Today I had basketball practice! You don’t even know how long it’s been since the last time I touched a basketball. I felt so relieved when we got there, I added a lot of people on my contacts. I met some new kids, and I was trash at first. I was air balling a lot, not being serious, and being slow. But after the first couple of suicides and drills I got my mojo back. Well not exactly, you see since I have a late birthday I am put down a grade. So like if my birthday was on May 6th, (wow that was so random) I would’ve been in 7th grade. But since I’m not I’m in 6th grade, the only difference is that I’m older than most 6th graders at the beginning and middle of the school year. So when we split up in groups, one group is 8th-7th grade girls, and 5th-6th grade girls. You can probably guess what group I was in. But even though I was with the younger girls, I still played seriously. I sinked in a lot of shots, passed a lot, ran a lot, had good defense, and as a reward a 30 minute from scrimmage at the end. A 5v5 with 2 subs scrimmage. It was the regular, I was team caption but couldn’t pick my best friend because we were “too good” and it was “unfair”. So I picked four other decent girls. First to 15, my team won 15-11. The loser had to run 5 down and backs. At the end we all took two free throws then gathered up in a huddled with the older girls. We talked about new uniforms and sighing some “contract” for the new season. We then all said our goodbyes until next Thursday of course!
I hoped you all enjoyed today’s blog. Can’t wait to write my next blog!

April 2nd
Welcome back everyone, in this blog I will be continuing my schools Slice of Life challenge. I hope you enjoy.
So for today I would be getting a new phone case. Yeah I may have forgot to tell you this, but I didn’t have a phone until March 1st. And I’m a 12 year old who’s in 6th grade. Yeah my life was pretty depressing, but I’m not mad at my parents anymore. Ok now since that’s out the way, let’s continue the story. So my family decided to take me to the mall, and in the center if it there’s a guy who sells phone cases. After checking out a couple of iPhone cases (I have an Android) it was time to start picking. I already had told myself that the case had to be blue with a stand on the back. Why you may ask, why because my neck often hurts when I’m bending down at my phone. It may not seem normal, but you know for most of my life I had to use an iPad with no stand. Ok anyways, after looking for about 2 minutes, I decided to pick a baby blue case with white detailed flowers and symbols on it. I really liked it, and who cares if it was girly it still was cool to me. After we left I started showing it off to my younger siblings, and boy did it feel great. I just felt so much more superior than them hahahaha!
And that was my second blog of the challenge. I really hoped you enjoy, and by the way from now on I’ll just go straight into the blog. Sorry, but after the challenge I’ll make sure to greet you guys even more.

April 1st
Hello everyone, for the next couple of blogs I will be doing my schools Slice of Life challenge. It means I have to blog for all of the month of April. I hope you enjoy.
It was the start of my big break. To start it off, I had a softball scrimmage against 13-14 year old girls. Even though we got murdered, I still had a lot of fun. I was 3-4, a single, a single, a HBP (hit by pitch ), and a strikeout. My fielding was pretty good, I play catcher and I have a really good arm. I can move very fast even with all that gear on me. I stopped wild pitches by sacrificing my body. And I’m tough so I didn’t have as much bruises as I usually had. My team on defense was good, we may have missed out on some pretty easy outs, but we still were able to get out of the inning before the mercy rule. Our hitting was slow at the start, but at the end we were having a streak going on. On base I stole 4 bases, and an additional 2 for stealing home. Cause oh boy do I love sliding at home and getting dirty. At the end of the game we all got treats because in a couple of weeks we would get our uniforms and schedule to start the season. And i just cant wait to go up against Lagrange.
And that was my first official blog for the challenge. I hope you all can make it to my others!

My Book Reviews
Hey there, in this blog I will be talking about 4 books that I've really enjoyed reading.
Unstoppable: So this book is about a 14 year old boy who dominates his junior football team as their star running back. He has tons of friends and family who care for him. His dream was to be in the NFL, but something unexpectedly happens. He is diagnosed with bone cancer causing him to lose one of his legs. We then get to know a lot about Harrison’s (the main character) backstory. Like how he had abusived parents, he killed his past father Mr. Constable, and how he can be a very angry boy. So with the help of his friends and family (supporting characters), can he become an unstoppable running back once again? My rating for this book would be a 5/5 guaranteed. I recommend this book to 5th-8th graders who enjoy reading sport chapter books.
The Big Time: This book is about a boy named Troy who is a great athletic all-around football player. His dream is to have enough money for college so he can be easily scouted by the NFL. He also wants to buy his mom a nice house and car cause she’s the only family he’s got. But then all of a sudden, man comes through his door one day saying he is Troy’s father. The truth is, he is! But he has abandoned Troy and his mother. Will Troy accept his father and have a chance at getting into to the NFL? My rating would be a 5/5 guaranteed. I recommend this book to 5th-8th graders who enjoy reading sport chapter books.
Deep Zone: Troy White who is the star quarterback on his team seems unstoppable. His older brother Thane plays for the Jets who inspires Troy. His best friend Tate is always there for Troy. Until Ty Lewis comes and makes Troy’s life miserable. When these two battle it out, all chaos breaks loose. Who will come on top? And who will take Tate home as a prize? I give this a 4/5 just because I can get bored at some times. I recommend this book to 5th-8th graders who enjoy reading sport chapter books.
Out Of Left Field: This book is about a girl named Katy Gordan who is the best pitcher in her neighborhood. But when she tryouts for Little League, she does great but since she’s a girl, she isn’t allowed to play. Why, because baseball has always been a boys game, no matter how good you are and you’re a girl, you won’t get to play baseball. But after Katy starts doing some research, she finds out there’s a lot of unknown girls baseball players. She has a lot of question how nobody remembers these woman. But can this 10 year old girl change Little League rules? I give this a 5/5 guaranteed, you will never get bored from this book. I recommend this book to 5th-8th grade girls who enjoy reading sport chapter books.
And those were my book reviews, I hope you enjoyed my blogs for today!

