Set in the street

“Set in the street” took a lot of hard work and time. The first step was building the walls. We used wood and thick sheets of paper in order to be able to drill and hammer the piece together. After that we used a purple-gray color and painted the walls. Once all 3 sets of wood were finished we put them all together. Then we used a sofa and a chair from the teachers lounge to make it look more like a living room. After that we used a black framed photo of the school in it and hung it up. We also used a bookshelf from the teachers lounge with different varieties of books in it. After we used an older looking lamp to have some light. The 2 end coffee tables were put together to make it look like 1 table. MAGIC! We then took our places as someone took our photo. Down below is a sample photo of my friends in the set.

This is a picture of a Boston bombing survivor in physical therapy. It was taken by Josh Haner on May 8, 2013. This picture means a lot to me because I have a lot of family in Boston and an aunt who ran in the race. Luckily, she was okay and ended up being fine. I am a dancer and I need my legs. Knowing that this poor guy who was either supporting or running  in the race, now sadly, he is not able to do the same things as he was. I appreciate a lot more now.

This photo is called Defending the Barricade. It was taken by Oded Bality on February 7, 2007. It’s a photo of a Jewish teenager trying to push back the Israeli security forces . After this the young girl was taken by the hair and  was beaten with a club. It really hurts my heart to see something like this. 

My favorite exhibit was the Berlin Wall exhibit. This picture shows the separation between East and West Germany. It also had the tower that people would shoot and kill people from. I found it very interesting to learn about Germany from the past. It was very cool to see the actual artifacts.

Thankful Post

The first thing I am thankful for is my house. I have lived in my house for 10 years. It is right across from Lakelands Park and right by Lakelands clubhouse. It is close to many shops and restaurants and my bed is also inside my house and it’s very comfy. 

The second thing I am thankful for is my grandpa. Even though he sadly passed away from his long fight of cancer, he never fails to always be in a special spot of my mind. I miss him everyday and I am so thankful for him. 

I am sometimes thankful for my siblings. It really just depends on the day. They are very annoying but I always enjoy playing sports  with them .

2 of my pictures are of my friends. I am sooooo thankful for my friends because I do everything with them. They are always there for me. 

I am very thankful for my cousins because they live in Boston so I don’t get to see them very often. I love getting to spend time with them.
