Soon enough, I started making new friends at School. My kindergarten teacher Mrs Shumate remains to this day one my favorite teachers.

A Malaysian Airline, MH370 was declared missing. The plane had 239 passengers heading to Beijing. Unfortunately investigators tracked the part number and only ended up with the missing piece of the plane. It also seems that there are debris scattered all over the Indian Ocean and that proved to be a big challenge in tracing the spot where the plane went down. This mystery remains unsolved to this day in spite of having multiple countries joining in the search operations. This is very bizarre and mysterious given all the advancement in technology today. The incident has also led to a lot of conspiracy theories. I feel, this incident will let all the aviation companies across the world to work on further advancements in the technology area to provide better tracking systems that would alert the authorities under any critical situations.

On a morning in South Korea, a ship capsized due to several missteps taken by captain of the ship. This ship carried total of 304 passengers most of them school children on a field trip. It was a very sad event especially for the parents of the children who perished that day. The captain of the ship was very selfish by escaping to save his own life instead of trying to help other people on the ship. Had he assisted in the rescue operations, more people would have been saved. Towards the end, about 172 passengers were saved by the rescue team. This captain was prosecuted and sentenced to 36 years in prison.

FIRST DAY OF MIDDLE SCHOOL!!! There are several new rules that did not apply in Elementary school so I was feeling a little anxious about making sure I understand all these rules and ensure compliance to them. I was very excited to have a locker of my own, I had it all arranged to ensure I'am able to store important things that are needed for different classes during the day. One key requirement is to be punctual to classes and I wanted to make sure I always reach my classes on time. One of the things that I felt very happy and gave me a sense of getting older were when my parents bought me a new phone of my own. Now I can be in touch with my friends and parents at any time. However, this also requires me to use it responsibly. This brings me to one of the major rules at the school to not use phones in the hallways ,bathrooms or in the class. I am determined to work hard and do well this year.
