SSR

one class i had planned to make it on the honor role was statistics. since i first found out i had a statistics class, i honestly thought it would be easy and at first it was.  i was doing extremely well until i took the final and got an 68%. this caused my average to drop from a 93% to an 83%. this drop cost me my spot on the honor role. i told myself next marking period i would make it on the honor role.

Favorite book

One of my all time favorite books is Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. I have actually read this book not once, not twice but three times. My friend inspired me to read this book. She told me she related alot of the things happening in the book to her own life. So i gave it a try and im glad i did. The book is about a girl named Melinda Sordino.after she called the cops on a party, she lost all her friends. But nobody knew it was because she had gotten raped. Throughout the book melinda starts to isolate herself more. She finds a room in the school where she goes to get away from everything. To make things worst,  her rapist is dating her ex-bestfriend. This and many more reasons causes her to stop speaking. This book has many lessons to teach its reader's such as "holding all your feelings inside can cause you to blow up" and "its okay to let people in sometimes ".
