Kenzie's Seventh Grade " Survival Guide"

      You are about to enter a big change from elementry to middle school. That calls for an extremely intense survival guide of wisdom, from a fellow higher classmate.

       First things first, dresscode doesn't really apply here.  You can where nike shorts everyday and have see thourgh shirts too!  Also we have this fun thing where you get to dye your hair pink for breast cancer awarness month too.

       Secondly, no need to stress over homework if you don't get something done you get the rest of the week to finish it.  Math is a breeze, we just review addition so it's perfectly fine with Mrs. Lidiak to fall asleep in class.  In fact she will not even give you a D-hall or the homework for that night!  

      Mrs. Motley is horrible!  She makes us do ten book reports a week so get ready to read a lot!  She hates greek mythology too, are personal favorite so she just skips it entirely!  She also hates Texas Tech so alway ask her about her favorite team the Texas Longhorns.

      For the girls worried about getting to athletics in time the coachs don't honestly care they allow you to braid your hair perfectly to put it up for as long as it take you and then do a simple exercise of a lap aronud the gym and war ball everyday!

      As for big state tests the teachers don't care what you make and don't mind if you fail.  They never say the old phrase, " Now this will be on the STARR test so pay attention".  The test don't matter in middle school and you will pass the grade anyway.

      Mr. Mein is very strict!  He doesn't tolorate any talking or working with friends.  He also never takes in to consideration of kids useing electronics to fo work either.  He make you write all your essays on notebook paper so you better stalk up or except your failure.  Also, he always keeps you after class wether your class was good that day or not.  Sometimes up to six minutes!

        For Mrs. Pope, she doesn't get that into what she is teaching she basically gives you a book and a packet and tells you work.  She never stands in front of the classroom giving her life stories as examples like a normal teacher. Most of us dislike her and wish we had a different science teacher.

       So all in all, seventh grade is a breeze with no amount of work involved. So, sit back relax and enjoy the pure harmony of seventh grade!

     I have a wonderful person in my life!  This person is my brother, Zach Foust.  He is an amazing brother and I would not trade him for the world.  He has taught me many important things and I look up to him more than anyone else.

      One thing my brother has done is make me realize how important school is.  He has steered me in a direction of loving school and being greatful for the education I am provided.  He has always told me it is good to do projects early so you can relax while other kids our struggleling to finish the night before it is due.  Of course, everyone makes mistakes and my brother tells me it is okay, just pick yourself up, dust off and try again.  I have had to keep that in my mind so I didn't destroy myself.

     He also taught me good character traits.  He told me since I was little thats it's honesty over yourself.  He also has said look at yourself in the mirror and say this is who I am no one else can be exactly me and I am proud of that! 

     My brother is a true inspiration, and because of him I am a stronger person.  I love him with all my life and nothing could ever change that. Heres to an inspirational brother!

Mirror,Mirror

    Everyone has thing they want to change about there body.  Mine is my weight, mostly because I am not as in shape as I would like to be.  

     Every time I look in the mirror I see someone formed by junk and not what is good for me.  It makes me upset because I am suppoused love myself for who I am.  

     This summer I have a major plan to live on only whole foods and go outside three hours every day.  I feel with this plan I will acheive my goal to get in shape like most the girls at my school.  One way I will keep myself away from junk food is not go into the sections of packaged sugary snacks.  Those snacks are the main reason our nation is becoming one of the most unhealthy country in the world.  I believe now that the best  way for America to solve this problem is to eliminate acess to foods that aren't whole foods.  

    Also I hate my weight because there is so much pressure put on being skinny and fit.  Our concept of being overweight and underweight in completely messed up we need to realize being a stick is not good and having to wear. extra-extra large is not healthy.  Though if you have a little meat on you, you are not fat!  You might want to consult a doctor to see what is acually healthy for your height and age.  If you don't you might do to extreme of a change and ruin your body even more.

      I only get one body so if I refuse to give it everything I can to help it than I may as well get used to being an unhealty slob.  This is something I can change but it will need to be over a period of time not by an eating disorder.  I must keep my body healthy by working out the right ways and eating right for my height and age.  These combined will help me with the physical thing I would like to change about myself.  I like being active it is just my motivation is not as wonderful as it should be, I always say I am going to run a mile everyother day but what usually happens is I run one and then give up!  It is my comentment to get my body in shape so I can look in the mirror and be completely confident without one self esteem issue ever again!  This will help me acheive more in school instead of constantly wondering if I am as good looking as the other kids.  

     "  Mirror, mirror on the wall you has the need of being in shape?"

The Sarcastic Penguin

      There was once a very sarcastic penguin, no one knew why but he was the worst out of all penguins.  Anytime anyone did somthing remotley stupid he would he would have to crack a terrible sarcastic joke!

