Forgiveness is important. Many people don’t think it is important to have forgiveness. If somebody apologizes to you and you forgive them you will feel happier. You will feel happier because then you will still have your friendship. If you don’t forgive, that person might just not like you anymore because they forgave you but you didn’t forgive them. Not being forgiving can also hurt you and the other people involved. You may not know it is hurting you but inside it is. Forgiveness is just another way of happiness. That is why forgiveness is important.

I think it is important to have honesty. Being honest is very good thing to be. There is a saying about honesty, “ honesty is the best policy”. Although you might not always want to be honest because maybe you got in trouble and then you might lie. One time I was given 2 falcon dollars by accident. Instead of keeping it I told the teacher she gave me an extra one. Since I was honest, in return she let me keep it. You would keep it if you weren’t honest but then you might feel guilty. Honesty sometimes even gets you better things in life. There was one man who saw that a blind man dropped $100 dollars so he let the man keep them because other people have told him he has dropped money before but the people who saw kept it.

I think setting goals is very important which is why for quarter one I set some goals for myself. I got about the same score for each of my tests. I didn’t go down though so that was a goal I accomplished.  I will make sure to set goals before next MAP test. I personally don’t like MAP tests because the wording of the questions. Most of the questions are easy but it is hard to figure out what they are exactly asking. Espically the things I haven’t learned yet. If I don’t know the answer I try to use different methods. I will either use process of elimination or make an educational guess. I use process of elimination most because I get more questions right that way. Overall I think I did well on MAP and I hope to do even better next MAP test.

I loved this years Thanksgiving, I had so much fun. For Thanksgiving I ate lots of different foods like turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, Hawaiian salad, and more! I ate 3 Thanksgiving dinners. One with my mom, one with my dad, and one with my aunt and cousins. They were all very fun, I got to even help make the food. My sister also got a new apartment on Thanksgiving so I hope to see it soon. My sister only got to spend a little while with us because she was going to a party. It was so fun and I think every Thanksgiving gets better and better each year in my family.

The most scariest thing that ever happened would be going to the 13 floor. 13 floor is a haunted house and it was so scary. I got jumpscared so many times. There were clowns and it was so dark. When we were in line there was a clown behind me that wouldn’t go away. It was funny because he scared my sister too. In the end I was still shaking and my throat was hurting so bad screaming. My brother wasnt as scared and only got scared about 5 times. Me and my sister got scared like 30-40 times. I would love to go back because every year is different and better.

My Superhero _______________________________________ Hi my name is Veronica Liz and I am 17 years old, the only child. I am Puerto Rican and Mexican. I currently live in Chicago, Illinois. Most people call me a superhero, just not when I’m being myself. I think I’m different when I save people. I feel strong and Fearless, something I never feel when not saving and helping the world. Saving people makes me very happy but not just and happy, a special happy. One that seems to make the world light up. I am scared of death. I belive people should die from natural causes. What frightens me the most when people die and I could’ve saved them. Although it is sad it motivates me to work harder. I deal with anger very well by just accepting things for what happens. I am very polite. Especially in school where I am a senior and about to graduate. Most people call me very smart. Hatred embarrasses me most. When somebody says something to me that is hurtful and mean I never know how to resp...
