The photo on the left is a picture of me in the middle of sixth grade. And the one on the right? That’s what I look like now!
Honestly I think I look EXTREMELY different. I got braces, dyed my hair red, and I grew five inches this year!!
But my physical apperance isnt the only thing that has changed. My personality, happiness, and confidence level has definitely changed…. for the better too!!!
It really feels like I took that 6th grade photo ages ago! It’s kind of embarrassing to be honest.😂 But even though so much has changed this past year I will still always love pizza.

Hug O’ War

I will not play at tug o’ war.
I’d rather play at hug o’ war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.

–Shel Silverstein

I really like this poem because to me, it shows that there doesn’t have to be any fighting in the world. There can be a world where everyone does giggle, and everyone wins. You have the choice to be the person you are– the person that can change the world. So what are you going to play? Tug o’ war or hug o’ war?!

Everyone has their favorite childhood show. Most people’s would probably be Dora, Teletubbies, Blues Clues, or something along those lines. For me though,  my favorite childhood show was Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Clifford was one of my favorite shows as a younger kid! I used to pretend that Emily Elizabeth (Clifford’s owner) and I were best friends and we would play with Clifford and all the other dogs. I always remember singing along to the theme song when the show came on.

I remember having a Clifford and Emily Elizabeth book with a built in dialing pad on the side. You would “call” the different numbers written on each page for a different message. It was just them saying things like “you’re great,” and “Hi! I’m Emily Elizabeth!” and other sayings just like that. And I always seemed to get a kick out of it. I also had a big Clifford stuffed animal. I don’t remember it too well because I had it so young, but from what my mom told me, I absolutely loved that thing.

Even though I’m a little sad the show was ended, it will always be a big part of my childhood!

There are so many apps that are available today. Most of them are ok, but there are those special ones that I don’t think I could live without! They’re just downright amazing

Let’s take YouTube for instance. YouTube is the most helpful, fun app ever.  You can search up tutorials for how to make and build things. But thats not exactly why YouTube is my favorite app. It’s mainly for the Youtubers. Joey Graceffa, Shaytards, Miranda Sings, The Fine Bros and so many more that know how to brighten my day! 

Quizlet is my favorite school app. You can make your own “quizzes” that help you study for an actual quiz or test. I feel that if I didn’t use quizlet, I would do poorly on most of my bigger grades.

The next app is more of an addiction because I use it more than I should. In fact, I can’t live without it! It’s a way for me to talk with friends, like ootd (outfit of the day) and laugh at funny tumblr posts.

Another one of my favorite apps is Netflix. I’m pretty sure that every teenager in America would agree with me. I would mostly only watch “Jem and the Holograms” but it consumed most of my weekends. I swear I would only watch one episode (no more like 78.) But, when I would go downstairs it would already be dinnertime!

My last favorite app is one that wouldn’t most likely be on your favorite apps list. The weather app. I use it to determine if I’m going to be wearing shorts or jeans. Or if I need an umbrella or hat (sometimes both.) And you can catch me smiling if I find out there won’t be any school at all! Also in the winter I like looking at other cities to see if it’s snowing or it’s another great day for the beach.

These are only five of my favorite apps but there are so many more to be discovered! So I would like to know, what is one of your favorite apps? Leave your response in the comments below!
