Good Bye To You.

4th Period

May 13, 2019

Dear Creative Writing Class,

Well this is it my last post for class, and I well miss this class. What I will not miss is the prompts for this class, but some of the posts and prompts were fun. Like the Ten Quotes To Sum Up My School Year, One Syllable Poem, and Random Thoughts. Even though my Random Thoughts were not prompts they were still fun. I loved this class so much and I will miss it and this will not as fun at home as it is at school. The way the class acts is quite and clam, but not like my friends we are loud and care-free. As I said in my last post What I Think Of My Friends they help make fourth period so less boring and normal. They laugh with me, talk with, make fun of each other with me, and make snap-chats with. This is not my greatest post but it is my saddest one. Goodbye and fair well

Sincerely, Your Friend 

Mathew. 

What I Think About My Friends

What Group Of Friends I Have:

I think my friends are so much better at Blackman then Riverdale because there I had so much drama with them during middle school and it was going to go high with us and then I moved here, Blackman High School, and everyone here are so nice and caring. I love all my friends here and I hate that I have to leave them at Blackman, but new school equals new friends and maybe some old ones too. The thing is my friend groups are kinda out of it. I have The Gays, The Fun Ones, and The High Ones and there are some others but they are more of friends of friends. The Gays are my friends who are gay, bisexual, pansexual, and Trans. They are the friends I can be very gay around and feel like myself and not someone else. The Fun Ones are people in my classes who help be happy then sad or focus sometimes but I still get my work done. The High Ones are my friends who get high, but I just talk to some of them that way I have friends on the bus. The other friends are people can help me if I am sad and The Fun Ones can’t cheer me up, but yea there’s my friend group. What friends do you have? Do you have friends like me or no, or do you just have normal friends like all the other people that aren’t in my friend group?

What I Think Of My Gay Friends:

My gay friends are just my Friends, but I call them that because they are just what it says gay. So what I think of them is I think they are the nicest people and funniest people I have met at this school. I love them to death and they love me to death also, but sometimes we fight and it is not okay. Then we make up with each other so we can have our Gay Best Friend back. Enough about fighting and loving lets talk about how I think they are funny as heck. I have a few of the best gay friends ever. The first gay friend I met was Liam and he was really fun. I liked meeting him and I am sad that I am leaving to go to Rockvale. 

What I Think About My Friends In 4th:

This is about two friends there names are Faith and Megan. Even though we had a few fights with each other I still love them. I don’t know what 4th period would be like with out them, but I can tell you what it is like with them. It is fun, loud, upsetting, but in most parts it is fun and loud. I love them but sometimes I can’t stand Megan and her drama and can’t stand Faith with her “Can’t find a boyfriend” drama. Sometimes I need time away from the drama. That’s way I can’t wait tell summer for less drama and more fun. Yes, I will miss them and miss having fun with them, but it will be better with my family outside playing and watching movies. Enough on the summer, lets talk about the 4th period fun we have. After we do our work we play and forget all about it until it is due and we have made a good grade. Well that is it for the friends in 4th.

 What I Think Of The Friends I Made This Past Month:

I think the friends I made this month have changed my school year for Rockvale. They are going and they are in the band so it would be really easy to talk to them when I see them at Rockvale. I haven’t made a lot of friends this past month but with the friends I have made are so much fun. We joke around with each other and we laugh at other people when they make mistakes even we laugh at each other. I don’t want to leave Blackman but I have to. The friends I made this month will help make Rockvale so much more bearable to me. 

The Last Random Thought (May) :(

Why English Essays:

Why do we have to do Essays for English or better yet why do we have to write about something we don’t want to write about? It’s so stupid for someone who loves to write but hates to be told what to write. I hate that I love writing stories I am not told to write but when I am told to write it sucks it is torture to me to be forced to write. Like I love writing about horror and love but I hate writing about World War Two and The Dust Bowl. I hate writing bout that stuff where is the love, the horror, and the feeling if they are going to make it or die. That is the type of writing I like so I say that We stop making kids writing about theme and History and let them write what ever they want to write. 

Why Prompts:

 Like I said I don’t like writing with prompts but I will write with a native prompt. Just because it is telling me to write something about my life, horror, or just a random event. Prompts are just stupid like annoying little siblings. The prompts are just stupid the way they ask you questions. Like one essay I got stated, “Was Atticus a good father to Scout and Jem Finch.” I really didn’t know how to answer that with out it sounding stupid, because I didn’t really know what to say he was a good father but at the same he was a bad father because he didn’t stay with them as long as he could.  

The Last Random Thought:

This isn’t part of this Post but this is the last Random Thought so I thought I should make a section for this. The Last Random Thought was a thought a few weeks ago and it has stuck with me for a long time now. I have always asked this question to myself but not to other people. So the question is Why do we have to use prompts to write an English essay? If you have any thoughts please tell me and I love you guys from the first to last day of school even if we had problems.

10 Quotes That Sum Up My School Year

  • Aug- “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
    ― Dr. Seuss. I pick this quote for the month of August because this is the month where I had to change schools from Riverdale to Blackman and now that I did I am super happy because I can be myself.

  • Sept- “Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.”– Helen Keller. I picked this quote because this is the month where I was the happiest. I was so happy because by this month I had about twenty or thirty friends.

  • Oct- “Oh yes, there will be blood!” – the movie Saw II actor Tobin Bell. I picked this quote for the month of screams and blood because this is my second favorite month. This is my second favorite because it is the only time I get to be scary and freaky.

