She didn't have a set group of friends, she kept to herself because she didn't think she fit in with any other groups but she had good friendship with a boy named Cas that she secretly had a crush on for years. One day her awkward cousin Foster was moving into her house to live with her family because of his mothers mental issues. Devon wasn't too thrilled about him moving in but she knew it wasn't going to be for long so she tried her best to be understanding. Foster got enrolled to go to school with Devon, he was a freshman.

Liz Erickson Ms. Strmac English 4 28 April 2018 When I was younger around the age of 13 I played travel softball. My team had won district league so that meant we were off to syracuse to play in the state championship. I was so excited, my team booked a hotel and we were off to syracuse. I was having so much fun exploring the area with my teammates and my family. On the first day of our tournament we had to get up early to play our first game, our team stopped at subway to get some sandwiches so we had a good breakfast before we played. I got a sub with mayonnaise, cheese, lettuce and ham with two cookies on the side for later. I started eating my sandwich but I got too full so I saved half of it to eat later. I left my sandwich in the backseat of my dads car. It was extremely hot outside it went up to 93 degrees! When we finished with our games we drove back to the hotel, I took my sandwich and cookies and put it in the refrigerator to have for whenever i was hungry. Later th...

Liz Erickson Ms. Strmac English 4 26 April 2018 If i could live anywhere in the world I would want to live in the Bermuda triangle. I would want to live in the Bermuda triangle because it is located in the middle of oceans with no cell towers which means no connection to the internet. I personally feel like it would be much nicer to live somewhere that I could focus on just myself and not have to deal with worrying about other people. I rather live a life that no one knows about and people aren’t worried about what my every move is. I think that being isolated from people that i know would be good for me, it would give me an opportunity to meet new people, explore not only the area but myself and other people on different level. Not being able to check the internet would help me learn to not worry about what other people are doing and give me the push to not care about the actions of others.

Liz Erickson Ms. Strmac English 4 27 April After looking at my grades for this semester my grades are decent but not where i want them to be. I was very happy with my grades last semester and was hoping to improve in the places where I knew I could do better. Last quarter I had all A’s and now I have three A’s and one C. Even though I have A’s in my classes I know that they could be higher than what they are now. The classes where I had high grades last quarter have dropped this quarter and my lower grades last quarter are higher this quarter. I feel like I slacked off a lot because school is almost over and I kind of gave up. I need to push myself to finish of the year with good strong grades. In order for me to do dual enrollment I need to keep my grades high so my GPA does not drop. I could study more and try my best to stay as focused as possible so my grades are where I need them to be.

Liz Erickson Ms.Strmac English 4 27 April 2018 After I graduate high school I am looking forward to many things. Being done with high school is a big accomplishment, not only passing all my classes but also leaving all the negative people in my life would be something i am looking forward too. After I graduate I plan to go to college and get an apartment with a few of my friends. I really hope to get into a good college and I plan to become a therapist. While attending college I look forward to meeting new people and just exploring the new area where I will be living and going to school. I want to use my college experience to learn more about myself and figure out what i am going to do in the future. After high school I want to feel what it likes to live in the real world on my own as a adult. I will miss my parents but i am happy that i will finally be able to feel what it's like to have a sense of freedom, handle things on my own and make big decisions on my own.
