Robert took a valuable item that belonged to the Mayans. Robert discovered the reclusive group hours before stumbling upon the camera they found stored away. After running for quite a while, Robert sought safety from some of its furious members by climbing a the top of a pile of rocks. A translator told Robert they would fire arrows unless the camera was returned. In a tremulous voice, Robert said, “No!, I am leaving now!!” When he turned around, he sees they have left only to unleash harmful ladybugs. Help arrived in minutes and this memory will definitely haunt Robert forever.

A song that would best describe me would have to be “Something Just like This” by The Chainsmokers. This song also has a certain meaning to me as well. I have numerous songs that can describe me but “Something Just like This” would have to describe me best.

The line, ” Where’d you wanna go? How much you wanna risk?” can describe me because I am frequently being asked, ” Where do you want to be in life or where do you wanna go? I’d risk anything to be where I want to be in my professional career.

Another line that I can relate to is, ” I want something just like this!” I see how amazing my friends are at helping each other so much. I would like to help out my other friends. In order to do that, I must help myself first.

Dear future 8th graders ,

Your 8th-grade year can be fun, complicated, and tiring. Your 8th-grade year is also your last year in middle school. In 8th grade you will be given fun, challenging, and academic assignments.

1)  Debates.  In 8th grade, Mrs. Hildebrand will most likely assign a topic to debate about. She divides the class into teams. The teams are also divided by who presents what. The debates are fun but challenging.

2)  Changemaker Presentations.  Throughout the year, Mrs. Hildebrand will give you a topic to present in class. Those topics can range from goals to improving a habit and goal for 2018-2019. There’s a total of at least 6 slides. This project can be in groups or by yourself.

3)  Fashion Show.  The fashion show allows not only creative minds but collaborative skills. This project is fun but is also challenging and academic. You would use descriptive writing as a part of this assignment. This gets the academic side of you to work. The colorful and decorative designs gets the creative side.

8th-grade has a lot in store for you next year. 8th grade can be challenging, fun, and academic if all your effort is put in it. Have a good year!

Sincerely, Jorge.