  • Nov- “Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”–Marcel Proust. I pick this quote not just for the day called Thanksgiving but because this quote for this month because this is the month that my aunt Kelly was born and I am so thankful for her because she is the one who helps out with everything if things are wrong. So I am so thankful for her. Also because this is the month were I had the most friends of the school and that they loved me for being gay and being myself.  

  • Dec- “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” ― Mark Twain. I picked this quote for this month not because it was the month that Christ was born but because it is the moth my baby cousin is born. Even though we went to school for two weeks my other two weeks were great I went to my Nana’s and for the school weeks I went home early or wasn’t then for the mid-terms.   

  • Jan-  “I get nervous about everything. Sometimes I literally don’t know why I’m anxious. I just am and no-one seems to understand that.”– Healthy Place. I picked this quote for this month because after this month my anxiety has been going up because this is the month I first had to go gym, and there is this one person who hated me and then he speared his hate to other people and even to me. But the hate he gave me was the power to hate him and stay quite about it, but later in the school year I don’t say quite and I have people help me with him.

  • Feb- “We hide to try our feelings, but we forget that out eyes speak.” — Healthy Place. I picked this quote for this month because it is the month that I was the most depressed because my sister moved away and she didn’t tell anybody but me and her new boyfriend, and now I feel guilty because I didn’t stop her or tell anyone about her plan. And with the anxiety going up it just got with this month because my second mom, my sister, moved away.     

  • March- “If Beauty is excuse enough for Being, it sure takes Plainness then to feel the real necessity for—Doing.” ― Eleanor Hallowell Abbott, Little Eve EdgartonI picked this quote because it was just a plain month nothing happened and this month I thought my anxiety was going down.

  • April- “Do what you can, with what you’ve got, where you are.” — Theodore Roosevelt. I think this quote would be the best for this month because of all the stress and anxiety the EOC brought me, and also because I had to stay in 6th period for an hour or at least close to two hours.

  • May- “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” ― Mahatma Gandhi. I picked this quote because this is the last month and it is my birth month and I got my permit and I can drive now so yay.

 

One Syllable Poem

Hurt Feelings, Hurt Body

 

 

Roses are red like the blood we bleed,

The mind we have has to think for us,

cause with out it we will be out of our mind,

This is why when we have a hurt mind we have a hurt bod.

 

 

The eyes we use to see, uses them to cute or dull,

but the eyes do not do that all the time.

But most of the time they see dull man,

When we see cute men or style we try to hold on to it.

 

 

The times we see style we see trees or grass,

Like the roses we see we see style and red,

Roses are red and style glad but they die,

like we do but they get hurt like us and cut like us.

 

So like I said when we have a hurt bod we have a hurt mind.

The days we do not are the good days but like all days they end.

We have the good days and bad but with the bad days they are the worst.

But they do get better and they will be better from the first bad to the last bad day.

 

 

 

How To Get Ready For Vacation

Today I am going to tell you how to get ready for vacation for a few days. I went on vacation a few weeks back to go to Florida. What I had to do was pack one suitcase and two or three bags. I packed cloths, of course, a blanket, for the car, and coloring books with color pencils. The way you pack to go to Florida or North Dakota are 

  1. You plan to where ever you are going.
  2. You get a suitcase and make sure it can hold all your cloths.
  3. You fold your cloths it to squares.
  4. Then you put your cloths in the suitcase.
  5. Then you pack another bag if your suitcase does not fit all of them.
  6. Then you get a cooler and pack food and drinks.
  7. Then you pack your car.
  8. Now finally you are on your way to where ever you are going to.

What I Think About My School

                 I think Blackman is a good high school for me but, there are some people are just plain out mean here I try being to this one girl and she is always moody when anyone tries talking to her. There  is this one guy who is mean to me because I am gay and he is just so angry all the time. But after you push aside all the mean people here the school is really good.  The band is very nice and the teachers are nice but two. Anyway the school of Blackman is a nice and outgoing school it makes me feel right at home here. I love this school. 

People I Love Here:

  1. Meagan

  9. Lexi
  10. Lauren

        I love this school because all my friends love me and I love them.

1 out of four random thoughts

My Random Thought is…

                    When people are kind does it mean that they are weak or strong? Because I am a nice person and I do nice things but people are always so mean to me and it doesn’t make sense. Why do some people have to be so mean to people who are nice but not mean? I don’t understand people and it sucks because you feel unless and unloved. People are nice and mean just some people don’t know how to act, but this is something to keep in mind if you hangout with mean people you become one. 

Current Events Of College

 What Is Going On In College…

In the last month 50 people got arrested with the connection with college cheating admissions scam. They would cheat on standardized test and bribe the admission administration.

What I Feel About This…

I feel that the colleges are making the kids do this and that the kids going to these colleges are just victims of a scam for their money. This makes me want to look in some colleges that I was looking in to. To see if they are doing this scam because I don’t want to be part of scam and not have any money to get out of the scam.

Parents Arrested For College Cheating Scandal…

On Wednesday April 3, 2019 , Peter Jan Sartorio was found guilty in college cheating scandal . He paid $15,000 to have someone correct his daughters’s ACT answers. He is just 1 out 33 parents. Actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman are facing charges for their involvement in the scandal. Sartorio likely won’t be the only parent to admit guilt.

What I Feel About Parents Doing This…

I think parents should let their kids fail because it shows them that they will not get everything they want. It seems like only the rich parents are doing this for their children, and I have no clue why only rich kids get this type of treatment but kids like me don’t get this type we just have to fix the problem or don’t and fail. The kids who get this aren’t lucky they are stupid because their parents have to bribe the schools to get in and not rely on their smarts to get them in. I know that parents who do this just want the best for their kids but sometimes they have to let there kids fail once in a while because that way the kids know what the real world is like.
