The Holocaust has to be one of the most horrible and tortuous things anyone has every heard about or encountered. Innocent people were killed for their religion and beliefs. From the time of Hitler is what you would call evil.
He was a negative man that made killing a regular thing. Also, during the World War 2 there was many people getting tortured around the world. This whole time period was just terrible all around. Nothing came out of this positive.
Very few if any survived and are still living witnesses of the holocaust. All you can do is think positive for yourself and be happy that you are not the person living through a time period of trial and suffering.

Thoughts on EOL Literacy
My thoughts on this test were very mixed before, but once i got into it the test just all started coming back to me. The thing that worried me the most was failing and having to retake or remediate in this classroom. However i was inspired by my teacher and her rewards so the cracking down began.
My mind suddenly woke up and hit me, my memory became a lot better, my awareness was astonishing, and after answering every question I turned back around and acted like I was taking the test all over again reviewing my answer's as if I have never seen them. This would help me out in the long run with rewards and myself in the future.
People ask me still today what they think I made on the test. My answer will remain the same until the scores come out this summer "Advanced". I will continue to use the process of reviewing back on my answers after my test as I raise the bar to the better level of test taking.

Thoughts on the End of Level Literacy Test
My thoughts on this test before i took it were very mixed and nerve racking. I have to admit that at first i was very scared because i didnt wan't to be the one in my grade that was left behind in remidiation. I continued to become scared all the way until about 8:20 a.m. All is well after thats when things started making me feel like a million bucks.
8:20 had to be one of the greatest feelings i have had in a long time, the test just all started coming back to me. Everything Mrs. Gillmore was teaching us telling us what was going to be on there was, she was right. My mind just suddenly woke up and hit me, my memory was astonishing my brain became a sponge.
After answering every question, i thought i would continue to raise the bar and look over every answer again like it was the first time i have ever seen them. The question is always asked how did you think you did my answer will continue to be the same " i scored advanced".

Steven is a gifted junior high school drummer that is very creative and has a great imagination and a great heart. The whole book shadows his junior year and him dealing with his 5-year old brother Jeffrey being diagnosed with leukemia. All of his friends including the girl that he has an amazing crush on feel very sorry for him and give him extra undivided attention that he feels he doesn't deserve. While Jeffrey was in the hospital Steven met a girl in their that was dealing with her own kind of disease and for the amount of time they talked she taught him the meaning a friendship, but before anymore could happen she died. Towards the end of the story Jeffrey has lost all of his hair from his sickness so Steven and many from the band shave their heads in honor of Jeffrey and makes him feel so good and normal. This story was in my words an A++ and teaches a lot about friendship and the caring for your family. Such as Steven and instead of being embarrassed and sad he was Raising the Bar for his brother.

The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald was set in the scene of the "Jazz Age" the whole book is narrated by Nick Caraway. Nick and Gatsby become very good friends an are already neighbors. Nick and Jordan become some sort of friends. Tom is married to Daisy, however Tom is having an affair with Myrtle. Gatsby and Daisy were once in love, but then Gatsby left for war. Gatsby still loves Daisy and is working through the book to get her back. Everyone in this story or for the most part has a lot of money but are all unhappy. The middle and lower class seem a lot happier then everyone else. This book turns out shocking and very good and is a very good recommendation of mine.

Materialism
Materialism to me is like saying the word fake. Now i know many of you might know what materialism actually means but when the word fake is said that is when everybody goes o OK but not in a good way. However its more like and annoyed OK because everyone in this world lies and some do it more than others and care none when it comes to hurting people.
Materialistic people like materialistic stuff such as new fashion, new apparel, new cars, etc. Just everything they can think of to be on top is what they want. So all in all Materialistic people are the ones that are snotty and greedy and can most of the time be very rude.

Junior .5
To me thinking back on all my years and then realizing I'm half way through my junior year really actually makes me think I'm a year and half away from going to college and finding my career for the rest of my life. However i do have mixed feelings.
Some of me loves high school and all my memories will last a lifetime. Also High School sports is something i will miss because it could be the last time i ever play and it will truly be missed. I will do everything and anything to make my remaining years better such as trying hard in school going 110% every time i hit the field because i will always remember this could be my last time. High School to some people is just something they can't stand and can't wait to end but to me will be sincerely missed. College is a big jump you half to think about everything you won't have. One your mom doing your laundry and cooking for you and going to the grocery story for you. Also being able to have people over on weekends to stay the night chill out catch a movie no time. Even though high school will be missed however there are some positives to college.
One thing i will love is freedom no more mom on my back telling me what to do every five seconds. Two staying up as long as i want and having as many people over as i want with unlimited parties. Three is i will get to find my career and see what i am interested in and what i will do for the rest of my life. Finally four i will hopefully find a girl that i would like to spend every second of the day with and the remaining years of my life.
This is my feelings and outlook on being .5 of a junior and what is in store for me for the rest of my high school memories and my college future who knows all i can do is raise the bar.
