Jordon's English blog

 Hey, jordon this is me writing to you 10 years later.  You will be 27 this year and I hope you have fun. But I wanted to talk to you about some things. You need to make sure that you are in a great position and graduate college. Have all of your credits and make your family proud. Make sure you buy your mom a house and keep your little sister and brother safe because they are a lot and I know. I know Grandpa left when you were 7 but it's okay, don't let that mess with your emotions. Be safe and marry the girl you love the most and don't cheat. Make sure you get paper and be safe. Hope you make it to the military and do good. Just know you're built for this, and be positive, and respectful to people. I hope you live old and have 3 kids. But today Mr. Rease was not here. So I just worked on my project.

 My approach to creativity with this project is to use resources and think about what is more important. First I see what character I want to use for this project. Second I search for information to use in my project to talk about my character. Third I made a Google slide to use the information and connect it to how my character feels. A project that I most proud of is a project in 6 grade that I did. It was a science class and we had to do the earth, crust, inner crust, and more. I liked the project because I had to take my time and it was amazing. I had the best one in the class and everyone liked it. But today we had to do a project about one character in a lesson before dying. I choose Jefferson because he is going through a rough time. I'm doing the soundtrack because rappers make songs about how hard it is and people being racist to them. 

 A time when I took a hiatus was from school work and my Jousha law aka driving license. Well, my mom called my auntie and me saying I wasn't doing school work which I didn't know we had work and my grades were going down and I didn't like that. My mom told me that I needed to be doing my house law so I could get, my license and stop playing around. It impacted me really well because I had to stop being a child and really take stuff that I need in the future. For example, my grades need to be good enough for college and the military. I will need my license to drive where I need to go instead of calling people to come get me or get an Uber. But today in class we had to do some vocabulary and they were new. I never used these words before but I know I can use them in the future. After we wrote down the vocabulary we had to do a worksheet about them it was pretty easy but I can definitely use these words in the future. 

 Something that I wish that I could unhear was my teammate died. I was in the 7th grade and everyone came to school crying. I didn't know what happened because I was just coming off virtual. When I asked one of the girls that I was cool with she told me that one of my teammates had died. I didn't want to hear that. It just kept going through my mind that whole day. I didn't know what to do but kept my head up for the rest of the day. But when I got home I just cried. My mom came into my room and hugged me. He was like a brother to me and I still miss him. He died from saving his mother from drowning. But today we finally came to school. Today we had to do a semester check on our grade in the class. It really shows me that I need to start doing my work when it's virtually. But I hope everyone is having a good day.

There was a moment when I helped a friend through a tough time, and I truly felt that I had the power to make a difference in their life. My friend was going through a difficult situation—dealing with a personal loss—and they were feeling overwhelmed and isolated. I noticed they had been distant, so I reached out to check in and offer a listening ear. but today we had to do more questions about a lesson before dying and I can say that this book is getting crazy. I wish we were at school today because it doesn't look bad at all outside. but I hope everyone has a great day and sees everyone tomorrow.

 A place where I feel most at peace is with my friends or at home. Because it feels different around them and we have a lot of fun and we do things. Other people I will be around with it don't feel the same. Sometimes the energy is off or they vibe. But today we had to ask some more questions about a lesson before dying. This chapter has told me a lot of things and some people need to read this book so it can change their lives so they won't have to be in this predict of meant. But I hope everyone is safe today and stays on the roads.

 A time that someone's words had a lasting impact on me was my mother. We were talking about my future and what I was doing and I didn't know what to do. She told me I needed to stop acting childish and be different, and if I kept acting how I was acting I was not going to have a good life. It had me thinking and it still has me thinking until this day today we were out of school and we just had to do some questions on a lesson before dying. But I hope everyone is having a good day and being safe.

 An object that holds value to me is my grandpa's register book. Because I didn't want him to die, it really hurt my feelings. I was at the hospital when I was 6 or 8. My mom had run into my room and got me and my other siblings up and we drove all the way to Macon. I didn't really know what was going on. But I really wanted to go see him but you had to be 16 and older. I was in the lobby kicking my feet with my sibling and my dad went into his room. And he said his last words to him. And then we left my dad crying. I didn't know until my mom told me the next day. But today we did it in class. We had to do a paper called Steal. I did it with my classmate Rakai and it was very easy.

 One time I had to step out of my comfort zone was when my friend was doing some weird things behind my back. Talking about me and telling my business to people. So I had comforted him about it and he lied. I showed him the text messages and you told me the truth. I had cussed him out and said some mean words to him, but after we talked about it, and got back cool. But today in class we had to do some discussion questions on a lesson before dying. Chapter 10-11 and we had to write a letter to the prison about some things we didn't like from a grant perspective. I had got done with it but I had to take my time to do so.

 If I was president of America five things I would do are help and feed all of the poor. When doing so it can show people how I care and respect them. Put money into schools to help kids and my own kids with their education. Have a big party because I will be rich at the end of the day. Start me a clothing brand, it shows that I'm hard working and I will be making money on the side. Sponsor 2k because that's the best game out. Be the greatest at 2k, it will give me a lot of respect. But today in class we talked about Jimmy Carter. I knew about Jimmy Carter; he helped black people a lot, but it was his birthday, and people around us celebrated. But we had to do some work about Jimmy Carter which was easy but I learned some new things about him.

 A dream that i had that felt real, it was like the purge. It was me and my family and friends outside shooting everybody that tried to get us. But it was like a comedy movie like the Meet The Blacks. It was a funny and crazy dream I had we didn't die we survived the purge. But today in class we had to 10 question about us and I had to retake my finals because I went to the bahaamso at the end of the week for the finals and missed the retake so I had to do it at school and passed it.

 For Christmas, my family and I went to the Bahamas, so I wasn't at school for the last few days and couldn't take my finals. But we first went to Miami and it was great, the tall buildings, the sky, and the cars were cool down there. The next day we got on the cruise ship for the bahomas. At first, I didn't want to go but then I got cool with some people and was really having fun. After the cruise, we went back to my hometown and slept and chilled at home. I came back up to ATL 2 days later. It was really fun spending time with my family when I didn't leave with my mom and dad. It was fun and I enjoyed spending time with them. One thing that made me mad was I had got my mother and stepdad something for Christmas and I thought both of their Christmas presents were going to be big but they were small. It could fit in the palm of my hand. For New Year all I did was chill at home by myself. 5 goals I want to achieve this year are to get my job back, get a cargraduatingte t...
