Graduation Speech
Hello to everyone who is reading this. From parents to teachers to students to the District 67 staff. I want to thank you. I want to thank all of you for giving me the opportunity to learn, to play, to discover the world in ways I couldn't have thought of. Before I get into my speech, I wanted to thank the teachers at Hynes.
Teachers like Ms. Johnson, Mrs. Reiner, Mrs. Sadkin. Mr. Step, and, and Mr. G in Hynes who taught me the basis on how to be kind, caring, and respectful to others. Who taught me that you should try and tackle your fears, no matter how big they are. Who taught me that it's not bad to step out of your comfort zone, and to be daring. I learned to give it my all, no matter how daunting a task was, and that being respectful to others is a trait that will reward not only you, but others as well. Without my teachers at Hynes, I wouldn't know basics like reading, writing, calculating, and caring. Really, thank you.
For my friends and teachers at Golf, you are best people anybody could have to guide them through not only school, but life as a whole. Whenever I was down or need something to just lighten me up, you guys were always there.
In 5th Grade I was lucky to still have my friends from Hynes, and we were able to get closer together as a result of staying within the same class for the entire day. Surprisingly, even though that was the way of school all the way up that point, I never felt like I wanted a break from it. I can remember Mrs. Moss, my 5th grade teacher, and how she used to tell the class about Wrigley, her dog. I remember the Science Fair and how I took on the task of creating a scale prototype of a shoe rack/coat hanger, which I modeled with a little bear.
In 6th Grade, we had a change in the way of school, because we had to switch classes for every subject of ours. I made some friends from this change, and I'm still grateful to have them now. 6th Grade was a year of familiarity, however, at the same time there was a difference in the way we knew each other. I feel like there was a slight difference about how we interacted, like the way we talked, how we thought of each other. It was like we matured, but we were still the same people we were for the past 7 years.
7th Grade, in my opinion, was the biggest change that we had in the district in terms of friendships and classes. I was with the same people I was with previously, yet there was still that same feeling of disconnection with some people. Friends I was with earlier left for other classes, and I almost stopped communicating with them. At the same time I made friends that I have very close relationships with, so the vibe of 7th Grade echoed that of 6th. In the same year I met some of the most influential teachers I have had so far. I had to take on the challenge of learning a new language, taking the Constitution Test, and exploring new places in Camp MacLean. Throughout all this I had friends who had my back no matter what it took, and teachers willing to support me at every end and corner. 7th Grade was also the year I took on sports, one of the best things I could ever decide to do in my life.
8th Grade was the quickest year, yet it was the densest year, filled with all sorts of events and antics. Being in Mrs. Joyner's class was one of the best things to happen in the district, as I got to know a class that would redefine the unexpected. From all the inside jokes to the tomfoolery that was always present, even during tests. Everyone knew that this was the class to turn to when we wanted to "woot woot turn up". When she wasn't here, we always talked through classroom, expressing our confusion and sadness as to why we were missing out on so much. From concerning Mr. Gilman with the pandemonium we caused, to personally going through the stress of interviews and Model U.N., which now I look back on with warmth in my heart, because Mrs. Joyner was there to go with me through it.
Mrs. Conejo dealt with the random spurts of wildness and pranks we pulled in her class, from dancing at the front, to death stares stronger than lasers, to ears that didn't quite seem normal. She entreated upon us the importance about being kind and aware of yourself and others, understanding our thoughts about the seriousness of presentation of issues as serious as it.
Mr. Carris' class was filled with sarcastic humor and moments of pure joy, pranking others and making bets with everyone on who would win what. The table that I sat at was one of loudness, but in my defense we had some good moments. (Not exactly appropriate for this post :) )
In Mr. Carro's class we cracked puns and weren't afraid to be honest about what we thought, imploring for information on how the real, "grown-up" world works. Taking a class and transforming it into a lesson about taxes and mortgages may not sound like the most exciting thing, but it was a wacky departure from the hubbub that took place in his class.
Going to Camp MacLean for the second time was something I looked forward to for the entire year. The first time was fun and a mystery to nearly all of us at first, but now that we would have familiarity with the camp and the activities in it, another door was opened to the things that we could do. Thinking about anything but looking down on the High Ropes course, lounging around and gaping at all the food we had in the Main Lounge, running from wasps while fishing, and acting like we were on the insane root at midnight, were just some of the most memorable events at Camp.
My time at District 67 was one that I will never, ever let get away from me, no matter how many memories I make after this year. It was a time that shaped my being and mind, my knowledge and awareness, my relationships and feelings. I will miss, and cherish the time I had at District 67, Thank you.

