Argument

I was once talking to my mom when we suddenly in a bad arugement. We were arguing about me getting bad grades and I was saying they were fine. But she said I should be grounded. We eventually walked out of it after a couple weeks of grounding. So it all worked out but it still was pretty bad. I was still in elementary school when this happened so I do not get very bad grades anymore but it still happened. I still feel very bad about the subject though.

Nice thing

Something nice I did over winter break was shoveled a friends lawn. I did this because I wanted to help my moms friend. My mom gave me the offer so I did it so at least I felt good because of generousity. I did not regret this decision in any way because I felt better for doing it and because I knew it helped someone else. The whole thing took me around a half hour. Afterward I came home feeling accomplished and full of energy. Sadly it was kind of cold out so there was that but it was completely worth it.

Spud

This book that I have read is called "spud". Spud is a good book about a kid in middle school going to a boarding school. But the main story is not all about getting used to a new school. It is more focused around his friends (the crazy eight) and a couple girls. In this story he has some bullying in the crazy eight. Because of his late pubescent body. The crazy eight consisted of the main character spud, gecko, Vern, Rambo, fatty, mad dog, Boggo and Simon. Note that all of these are nicknames. I would recommend this book to people who want a non fiction book with some inappropriate parts in it and many teenage problems. I really did enjoy this book in general from all of its parts to make it great in many ways.

the gift

A very special gift that I have once received was my second bike. This was special to me because my first bike was a kids bike with training wheels and after I learned how to ride it was a big moment. The way I got it was as well special because it was a tiny box and when I opened it there was my moms keys (the car I drove in). I opened her trunk like she said and there was my dads truck keys. I opened the trunk nad there it was in all of it's glory. This was also special to me because I have h.           ad it since I was around 6 years old and have only recently replaced from rust (I still have it). So I have had this bike for around 7 years. This bike was a green mongoose with pegs, no gears, and hand brakes (which was all very new). So for all of these reasons this why this gift meant a lot to me.

My name

My first name Stone. In this blog I will be talking about my last name. My last name originated from my great grandpa. He was Amish and for some of my grandpas life he was too. My grandpa was until he wanted to get a mustang is when he stopped. My grandpa ended up in ohio where my dad was born who married to my mom, moved to Illinios where I was born.

My favorite quote is "if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid" -Albert Einstein. You have probably heard of this quote from school because it is pretty popular. I have heard this many times and until I saw this video called "I just sued the school system" where it made me relate to it more. This quote is my favorite because it shows how judgmental comments can really affect people in way over something they might not care about, can't or try and just can't. This quote relates to me because I am not interested in sports but feel a little left out because other people are talking about sports and really good at it and at times I am a bit jealous. But one thing about me I feel it is just and more important to help others in worst or even better situations. Another way I interpret this quote is maybe it could be your opinion on a topic. If i had to pick a second it would have to be "the past is history, the future is a mystery, but right now is a gift, that is why we call it the present" -Bill Keane because is shows in time the only thing you can change for certain is the present and to do what you can with it for it will never go away. So all that is my favorite quote because of its affect on the way you look at someone's skill set.

Grateful

As thanksgiving is approaching it is right to tell what I am thankful for. I am grateful for many things.            Because I have things that others do. As does everybody even if they don't know it. One thing I am greatful for is the ability to have freedom. Another is to have food, a bed, and other things that are needed to survive. I am especially grateful for the privileges that some other people don't have. Such as a big house, devices, education, etc. With all of these gifts I believe it is not only important to be great full but humble as well. Which is also to not brag about anything I find especially precious in my life. I feel great fuel that I have some friends because with our them my life would much different and more bitter. So in conclusion I feel great ful for the things is need to survive, friends, things I find special, and things that most people do not own. As well as feeling humbled by these things.
