This year I can't wait to finish school and finally experience summer break again. School has been exhausting me a lot. Work, essays, word problems, and more. This summer break, my dad is planning to go to Hawaii. It would be a reward from dealing with A LOT of exhaustion. We have also been wanting to go since 3 years ago, but we did not have the time back then.

This year I can't wait until school is over. I want to be able to relax and take a break from school. Over the summer I am going to visit my family in Mexico and spend most of my time there. I am also going to go to Kemah to celebrate my little brother's birthday because we couldn't go last year due to the cold weather. I am excited to pass 6th grade because I will get to experience new things.

The best thing that happened to me this past year was passing fifth grade and getting into sixth grade. The reason that was the best thing that happened to me in the past year was that my reading teacher and my science teacher weren't the best teachers and my math teacher was my favorite teacher out of all of them. But my science teacher wasn't the best because most of the time she wouldn't even teach us anything we would have to look at what she posted on Google Classroom and try to learn the material. What she did most of the time was show my class a video and then give us work to do for the rest of class but it was worse when expected us to write a five-paragraph essay in an hour with barely any information, and she also sometimes gave us attitude. But luckily my new reading teacher and science are good at their jobs and are nice teachers.

Before I turn 20, I would like to join a soccer club because I enjoy soccer, and you could become a billionaire. I will get a job as a Chick-fil-A cashier to save some money and get at least an apartment. I am sure that after this my career of being a soccer player will pay off. This is what I want to happen before my 20 years, but after 20 I'm guessing more.

This year, I can't wait to enjoy my birthday because I'm going to Mexico for a few days and celebrating there with my cousins. I get to visit them and get gifts and I can't wait for summer because I'm going to go to Mexico again for the whole summer and I get to go with my cousins and my friends that live there. I also get to fight with my cousins I don't know why but I just like hurting them and sometimes I make them cry but It doesn't matter.

This new year I can't wait for Halloween. Every year my siblings and I go out to trick or treat but my little sister is coming this year. Last year she didn't go with us because she was only a year old and it was cold. Last year my friend Noah Came with us and we had so much fun fighting and eating after trick or treating. I can not wait to start picking out my and my little sister's costume.

The best thing that has happened to me this past year was going to Colorado. It was really fun because me and my family like snow so we really enjoyed it. I also got the chance to ski which was really fun, but my brother and dad wanted to snowboard instead so now I kind of want to try it. Even tho my mom could not ski because she was pregnant, she said she still enjoyed the trip. I am so grateful that I could spend time with my family on such a beautiful vacation.

Choice 1- Brianna Cantu

The best thing that happened in 2024 was meeting my best friends. I met Theresa Borjon on the bus on the first day of school! We had instintly hit it off. Then, I met my other best friend Mya Evans around September. We also went on the same bus but started talking in Science class. All three of us became unseprable best friends!

Also, this past year found out my aunt was having a baby and I was super happy! The gender reveal was exciting, it turned out to be a boy and my cousin and I picked his name. I chose Jacob scince it's biblical and I want the baby to be full of the holy spirit, and my cousin chose Gael because it was short. I'm so glad I'm having a new cousin soon that I will love and cherish!

Lastly, I'm glad I made it to middle school without being bullied or anything. I'm surprised to have a good time here because many people told me it wasn't a good school. I have great teachers and amazing frieds! Middle school isn't that hard either! I had great memories in 2024 in this school.

Also, I want to play with friends and cousins so I can get better at anything with multiple people like sports and games. Next, I need to pay attention more and not interupt class. Last, I can't wait to go to 7th grade and meet new people to become friends. This is what I want to do this and hopefully accomplish everything on this list.

This year, I can't wait to go to 7th grade and turn 13. I want to go to 7th grade because I can play football for the school team. Turning 13 is a huge thing for me because I'm finally going to be a teenager. Playing for the Cunningham football team has been my dream since 4th grade. I always had a bond with football. When I turn 13 I'm going to be so excited because I can finally say I'm a teenager instead of a pre-teen.

The best thing that happened to me this past year was my first time going to Mexico.

My dad, mom, brother, and myself finally got our papers to go to Mexico. It was a long journey with four people in a car. When we were almost there there were a lot of mountains, so I took pictures to remember. When we got to the house everyone greeted each other, and had a great time catching up with one another. That was the best thing that happened to me this past year.

The best thing that happened to me this past year was my birthday. My family and I decided to do something at home, like a seafood boil. We had red velvet cake for dessert and opened presents after we went into the pool (don't worry, it was hot during summer). I am happy that I got to spend time with my family more than just being on my phone all day.

So this is why I am excited this year, I just cant wait to go to Mexico.

the best thing that happened to me the past year was when I got to see my aunt for the first time in over 3 years. I could not see her because my parents didn't have the time to fly to Mexico and my aunt couldn't fly to America due to her not being a US citizen. Because of that, she ended up working hard and getting the approval to go into America and come visit us. I didn't know she was coming over so when I got home after being at a friend's house I was so happy to see her. She ended up staying for 2 weeks until she had to go back. She left me a note on my board because I let her stay in my room and I still haven't erased it.

Before I turn 20, I would like to accomplish five important goals five important goals. Firstly, I want to learn to play the violin and the piano. Music has always been a passion of mine, and I believe that mastering these instruments will not only enhance my skills but also bring me great joy.

Secondly, I aspire to dedicate significant time to my studies to pursue a career in healthcare. Whether I become a nurse, therapist, or veterinarian, I want to equip myself with the knowledge and skills necessary to help others and positively impact their lives. I plan to explore various educational programs and seek out volunteer opportunities that can provide me with valuable experience in these fields.

Third, I want to focus on improving my skills as an artist. Over the past few years, I’ve become so caught up in schoolwork that I haven't had much time to explore my creative side. I miss the joy and fulfilment that art used to bring me. By classifying my artistic development, I hope to rediscover that passion. Because this can positively impact other areas of my life.

Fourth, I would love to visit other places in this world! I want to visit other people, and other places, I want to learn new things that people do that I never thought existed!

lastly, I want to go to the shooting range with my father because for this Christmas my father got a shotgun for who knows what reason and I've been begging him to bring me there, so that's my final request.

I can't wait to get out of school this new year and for my birthday. I can't wait for my birthday because I can't wait for all the attention to be on me instead of my brothers. Every year I get treated like I'm a boy and my brothers get treated like girls except for on my birthday and Christmas. I also can't wait to get out of school because every morning I have to wake up at three in the morning because my mom has to go to work and I have to get back up at six so my driver can come at six thirty. I don't go back to sleep until four so after three I have two more hours to sleep and I usually already have my school clothes and shoes on so when my ride does come I just hop out of bed after I'm done brushing my teeth. When I get out of school I can wake up at three with my mom and sleep for as long as I want, plus I won't have to do work all the letters make my brain hurt.
