kids live on their own with no adults the oldest being 15 even the leaders are kids
40 days of chileren living on their own
4 leaders
The 4 leaders are only temporary
You can decide to give up and go home any time you want
Every few days you have to give a golden star to a child worth 20,000 dollars
The council can't tell anyone about the gold star because they don't wanna start a riot
The kids are surprised because there's nothing in the old houses and buildings
All the kids stsrted arguing as soon as they found the nation they just stared in with what to make for dinner and where is she gonna live and where is he gonna leave and how are we gonna make this place better for us to live in
Everyone was yelling at the cook's because they were taking too long to cook and nobody knew how to cook or clean or anything like that because they were all kids under 15 and didn't know how to do naything and the leaders are over wealmed because their trying really hard to get the rest of the nation to eork out and it's not working because they were just learning everything
The leaders just wanna prove that they can be leaders without any help and they can keep a nation going

THE 2ND DAY

They started getting eggs and goat milk on the 2nd day
The kids were hungry and started arguing with eachother on who got more food than who
Everyone was arguing with the leaders and the bigger kids were trying o get the leaders to ack down so that the older kids could become the new leaders
The leaders are thinking that Mikeal needs the gold star and now the rest of the nation will get oraganised
The kids are taking their notes and are seperating the people in to groups blue, red, yellow, and green
A lot of kids are really wanting to go home only on the second day

You have to grab a giant pipe and plug it in to the ground to get water and when you get the water out of the ground you have to catch your teams water color and fill all the bottles up if they fill all the bottles up in one hour they get a giant prize all together

Sofia got to call her parents because she won the gold star
Everyone is now determined to get a gold star

MY OPINION

Watching the kids struggle and work really inspired me becaus eif they can run a town with no adult help then the least I can do is help my parents out with the house because I have help at home and I have my parents and I only have my 1 house not an entire town.

Track

Picture From Here

I'm running track. The reason I am running track is to get back in shape for cross country. I like to run but my mile is a 8:29 and most of the girls are in the 6 minute mile 7 minute mile range. I am way behind. I am just hoping I can get back in to shape. Yesterday we did UCLA's which are jogging the curved part then sprinting a 100. I kinda wanna run 100's but i'm not sure is I can. There are a lot of track sprinters and I don't know if I can be one of them. I don't know that I could be distance either. I am just really hoping that I can be a sucsessful runner.

Bullying

Somehing that bugs me a lot is bullying. I don't understand why you have to make others feel bad about themselvees when your having a bad day. Just because their having a bad day doesnt mean that I have to have a bad day too. People bully me because im smaller than them, or maybe its because im a girl. one way or another they think that their going to get away with bullying. They don't just bully me they bully other people too. For example, at the zombie dance people were coming up to me and touching my arm with pencil erasers and it bothered me because they didn't need to be touching me. I asked them not very nicely to stop and probably should not have reacted the way I did because they kept on, and now they were laughing at my. Why? Because I was smaller than them and they got away with it, because of this factor.
I'm small but it's not my fault, I wish it would just stop.

The Fault in Our Stars

Picture from here

Im writing a sequal to a book called "The Fault in Our Stars" on an app called Wattpad. Wattpad is for young authors to write stories and sequals and prequals and try to figure out story information and writing format. The book I am writing a sequal to was origanally wrote By: John Green. The way he ends the book is sad and "unfinished" you could say. He ends it with a girl crying and looking for a sequal for a book, but she never gets the sequal. So I decided to write a sequal to cheer people who have read the book up a bit, make them happier that the book ended the way it does.

Ordinary

Picture From Here

I think that  this is incorrect because if everyones special then no ones special anymore. I mean if one kid likes reading and another likes sports since so many people like reading and sports that their talent isn't as special but it is ordinary. I think that Europe's statement is true because it lets people be ordinary. Without the bullying and teasing. I think this becasue kids get picked on because of the intrests. The kid that likes to read might get picked on by the kid that likes sports because they don't have the same intrests. But Europes policy says everyone has the right to be ordinary and the United States is everyone has the right to be special. While some people may htink that the United States is correct because it encourages you to chase your dreams, its not special if everyone has the same dream their chasing.
