My Time at Back Bay

I will be honest here, when my parents first told me that I would be transferring from my original school to Back Bay High School because I was in danger of failing I was lets just say less then thrilled. I was absolutely dreading coming to this at the time seemingly unattractive, intimidating, and very small school. Now thought that image is completely changed for my and I am very happy to say that I would love to never have to leave this amazing school. I think the thing that most turned this place around for me is the amazing staff they have and they awesome friends I made during my time here.

Since I am already on the subject of amazingly epic teachers I feel that it is only appropriate to discuss the one teacher who inspired me the most while I have been attending this school. I can honestly say that without this amazing woman I would not be graduating in two days and that awesome person would be Ms. Christopher. This woman pushed me so hard to achieve my goals that sometimes I wanted to strangle her I was so frustrated with her, but I can honestly say that all of her pushing was well worth it.

The part that I feel I am definitely going to miss the most about this school though is probably going to be all of the great friends I made while here. When I came I was expecting this school to be really weird and the people here as well. I was pleasantly surprised to realize that a lot of the people attending this school were very similar to me. I made a lot of great friends that I hope to keep in touch with for many years to come. I am even willing to go out on a limb and say that I made friends that will last a lifetime.

My least favorite thing about Back Bay would probably be having to leave it. If I had the choice and the option was up to me I probably would never leave. I love this school more than any other school I have ever been to and that is sating a lot because I have been to a ton of schools. This school is special to me and will always have a great place in my heart.

My Summer 2011

My plans for this summer are pretty generic. I plan on hanging out with my friends as much as possible, going to the fair basically every day it's here, taking a crazy road trip to either Mexico or Las Vegas, and of course my most ultimate goal is to go the beach at least once a week all summer. I guess none of this really seems that important when I have the rest of my life to plan out now but hey I guess you can say I'm living day to day and mostly flying by the seat of my pants this summer (well at least after all the important stuff is taken care of).

My main ultimate goal this summer is to go to the beach at least one day every week this summer and at the very bare minimum go once every two weeks. I have always loved water more than most things. Sometimes I think that I am a mermaid the way that the ocean calls to me, beckoning me to come join it if only for a moment. I haven't gone as much as I would have liked to over my lifetime so I hope to make up all that time this summer.

My second goal is to possibly go on an epic and amazing road trip to either Mexico or Vegas. I would really enjoy going to Mexico because I have family that lives there that I haven't seen in a super long time. I would really love reconnecting with that side of my family and letting get to know me all over again. My other options aren't based on family but plain and simple good times. I have always wanted to just go on a crazy road trip to Vegas ever since I was younger so what better time than the present to finally achieve the goal.

My last goal would be to go to the Orange County Fair. My family and I have always loved attending the fair every year and it has kind of become a sort of unspoken tradition between us. Whether you are a connoisseur of crazy foods or you just love to go on rides and attend different events the fair has a little bit of something for everyone. I feel that it is a major part of my childhood that I will never forget. I plan on continuing this tradition as long as the fair is around and open for business.

I don't know if my summer will turn out exactly how I want it to or not, but all I do know is that I am planning on making the most of this summer. I hope to make this summer one that I will hopefully remember for many years to come.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief

In the movie Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief Logan Lerman who played Percy Jackson the son of Poseidon gave an outstanding performance.

In this movie his acting was so incredible that it blew me away. Other actors include Brandon T. Jackson who played the role of Grover the Satyr.

In the movie Grover played the role of Percy's protector. He had to swear an oath to protect Percy no matter what happened, even if it meant risking his own life in the process. Another all star actor in this move is Alexandra Daddario who played Annabeth daughter of Athena.

Annabeth is a crazy good fight who goes on this crazy journey with Grover and Percy in order to save his mother from Hades and return the lightning bolt to Zeus before the gods break out into a war that could destroy the entire world. I love this movie and the crazy journey it takes you on. It makes you really feel that the fate of the world is on your hands and that you must do everything in your power to save it. This movie uses so many good details and such amazing character analyzations that you really start to feel connected to the characters and don't want anything bad to happen to them. I feel it had a well told story line that wasn't to complicated to follow but also was so simple that I got bored with it after ten minutes. This is a movie that I would recommend to someone of any age as a thrilling story about mythology, destiny and of course truth and doing what is best.
