Failures of kindness

I think that George Saunders is what he want to be because he said he wants people to be less selfish and by caring about that girl he is. Even though he said he never was rude to the girl or said anything mean. Plus he even defended her sometimes, yet he still felt bad for her and it kept bothering him because he is not selfish and he cares about other people.

Earth day Cleanup.

So recently I participated in helping my school and other schools clean up our neighborhood. The group I was in went to the local park. The workers there called us over knowing what we were doing and asked us to help them. So as a result of that we ending up filling up the their pickup truck with dirt, sticks and other garbage. Then after that we filled up the garden part of the park with mulch. Finnally after all the work we went back to our school were they were giving out food for everyone participating in the cleanup and we ate and then everyone went home except a few of my friends and me hung out for a while after. Going into this my objective was to help clean up all of the park but I only ended up cleaning up the garden area of the park but it was still fun helping clean and do work.

Beginnings and Ending.

The way I feel about this school year ending and the next one beginning is that I'm really excitied for spring break. Also I'm kinda nervous and happy to be going to high school. Plus I'm somewhat sad to be leaving Heritage Middle School but also happy to have finally made it through the whole 6th 7th and 8th grade here. Adding on to me being sad for leaving Heritage might be bad after summer vacation because once its over I need to prioritize the next school year to make sure I can do my best in it. Also the ending of this year can be fun because of Dinner Dance and the graduation ceremony.

Something that scares me.

Something that I will be starting soon that definitely scares me is my job. This job will be an Umpire for little league baseball games. The reason this scares me is because it will be a new experience. Also my younger sister (she's 12 now) played in little league softball so ive seen how mad some coaches/parents can get if you make a call they dont like. Plus to add on to all that I recently finished reading through all the rules that I have to memorize and just over all the responsibility this will be. But on the bright side it does pay so that's always good. Another thing I'm kindve scared about is that I will have to organize all my Umpire gear like my Face Mask, Chest Protecter, Umpire Bag, Homeplate brush, clicker and the Umpire shirt.