Endings And Beginnings
This week's blog post is supposed to be about endings and beginnings, and i'm going to write about it by responding to a quote.
God wants us to know that life is a series of beginnings, not endings. Just as graduations are not terminations, but commencements. Creation is an ongoing process, and when we create a perfect world where love and compassion are shared by all, suffering will cease.
- Bernie Siegel
While the quote in whole is a very deep and inspiring one, I will be focusing on the first half of it for this post.
Bernie states that life is not just endings, they can be interpreted as beginnings too. An example he gives is graduation. Instead of leaving the life and school you've been in, you are just beginning a new one. While this is a very true and creative way to interpret life, I think that the endings should be considered just as much as the beginnings. Yes you are going to a new school, meeting new people, but at the same time you are leaving a foundation that you have been a part of for 8 years, with people that have never left your side. Now in high school with all new classes and hundreds of other people, there is a definite possibility that some of those relationships will end.
One way I like to think about beginnings and endings is considering life. When you are born, you start your official "life". But even as we grow, learn, communicate, we are also stepping closer to the end. Every second that passes by is a second closer to death. In this perspective we can consider life an ending and beginning, at the same time.
In conclusion, I think that endings and beginnings are an integral way of how we perceive and get through life, as one ending can be the beginning of something far greater, or the end of life can lead to a Heaven leagues beyond what we see now.

STANDARDIZED TESTS
Standardized tests. One of the many banes of my existence. Even the name sounds boring and unpleasant. "Standardized", meaning normal, causing to conform to a standard. "Test", a one time "display" of your knowledge that is wrongfully used to measure your overall intelligence.
One example of these tests is the PARCC test. Much like the term "Standardized Test", the name is not only unpleasant, but also a trick! The test does not deserve to be named the PARCC, as it reminds many of a park, a place of fun and relaxation, adventure and activity. The test is in reality, the stark opposite.
Besides the nasty feeling you get saying it, there's also the annoying reality of taking it. You answer page after page of misleading questions, forcing you to abandon what YOU thought was the right answer, for what the PARCC thinks is the right answer. It confuses and frustrates you, because you have no idea on how to tackle the test! Each strategy you come up with is shot down by another bad question or another haphazard passage.

The most important thing that I think is wrong about not only the PARCC, but most standardized tests is that they are used as a definitive measure of you intelligence and capability to learn. They are a one time representation of not only 1 year, but many years of knowledge and experience. The test can make you stressed, which can impact your performance.
Other events that can be going on at the same time can also impact your performance. The placement of the PARCC at a time like the end of a school year, the YEAR BEFORE HIGH SCHOOL is a recipe for stress, distraction, and frustration. There's high school issues, end of the year issues, sports issues, and it all just doesn't make sense.
The PARCC is a bad, poorly executed test, but what REALLY bugs me are tests like the ACT AND SAT. They are of a MUCH, MUCH higher stake than the PARCC, being the mostly deciding factor for your college and life. They're the gateway to Ivy League colleges, and the obstacles to them at the same time. One thing about them that is cool is that you can retake them, but even then you have so many chances.
Overall, I believe that standardized tests are a bad way of measuring the intelligence of students, and a worse way to deciding their future.

A Tribute To Someone Special
Most people would write a tribute to someone in their family, or someone really close to them. However, I feel that I express this usually, especially to my family. I want to dedicate this to someone who's responsible for teaching me what I know. He's someone who really deserves this, and even a blog post won't do him justice. This person is Mr. Carris. He's the Social Studies Teacher at my school, and he's one of the best teachers I've had so far.
He always explains things the subjects we're learning not only in the standard way, but in a way we can relate to and understand. He uses modern topics as analogies for conflicts and events, which really does help us absorb what's happening in the past. He's never afraid to teach us the gritty and real events of all the wars we've learned about.
He always cracks jokes and makes sure that whatever we're focused on has a bit of humor in it. There's never a moment where tension, or any negative feelings are present in the classroom, as he never fails to break it. He doesn't fluff up what we learn, and isn't afraid to be completely honest about the feelings of people concerning the topic.
Mr. Carris is truly someone who is not only great at his job, but is also someone who is great at lightening the hearts of those he knows. Even when I get to know more people and have more teachers, there is no one who will surpass Mr. Carris at what he does and no one who will take his place in my life.