Blackfish and Orca’s Review
Hi there, in this blog I will be talking about these 3 articles I have read about SeaWorld and Blackfish.
So I learned that SeaWorld has just had their very last baby whale this year. I learned that they will stop taking in whales by 2019 because this supposedly upsets people. It even upsets a group of people called PETA, there are people who take care and treat animals. I learned that places like San Diego, have built larger pools for their whales. I also learned that there was a movie called “Blackfish” made in 2013 that describes SeaWorld treating whales poorly. The movie says how whales living in parks is bad. But SeaWorld says how they provide a safe home for more than 29 orcas. I’ve also learned which has surprised me that female whales live up to 90 years, and male whales live up to 70 years!
From all this information, this tells me that no matter how much SeaWorld provides help for orcas, they need to let them go so they can love in their natural habitats. People that visit SeaWorld are angered by this, a professional group is angered by this, even a movie was made about this. That is why by 2019, SeaWorld will not be having anymore whale shows, and will not be taking in anymore whales.
Thank you for reading my review on my articles, and I hope you enjoyed the blog for today.

Should We Have School Uniforms?
Hi there, in this blog a question will be answered by yours truly. Should we or should we not have school uniforms? In these 3 bullet points I will be saying why we shouldn’t. I hope you enjoy!
And those were my 3 bullet points on why we shouldn’t have school uniforms. And if you agreed with my reasons, you can also share your opinion to others.
Sincerely,
Aaliyah K.
- School uniforms can be too expensive especially if you have siblings. If you were to pay for you and your sibilings school uniform, the cost will probably be over $100.
- You can be uncomfortable since you grow a lot in 6th grade. Or in other words, go through a growth spurt. Because if this, it can be a bad distraction for you learning.
- My last reason is that you won’t be able to show off your own fashion. Instead of expressing yourself to others about who you really are, you’ll have to wear the same shirt and pants everyday until you finish 8th grade.
And those were my 3 bullet points on why we shouldn’t have school uniforms. And if you agreed with my reasons, you can also share your opinion to others.

My One Word
Hello there, it’s been a while but I’m back. To get things started, Merry Late Christmas! Happy Late New Year everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed 2018, but now it is another year for more fun. So you may all know that people instead of doing a New Year’s Resolution, do a One Word that basically describes what they’re going to do in 2019. So today I will be introducing you all to my One Word, describing what it means and what I am going to do through 2019! I hope you enjoy this blog.
Not since that’s settled let’s get down to business. My One Word of 2019 is.............. Self-Care! I picked this word not only because I kept getting it in trivia’s, but I thought it might drastically improve my life.
So if you don’t know what self care is let me tell you. Self-care is obviously taking care of yourself. Yeah it’s good to care about others but sometimes you need time to yourself so you can for yourself. Physically, mentally, body, brain, health, and other stuff about you. And you can do this wherever like in your house or school, or outside, or maybe even on a vacation you can have self care.
So the part how I said that this could drastically improve my life, is actually true. So I gotta tell you, I am not really the perfect kind of person you could picture me. Sometimes I can get out of hand. Like not paying attention or not listening at home and school. Yeah, sometimes I can be a really pain. But with this, I won’t be a pain no more. I will change and be a different person that you can count on and be friends with. So with this I will take more time to myself by making reading a book I like, or watching anime (I’m obsessed with it), I might be using my PS4 (no, I don’t play Fortnite), or I just locked myself in a room that I can sleep in. But while I’m doing this, I’ll make sure I have nothing to do so nothing can get in the way of my laziness!
I hoped you enjoyed this blog for today, sorry about my big break but I’m just glad I’m back. Just a daily reminder though, 5 more months until school ends!
