I went to Kaseya Center to watch a Heat game against the Jazz for my friend’s birthday. 🤩

This was during Halloween 2023, I was trick or treating with my brother and visited my friend’s house and he had healthy “candy”. I annoyed him about that for a while.

This is my Spotify playlist right now. Hopefully in the future I have intensely expanded my music taste and have the best music taste. The Box is always first🔥

My favorite game OAT 🔥. I hope I keep this same opinion and I play consistently. And please not torture myself with COD anymore. 🙏

During 7th grade and the beginning of 8th grade, I was really the only one who used a Nintendo switch to play games. All my friends had PS5s, Xbox’s, and PCs, while I barely survived on a Nintendo Switch. I still destroyed them though 😎.

This shows how popular Kanye West is, and my obsession with him in the beginning of 8th grade. I loved his music and listened to most of his albums.

This was a photo I took when I was on a cruise during winter break. I did fall of the stairs hours after and ruined the next two months.

After a lonely stay in India for a month, I came back to the US to start 8th grade. I wasn’t nervous, but looking forward to seeing my friends again. And looking back at it, I am happy I acted like that cause it made the transition into 8th grade smooth. Really, it at the beginning felt mostly like 7th grade, and it still dies at the end of the year. And writing this now at the end of the year, I have to say that 8th grade was easy. All my subjects were easy, with earning all A’s every quarter. Teachers were great, mainly how the best ones balanced out the annoying ones. I love science because of my friends and my teacher, even though I suck at science. I hated Comp and Grammer, mainly with the tedious amount of work. A lot has changed, from my lazy life in 7th to now a full schedule that is to come in 9th grade. On the 8th, I joined clubs, NJHS, did scholarship tests, enrolled in Summer Research, so I’m preparing myself for that. The past was nice, and the future will be exciting, and hopefully I will be doing the best.

Fires ignite fields near the Donetsk village; this happened months before the village capture.

Russia says it has captured another Donetsk village after Ukraine pulls back forces in the east. Ukraine and Russia has been a problem since 6th grade. Everyone worried and supported Ukraine in the first year, but died down so fast and now no one really mentions about it that much anymore. I hope this unnecessary conflict ends and people stop dying and cities stop being destroyed.

This was a flood in Fort Myers, Florida caused by Hurricane Ian in 2022.

Why countries are choosing to build new cities in places at high risk of worsening floods. Floods are more and more common because of the ice caps melting in the poles. This causes the water levels to rise and then evaporate and cause an abundance in rain. We are now facing our mistakes in the past and I hope that we can restore our earth and revert our effects on climate change.

A lot outside of school has changed since 7th grade. I’ve grown my music taste and now I know not only music artists and popular songs, but explore new artists and understand their lyrics. I’m very happy about my progress so far and I hope I’ll have an insane music taste by the time I am reading this in the future. Another thing that has changed is sports. I don’t do sports all the time, but I care about it and I am interested. I got into boxing and basketball, very different sports I know, but they are fascinating. The boxing styles and how much damage people can do is mind-blowing. The technique, accuracy, and team-play of basketball makes it fun with friends or just by yourself. I also hope I play one of these regularly and become athletically active. The final thing is my friends; I’ve grown closer and I’m not always at home anymore. I go out to their houses or meet up at places; I’ve gone to a Heat game and went to a States Tourney for S&D with some of them. I’ve grown much as a person both mentally and physically, and I finally hope I can grow to be someone who I will be satisfied with.

This is my drawing of one of Kanye’s albums, and I love it. This expresses my love not only for music, but for art. Of course, I didn’t actually try on this, it was a joke. Please future me keep this was my wallpaper forever 🙏.

I was relaxing on a beach during my stay in Nassau, Bahamas. It was the calmest I’ve ever been.

I found a cyber truck a couple of days after hearing that Tesla has started shipping. It was bigger than I thought, but it looks clunky, made of 6 polygons.
