Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

Well thanks to Ms. Nadel i am in this club called FEA [Future Educators of America]. Ms. Concepcions our club leader recomended the book Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. This book is very interesting even though i am still in chapter three. Its is very shoking of what happens to a girl. This book is about a girl that is telling her story from heaven of how her neighbor raped and murdered her. It is very harsh book because of the details, but after all the book is just telling story.

This book is conveying a message to be careful with the people you trust because you never know who would stab you in the back. And like how Ms. Nadel says "Trust can take years to build up, but seconds to shatter".

So as a classmate, student, or friend i recomend for others to read this book and join the journey of this inocent victim.

Looking Ahead: Resolution 2009
As we all know the moment we've been all expecting is here. It is time for change. My resolution for 2009 is:
  1. Finish water polo. This year i want to join the Water Polo team in my school and my resolution is to finish it. I say this because many things that i start, i don't finish it. First, i am going to join water polo and even if i think its to hard i am going to continue the sport so that i can finish it.
  2. Loose weight. Well of course i gained weight over Winter break because of the holiday foods. I have a goal to weigh in so i am going to try my best. First, by joining water polo i am going to do a lot of exercise[which i loose weight]. But instead just doing that when i get home i am going to do an hour more of exercise and eat healthy.
  3. Get an A in English. Well English i a very challenging class for me. I got in the first grading period a C by 1 point i could have gotten an A which really sucks. So i am going to force myself to get and A to make myself proud. First i am going to study a lot. Then, i am going to be on top of all the work making sure i do the best i can. Also, whenever i have a concern or something i would let the teacher know.
  4. Balance my grades in school with sports. The first grading period i was in Swimming, which is a very interesting sport. But it was really hard to balance my grades with the sport. You really have to be committed to do this. But now that i have experience with swimming, Water Polo is going to be easy and i am going to know how to balance my grades to get good grades.
  5. Get straight A's in a marking period. I have never gotten a C in my report card, so this year it really hit me when i saw that C. The rest of my classes i have A's so i am going to change that C into an A so that i can get straight A's. I am going to be on top of my grades and i am not going to let it slip.
  6. Get Principle Honor Roll. I am a really great student and i really want to get Principle Honor Roll. First, i have to be on top of my grades. Then, make sure that i get all A's so that i can get the Principle Honor Roll.

Looking Back: Soundtrack of 2008



  • The soundtrack for my 2008 would be the music on top. Vitamin C [Graduation], Avril Lavigne [When Your Gone], Pink [Family Portrait], and Carter Burwell [Bella's Lullaby].
  • The song Graduation by Vitamin C fits in my 2008 year because i finally left middle school and began my journey to the unknown. I went to M.A.Milam K-8 Center from kindergarten through eighth grade and i was finally ready to go to the next chapter in my life. The song quotes "But when we leave this year we won't be coming back, No more hanging out cause we're on a different track, And if you got something that you need to say, You better say it right now cause you don't have another day, Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down..." this also relates to me because i have been with the same friends since kindergarten and we were moving on to different schools so we wernt going to be together. This song gives me happy and sad feelings because i am finally moving on but leaving my friends behind.
  • The song When Your Gone by Avril Lavigne also fits in my 2008 year because my grandfather had past away 3 years ago but this year i felt even more lonely because his birthday was coming up and i had nobody there to comfort me. In the song Avril sang "When you're gone, The pieces of my heart are missing you, When you're gone, The face I came to know is missing too, When you're gone, The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok, I miss you...". This really touched me because i do miss him alot and i wish he was here with me especially now to get through this rough patch. He always comforted me and now i have nobody to do that for me and this song explains my exact feelings of missing him.
  • Also, the song Family Portrait by Pink really affected me. The song quotes "You fight about money, bout me and my brother ; And this I come home to, this is my shelter; It ain't easy growin up in World War III ; Never knowin what love could be, you'll see ; I don't want love to destroy me like it has done ; my famil..." This year there had alot of conflicts between my mother and step-father. Bu this year it went to the limit were my brother had to get involved physically to protect my mother. He threw out my brother and I. So now my brother and i live basically by ourselves with no mother in our sisters house. This year has been really rough because it is not easy seeing you loved one in a problem and leave them. I miss my mother alot but i have to adapt living inder my brothers custody. This relates to the song because i felt like i was growing up in World War3 when my mother and step-father would fight over me and my brother.
  • Finally, the last song that i can relate to is Bella's Lullaby. This is because it all is smooth and then it comes to reality. This song realtes because i am dreaming of how much i wish my life could be smooth but it come to reality when wakee up from this beautiful dream to my rough life which makes the beautiful song come to an end
