Today this strange creepy girl came to River Island! It was creepy for all of us! So let me explain exactly what happened…

So normally at 7:30 AM I would be milking the cows, but apparently hula girl wants to do it for me. Hula girl is this strange creepy girl from Hawaii and she came Hawaii because River Island is right next to Hawaii so we get all those “peaceful Hawaiian people” passing over our river. Anyway, I just shout out and run to get Nour. Luckily Nour has his gun so obviously because Nour is into killing stuff and shooting objects and in this case people he was going to shoot Hawaiian girl, but I stopped him in time. Hawaiian girl started shouting and speaking this odd language.

“Do. You. Know. English?” I spell out clearly for her.

“Oh yes, I do. I thought you didn’t,” she says.

Apparently Hawaiian girl has a name and it’s Lea. She says she comes from “Mountania.” Nour and I just look at each other suspiciously.

“LEAVE!” screams Nour “or else.”

“But I wanted to stay” begs Lea.

“LEAVE!” screams Nour again getting impatient starting to hold up his gun.

So obviously Hula girl runs into the river and splashes Manuel and she swims away to her so called mountain. Basically it was very scary morning.

I chose my picture because, everytime I see a key I think of my Key and Lock necklace that me and my best friend have.

Transition to Middle School

This part of the article is about me Juliana. I think moving from elementary school to middle school is going to be pretty exciting. I’m excited for a lot of things. It’s going to be really nice having our own locker not cubby. I’m super excited about not having to walk in line from class to class. MS is going to be hard (I’m guessing). I’m really going to miss Mrs. Coffey; she is a great teacher. I’m actually scared because I asked some people how their experience was and they said it was nice but scary because you are the youngest in MS. My sister said that her best year was 8^th grade so I’m excited for 8^th grade. The last year of elementary is going well so far. It’s really cool and fun to be the seniors of elementary. Well I hope 6^th grade is going to be fun. So wish me good luck readers.

This part of the interview is about my sister Tatiana. I interviewed Tatiana because she’s been here since 5^th grade and this year she is graduating high school. Tatiana came from Cyprus her school was AISC (American International School of Cyprus) Tatiana has been waiting to graduate from HS for a long time. Tatiana enjoyed her MS graduation more than her ES, because she said “you begin to think about what interests you and what your future might be like.” Tatiana is leaving for college she’s either going to London or to the US. Tatiana doesn’t find 12^th grade hard she finds it stressful because she has school work, college applications, and her art portfolio but she’s very excited because it’s her last year. Tatiana says that ACS has changed every year in both good and bad ways. Tatiana’s favorite subjects are Art and Photography because those are her passions. Also because Mrs. McKone teaches her both those classes and she said, “I’d be nowhere without her patience, encouragement, and helpfulness.”

In Tatiana’s case it wasn’t hard for her to adjust because the people were friendly to her so it took her a quicker time than she thought it would.

Tatiana isn’t nervous at all to start college; in fact, she said she couldn’t wait to. Although Tatiana did say, “I am going to miss my family and friends.”

This part of the interview is about my dad Bassem. I interviewed my dad because when he was six years old he went to boarding school. The name of his boarding school is called Chouf National College. Bassem felt very lonely in the first couple of years. It was very hard for him because he missed his home and family. After a while it became his home and he got used to it. Bassem didn’t have an opinion on going to boarding school because he was still very young. Bassem’s parents had to go abroad for a couple of years that’s why he had to go to boarding school. Bassem always felt homesick but he said, “I can say I did feel better after the first year.” Bassem did enjoy boarding school. Some of his friends from that boarding school are still his friends up to today.

Chouf National College is still a school but not a boarding school. Bassem changed schools again when he was in 11^th grade to another boarding school called Greenfield College. He graduated from there.

JA: Can you rate both your schools on a scale from 1-10?

BA: I rate them both an 8.

I hope you liked hearing about the different experiences my family has had.

In Deir al-Kamar we played this game called “Capture the Flag.” I could smell all the trees and nature’s wonderful smell. I could see the two people running. I could taste the saltiness of my sweat. I could feel the flag rub against my face as I sprinted across the room the field. I could hear the cheering when I crossed the LINE (meaning I won!)

When I went to Deir Al Qammar it was one of the best experiences I’ve experienced. Why? It’s because I’ve never been camping before! I enjoyed it a lot, especially night time, when we were supposed to be sleeping. It’s a long story so I’m going to put it this way… I slept for 2 hours in total; from 1AM till 3AM and the rest of the night was with my friend, in their tents and outside on the rocks! We had a bonfire too! We didn’t roast marshmallows though. The bus ride to and from were both fun! The food was delicious and the tent was really cool. Oh, yeah! We also looked into a telescope and saw the moon!

I enjoyed it so much! I hope that 5B and 5C enjoyed it as much as we did!

My dad is the best thing in the whole world!

Tonight I'm having a sleepover with Blue Marble! It's going to be soo much fun. Were going to eat pizza for dinner and watch a scary movie! It's gonna be awesome! But Blue Marble is coming at 9:00 at night after she and I go to choir! It's nicer because we have an excuse to stay up later. But I don't think were actually going to sleep for much!
