End of Year Reflection

KeeleyLeave a comment

 

 

Hey there!  Today I am going to be reflecting on this school year. As my days of being a 7th grader come to an end, I think about the ups and downs of this year.  This will be my last post before summer break and my last post for a school assignment!  Happy reading.

This past year and a half has been very different.  Some highlights of this year are that I got to spend time with my family, and that I was able to learn in the comfort of my own home. Some lowlights of this year are that I didn’t get to play band in person, I didn’t get to interact with peers at school, and I developed worse sleeping habits then I already had.  One thing I learned about myself is that I really stress out over grades and I have a bad obsession were all my grades need to be at least A’s.  I don’t like when my grade books order is messed up with different grade.  This year I also learned about my introverted side.  Covid has worsened my anxiety about being around a lot of people and I also have become more of a homebody.  Something I learned about other people and our country, is that our country can have a really hard time compromising.  At the beginning of Covid our country seemed really divided, but it seems like things are getting better.  Lastly to finish my reflection, I want to remember from this year that time management is important and that school grades don’t have to be perfect.

You made it!  I hope you enjoyed this personal type of post.  If you have any questions, concerns, or blog URLs, then drop them in the comments.  Also, make sure to subscribe to my email list so you know everytime I post.  I hope you guys have a wonderful summer break. As always, remember to live you life for soul.

Hey everyone!  I have another 100 word challenge for you.  Today’s story is based on medieval times, and inspired by rapunzel.  I hope you enjoy the story because I really enjoyed writing this one.  If you like these challenges, make sure to enter your email in the sidebar so you get notified every time I post.  The five prompt words for this week are balloon, brown, frightening, never, and kicked. Happy reading!

 

With the invention of the hot air balloon,  it was easier to travel to other territories, and I had no clue how to work such equipment. I was sent on a quest to retrieve a brown satchel from an enemy nation traveling by balloon.  This job was frightening,and I never imagined I would be chosen by the king for this daunting  journey. As a young lad I was kicked around and told I would become an old servant.  I have defied thy destiny and shall not let my past stand in the way of thy future.

 

Yay!  You made it!  If you liked this story, make sure to subscribe to my blog.  Also, comment your thoughts and blog URL down below so I can check it out.  As always, remember to live your life with soul.

One Little Word

The word I chose was soul.  I chose this word for many reasons.  Soul is my middle name and I think fits me perfectly.  I chose soul because this year I want to take care of my mental health and live each day to the fullest.  I chose to draw things around Soul that represent what I want to accomplish this year.  

 

I think this word will inspire me this year because it has a special meaning to me.  Soul is a part of who I am and knowing my word is soul will make me feel obligated to complete my goals for myself.  Knowing that this word has lots meaning, completing my goals for this year will make me feel much more accomplished.  With all of that being said I need to make sure that I plan out my goals so I can accomplish them efficiently. The plan will be simple but effective.  

 

   My plan will consist of three parts.  My first part will include my self care.  I want to try and keep up with my skin care and I want to watch my food intake and make sure I eat foods that make me feel good.  The second part of my plan is to take care of my soul/spirit.  I will try to meditate more and make sure I have time to think to myself.  Lastly I want to keep myself on top of things.   I want to make myself be more productive and plan out my activities more.  I want to stay on top of posting content on social media and I want to make sure I practice dance regularly. 

 

Thanks everyone for reading!  In this blog post I really wanted to get my point across of why I chose this word.  This word has a lot of meaning and I hope you guys think of your own words and how they will help you.  Comment down below what your favorite part of this post was and while you’re down there leave your blog URL so I can check it out.

100 Word Challenge #5

This weeks prompt ^

Hey everyone!  Today I am sharing the 100wc #5.  To be honest, I’ve started to lose count of how many I’ve done.  This week’s prompt was very similar to two weeks ago, but I didn’t want this week to be the same.  I decided to go out of my usual serious writing style this week and go for a more creative style.  Hopefully you enjoy it and, if you like it, nominate me to be on the homepage of the 100wc.  

 

 I was on my regular walk around the neighborhood with my friend.  It was a normal day and a normal week, but, for some reason, the people around us were acting weird.  In the middle of our walk, we saw a yellow bike strapped to the tire by the wheel!  The farther past this tree, the more bikes we saw like this.  I was starting to think it was bad luck to lock a bike normally in this town.

 

Yay, you finished!  This short story was based off of something like a dream.  For some reason, I feel like after Covid 19 this is how things will be. Maybe some random viral video would trick everyone into thinking this will stop them from getting sick.  Anyways, if you enjoyed this story, don’t forget to comment and tell me what you think.  While you are at it, leave your blog URL, so I can check it out.   As always, don’t forget to live your life with soul.

100 Word Challenge 3

My brother 🙂

Hey all you soulful people!  Today I am back with the third 100 word challenge.  Today’s prompt is actually five words!  The words are: bicycle, desperate, yellow, warned, and greedily.  Hope you enjoy!

My brother usually gets his way even though he’s only 1!  One day we were playing outside, and my brother was wearing his adorable yellow jacket.  He has two baby bicycles, and I jokingly rode one while he was on the other.  He warned me by yelling at me and then greedily pushed me off.  So when I got my own bike, my brother desperately looked at me  wanting to ride!  Of course he didn’t want to ride his two bikes, but the one that his big sister was riding.

 

Hope you guys enjoyed this weeks blog post.  This weeks post was based off of a true story.  Comment down below with your try at this prompt.  While you’re there, leave your blog URL if you have one, so I can check it out.  As always, remember to live your life with soul!

 

100 Word Challenge #2

Hey everyone today I am back with another 100 word challenge.  Today’s prompt is a little different.  It isn’t a word or sentence but its actually an image.  I have to admit this image stumped me at first but I persevered.  I hope you enjoy my 2nd 100 word challenge. Enjoy!

 

Prompt ^

 

 

I was walking through the forest to clear my mind.   Normally I go to the lake deep in the trees to center myself but today I thought it would be fun to explore further into the greenery. I was nearing the small lake and noticed a weird shape in a tree a few feet from me.  I walked over to it and it looked like the tree was reaching out for me.  It was shaped like a person but stuck inside the bark of the tree.  Maybe I should explore more and discover all the cool things in the woods.

 

You made it!  I hope you enjoyed my blog post this week.  It’s really fun doing the challenges.  Leave a comment down below of your own challenge to this prompt.  Also while your down their leave your blog url so I can check it out.  As always remember to live your life with soul.
