All I Wanna Do is... Graduate!

Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail"
-Ralph Waldo Emerson-
Hello everyone! Our topic this week is Graduating.
Graduation is the action of achieving or vesting an academic degree. The ceremony that is occasionally associated, where students become graduates. The date of graduation is usually called graduation day.

To me, graduation is a big event in a persons life. Whether you've just graduated from Kindergarten, 5th grade, Jr. High, High School, or College, It's still special. I remember graduating in Kindergarten. We dressed up as pirates and walked the plank,(a balance beam.)

In June this summer, I graduated from 5th grade. We held it at our school in the M.P.R. Everyone was excited & sad at the same time. It was nice to see all of our peers before summer break & Jr. High.

Here is a video of my graduation ceremony at school.

All I Wanna Do is... Dance

All I Wanna Do is...DANCE
"Great dancers aren't great becuse of their technique; 
dddthey're great because of their passion." 
- Unknown

Me...Oh, I love to dance! 
When I dance, it makes me feel great and confident. 
When I grow up , I want to teach kids how to dance. 
I dance all of the time. I go to school and dance. I dance in the hallways. I dance at recess. 
I dance when I'm in a store. (But who doesn't?) 
I make up new dance moves all the time. 
I sometimes imitate the dance moves I see on 
t.v. shows, movies or games.


Here's a list of my top 5 favorite dance movies

Breakin' 
Step Up 2
Step Up 3
Bring It On
Beat Street



Here's a list of my top 3 favorite dance T.V. shows.

All I Wanna Do is...Be Myself

All I Wanna Do Is... Be Myself 


The topic this week is being yourself. 

 

  Be myself. What are the first words that pop up in you're brain when you hear that? Try it. My words are true, kind, me, and 100% real.

Remember to be yourself, even when it might be kind of embarrassing. You're YOU! 

When you're around other people, be who you are, and not what people think you should be.  If they judge you about what you're doing, say "GOD made me this way" or "Child Please!" I sometimes get teased in school about what I wear, because I have my OWN style. Do you really think I care? No! You're You. I'm Me! People point things out on other people because they're not confident in themselves.

It's very important to believe in yourself always, even if it might be hard. When you look in the mirror every morning, say "I may not be perfect in other people's vision, but in God's vision,  

I'm a masterpiece!"

Scroll all the way down to see one of my favorite, positive songs about being yourself!

Quotes CARRI* loves...
"How many cares one loses 
when one decides not to be something 
but to be someone."
-Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
"Never dull your shine for somebody else."
- Tyra Banks 
I love this quote. Do you know why? Tyra Banks was bullied in school. People called her 5-head and everything. But look where she's at now. She's getting paper! (LOL) 


" Imperfect is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous then absolutely boring." 
- Marilyn Monroe 
"Never bend your head. Always hold it high. 
Look at the world in the right in the eye."
- Helen Keller
-Lady GaGa

Dr.Seuss once said "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." In other words, express yourself, because those who are negative about what you do or what you say are not important. Those who truly care about you, accept you for who you are. They're your true friends!


" Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life."- Steve Jobs


Watch this video! The lyrics mean a lot. 
It talks about being yourself and not anybody else. 
Being an individual!

Well, I hope you learned something INSPIRING!
