robert Frost called "Nothing Gold Can Stay". It is about a girl who is crying because her favorite season fall is leaving. It shows me that you can want anything but it can get taken from you any day. Now we have to do a project about the new story called "Nothing Gold Can Stay".

 The day I moved up here I was surprised how different it is from Milledgeville. It's bigger and you can go to a lot of places. Then I got a job I was so happy and thankful that I even got the job. The first time I saw the school was surprising too. It was different from my other school. Bigger a lot of people here and nobody knows me. But today in class we read a poem by Robert Frost called "Out Out". The book is about a young boy who is working out the field and wants to go play but he accidentally cuts his hand off and dies. This book shows me that kids cannot do grown men's work. Let them be a kid, don't grow them up too fast.

 The first time I felt completely when my friend got locked up. When I got that called that he got locked up I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what happened or how it happened. Before it even happened I talked to him on the phone a couple of weeks ago before he got locked up. But today in class we had to finish our one pager. I had to rush quickly because we had to do our new vocabulary words. I got done with the one-pager but not the vocab. Today I feel good. I'm actually having a good day.

 A place I never wanted to leave is Milledgeville, where I was born and raised. I really wanted to move to Atlanta because it was better opportunities up here. Milledgeville didn't really have good opportunities. The one day February 12, I was outside waiting at this party with my brother and then somebody's tried to jump me, almost got shoot. My mom and auntie did not like that so, they moved me to Atlanta. I really didn't want to leave my friends and family. I like being in Atlanta its really big but still the same as Milledgeville. Today in class, we had to make a one pager about this short story "Ambush" By Tim O'Brien. When making this one pager it make me think about me going to the military because it shows me how serious the war is. The war is life or death.

 Today we had to take a test about the book. He let us study for 5 minutes. I had to study because some of the things in the book I forgot. We got to testing it had about 27 questions it was an easy test and I passed with a 77.8. It ain't good but at least I passed. But during the test, he said that we did not have to present the project anymore and that whatever you turned in is the grade you good. But that's what happened folks and I will see you next week.
