Hey guys! Again, I haven't posted in a while, I keep forgetting to while I'm on the computer. I really need to get better about that.
Anyway, I'm officially a sophomore, I finished my freshman year with straight A's all the way across the card. Oh yes, even in Algebra! (99 baby!) A lot of people ask me a lot of different questions concerning that and other things, so before I get to the books I'm going to suggest, I'm going to answer them for you. Maybe you'll find my answers helpful!
Q: How do you get straight A's when the rest of us are struggling to even get a B?
A: Honestly, I don't know. I don't really think of myself as a smart person. All I have to do is listen or read the material and I'll be good to go. I'm a quick learner and I apply myself.
Q: Why are you so dedicated to making sure you have such exceptional grades?
A: I have a lot of reasons. For one, I hate to disappoint anyone, including myself. I know what I am capable of, therefore I will strive and push myself to be the absolute best that I can be. I also strive to keep good grades because I really wouldn't want to disappoint my parents. I want them to have a daughter they can be proud to call their own, not one flunking out of her classes or just barely making it. And my last reason is because I want to go somewhere with my life. High school is the last chapter of your childhood life. From there, you become an adult. I want to be able to further my education and get into a good college and hopefully get a few scholarships in the meantime. I want to be able to go somewhere with my life, so I push myself to achieve the very best that I can.
Q: Why do you try so hard?
A: I want to be the best that I can be.
Q: What do you want to do with your life that needs you to put so much work in?
A: I don't know what I want to do with my life yet. I'm still trying to figure that out. Right now, I have a few ideas, but nothing set in stone. I know that I would love to become a published author and it is my goal to do that by the time that I finish high school. I would also like to do something that involves teaching music. My idea, though it sounds crazy, is to become a band director for deaf children. I think that would be the coolest thing in the world. Music should be enjoyed by everyone and I want to be the one putting it in other people's lives.
That's all of the questions for now. (Though if anyone ever has any more questions for me, feel free to leave a comment and I'll try to answer them!) Now to get to the reading. I signed up for honors English II and the book that we are required to read is called "Alive." I haven't read it all yet, but it's about a plane crash in the Andes mountains. What kind of books are on your summer reading list for school?
I can tell you what can be on your non-school related reading list. The Maze Runner trilogy by James Dashner. You may have already read it, but they are amazing books. It has a dystopian theme. A sickness called The Flare is diseasing people. The Flare messes with your head and makes you go crazy, taking its sweet time to kill you. The Flare happened sometime after the Sun flares wiped out most of the earth, leaving only a few people behind. Among these people are scientists who are trying to find a cure for this Flare by doing experiments. This involves the Maze. And that, my friends, is all I am going to tell you. It is an amazing trilogy and the prequel was amazing too. Just don't hope for completely happy endings, because that is something that doesn't happen too often in these books. Happy reading and let me know what you thought of the Maze Runner trilogy!
Have a great summer!
Amber
