Never Fall Down - Book Review.

Never Fall Down By Patricia McCormick I am president of my schools book club and this book is a Georgia Peach Award Winner so I decided to read it. Back cover so I don't have to summarize for you: When soldiers arrive at his hometown in Cambodia, Arn is just a kid, dancing to rock 'n' roll, hustling for spare change, and selling ice cream with his brother. But after the soldiers march the entire population into the countryside, his life is changed forever. Arn is separated from his family and assigned to a labor camp: working in the rice paddies under a blazing sun, he sees the other children, weak from hunger, malaria, or sheer exhaustion, dying before his eyes. He sees prisoners marched to a nearby mango grove, never to return. And he learns to be invisible to the sadistic Khmer Rouge, who can give or take away life on a whim. One day, the soldiers ask if any of the kids can play an instrument. Arn's never played a note in his life, but he volunteers. In...

Tesla's Intro

Hi there. It's me. My sisters keep bugging me to do this intro thing. What's there to say? My name is Tesla. Like, this Tesla: My favorite animal is the cuttlefish, which is like the octopus, but with bioluminescence. I'm studying electrical engineering. Going into my junior year at BYU-I. Yay! I will never use a hashtag. Not even once. Except for right now. #hashtagsarethe"groovy"oftheearly2000s. I am currently a waitress, paying for the next year of college. The confidentiality agreement I signed forbids me from speaking about my employer in a negative light on a social network, but that's ok because I like it there. Also, I won't say where I work. However, I will point out that we do not have bees and nothing on the menu contains apples. Apply logic as you see fit. What else is there? I'm super single and ok with that. Though a guy would be nice in my life, I don't need one. Life is wonderful and beautiful and sunshine. Here...

FBLA Fall Leadership Conference

So I went to a FBLA conference last Tuesday- Thursday. It was in Athens, GA. Home of the UGA bulldog! I did a great job speaking on stage three times. Middle school and then two sessions of high school. There was a great key note speaker Kelly Barnes too. He had a great topic and talked about the butterfly effect and how each choice we make affects the rest of our life. I did a great energizer about how to do awesome handshakes. I also ate A LOT of Chick-fil-a, like every meal for two days. Then mom drove the bus home and we stopped at the varsity.    It was great, fantastic, wonderful, and other things. Then I came back to school. :(
