I did a lot of cool things this summer. My family and I went fishing a lot this summer, and on certain days we would bring home up to 80 Bluegill. I got to go frog gigging too. I just got into Pony league this year and we came in first in the tournament. My family went on vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida. While we were there we spent a lot of the time at the beach, and walked many of trails. I caught 2 crabs that were 3 times the size of a fist, and a bunch of babies.
I don’t have that many goals this year, but they will be hard to achieve. My goals for this school year is to get all A’s in all four quarters. I’m going to try studying more, pay attention in class, and respect my teachers, so I can get all A’s. Most of my teachers are the same as they were last year, so that helps because I know what they require me to do. I plan on doing many things when i’m out of Junior High. In High School I want to have good grades, and have two years of my college done before I graduate. Eventually I am going to join a JROTC for the US Army. My career is going to be in the US Army for 20 years then I will retire and live the rest of my life. Vocabulary Week of August 29 - September 2 1.