        When the penguin was born his family was going through a troubling time which made his parents break apart.  Outsiders believe this why he always made these sarcastic jokes, just so others might get hurt as he did by not understanding why things happen.

        One time the penguin went overboard though.  His friend said, " I am dieing..." But before he could finish the sarcastic penguin acted like he was overreacting over a long run as his friend ran away screaming, " I am dieing of cancer, I have two months left!" 

         On the penguins birthday he got a prestent he didn't really like, but he said thank you anyway but in a horribly sarcastic way.  The other penguin who gave him the present was descusted!  He replied to the comment," You could at least be greatful I came and brought you something!" The sarcastic penguin shurgged it off and went on the his normal sarcastic penguin ways.

        The next day, the sarcastic penguin was granted the wonderful opportunity of going on a penguin field trip!  He went but was constantly staring of into space not caring about anything.  The teacher finally pulled him aside and told him," You better be glad we allowed you to come instead od staying back and doing school work all day!"  The sarcastic penguin replied," Fine I will stay attentive when they make pigs fly."  The teacher grabbed him by the flipper and tightly strapped him in the ice bus! She said," Listen mister here in igloo world we are kind and considerate not sarcastic about someones joy of informing childern on the wonders of whale characteristics!"

         When the sarcastic penguin got home his parent asked how the trip went and he replied,"Gree-at!", in a sarcastic tone of voice completely not allowed in the presance of his parents!  His dad sent him straight to his igloo and grounded him from ever being sarcastic again.

        The following week the sarcastic penguin tried not to be sarcastic in a rude way, and for the first time in forever a fellow penguin of his age came up to chirp.  The sarcastic penguin was finally realizing it was worth being sarcastically rude because people took it to seriously and, thats why he was unable to make any friends.  The normally called sarcastic  penguin was thurbed into a well liked penguin everyone hung out with and the whole penguin town was now at peace with the not so ordinary penguin.

Make Something Awesome

      I have made something amazing!  It is an guiness way to keep your charging electronics cords from tangling.  You can make this pretty simply too! 

       You will need the following an old shoe box, some scrapbook paper, a knife, ribbon, and metal circles to clean up some edges.

      Line and decorate a shoe box with scrapbook paper and the ribbon.  Then, make holes for each charger you will be useing this with, label and put metal to smooth edges.

     I got inspired to do this because having messy wires can get annoying so I wanted to make a solution.

      Here is what the finished product should look like:

          

Fitness is Life!

       Our bodies are what make us who we are. So staying fit is an amazing way to take care of it and thank it.

        When you excercise your body can use up some of those un-needed calories from that chocalate bunny you had on easter.  This allows the body to focus on the good stuff, like keeping your lungs and other muscules working.  

       Staying fit makes you feel better too! If you are stressed take a slow jog around your neighborhood to get rid of the stuff pulling you down.  You can run really fast if you are exhausted because you will be to tired to think about what made ypu mad in the first.  

       These things are what makes staying fit important.  Simply it will keep the mind and body in check for whatever comes at it.  Stay fit , stay happy!

My Ingredients

      We all have ups and downs in life.  One good way to look at this is to think of them as ingredients.  Mutiple things that taste good and bad alone, but when put togther makes something good such a cake.  I started to ponder, what are my ingredients? These are the results.

       My first ingredient is a happy family.  This is something that is good, such as sugar for a cake it is good alone but better with more.  I feel that without a family I don't know what I would do.  They help me feel comfortable so I can make hard decisions easier.

      My second ingredient is knowing the importance honesty.  Honesty is another good ingredient in my life.  I can walk around with a good consiouns, instead of a bad one.  

       One of my bad things on it's own is that I don't have any grandparents that I can count on for storys for family history searchs.  This would be like the raw eggs for an cake, bad on there own but put together with good things and it is not that bad.

          My last two things are, shelter and food.  These are the icing on the cake!  These two things are valuable to life and I am greatful to have them.

         Those are some parts of my life that when put together don't make life that bad after all. So, think about it the longer you dwell on the one bad thing you can't see the light of life.   

My Favorite Person

     I have lots of people in my life that i care for and love.  Though I love hanging out with my favorite friend in the world, Joanna Reagan!  

      She is one of the greatest people in this school, but some people just don't realize it.  She has been my best friend since kindergarten, and we always talk!   We have even told each other things we haven't told anybody else!  

        I think her personality is amazing and I wouldn't change her in any way.  With her she always comes last because she cares so much about others, but again she still takes care of herself too.  She has the best sense of humor out of everyone I have made conversation with too.  I also like how she seems shy until you get to know her.  One minute she we be the quitest person in class and next she can't stop laughing and cracking jokes with her true friends. ( May I add those people include me. ) She also has a good personality because she always will make herself seem or be happy even when she is not that happy.  Though she will make it to where only her true friends can see she is sad so she does not feel akward when she is being comforted.

