Graduations

Walnut's Graduation was filled with blue & white gowns!
We had white doves fly into the sky & fireworks once we turned our tassels and threw our caps.
We hugged our classmates one last time before leaving that football field.
BTW, I was 2nd to last ranking in high honors.My friends, Angela, Azzedine, Jonathan & Luc decided to skip out on gradnite!
Instead we traveled places on a late Thursday night.
Bowling alley was about to close; Class 302 was closing; Cue was closed; The Kogi truck wouldn't serve us.
But, finally we settled at Guppy house for shaved ice & brick toast.
Then, we went to Top of The World for my first time!We ended up at Luc's house playing Apples to Apples till 4AM.
We call ourselves the Wolfpack!

Kathleen, Melissa, & I sat at the "nose bleeds" section for Rowland's graduation!I blew up posters of their heads!
Congrats to Kristine & Lidia.
+ April, Angela, Ariane, James, Derek, etc.
+ Nogales graduates: Margiel, Aljay, Tiffany, Jan, Austin, Valerie
After, we got some food at Bj's!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

He is -- years old.

Today;

In Monday Bible Study, I realized that life is short.
You never know when God plans for you to leave earth.
& It's important that we are all ready.
Live everyday as if it's your last.
Don't wait to accept Christ as your Savior when you're done having fun.

because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. -Romans 10:9

I had tech rehearsal for Dance Production today.
Made me feel discouraged,
Our class being the only beg/int. class in the theater,
with the adv & dance team.

Just got to Praise the Lord no matter what.
PTL, because I get an extra cute surprise at the end of the dance.

P.S. I love having conversations with people that I'm only acquainted with.
It feels nice when someone you haven't talk to or don't normally talk to
goes up to you and just starts talking.

Countdown
24 days until summer
17 days left of school

WEEK AFTER WEEK

MONDAY
I went with my Dad to the AE retreat "parent" meeting. I couldn't go inside cause it was for parents only. Jason said I could wait outside. I thought I was going to be the only one because the rest of the youth were leaders. But, Brian said he got kicked out. We found a balloon. Then, everyone came together, like Stephanie, Kaysee, Alexa, Holly, Brian, Bryan, The Twins, Danny and Andrew. The balloon almost flew away, but I caught it. But, a little later it went "bye bye". We attempted to play Boom Chicka Boom Boom. We took pictures with Holly's phone. Then, Brian lifted me. Then, Bryan attempted to lift me. We danced throughout the whole area. Then, Piggy back race. Bryan could not take me, we dropped to the floor. Fun stuff.

WITH ALL THIS DANCING

On thursday, we had our multicultural assembly. I have a few videos that I uploaded that I'd like to share!

Swing Club. I love how they did their little flips and twists. I went to the club meetings in the beginning of the year, but all we kept doing was the triple step, so I just left. Emily, Fiona, Kevin, and I think JJ is in this video.


HipHop club. Um, I remember their performance last year, and it wasn't so great. People were kind of "what are they doing?" They've improved.


Halo-Halo club. They start out by a traditional dance that involves candles. Of course, the candle light was fake. Then, it goes into Halo Halo Hip Hop with Bryan, Azzedine, Jason, Paige, and more.



Black Student Union. Mostly Hip Hop. Starts out with three girls with sharp movements. Janelle, Audrey, and Kathleen(?). Then, everyone starts running in and starts jerkin' till the end of the song.


Polynesian Club. The girls do their cutesy dance, with Celine and Felicia and others. Then, guys come out and stop their feet and slap their chests.

I love Natrina!

After school friday, hung out at the spot where everyone is. Take the bus to Nogales. Meet up with everyone and chill at the new spot "Chai Cafe". Cool, that guy working in there is somewhat famous.

I felt like a loner; everyone kept moving, and I just kept following. Angelo kept jerkin' every two seconds. And, everyone starts doing it as well. Jan starts to loosen up and not be that shy. Some guy got arrested for a couple of minutes, and then was released. I saw my sister's friend Cenen (sp?) going to Panda.

Kuya Mike picks me up. And we go get John who's at CVS. We get L&L. Kuya Mike blasts on Alicia Keys. Then, he tells me that I have to sing or else he won't move the car. But he does anyway, and I sing anyway. But he goes and tells everyone I was going crazy and pulling down the windows and pointing, but that was so him!

& Why am I so dark?

Anyways, I have a blessings. I got the highest quiz grade in Algebra II. Everyone was amazed because the smartest person in the class gets the highest grade. I praise God because I thought that it was hard, but I managed to get most of it right!

Notes for those who did not attend & for me to apply:
Why should a person study the bible on their own? 2 Timothy 1:1-6
1. To guard truth..
-Paul makes sure the words are being passed on & It is our Job as our Christians.
2. To be a good soldier of Christ
-2 Timothy 2:5-7
-learn the rules before you folllow it
-knowing will give you understanding
HOW?
1. prepare yourself
-set a definite time & place
-imploy tools: modern translation, notebook, pen, highlighter, dictionary, commentary.
-OIMA: Observation, Interpretation, Meditation, Application
SUGGESTIONS:
1. wake up an hour earlier before you get ready for school.
2. take a verse you like/know; read the surrounding chapter
3. Study 2 Timothy
4. Take notes.
-2 Timothy 3:16-17
-God is the author of all scripture. Bible has authority.