A Magical Meeting With People I Will Never Know
If I could have a meeting with 3 famous people, I would have one with Alexander Graham Bell, Shah Rukh Khan, and Gordon Ramsay, and it would be in a restaurant.
I chose Alexander not only because I researched him in 4th Grade, but also because I want to know about certain aspects of his life. As a child he grew up with a deaf mother and I wanted to know how he overcame such a strong gap with someone as close as his mother. He also had a natural knack for inventing when he was young, an example being him creating a dehusker. I also wanted to know his emotions when he first created the telephone, as I imagine it was a very big deal.
If you don't know who Shah Rukh Khan is, then I feel bad for you(No offense). He's a very famous Indian actor who is considered one of the most influential people in India. He is also a huge philanthropist to disaster relief and health care, and is a supporter of children's education. He also has a nice beard. I would love to meet him and discuss the world with him, and i'm sure he would be awesome at conversation along with mixing humor into it.
I chose Gordon Ramsay because I've recently taken more of an interest in cooking and it would be awesome to try some of his foods. He would give me me some of those famous insults, and knowing me, he would probably go even harsher. However, it would be nice to really get to know him.
I would choose a restaurant because it's a casual place to hang out, and we could try some of Gordon's dishes. SRK would probably be cracking jokes while Alexander would try to fancily describe the quality of the food. All in all, it would be an awesome meeting

The Importance of Field Trips
The title of this blog post is about the importance of field trips, which is pretty high. Field trips are a good way to teach students without using the traditional classroom approach. Students generally(note that I said generally) tend to pay more attention to things on field trips, because they're not that used to being at different places and learning in them other than school. We get ecstatic when we hear that we're having field trips, because it's a chance for us to actually learn AND remember lessons that we usually wouldn't get in school. If field trips were to be stopped, we would stop getting exposure to meaningful learning opportunities outside of school.

A Cinematic Experience Worthy For All The Awards: Doctor Strange
Doctor Strange
Doctor Strange is the latest installment in the critically acclaimed Marvel Cinematic Universe, based on the Marvel comic books. It is an amazing show of visual effects and storytelling, and of the best movies in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. It starts off with the extremely wealthy neurosurgeon Stephen Strange(Benedict Cumberbatch). He is a cocky, self centered man who doesn't recognize the effect of his attitude on his coworkers, including his love interest Christine Palmer(Rachel McAdams).
While driving down a road at night, he suffers a car accident in which his hands are practically destroyed. His career as a neurosurgeon is effectively ended, and he spends all of his resources trying to fix himself. He ostracizes himself from the people he knows, and becomes a broken man. He travels across the world in a last ditch effort to save his career and restore him to the man he once was. What follows is a visual masterpiece involving sorcery and the world as we know it.
Within the movie are scenes of pure mastery, too detailed and thought out to be accurately described in this movie review. These sequences are mind bending and colorful, showing a new universe unheard of to man, also exhibiting the countless hours of work in production of the movie. There are reality warping sequences that remind viewers of Inception with a little Harry Potter thrown in. I cannot believe that Dr. Strange did not win an Oscar for its effects, but they were wonderful regardless.
The storytelling of the movie was excellent, but there were some instances in which it was rushed. I could understand having to cut between months of action in-movie, but additional background information could've been provided. However, the transition in the movie from the broken shell of a man to a man that is multiple times better than what he was originally was excellent. The movie truly illustrates how Stephen progressed as a human mentally.
Overall, Dr. Strange is an excellent movie, beautifully thought out and executed. I give it a 9.5/10. I hope that the future films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe live up to the bar set by Dr. Strange.

