Hello Everybody! I'm back!!! I know, it's been a ridiculously long time. All summer, in fact. Well, I'm finally back, and it's hot out, and the end of the day, and I'm so ready to go home, but not before updating you guys of everything that's going on here in room F-101. Keep on reading, and I'll see you at the bottom. :)So, first G.T project of the new school year... exciting! It's going to be a personal manifesto motivational poster thing, and it's going to be awesome. Before I give you all the details on that though, I'm going to tell you a little about myself. One interesting fact about me is that I've completed several sessions of junior lifeguard training, and although I haven't been to a state championships yet, my district, Kauai, has been undefeated for 12 years! I'm also a swimmer for Mokihana Aquatics, and have gone to several state invitationals off island. I live in Hawaii, which is pretty normal for me, seeing as I've lived here my whole life, but to the readers who live in Germany, or wherever, I suppose that could be interesting. Another fact about me is I have actually only been out of the country once, on a cruise to Alaska. We stopped at a port in Victoria, Canada at 10:00 p.m, and stayed there for about an hour and a half. It was really nice, although everything was closed. How many facts is that? Three? All right, two more. Let's see... I keep lots of journals, not the kind where you make daily updates about your life or anything, just composition books that I use to write ideas down in. Heres a fact that goes with that one; I write a lot. Just stories that I make up, whether short or long, and I love to create charts that organize different characters. I'm really into character development and all that.
Thank goodness we're done with that. Let's move on to writing a personal manifesto. So, for those of you who don't know what a manifesto is, let me give you a short explanation, and then if you still don't understand, or you want to go deeper with that, then you can check out the lovely link I'll be leaving for you below. A manifesto is a basically a creative, public declaration of your goals, beliefs, and ideas. Now, without further ado, my 2015-16 manifesto!
Be true to yourself. Live your life like nobodies watching. Do what makes you happy. Surround yourself with people who love you for who you are, not who they want you to be. Be the best version of yourself. Laugh often. Be happy. Love who you are. Love others for who they are. Appreciate what you have, for there is always someone who has it worse. Push your self past the limits set for you, whether by yourself or others. What you put in is what you get. Never give up on your dreams. Do something creative every day. Appreciate the people who care about you, and who help you grow as a person. Learning is crucial. Make mistakes, learn from them. Have courage. It's your life, take control of it. Live your passion, and find the joy in it.So that was that. Manifesto has been written, and I actually have more than the required amount of sentences for today... but I have yet to explain why my manifesto matters to you. To be honest, I'm practically making this up as I go along at this point... lets see. My manifesto should matter to you because I believe these are things that everyone should strive for. I think that anyone who tries to find something that relates to their life in this list will. Everyone should have a motto, or something they live by, wether you publish it in a manifesto or not.
So, that's all the wise advise I had stored up over the summer. I'll see you all next time, and don't worry- I'll be keeping up with blog throughout the school year, as it's a school assignment. I'm not quite sure what will happen next year, when I move up, and leave K.M.S, but I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I have enclosed two links, one to a google image search that explains manifesto, and a link to Mr. Sanderl's blog, which has links all GT student blogs. Until next time my darlings!(Pssssst- here's the links for today)
