Im Still Here Blog

Dear Diary, today all I ate were beans. And my little sister Marion was still hungry so I gave her the rest of my food. My parents still didn't tell Marion or I why we are stuck behind a bookshelf with another our neighbors. Every time we hear noises Marion cries so mom has to cover her mouth, so I always ask "Why are you doing that mom, you're hurting her?" "It's okay, shes not getting hurt. Its for our own good" then she starts to tear up so I just say "Oh okay mother." When I slept one day all I heard was " Is the bookshelf is reversible?" And the other one said "I don't know we can check tomorrow" That got me me really scared because I didn't know who said that. The next morning, I didn't tell my family what I heard yesterday because I thought they would start to worry and I didn't want to put them in danger. But at the end I regret not telling them..

Holocaust Museum fieldtrip

I really enjoyed the Holocaust Museum in Skokie. It was a very fun but sad trip.  It was really informative, I learned a lot about how the Jews were treated back then, and it was really bad. My favorite part about the trip was when the survivor talked about his experience back then. It was really sad but interesting. He also showed us his tattoo number on his arm when he was put in a concentration camp. I was lucky to see the survivor because the workers there said that most of them are dying so we are a lucky school.

Erika's quote

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place.  And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love.  Always choose love.”  

(from Daniel’s Story by Carol Matas, page 70)

This quote is very inspiring, it reminds me of the movie Dear John. It reminds me of the movie because John chose love towards Savannah and risked many things for here. Although, Savannah married another man while John was away in the military he still came back for her because he loved her.These two quotes relate to each other because they both talk a out choosing love and to always be there for one another.And in the movie John was always there for Savannah although he only meet her for a week. In Erika's quote she talks about choosing love over any obstacle, and that's how these two quotes relate to each other.

“And when her lips met mine, I knew that I could live to be a hundred and visit every country in the world, but nothing would ever compare to that single moment when I first kissed the girl of my dreams and knew that my love would last forever.” (Nicholas Sparks, Dear John)

Endings and Beginnings

I think its going to be hard to leave this school. I have been in this school since the sixth grade and now I've became attached to these teachers and friends. I will miss my teachers and friends a lot. Even though we will leave each other I know we will still keep in touch. But I feel lucky to have these people in my life, that it's going to make it this hard to say goodbye to them. Even though I will miss coming to school with them I know I'm blessed to call them my friends.

The next Leap year I would be graduating high school, and looking forward for college. Also,I would hopefully be driving a nice Range Rover.

Ishtar's Sweet 16

 I attended my sister Ishtar's sweet 16. Her theme was Cinderella. I helped decorate the banquet, and it turned out really nice (cuz of me). I also pick out her dress, which was also really nice. I had so much fun, I really liked the dessert table which had amazing sweets. I also really liked the part where we slow danced. My sister slow danced with my dad, her friend Jason, her friend Jeff, then my two brothers.  My cousins and I also put some Assyrian culture into the birthday by doing a traditional belly dance. We belly danced. I had so much fun at my sisters sweet 16.
