Today we did a mock election. We also read a new story. I am almost finished with the questions. I will finish them tomorrow. It was hot in class today.
So, there was this one time I had to speak in front of my whole class for a project, and honestly, I was freaking out. My heart was pounding, and I felt like I might pass out just thinking about it. I was scared that I’d forget everything or stumble over my words. But I just focused on breathing and remembering that I was prepared, which helped calm me down. Once I started talking, I realized it wasn’t as bad as I thought, and I got into a rhythm. My advice? Just breathe, focus on the message, and don’t worry about being perfect! Today in class we did public speaking notes.
One player who inspires me is Cristiano Ronaldo because he worked extremely hard to become one of the best soccer players in the world. He came from a poor background, but he never let that stop him from chasing his dream. One lesson I can learn from his journey is that dedication and discipline are just as important as talent. He constantly trains, eats right, and pushes himself to improve every day. Another lesson is to never give up, even when facing challenges or criticism. If I stay focused, work hard, and believe in myself, I know I can achieve my dream of becoming a pro soccer player too.
There was a time in school when I felt judged unfairly, and it still sticks with me. In sophomore year, I tried out for the school soccer team, nervous but excited. I practiced hard, showing up early and giving it my best, but when the team roster was posted, I didn’t make it. What hurt most was the way some of the kids who did make it spoke about me, saying things like, “He’s just trying to get attention” or “He’s not good enough.” It made me feel like I didn’t belong, and that I wasn’t serious about the sport, even though I was. It took time, but I realized I couldn’t let their judgment define me. That experience taught me that people often judge without knowing the full story, so I try to be more understanding and open-minded with others. Today in class we started a new book called "Lesson before Death" . It seems pretty interesting
