This is a photo from Halloween of me and three of my best friends. This is my favorite celebration because we get to dress up together every year and have a great time. This year we all decided to dress up as Winnie the Pooh characters and we had a blast making our costumes and dressing up together. We all walked around on Halloween and gathered candy with one another. I love times like this with my friends because it is good bonding. Spend every chance you get with your close friends because they are the ones who will be by your side through a lot!

Every year, my family celebrates all different holidays. From starting at New Years to going through Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. We celebrate these because of the many things they mean to all of us. It is the time of year where we celebrate Christ and spend a lot of family time. I often go see my father because I rarely see him and that is the time I go. I also get to spend time with family who I have not seen in a while. During these holidays, we get breaks so I do some of my favorite things on the events, eating, celebrating, and watching movies. We always decorate for each holiday as a family. All of these holidays mean something special! Cherish every moment with your family!

As most of you know from reading my blogs, I play volleyball. During volleyball, we like to build our muscles throughout our body. So, as a team, we workout in the weight room all throughout the week. We also do running drills to make us faster. Below is a list of good workouts to do to build your leg and arm muscles and to keep you in shape…

1. Dot Drill
2. Bench Press
3. Squats with Bar
4. Lunges
5. Dumbbell step ups
6. Russian Twists
7. Agility Workouts

(Agility is ladders, cones, and jump ropes.)

Some running drills are:

1. 8,6,4,2
2. Circuits
3. 5 to Survive

We do different workouts each day, all of these help build your muscles. Watch for my next blogs to see more great workouts and drills!

A video that always draws my interest is watching how to make a volcano. I find it very interesting how they are made and the materials used to make the lava come out of it. Below is a video on how to make a volcano and how to make it erupt!

“Single Use” this is a word that not many people have heard about. It is a good word because it means that things get recycled and reused. Instead of being wasteful, they reuse objects to use less resources on things. Have you ever heard the other word “Plogging?” This is a word that means picking up other people’s litter while jogging. This is a good word because picking up trash is a great everyday thing to do. Rather you are walking or jogging, never leave trash laying on the ground even if it is not yours!

I have always wondered if dogs really have the cleanest mouths. Is it true? Although they do get in garbage cans and things that most humans will not put their mouths on. The dog’s mouth does have the ability to heal any wound that a human may have, but they still have nasty mouths. There are so many different opinions on this questions. Many people give their dogs kisses, I do not. Dogs put their mouths on many different things and it can often make a human sick. Are you willing to risk that? I believe dogs have nasty mouths, even if some may disagree with me. Leave a comment with what you think on this topic and let me know what you are curious about!

Can you guess which one is a lie?

When giving 110% every time you are on the court, it comes with good things. In practice, you should work just as hard as you would do in a game. You should never give anything less than heart and hustle. If you love the game, you should give effort like you love it. The outcomes are what everyone strives for. From winning big tournaments, games, championships, everything, that is what you should want every single time. Stepping out onto that court is an honor, you never know when your last game is going to be. Some of your team mates might not get as much playing time as you, but they sit the bench and wish they were out there playing, so always give 110. When you don’t work hard, you not only cheat yourself, but you cheat your team as well. If everyone is working hard and is wanting to win, but you aren’t, then that is not really fair to your team. It shouldn’t be your team, it’s your family. I have a bond with my team like no other, I don’t call them my team, I call them my family because I’ve worked hard with these girls and push towards everything with them. We strive for what we want and work hard to get there. Always remember to never give anything less than what you think is perfect!

My favorite book would have to be the books that are “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” by the author of Jeff Kinney. They are often funny and really good comic books! I can relate to “the kid” because I like to write a diary of some of the things I do. I am also a person who can make whatever I am doing turn into something funny. I am like this character. Everyone has a favorite book, maybe not. I really do not like to read unless I am made to do so. I only read these books because they are comical and keep me interested. I hope some day you check out “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” books because in my opinion, they are great!
