I don't know what you were thinking when you thought you had no homework on your first day of school! Never do that again, and always remember to ask question when you don't know something, don't be shy. Past self, you should have been less shy when it came to asking questions in class or if you needed help, because it left you confused on what to do so many times. You should have talked more and should have been more active in class. Only completing assignments can get you an A or B in class, you also need participation points. Also, you shouldn't have hidden half of your face behind your scarf most of the time. So take my advice and never ever not ask questions and be a little bit more confident!

Amazing thing you started to open up a little because if I didn't I would have no friends or acquaintances. I never thought showing amiable behavior towards everyone would land my some close friends. I always thought since most of classmates were here for a long while and already had their friends groups they wouldn't want to add a new friend in their clique, so I was always so solemn, never friendly. But I was erroneous... so- wrong. When I started to break out of my shell I began to become friends with Briana, Tyonnie, Peculiar, Sally,Diamond, and etc....I was friends with the majority of the 8th grade when I opened up and stopped my shy act. So past me, you don't have to self-doubt yourself when it comes to making friends because their are many people who would enjoy being your friend.

Never ever put your alarm on low again because that caused you to sleep all the way past 7' o'clock! This made you very late to school and I missed most of the first class, so I missed part of the lesson on linear equations, something you struggled on. This caused me to be behind in class, which was egregious. Not knowing what the teacher was talking about and being left completely clueless annoyed me to no limit. To make it worse the tardy was unexcused, which means it would be stamped on my transcripts permanently, forever,etc....My goal was not to have one single late or tardy during the school year(which is almost impossible) and on that day that goal went down the drain. I was so angry at myself for forgetting, but I had to get over it because life moves on and people forget and make mistakes continuously. Therefore, always double check your volume on your alarm and don't get angry over petty things because getting angry isn't going to resolve or change what is already done the saying "the past is in the past" fits in perfectly.

Time management.......is something that you really struggled with in the beginning. Everyday you would procrastinate on doing assignments like homework and such. I would start doing my homework around seven and it was done half-heartedly and that isn't something I am proud of. I was honestly really lazy in the beginning because I still felt like summer was still here and I don't really do anything in the summer. I used to waste time like I had all of the time in the world. That was a gigantic mistake because I still feel like I started off on the wrong foot.So never do that again and be mindful that time does not wait for you, you wait for it.

Welcome to my E-Portfolio

Hello, my name is Abiba B. Guira and I am a 8th grade student at Lady Liberty Academy Charter School.This is my last year at a middle school and next would be my journey in high school. Throughout, all of elementary and lower middle school I wasn't really known as the trouble-maker and such I was always the quiet kid who always does her work.But,now in 8th grade I am starting to break out of the shell. This demonstrates how much I have grown since I was in kindergarten, back then I would only speak if I had to, for instance when a teacher called me to answer a question.
Creating this  portfolio would help show how I have grown from the beginning of my 8th grade year to end of it. I believe making this e-portfolio will help me find my voice as a writer, since I want to master that before I leave middle school. This e-portfolio could help me in the "real world" because maybe some of my best pieces could be here on this padlet. This could help me show some  high school's what kind of an author I am and  when I have to write an essay for  them , this will show how I have mastered writing because of my practice on this padlet. To whom ever reads this I want you to be able to identify what kind of person I am or get the gist of my identity when you read my padlet, so I hope to accomplish this goal. Lastly, thank you reader's for taking the time to read my e-portfolio and I hope you like what you see.

Sincerely,
Abiba Guira

2. Or maybe you could write a poem about that time you met a friend at a cafe.*

Myself and Kim met at some random cafe.

It was the day she was having a small birthday party.

We met their to catch up on each others lives, in the summer.

We had so much fun chatting and laughing.

We did not notice the time passing.

It was nice having this moment with her.

I nor she did this regularly.

This reminded me when I first met Kim.

She was amiable to me when I first entered Merit Prep.

This meeting at the cafe made our friendship better.

Yet, that was one of our last moments together.

Since, we went our separate ways, to different schools.

So, I am glad we met up at that random cafe.

1. What's the weather outside your window doing right now? If that's not inspiring, what's the weather like somewhere you wish you could be?

