Tips-A Very Useful App

There’s an app called tips, that you automatically have on an apple device. I don’t think you can get it on the app store. It gives you different tips, usually shortcuts. I like it because it tells you many shortcuts that make using the device easier. I can’t find a link because it’s only on iPhones (I think).

2 Finalists

Over all, I liked planner #10. Here’s stuff I like about planner 10:

  • It is black and white, so it doesn’t get the reader distracted
  • It has if it’s completed

Things I don’t like about it are:

  • It doesn’t have a due date
  • The boxes are a little small

Things I like about planner 5 is:

  • It has funny names for example: Wednesday=humpday

Things I don’t like about it are:

  • It has a lot of colors and it’s hard to focus
  • It has a lot of crazy pictures above
  • It doesn’t have a due date
  • There are little boxes everywhere
  • It doesn’t have a place to cheek off

Sliding into Fame by Marlo Hulnick

I dedicate this piece of writing to sombody that was on my team named Collin.

They were down by 2. It was a sunny hot day. There was no shade to block the scorching sun. We were on the soccer field at camp. Iceflyers (my team) v.s. Areos for the championship. There was 15 minutes left in the game. The best player on the other team was dribbling the ball down the field. I wanted to win this thing. I was gaining speed. I was coming from behind. I got the courage to slide tackle. I was a little nervous because I knew it was going to hurt when my body contacted the turf. I was right behind him, about to slide. And somebody from the other team ran in front of me to block me. I juked him. Then another person attempted to block me. I juked again. Then I knew I had to do. I was hot, and sweaty, and tired, but I knew it would be worth it.  I sprinted my hardest to the left. Then the moment came. I ran to my right with all my power and slid. I felt the burn as my body slid across the turf. It really hurt, but it also felt like gliding on thin air. It was worth it. They didn’t score. I got up. It felt like pins and needles but I fought through it because I had to be up in case of more action. I could already feel the fame and proudness rushing through my veins and bones. I thought that was because I could picture myself walking with my friend from camp. I’d be hearing the sound of people saying, “Congratulations!” ringing in my ears. I wouldn’t notice it though because I’d heard it so much. I had just realized my team got the ball and we scored. We had a 30 sec. break and everybody was saying, “Nice job Marlo! For the next week at camp, everybody that saw me and  knew my team had won would congratulate me. I felt proud.

The point of my story is that if you try anything that you don’t think you’re good in, you’ll succeed.

“When you were in lower school, what was soemthing that you were excited about for fifth grade? How do you feel about it now that you’ve done it?
What was something about fifth grade that you were a little nervous or worried about? How do you feel about it now?
What is something about which you are still a little nervous or worried? What might you do to feel a little less nervous or worried?
What is something that you haven’t done yet in middle school about which you are excited? Why are you excited about it?”

 

When I was in lower school I was exited about having chocolate milk at lunch. I don’t care now because the 7th and 8th graders always get to it first. Also, I haven’t been consuming chocolate currently. I was worried about the quizzes and tests, but they get harder as the year goes by. It doesn’t scare me any more because I know we’ve learned all the stuff before the quiz. It’s sort of like a review. I worried about the stuff getting really challenging. I’m exited about trying out for the school play/ being involved with it. I’m exited because I like acting.
