Costa Rica

     

I would really love to go to Costa Rica! It looks like a magical place, it's so beautiful and looks amazing. When I see pictures of it I just really hope I can go there sometime. I would love to see all the waterfalls, that's one reason I would really want to go there. I would love to try other stuff like their food. I think if I were to go I would have an amazing time so I'm planning on it. 

Compare and contrast

In the book Backlash and Out of my mind there was a few similarities and some differences. Some similarities I saw was that in backlash Lara gets bullied ten times more than others kids which to me she gets treated differently and in the book Kut of my mind Melody gets treated differently because of her disability. Since they both get treated differently they end up having a ruff life, Lara because she gets picked about her weight, people try to "catfish" her which was her best friend and also people somewhat threatened her before. Melody had a ruff life because she couldn't do things like all the other kids for example walk, talk, eat, shower herself or even simple things. At school she ends up being in this team but once the team didn't tell her about the flight things went wrong. Some differences I saw was that Lara had her former best friend and her best friends mom ruin her life and Melody just had person problems that made her life harder than everyone else.  That's what I noticed but I also love both books they all have this amazing "story" and I think that everyone can learn something from both books.

Out of my mind.

In the book Out of my mind by Sharon M. Draper the one problem is that the girl melody has this sort of problem she has to deal with her whole life. She has a photographic memory. She can't talk,walk, write, feed her self or any of those things. She's like the smartest one in her school but no one knows that, even teachers and students think she's not capable of learning when really she is. I really don't like that because you're supposed to help the students try to be successful no matter what and even when the teachers think you aren't very capable of learning, what does that prove to melody. Been the doctors can't really "fix" melody or even try to understand her. In the text it states, " None of them can fix me, so I usually ignore them and act like the retard person they think I am." I really like how she said this because it's like she's saying since they can't help me, why should I try to cooperate with them when all they think is that I'm a retard. I just really love how that was said. This also showed that even the people that can help her, they don't because they think she's a "retard" I'm her own word.

New Years resolution

My New Years resolution is to stop being so nice because I noticed that when I'm nice I let people walk over me and they  take advantage. I not going to totally stop being nice I just want people to know that I'm not going to let them walk over me anymore and take advantage. I also am going to stop caring what other people think about me because the more I care the less I feel good about my self so, I'm just going to block it out or laugh and go along with them like I don't care what they say anymore. I feel like that would make my year so much better. I'm also going to stop being so shy because that takes over it doesn't let me do the things I want to do because I'm so scared so that's my New Years resolution.

Out of my mind

In the book Out of My Mind by, Sharon M. Draper I really love this one quote on page 174, " I believe in me. And my family does. And Mrs.V. It's the rest of the world I'm I'm not so sure of." The reason this quote sticks out to me is because it's so strong and powerful. It's saying yeah I believe in me and so so a couple of people but the world? Would they? Like do you they care or do I just have to believe in myself and not have other people help me. Like its good but it only matters if I believe. I just really love this quote a lot. I feel like it means a lot, not just to me but to other people as well.
