This is one of my favorite quotes. When you want to be something or have something, you can't be like Aladdin and ask a Genie to give it to you. You have to start small and eventually you will grow. Just like a tree. It starts off with a tiny seed and it eventually turns into this huge thing that you use for shade during the summer. I really want to become a doctor when i'm older, but like I said, I can't just ask a Genie for my doctors degree, so I have to work for it. And it starts now. It might not seem huge but going to school is the first step and it is a small beginning compared to writing up prescriptions and helping patients. I feel like a job as a doctor is a big thing and just as the quote says, "Big things often have small beginnings." :)

There are many things that come to my mind as complicated. Besides waking up at six everyday for school, I think trying to accomplish a skill in a sport is probably one of the most complicated things in my life. Here's why. I started playing volleyball in the 3rd grade, when I saw my older cousin play. I thought, "Hey, that looks like fun." Ever since then, I've played volleyball and it has always been my favorite sport. Like most starters, I started out with underhand serves and simple bumps. I was scared to set because I had small fingers and I was afraid that I'd break one. After learning the basics (including setting), I tried digging and diving for the ball. I was afraid to throw myself towards the ball at first, but then I got it. Of course accomplishing these so-called basic skills seems like it's a piece of cake for you. Haha. Try it. Now, on to the most complicated skill, in my opinion. OVERHAND SERVING. For me, I've had the most trouble wit...

Wait for it... EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING MOVIE COMES OUT ON MAY THE 19! If you have not already read the book Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon, shame on you. I can't even begin to tell how good the book is. I strongly recommend you read it after you hear me explain why I'm so excited to see the movie. If you haven't already figured, the movie comes out on May 19, which isn't really that far away if you think about it. I finished the book in about two days, for many reasons. The book is written in many creative ways. Some pages are notes, some are short chapters, and others are words written in swirls. The context of the book and the way it's written makes you want to continue reading it. Here I have attached the wonderful movie trailer for you. Please read the book first. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjbG_NHjmdM

I hope this baby panda just made your day a bit better. :)

When I think of the word amazing, I think of my dad. My dad is always determined to make me and my siblings better people every day. He has taught me right from wrong and teaches me the most important things I need in my life. I am very thankful for my dad. He is one of my greatest role models. I hope I can grow up to be as smart and patient as my dad is. From pointing out driving techniques in the car to simply helping me with my math homework, he's always helping me. During my first amusement park ride, I had 6 tickets left for myself only but my dad came on the ride with me since I was afraid. I can't thank my dad enough because that was the scariest ride experience I've ever had. My dad is always pushing me to do better and because of him, I have succeeded in many things. Thanks Dad.

If I could spend a weekend with three famous people, they would be Drake, Jordan Larson, and Taylor Kinney. Drake is a famous rapper/singer, Jordan Larson is a USA Volleyball player, and Taylor Kinney is one of my favorite actors. I would want to meet Drake because he is one of my favorite singers and most of his songs are really good. I would want to meet him at one of his concerts and not just watch his concert but actually meet him and talk to him. His concerts look so lit. I would also ask him why he dropped his album today (March 18, 2017) instead of in December when it was supposed to drop. Just curious because I've been waiting! MORE LIFE. I would love to meet Jordan Larson. She is number 10 on the USA Women's National Volleyball Team. She is a huge role model to not just me, but many other volleyball players. It would be great to meet her and just talk about anything and not just volleyball. She seems like an amazing person on and off the court. I would like to meet...

My favorite field trip I've ever been on has to be the fie ld trip to Camp MacLean. I think this is my favorite field trip because of the activities and my cabin members. I had a great time doing all the activities. My favorite activity was the rock climbing. I liked the rock climbing because I like to reach the top. I also liked the fishing because 1) I've never gone fishing before and 2) it was fun when the fish took the worm and left. The only thing I didn't like was putting the worm on the hook. Blegh. I also liked my cabin even though none of my close close friends were in my cabin. I remember falling off the top bunk and landing on a suitcase because there were 3 other people sitting on that same bunk. The funniest part was when Gina, MacKenna, and I stayed up and heard snores. I can't wait to go to Camp MacLean again this spring. Overall, the trip was very fun and the adventures were even funner.
