Free Blog-#Freshie

This week we have a free blog topic, I choose to write about freshman year. It was a definitely a change from being the leaders of middle school, to the least respected class in high school. I feel like this year will be an important one to my grade.
   Freshman year is the time when people start the process of finding out who they are. This year is the time when people start to switch friend groups and make a new path for themselves. People start to figure what they want to do with their lives, what field they want to pursue, where they want to go to college, what they want to major in. High school is a difficult time for everyone academically, but an even tougher time socially. Everyone is changing and sometimes that means changing the people you hang out with, changing your sense of style, sometimes changing everything about you! You can basically label the fours years of high school as change.Being a Freshman or as some of us call ourselves "a Freshie" is a good time for change.

Reading Response-The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

This summer one of the books I choose to read was The Fault in Our Stars. This is a book I have wanted to read for a while but never had the chance because I was always reading other school books. So when I got the chance to read it, I was ecstatic! When I picked up this book I hadn't really heard much about the plot other than some of the main characters end up dead.
     So when I started reading I was really surprised once I learned what the book was really about. The Fault in Our Stars is a wonderful book to read if you like romance and suspense mixed together. This book through me for a loop multiple times, for instance at the beginning when we were experiencing her support group she expressed how she disliked going to the meetings, because she hated having to hear all the peoples' problems which is not a normal reason to hate it. What I liked the most was the way the author wrote the main characters to be so vulnerable with each other but they appear to be tuff as nails when around others. I felt like this added a third dimension to the complexity of their characters and their growing relationship. Something I strongly disliked was how she made every person in the main character's life either disappear, die, or get cancer and die from that. I strongly recommend reading this book to anyone who likes a good book.
