The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens - Paradigms and Principles (Summary)

          What is a paradigm?             A paradigm is the way YOU see something. It your point of view. Sometimes paradigms can create limitations in your life. Here is an example of a paradigm.                                       "It's no use. My stepdad and I will never get along. We're just too different."               This girl thinks that she will never get along with her stepdad. If that is her paradigm, it's likely for her that she will never get along with her stepdad.                  Paradigms are really similar to glasses. It's like wearing glasses with the wrong prescription. If you think you're dumb, that belief will make you dumb.            ...

My Favorite Movie- "Matilda- The Musical"

       “You can’t do that! That is unfair!” Matilda screamed at Mrs. Trunchbull, the headmistress of a school.  “Matilda-The Musical” is about how one kid can change the community because she was brave and upstanding.  Matilda was born in a family where her parents wanted a boy, but Matilda was a girl. So her parents would treat her like she was nothing. They would pretend she didn’t exist. And because Matilda’s parents hated her so much, they sent her to a school where the headmistress, Mrs. Trunchbull, would bully the kids everyday. She would make them spell out hard words, and if anyone gets it wrong, they go through a tiny door that leads to a place that you’ll never find your way out. But one student got it wrong, and everyone else started protesting. But Mrs. Trunchbull pulled a string and opened many tiny doors. That got everyone to quiet down.  Under this harsh environment, Matilda led the others to victory. They would stand up to Mrs. Trunchbu...

Your parents announced that your family was moving across the country...

  "Ange! Come downstairs! I have some big news!" my dad said as I was upstairs in my room playing Roblox. "What?" I shouted back. "I am playing Roblox!" My dad just said, "Just come downstairs and you'll know!" So I had no choice but to close Roblox, go downstairs, and hear what the "big news" is. When I got to where my dad was, he looked very excited and I wasn't surprised. My dad said, "Guess what?" I said with no excitement at all, "What?" My dad said, "WE ARE MOVING TO NEW YORK!!!!" I said, "What?! I have to leave this house and all my friends behind and move to some dumb place?!" Though I knew that was a lie, I did really want to move to New York, its always been where I wanted to live, but now, I don't really think I want to. My dad said, "You'll love it there! Trust me, you won't regret it." I said, "Dad, thats not the point! The point is that I have to le...

The Unexpected Mystery

At 2:00am in the morning, my detective alarm went off. I was sleepy, and I wasn't able to figure out what mystery it would be. My friend, Anna, was sitting up sleepily and asked me, "Was that the detective alarm?" "Yes, we better change our clothes and set off." I said. "Fine." said Anna dreadfully . We changed out of our PJ's and changed on our detective suits. I checked my detective phone, and told my friend, "My detective phone tells me that a girl is missing, she has blond hair, blue eyes, age 25, and her name is Bella." I said. "A girl is missing at 2:00 AM?" asked my friend. "Yep. And it looks likes we have to wander off into the woods" I said. "What??!!" cried Anna. "Shh, it's 2:00 in the morning!" I whisper shouted. "Oops." said Anna. "It's fine." I said. We wandered off into the woods and started looking. We turned on our flashlights, and I looked on my compass t...

And she is way better than me, she got 2nd place in sight reading! And mines, well... I practiced for months. 😅 I was also happy for my friend! (Well obviously)  (Sorry, but this is very short)

The Nightmare of the Baby Octopuses

  One night, Emily's family was eating hotpot. When they were buying food, Emily wanted to try the baby octopus. Emily's parents was not sure about that Emily would be brave enough to eat that. Mostly because she was only 5. But, to make Emily happy, her parents bought the baby octopus. But, they didn't know that something bad was about to happen with the baby octopuses. When Emily's family got home, they started preparing for dinner. They put the baby octopuses in a bowl. Emily stared at the baby octopuses. When they started eating, Emily declared that she is going to put in the first octopus. Emily chose a big one for her to eat. When she put it in the pot, it turned upside down. Emily laughed. Then her parents said that it was ready. So Emily used a spoon to get it out. When she was chewing, the nightmare began. Emily was chewing, it was VERY chewy. Then, she noticed that the octopus grew bigger and bigger. When it was big enough to eat Emily, it stopped growing. Emi...

Annabelle

One scary dark night, two kids, a brother and an sister, named, Jack, and Mary. They were about to go to bed, when they heard an primal scream. They thought that the scream was just their mother, that saw a spider, but they were wrong. When they fell asleep, they both had the same dream. They dreamed that there were a doll on the chair in the living room, and in their dream, they heard the exact same primal scream. They woke up in the middle of the night, and went out into the living room, and they saw the same doll in their living room chair.  There was a note in the dolls arm that said, “Play with me.” And blood scattered on the note. When they looked up at the doll, they both thought that the doll had an nasty smile. But Jack and Mary both ignored the note, so they went to sleep again.  Again, they had a dream about the doll. This time, the note said, “Go to your backyard, I have a surprise for you!” Jack and Mary woke up once again, and did exactly what the note said. They...