To commence, the weather outside of my window is that their is hard rain pouring. To summarize, the weather isn't a weather where you would want to go outside, unless you like getting your clothes soaked. The aura of the weather outside is gloomy, in my opinion. In the words of Reklamador.com, "Just another rainy day." This demonstrates how I feel about the weather outside, how I wish today's weather wasn't like this. Moreover, somewhere I wish I could be is in South Korea where the weather is calm and clear, the weather their is perfect, I wish I could be their. Thus, this is the weather outside of my window.

(Sitting down) " You guys won't believe what happened to me today?" "What happened mama?" "I was walking down the street and this group of white teenagers called me a nigger, out of nowhere!" "What really?" "Yes and I have never been called that ever, I have been looked at a certain way by white people, but I have never been called a nigger! These white folk around here are disrespectful and should stop acting so full of themselves." " Yeah, they are." "What gives them the right to call me out of my name. All I was doing was walking down the street,to get to work. I wasn't bothering no body or wasn't causing any conflict, so why did they disrespect me like that." " I don't know mama but it's alright, you know that you aren't a nigger." " How can I ignore something like that I mean, if we were to call them out their names ,we could get killed. It just ain't fair how life is for colored people and the fact that we can't do anything about it is even worse."(Sigh)

To commence, I do not believe that growing up in a certain place shapes who you are. To summarize, everyone is unique and have different personalities, so we shape who we are not our neighborhood. I live in Newark, where there's crimes happening left and right, so just because their are many criminals or crimes occurring in my community does not mean I will turn out to be a criminal or apart of a crime. In the words of Neighborhood scout, " For Newark, we found that the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, across communities of all sizes (both large and small). Violent offenses tracked included rape, murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, armed robbery, and aggravated assault, including assault with a deadly weapon." These are some truthful facts happen in my community. Though all of this surrounds me, I am my own person and I decide who I want to be, everyone has a choice, and I chose not to be like the people who surround me. Thus, this is why I believe my neighborhood or any neighborhood does not shape who you are.

To begin, my neighborhood does not define, I define myself. Where I live can not control my personality. Even if I grew up somewhere else. To me you are who you are that's who you were born to be. So, now place, person, or thing can affect that. For an example, if your father was a robber, and you grew up around other robbers, but you have a passion for something else and do not like robbing. This example shows that how you act and such can be different from how the people who surrounds you act. People are different and will always be.

Writing isn't really something I think I have mastered yet. Throughout, elementary and early middle school writing wasn't really something I did well in. Rarely, I would get an A on a writing assignment, the average grade on almost every one of my writing pieces would be a B and that isn't something that I would be proud of to show my parents, their expectations for me are higher than that.

In 7th grade, I begin to get a little bit better at writing. The only real problem I had was grammar and that took a tole on my final grade for essays and short stories, etc....My writing journey isn't really over yet, and I believe it will never be really over because writing is an essential skill in life.  Anyway's, by the end of my 8th grade year Ms.Turner promised all 8th grade students that we will have master writing and more in her class to get ready for high school. I have a vehemently that she is telling the truth, at least I hope so.

Strengths? As an author? I think my only strength as an author is writing informative essay's. In these essay's almost everything is evidence based with your opinion of somethings. I find these easier to write than writing something that is completely your own opinion. Thus, as my writing journey continues I hope to have more strengths than my only one.

I books that I would like to read are:
1.Hunger Games Series

2.The Percy Jackson Series

3.Everything Everything

4.Cell Phone Swap

5.Cross My Heart and Hope to Lie
I want to read all of these books because most people's feedback is that these are really good books and have interesting plots and settings. I have read some of the series in the Hunger Games and Percy Jackson books but I haven't completed reading them. I love reading books because it gives my an escape from reality, every time I read I feel as if I am in the book,especially when I read genre's like action, romance, and science fiction. I think my weakness as a reader is pronouncing complex words, but my strength is being able to comprehend what the reader is implying most of the time.

I am stuck between a girly-girl and a tomboy.
I don't like sports or wearing dresses. But, at the same time I like to paint my nails and get my hair done. I think of myself as a nerd/geek. Reading books is my hobby and watching anime is too.This is who I am a girl in this world with no "category."
P.S
* My favorite things to do is to read, draw anime,watch anime, read manga, write poems, discovering something new, watch my mom cook, and eat.
