Advice for Twelve Year Olds

        Dear 12 year olds, don't change for other people. I know it can seem hard not to get something that everyone else has but after a while that Kendra Scott necklace or that Swell Bottle will get old. Even if you do start to go with the crowd it will get tiresome trying to act the same just to get attention. Trust me on this one. The friends that laugh and make memories with you are the friends you will need later on and will stick with you.

        Another piece of advise, CARPE DIEM. Seize the day. I wake up and I think about those two important words everyday. Make the most of the present. Spending time worrying about future things like who will you go to a dance with or if you don't get invited somewhere. Make the most of what is going on right now. Sooner or later you will move off somewhere cool and might not get to experience school so just make the most of it.

    I love this post! I agree with both pieces of advice strongly, especially the carpe diem part. I like that you gave useful examples in your writing.

Human Nature

Humans are full of flaws. Humans aren't ever perfect. They make mistakes like being late or forgetting something. No one could possibly be perfect. Some people say "I'm human" and it literally means that humans make mistakes. Over time I learned this through experiences of my own and others around me. At school especially people make mistakes. For example, forgetting to do homework, being late to class, not studying, and getting a bad grade. Those are only some examples of flaws. But instead of thinking about all of those flaws, I'd rather think about all the good people can do.

Summer Trip

     One day my parents get a call from my aunt. She tells us she scored six tickets to a Justin Bieber concert in Dallas. It was on my sister’s birthday. My sister and I are freaking out because rappers called Migos were opening up for him. Everyday before the concert it was just crazy to think that i was going to get to see two really, really, really well known artists. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity that was very exciting.       A couple of days before we were going to the concert, I get a call from my cousin (the one who was taking us to the concert). I find out that Justin Bieber cancelled the concert. My reaction to that was being very sad and disappointed. I mean, I had learned almost all of Migos and JB’s songs. We were all mad. I was almost crying because I was really looking forward to seeing them perform. We still went to Houston and had a good time there. The day that we were supposed to go to the concert is when we ev...

Thanksgiving is definitely not my favorite holiday. I know that sounds bad, but let me explain. All of my mom's family comes to Baton Rouge and they all stay at my house. All of my cousins are near my age and they are nice, but they must have an obsession with messing up my room, because every time I walk in there, everything is moved around and then I have to go rearrange it. So many people in one house is very stressful enough. I really love the food because my mom lets me help her cook the small foods. It's the most fun part because my mom's mom and her sister and my cousins all like to help in the kitchen. What is annoying is that one of my aunts is obsessed with taking pictures so she makes us all stop what we are doing and smile like we love taking pictures... If I could change anything about Thanksgiving, I would do it with just my family and my friends' families and we would all stay at the beach.
