Post #1 - English TAKS! (5th 6 weeks)

A time when I had to prove myself was when I took my English TAKS test in the 7th grade. I had to prove to myself and Kealing staff that I was smart. I remember having to prove myself because that entire year, I was slacking off, being lazy, and not getting any work done. I had to prove to my school that I was still smart because the last year, I had the best grades in my class. When the day of the test came, I was prepared. I was sitting in the classroom, foot tapping on the floor with anticipation. When the test administrator gave out the tests and explained directions, I reluctantly sat through the boredom. When directions were finished being explained, I hastily opened my test booklet. I remember the feeling of accomplishment after I was the first to finish my test, just like the years before, that, at least hadn't changed about me. On the day where we were shown our grades on the test, I was astonished. I'd gotten commended! It wasn't like I'd never gotten commended on a test before, in fact it was the opposite, but on that day, I'd proven to myself and my school that I hadn't lost any intelligence in being lazy.

Post #6 - Library Fight

One of the things I've done while emotional is the time in 5th grade when I had my first fight. This fight was perpetrated by a boy named Juan-Carlos. He was so mean to everyone in the library every time they would go in. One day, he was too mean to my sister, I tried to reason with him about her behavior but, he totally disregarded me, so at that point, I'd had enough of him instigating. I'd tapped him on the shoulder and told him that I wanted to fight him outside. He agreed without thinking about it. Skipping all the details, I won the fight and that was pretty much the last time he was mean to anyone in that library.

Post #5 - IKE Sig

This is a sig that I’ve made and this is an analysis of it.

1. Line:
In this sig, line is represented by the “IKE” text.
2. Shape:
In this sig, shape is represented by the rectangles under the “IKE” text.
3. Texture:
In this sig, the background, to me, has a sort-of rusty texture.
4. Focal Point:
Obviously, the focal point of this sig is the character, Ike.
5. Unity:
In this sig, everything is unified because it all has a glow-like feel to it.
