Life lesson in grade 8

Working hard in grade 8 is a very important. You need to work hard to pass the grade your in, you cant do it while doing a half asked job. Working hard includes the following: you need to study for tests and quizzes, if not unless your really gifted or you pay attention in class really well and have a photographic memory, you will probably fail or get a low mark. Working hard also includes paying attention in class, its super important to stay awake or not daydream and just pay attention for the 10 minutes he/she talks. Procratinating is good but not if you push it to the very limit, if you get youtr work done right away you will definatly not regret it, it is very boring but once your finished you can go do whatever you want!

Personally I work hard everyday and try to make everyday like its my last, definatly not just school, sports is another top one to work hard at, especially if you want to go to the majors for it, music is another one work hard a never give up no matter how bad you are at it. School and sports work together sometimes though, if your playing a sport usually how it works is that if your doing bad in school you wont play in university, college etc. Making A's in school, a very hard task, if you think about it even the gifted kids have to somewhat work at it to get straight A's its definatly not a given, but its definatly not impossible you just really need to study 20 minutes per night and it really works! I went from a low B to about a 90% in english which didnt suprise me everything got so much easier and I think I got an A on almost every test this term which is an amazing thing because I am very far from a straight A student.

When I was in grade 7 alot of my grade 8 friends told me how hard grade 8 was but once I got into grade 8 it almost was as easy as grade 7, which I thought was good. Things have changed so much since grade 7 though, everybody has gotten more into drugs and other bad things which is a little dissapointing I guess, but defianatly not the end. Some hard working quotes are:
The next best thing to winning is losing! Atleast you've been in the race - Nellie Tullis
There are no traffic jams along the extra mile - Roger Staubach
Theres no celing on effort - Harvey Fruehauf
Which obviously are saying that theres no limit on effort or working hard or that its always good to go to the extra mile to get the best mark etc.

Hard working quotes are very helpful in life, they show you that almost everything is possible if you believe it and it gives you really good advice. My favourite quote is "Theres no celing on effort" meaning theres no limit on effort and hard work which is thought was a very good quote to live by. I enjoyed grade 8 though, it really isnt to easy but it isnt to hard either. You dont just fly by it, it takes work like everything does. Things like school teams are good to go on, dont feel like you have to miss out on fun activities such as those to study or do homework, im not saying you shouldnt do that but as long as you get it finished it really doesnt matter. Hard work includes listening to everything your teachers say to, it could be very boring but it helps because usually its quite intelligent.

Think about it working hard in life early will help you out when your older like getting into a good college, or university which will get you a good job when your older so basicly it all works out for the best.

Skate park

Westbank really needs a good skatepark. One reason is that there really isnt anything to do. Im not trying to sound greedy since we already have one which is called Johnson bentley skate park, but there arnt any good features to ours. We need something like Ben lee in rutland, which has a large bowl for bikers to shred, and they have an area for skaters to shred. Johnson Bently has a small hip/quarterpipe for bikers, 2 small boxes and a rail/4 set for skaters. Im a biker so I mostly ride the hip/quarterpipe which isnt actually that bad so maybe they could just add more features to it.

Another thing about it is its way to small, especially for a town our size. My grandparents old town of 10000 people had a much better skate park then our town of 40000 people which I thought was a little brutal. Although ours was built a long time ago, and Humboldts was built like under a year ago, so instead of building a whole new park maybe just add on. Or wipe out the whole thing a completely re do it. Im sure I could get alot of poeple on my side. Apparantly they were supposed to make a skate park in peachland, but it all the money raised went to a old person home or something which is a little dissapointing, but its for a good cause I guess.

So maybe a good skate park would be good for West kelowna, it would definatly attract more people to come here to see our park.

Center of gravity

It was the August long weekend, which meant the Center of gravity. The Center of gravity is the best part of summer, freestyle mountain biking, wakeboarding, beer garden, street ball, live bands, great food, beach, activities and bouncy castles etc. for kids. Best of all, girls in bikinis playing beach volleyball. Remember the Wake fest? well after the Wake fest was shut down they started doing the Center of gravity which is pretty much like the Wake fest with a twist.

Although there are some down sides to this event. There are many people that sneek in drugs and alcohol under age. Another one is getting sun burnt when laying on the beach and forget to put on sun block, or maybe if your all dry and little kids decide it would be funny to throw water on you. There could be some wierd people, or maybe even old fat man in speedo's which would not be a good sight to see. Aside from these its tons of fun.

So, as you can see the Center of gravity isnt just positive, but the positive definatly outweigh the negative parts of the event. All this happens at City park in Kelowna bc. Hopefully you can make it out for this fantastic event during the August long weekend, it is definatly one part of the year you dont want to miss! See you there! :)

The harp

One day a man was walking through town to pick up a newspaper. When I got home I sat in my favourite chair and read. Top headline read: Magic harp supposably lost, large reward if found. I thought to my self oh my god if found that I would be rich! So I set out next morning. I heard stories about it was in the peppercane forest, about 100 miles west from where I live. I searched and search the east side of the forest, no luck.

I started on the westside still no luck. Years and years went by and most people gave up on finding it but I never gave up. After a long day of searching I decided to go get a good nights rest then start again in the morning. That night a had a dream of where the harp is, I thought thats boulderdash, it couldnt be behind the big rock that I sit on every morning to finish my coffee. I went there and digged for 10 minutes or so, and what do you know? I found a brownish gold piece sticking out of the top of the ground,it had been burried.

It took me a little while to finish digging it up and clean it off but my was it beautiful. I tried it out a bit and wished for a wife, out came a gorgeous blonde model, yes. I noticed on the side of it said 54. It must have meant how many wishes it had left, I wished for a few more great things which included a multi million dollar house with a maid and a limo with a driver, life was sweet. I rushed into town in my new sports car, and showed all my friends. Everyone was offering millions for it but I declined every one. I had an amazing life because of that fantastic harp that made my life awesome.

Quickly, Braden jumped out of bed. It was the first day of summer vacation. I was going to go biking to the elementary school. There were some trails around and behind the school so I would make all the elementary kids that were still in school jealous. I was still in shock it was summer already, this is insanity I thought.



Of course all the kids were all mad that we were out and they wernt but they were still excited because they would get out in a few days. I was done with biking and ready to go home to play some road hockey before I went to the beach. I went downstairs because my mom wasnt ready to drive me yet, I decided to go pwn some noobs in Modern Warfare 2. I was so happy it was summer, that's the one day of the year every kid is waiting. I went back upstairs to grab some money before I left for Swim bay.

Swim bay is intense, it has a zipline, low dive and a high dive. I dominate the highdive, I can do backflips,frontflip dives, ganers and many more! I can tell this was going to be a supercallifragilisticexbealadocious summer.
