PARCC testing

PARCC testing is very bad. I hate it. I sit in a room for one to two hours straight just writing. These standardize tests are just to find out how the school is doing. It doesn't even have grades for these tests. I do not like just being in a silent room with a bunch of other bored people taking a long test for 4 days straight. I would rather be learning for a longer day than be PARCC testing. At least in school, it will help me succeed. I would rather be in learning in prison than do PARCC testing. PARCC doesn't make any sense to me because sooner or later we will be learning the same stuff anyway.

Endings and Beginnings

An ending and beginnings mean big things. It can mean big or small things. I am sad that I have to leave my middle school life but I'm looking forward to high school. What I'm really going to miss is my soccer team. American Spirit. I played on that travel team for 6 years and  right now it's looking to be the last year I'm going to be there. I am going into high school now and I loved my soccer team. I started out in this little league called AYSO. It was a kick and run soccer league. Nothing good. I was better than the others so the league wanted my friends and me to go to Nashville to play in a tournament. I said let's go but the tourney was canceled but the coach said that he is building a new soccer team up and I wanted to join. WE started out with a full season of practice and then once the played the first game we lost. In fact my team went winless for 2 seasons. I started to recruit some new players like my friends and we made a new team and we went undefeated the next year. After that season I had played with a whole new team and we went back down again. Winless. Now this is my last year and I'm playing U14 and U16 games to play my age group and older kids too which I'm happy for.
