13 Reasons

I recently finished reading the book 13 Reasons Why the book is about this girl named Hanna Baker who commits suicide. She leaves 7 tapes behind to tell the story of why she killed herself. They story is from the point of view from he friend Clay Jensen. It follows how he feels about the stories on the tapes and what he thinks about her now that he knows what she went through. It also shows how other people can do things without knowing how they make other people feel. A few friends of hers do little things that slowly build up and others do things that make her feel inhumane that she lets them get away with their actions.

I would recommend this book to someone who likes a mystery book because it makes you wait for information about certain characters. The book is a quick read it took me about 3 days to finish and was very interesting. One thing I really enjoyed is the way she presented her stories she includes what the person did to her and how it affected her. She also showed how they felt about the incidents and how they changed her life.

High School Thoughts

I'm only a few weeks away from graduating from middle school and I'm nervous and excited. I'm nervous because Morton is a huge school and it's going to be hard to find my way around the school untill I get used to the building. Also I will be taking A.P. World History and all my other classes will be honors classes so they will be a lot more challenging than my classes here. Also my homework from those classes might cause me to lose some time to play basketball. The first couple of months are going to be the hardest because I have to get used to the building and the staff at Morton. I don't know most of the people from the others schools that are going to be there but I do know some Sophomores and a few Juniors so they could help me with memorizing the layout of the school. I'm excited about starting high school. I think it's going to be a good experience for my time there and I hope the people and staff are excited about the new school year. One goal I have for my time at Morton is to make varsity basketball. I love basketball and I hope I can improve my skills at my time at Morton.
