The one thing that I learned in seventh grade that will make me a better person is to not get frustrated . This is because everything is not that easy and things will be challenging. I need to not be so hard on myself and just be open about things. To not to get so frustrated and just relax when I am taking tests and doing homework.
December This is hollings worst month because he plays Ariel and Doug Swieteck's brother post pictures all over the school. This was embarrassing because it was a picture of him in yellow tights and white feathers on the butt. Another reason why is because Micky mantle refuses to sign Hollings baseball.
June This was holling's best month because Mrs.Baker took the whole class camping. Also Holling stood up to his dad about how he didn't want to be an architect. Lastly Holling saw Lt. Baker come home and see his wife for the first time in a long time. It brought back memories of him and Meryl lees first kiss.
The war that Holling fought the whole year was becoming allies with Mrs.Baker and sticking up to his dad. Mrs.baker was really his Allie all along and his family wasn't. He thought that Mrs.Baker hated his guts even though she didn't. Also his dad was always saying that they had to be perfect and that Holling had to be like him.
Hollings school year would have to be a B- or a C+. This is because he had his ups and downs just like a regular person. From having to rescue his sister to having his first kiss. From having Mrs.Baker ""hating"" him to them being really close. Holling has come a long way in this novel. From having the ""perfect"" family his dad wanted it to be to Holling standing up to his dad and telling him that it's not perfect.
The gutsiest thing that Holling does is when he sticks up to his dad at the end of the novel. Telling his Dad that he isn't perfect and that he doesn't want to be an architect. That he doesn't want to be just like his dad.
My kindergarten teacher at my catholic school was the person who inspired me. This was because at this point in my life my parents were getting a divorce. I was so sad and felt that I had to choose which parent I loved more. That I wouldn't be like any other kids. That it was only me that went through this. That I had to move schools and not have anyone to talk to once I got into 1st grade. That I would never see Mrs.Piccolo ever again and that my life would be ruined. This was because she was the only person I could talk to that I couldn't talk to anyone else. So she made me a stronger student and person. From being that shy and quiet little girl, to a confident and loud teen. Thank you Mrs. piccolo for everything that you did for me. From staying after school to let me get out my emotions. To getting me pizza when I stayed for after care. This was because my mom couldn't get out of work in time and it was dinner time. You were like my mom, and I love seeing you when I can.