        My other reason she is one of my favorite people is she is just plain fun to be around!  Like one time I went to her house and we were riding are bikes around and her pedal broke off!  Both of us were cracking up and I walked my bike around to so she wasn't sad, and in about three minutes of us walking she breaks out in jail harmonica music which make us look hilarious walking with our bikes just cracking up uncontrollibly. In turn making us look like complete idiots!

        Another quality Joanna has is integrity.  She is very honest, and even if she has to lie to keep herself safe she will tell me how bad she feels about it.  With Joanna I have no doubt what ever she tells me is completely and utterly true.

        Joanna also knows how to have fun without going insane.  Which is something I definatly think is important.  When we hang out we don't commit crimes we simply still play harmless games of truth or dare or we play on her trampoline!  She is really amazing for this which is a simple yet effective way she has made herself my favorite friend.

     Finally, she loves animals! She definatly loves her cats the most though and it works out because i love all types of animals, so we just hangout with her animals sometimes.

         Over all, she is the best friend anyone could ever ask for! She has lots of amazing qualities that most people in my genaration unfortually don't have.  That is why she is my favorite friend.

       

Blog Challange ( New App)

      There are a ton of apps that could potentialnilly be the next flappy bird craze.  Though I have found one that I think will catch on fast.  It is called Snake, you move a little worm to a dot and when it attaches there is a longer worm and it will keep growing.  The object of it is to get the worm to the most dots possible without running into itself or the bordering square.

  The Break Up:

I am Unique:My Talent

      There are many ways people are unique.  I like to believe everyone has something that make them unique.  Wether it be a talent or something medical.

        I have a unique talent of hula-hooping for twenty minutes straight!  My parents kind of started me on this because when I was six they got me a hula-hoop.  I was very bad at first but I kept trying.  

          Then after a few weeks of trial and air I was able to do it for twenty minutes straight!  I was so happy and I still can do it to this day!

       I am twelve now and I find new ways to hula hoop a lot.  Whether it be on my arm or neck instead of my waist. Or by simply trying to walk and hula hoop at the same time!  ( Which is something I need to practice a bit more on but it is still fun. ). I also have learned that it is fun hula hooping, and it is a very fun uniqueness to have.

       I have become very uniquelly talented at hula hooping on my knees too!  I have tryed for quite awhile and I have finally acheived my goal of doing this and it makes me feel really unique.

        There are many things that make us unique, so what is yours?  Mine is a simple talant but it makes me special in my own way.  Knowing I can do something that makes me unique can also brighten my day a little bit.

Background Information :

      I started to like hula hooping in elementry school because we would play with them in physical education classes.  My friends and I would also time each other to see who could go the longest without the hula hoop falling off of our waists.  This is what made me start timeing because I wanted to win our little hula hooping competions at school!

       Hula hooping had become quite the rage to all of the grades would brag about how many hula hoops they could do at once, but with me being the tiny little thing I could only do one opposed to the seven one of my friends could do!

Brains V.S. Beauty

      There are always fights about wether it matters if you are beuatiful or smart.  What do think is more important?  I think that brains are better then having high quality make-up!

      Some reasons why I think being smart is better is because brains will get you farther than looks.  Sure I may be seen as the class nerd but at least they will call me their boss when we are older.

       Also what is the big deal with make-up anyway?  I mean it just makes you look like a fake doll!  In my opinion make-up just makes you look worse!  Who needs so much make-up that they look completely unrealistic?  The only thing of make-up I usally wear is lipgloss, and I look perfectly fine.

         Also if you are worried about having good looks you don't focus on getting good quality learning time in.  Instead you know how to put eyeliner on instead of the dates for a Social Studies test!

       In conclusion, the brains win!  Forget being beautiful when you can simply be smart!  Knowledge is beauty and don't let anyone tell you something different!

My Footprints in The Sand

        I want to make this world a better place, no matter how hard it is.  I want to make it  where people look back on me for helping people cope with hard times.

         When I am dead I want to be able to have people say I was wonderful.

My New Years Resoulutions

            The new year brings lots of new opportunities and chances to change who you are.  It is the perfect time to set new goals or achievements to reach.  I like to make a main big goal and a smaller goal in case I am not able to get to the big goal.  

          This year, for my big goal I have decided to try and make the top of the ladder in tennis.  It is a very big deal in tennis and I would love to have that honor.  I have to work really hard for this though, which is why i have chosen to do this throughout the new year.
              For my smaller goal this year I have choose, to stay focused on my problems and fix them without others help, in less absolutely necessary.  One thing I am bad about is throwing out the bad things and not fixing them as I should.  I need to realize that if I focus I will not fall behind others.  

          In conclusion my new year is full of work!  Though I love life so, why not make it even better.  These were my new years goals.  Have you made any yet?  Well you should so, you will have accomplished something this year.