Actual title is below!
(Something went wrong with the in-post title, so you have to highlight the space in between the 2 lines)
The
I play the alto saxophone, a common instrument in many bands. It wasn't the first choice I had when I decided to join the school band. The trumpet was the instrument I first gravitated towards, because of its simplicity. It wasn't too big, there didn't seem to be a specialized technique to playing it, and it was a main instrument in band. However, when I first tried to play it, I found out there was a technique to play it, and I kid you not, it was blowing a raspberry. I had little success doing it, so I turned to the saxophone.
In 5th grade, when all this was taking place, I was a pretty tiny person. The saxophone, in my opinion, was a modest instrument. In my mind I placed it below the importance of the trumpet but above the flutes and clarinets(Sorry guys!). It had a lot of bells and whistles, which was a little intimidating. I took the chance and chose the saxophone as my instrument. The saxophones in our school band were either available in alto or tenor. The tenor sax seemed a little to big for me at the time, so I chose the alto.
My experience playing the alto sax has been one of great enjoyment. I think this applies to everyone, but at first I felt a wave of intimidation and nervousness. The mechanics of the saxophone, combined with having to get the air through the body, seemed like a real challenge. However, I slowly adjusted to getting better at playing and making the music sound solid. Based on my experience, you should be focused on the music when playing a song, as it reduces distraction and mistakes. On the other hand, you shouldn't be thinking about a song too much when playing, as this can also fill your mind too much. I just look at the notes, and play them without thinking too much. This does result in mistakes sometimes, sadly.
When performing, you do what's described above, but you also have to think about another thing: doubt. When you've been practicing a song for weeks, and you're trying to put everything into not messing up, sometimes you hesitate to play a part or two where there's not many people in the background to support you. There's parts where, if you mess up, it's CLEARLY heard, and parts where if you mess up, no biggie. What we sometimes in Band is each person can take a little break from playing for 2-3 measures, as long with other people with the same part are still playing. This helps us relax for a little bit, but for the person who's still playing, it's all on them to continue the performance. So you shouldn't hesitate to perform during a concert or event, because you can learn from any mistakes you may make.
So that's my lengthy, but personal take on my experience playing music. I hope you enjoyed it, and that you also enjoy the memes below.

If I Were The President
If I were the president I would want to improve the health of Americans, fix strained race relations, and improve school funding. I know these might sound like things anyone might say, but they really are serious issues.
The health of Americans. Over 2 out of every 3 Americans are overweight or obese, and 142,000 preventable deaths happen each year because of obesity. The US has to spend an extra $147,000,000,000 on obesity every year. Statistics show that 3 out of every 4 Americans will be overweight or obese by 2020, which is a pretty serious topic.
I would roll out programs to help Americans either stop their increasing weight and/or lose their weight. Obesity is affecting Americans as young as 8 or 9 years old, and going up into the teens. People in the US are getting judged because of their weight. We need to control our habits, and be aware of ourselves.
Race Relations. Not only race relations, but religious relations are being highly tested right now, with the ban keeping citizens from 7 countries from entering the US. I don't want to give my personal thoughts about the ban itself, but I am slightly concerned that the countries might want to retaliate against the US. Iran had even placed a ban on US visas entering Iran, in response to Trump's ban. They recently lifted their ban because the US ban was lifted, but people in many cities and even countries are opposing the ban.
Some African American relations are also being tested, represented through the Black Lives Matter. And on top of that the border wall to Mexico is being built. Right now the country is in a tight situation concerning race and religion, and I want to fix that.
Last of all is school funding. I know that particularly in Illinois state funding is at a low but I think that overall funding for education should be higher than it is now. Lead tests are being administered at schools across the nation and many of those schools are testing positive for lead. If funding was increased for schools, testing and removal of lead would've been done earlier, and that additional efforts to control lead would be taking place.
I also think that efforts to increase sanitation in schools should be emphasized, so that students can learn in a good environment. Overall, I think efforts to improve schools should be taken upon by the government, and president.

Christmas Gift
Right now we're in the Holidays, where everything is cheery and fun. So far Christmas and New Year's have passed, but there's still the rest of the Winter left for us. I want to take the time to talk about a gift that I wish I had the money to give someone. It's for my dad, and it's called the Samsung Galaxy Gear 3.
It's a smartwatch, which basically means that you can connect it to your phone. On the outside it looks like a normal watch, but the phone-like features are underneath the surface. It costs $349.99, which to some people doesn't really sound like much, but I can explain why I can't get it.
In my house it's an invisible rule that we shouldn't spend a lot of money on gifts. It's not that we're cheap, it's just that the person should appreciate what you got for them, no matter what you spend for the gift. You shouldn't need to spend that much money to make somebody happy.
I want to get it for him because he deserves it. He does so much to care for my family regardless of what it takes. He always wants to make sure that I understand everything and when I don't, he doesn't hesitate to explain it. He will do whatever it takes to help us with all our problems, sometimes even creating step-by-step plans.
He also loves to be in style and he would love the look of the watch. He likes all different types of technology and he would love having a mini phone on his wrist. He also loves watches, so I think he would love it with everything I've said.
