Graduation speech

*Before I actually begin this speech I would like to say that, yes, I'm graduating from my middle school and every time I would like to say the School's name I will put [School name] for safety reasons thanks for reading.

Hello [School name], my name is Alex and I'm sure you know that most if not everyone of the 8th graders and 8th grade team knows it. Most of my friends and acquaintances also know me as a gamer and the name itself just means I play video games, obviously, and in those games I get achievements for doing certain things like finishing the game or beating an enemy and usually it's a difficult task that rewards with points based on how the game designers think how much it's worth such as 500 or 1000 points and today everyone of you, my friends, my classmates all got an achievement for beating the game know as 8th grade.
So what does mean this mean for the future? Well I never said that you stop getting achievements and I never said you had to be a completionist but some if not all of you strive to be a completionist, to be the best of whats expected and to finish the journey of life with the highest amount of points and be on top of everything else rather than just completing and doing what's expected.
All in all achievements are what we strive for they make us feel content with ourselves and give a meaning for us to keep pushing on rather than turning off the game and never playing again, but today classmates you and I beat the game of 8th grade and now it's time to play a new game called high school, a harder version of 8th grade with new ideas but with the same concept and pretty soon we'll be playing College the final game in the series and then play a new series called Life where you see yourself starting a family and getting a good paying job and all in all being happy.
And now I think it's time to say that you just unlocked this achievement.

The game that's been sweeping the nation with faster pulses and even faster reflexes

So if you're school hasn't been living under a Dwayne Johnson then you probably have heard of Kahoot or even better have played it so why am I bringing this up, well to the people who read this god-awful blog you will now find out that I have a Kahoot and in fact I have a new one which you can play right here:

 https://play.kahoot.it/#/k/ff3d289c-c14a-40ba-864c-c2746801c96e

So I hope you enjoy it, it's really easy, tell me your thoughts about my Kahoot, Kahoot in general, or testing/quizzes. I try to read and respond to the comments but I'm not making money off of this and I've only hit 2 or 3 continents of about 3 people from each one (sorry to those in those continents please don't be offended) so comments are scarce besides a few people (not talking about my buddies and classmates just random people from random blogs not people I am personally affiliated with).

The TRUE ending to Harry Potter

Suddenly Harry awoke to the sound of his parents making breakfast, he gladly accepted that his parents were alive and that they were "muggles" although he was sad that his adventures with his friends in "Hogwarts" were all in his imagination. Harry then thought to himself what he really would do in situations like the ones he had in his dreams. But Harry also remembered not to dwell on the thoughts of the imagination as they do not exist. 

Field Trips+Can we have more

                 So recently our class went on a field trip to the Holocaust museum...yeah such a "happy" trip it greatly increased our morale . But then I got to thinking why can't we go on more? Obviously it's the field trip budget problem in my school and none of the students are oblivious to that fact and, in reality I don't mind it at all it's really OK with me as I'm used to it by now not going on field trips as really it;s not a big deal. Oh sure you might say that "It's a fun time being away from school for a day and lets focus on that "for a day"it's one day away from school and no you aren't home doing whatever you want you are on a paid trip to the whatever area to the "insert subject" museum yes it might be fun but really you are still learning. And don't get me wrong I do enjoy museums, in fact I'm going to a few over my spring break, but when you compare to something like missing school you really do lose your argument there because, once again, you're learning. Well that's enough ranting about field trips I hope all of you who actually take the time to read this (still waiting on someone from Russia to read this) enjoyed my rant, man it felt good to get that off my chest.

Dear Diary,

     I have realized that it has been a long time since I've felt the touch of sun on my skin as the winter continues the sun does not shine but today was one of the first days I have felt the sunlight here. I have also realized that our History test on WWII is tomorrow I almost always get a good grade and for the past 2 quarters I've gotten A's as my overall grade so I believe I can do the same this quarter and hopefully I can ace this test as well it seems easy enough just common sense and remembering what we learned. But back to today the weather is perfect sunshine perfect 7 A.M. weather and feel, a feel or aura you can't exactly describe it its just something you experience, it was 50 degrees F and accidentally wore a heavy/warm coat so when I did go outside I unzipped it.

    Also today I saw NSP released their new cover album on Spotify and I already put it into my playlist in fact I'm listening to it now specifically "Misunderstanding" and Danny Avidan's voice is amazing especially in this album. I had a hard time sleeping last night I tried listening to music and tried so many things but eventually I fell asleep at 3:00 A.M. so technically it has to do with today but for some reason I am bright and early to wake up no yawning, no stretching, nothing I have no idea how I am doing this.
    But the day is soon to end now my classes were the same all except for Gym where we had a lot of fun playing Frisbee, Diego accidentally hit Moiz in the chest but they laughed it off they are friends after all. Besides that my day was the same, same classes same subjects, etc., etc., but in the end it was an alright day.

"Don't quote me on that"- Anonymous, 20XX

"Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is essential to a Jedi's life. So you might say that we are encouraged to love."-Anakin Skywalker, Star Wars

Why is this quote important to me? Well besides being from Star Wars this really connects with because even a powerful person, such as a Jedi, needs love to stay sane and I believe that is truly beautiful. Why did I choose this quote out of all the others? Again, besides being from Star Wars, you can learn a lot from this quote such as knowing how large compassion really is "...unconditional love..." love can be so powerful it is beyond any normal conditions showing that this may be the most powerful force (besides the other one) and I think that with this we can see beyond the boundaries of love to see that it's more than just a word to see that it is an emotion within us all. "...is essential to a Jedi's life." love is so powerful it is needed to survive, not just in a fictional world but in reality, we need love to continue the human race and to continue the race of all species living within our ecosystem(s). In conclusion, love is needed to live and to be happy for all of our sakes, so go out there and tell your parent or guardian or whoever is near and dear to your heart "I love you" or something among those lines and really mean it, trust me it'll make them happy.

HE DID IT

Finally Leonardo DiCaprio won the Oscar he deserves. But now what meme can we make out of Leo? I realize there are a lot of other important topics and/or memes but Leo not getting the Oscar was pretty funny at times and now he has no meme of him. We can look at the past and laugh at how he came close to it but never got it but in reality he did get it just yesterday at the time I'm writing this (2/29/16). So what does this mean now? What meme can we create out of Leo? The answer... one about him getting it, does it seem funny...no? Yeah I can agree with you it's not really something we can laugh at but it's something. Anyways I leave you with a Happy Leap Year and a Happy no Leo meme day also much love to Leonardo DiCaprio and his movies!
