Kid Nation!

I think it is crazy that these kids are doing this. I know I wouldn't. I'd be scared to be away from everything I'm used for so long. I would get homesick and it would be very terrible. It might be worth the gold star because of what it's worth, but I still don't think I would be okay with being away from home and family for 40 days. It would be very difficult to travel, get/make food, and be comfortable with living there. These kids are very brave. Especially the younger ones. The situations that they are getting put in are getting tougher and tougher. I will be really surprised if a lot of kids actually stay. I feel really bad for the kids who have to try and keep everyone together because they are feeling the most pressure. They are actually doing pretty well keeping things together even though they have had some issues. I think this is good for the kids though because they will be more responsible in their life back home and later in life. I think they chose the right thing between the TV and the outhouses. The TV would be a distraction from work and they need the outhouses more. I think it's good for them to work for money because it is goof practice for when you get older and work for the things you want. It's understandable that Jimmy wanted to go home to his family. He is very young to be doing something like this. I think that Sophia earned the gold star. She's been trying to help a lot and is trying to make a difference.

Six Flags

 

I love going to Six Flags. I really wish it was open in the winter even though it would be cold going on the rides. Whenever people ask what my favorite ride is, I can't give them an answer because I like so many of them. Which is kind of weird because I hated roller coasters till like 2 summers ago. I don't even know what I was so afraid of now that I've rode all of the rides there. I even rode The Super Man over the summer. But, I really like the ride, The Boss and The Batman. Even though the lines are sometimes EXTREMELY long, Six Flags is one of my favorite places to go in the summer. I really hope I get another season pass this year.

The Things That Bug Me

Something that really bugs me is school and some people. School is supposed to be fun and you get to learn new things but for me, it isn't even about learning anymore. It's just about getting good grades. Some teachers do make it fun and I do actually learn some pretty cool stuff from some teachers. But, there are also some that I cannot learn from and they don't even try to make school fun for us. Some people bug me because they do things just to make me mad and it annoys me even more. And I cannot stand when people are constantly in my business all the time because it is my life not theirs and they judge before actually knowing the reasons that I make the choices that I do. Another thing that bugs me is my sister. She always annoys me. She never listens when I babysit her and she always back talks. She never stops screaming.
 

Missing Summer

I really miss summer. I miss going swimming and being outside 24/7. I love going on walks at night in the summer and hanging out with my friends. One of my favorite things to do in the summer is going to six flags. I'm tired of winter. I hate being cold all the time. The only thing I like about winter is being off school because of the snow. But, even snow days have bad parts to them. Like being bored and not being able to do anything except for going to play in the snow. Another bad thing about snow days is that you have to make them up. I wish I lived somewhere where it was never cold or snowy. Some people like winter and love snow but I just can't stand it. I could definitely live without snow.

Is Everyone Special?

 The US says everyone is special. I don't think this is right. Everyone isn't special. If everyone was special, then no one would be special. Everyone is different. You should be your own person and try to be. You shouldn't try to be like everyone else. You should do and be who you want and not care what everyone else thinks of you. But, in a different view everyone is special in their own way. There's always going to be something special about you no matter what. You can think of it in a lot of different ways and perspectives.
