High School

     I am so excited about going to high school next year! i am a little nervous too though. I am afraid that I might get lost. It is the time of year in eighth grade that I get to pick my classes for next year. As I pick them, I get more and more anxious about next year. I am excited because I am going to be in marching band and I have been wanting to be in that ever since I started playing the flute. I am also excited because I am going to play softball and be on a team with a bunch of my friends. I pick all of my classes today and I get to see what exactly I will be taking all four years! Well, I will post again later! Bye!\

The Holocaust

     In English, we have been doing a unit on the Holocaust. Before this unit, I only knew the basic aspects of the Holocaust. I really didn't know how bad the people were treated. Through this unit, I have learned that it wasn't just Jews that were put in the concentration camps. Homosexuals, Greeks, and Gypsies were sent there as well. Through this, I have just been dismayed at how someone could hate a group of people so much that they would want them all dead. I just don't understand how a human being could do something like that to that many people and nobody notice. I have been trying to figure out how nobody noticed. I wonder if people didn't notice or if people just turned their heads on that idea. I think that people weren't really looking for an answer as to why the Jews were being taken because it was supposed to be making their lives better. I have learned a lot through this unit in class but it also has made me think more about what the others who lived during this time were doing to help them if they were doing anything at all.

My Family

     I love my family to death. There are four people in my family: my mom, Pam, my dad, Larry, my sister, Kathryn, and me, Katelyn! I am younger then my sister by four years. Kathryn is a senior in high school this year. She is the caption of the cheerleading team as well as manager of the girl's wrestling team. I love my sister very much even though we can pretty much never get along. I am always telling her that i won't miss her when she goes to college but the truth is, I will miss her.... A LOT! Even though we don't get along very often, she is pretty cool. I love my parents very much. They mean the world to me! Well, that is all I can think of about my family! I will post again later! Bye!

What Couldn't I Live Without?

     What is one thing that you absolutely could not live without? It is hard to pick one thing right?!?!? Most people would say things like cell phones, computer, or maybe your favorite book! As for me, I could not live without my best friends! I couldn't live without my friends because they are there for me all of the time. On the days when I am sad or upset about something, my friends are always there to help me get through it! If I didn't have my friends to help me when things like that happen, I don't know what I would be like. I would probably be upset all of the time which would definately not be good! Another reason why I couldn't live without my friends would be because I like to just hang out and talk to them! If I didn't have them, I wouldn't be able to talk to anyone about anything. I absolutely could not live without my friends!

All About Me:)

My name is Katelyn(as you already know!) I am 14 years old! I absolutely love music! I enjoy any kind of music! I could not live without music! My favorite color is purple! I am always wearing purple because it is just that awesome! I love my cell phone! I think I would die without it! I am always on it, either texting or talking on it! My favorite subject in school is math because I am really good at it and I understand it. My least favorite subject would be history only because it does not interest me as much as other subjects do. A lot of people call me a nerd but I don't really mind because it isn't like it is a bad thing to be smart! Being smart is a good thing!:) Well, I don't know what else to say about myself so I am going to go! Bye!

All-County Honors Band:)

     For the past three years I have been playing the flute in band at school! I LOVE to play! Last year, when I was in 7th grade, I heard about this thing called the All- County Honors Band. I found out that it is this thing where you go and try out to see if you can be in the band of the best players in this county. i decided that I might as well try out and see if I was good enough to make it. I went to the try outs and it turned out that I made the band and I got to go play and have a concert. This year when I heard they were doing it again, I knew I wanted to try out and see if I could do better then last year. Try outs for this year was this past Saturday and it turns out that I made it again! I did great and I am going to play in another concert with this year's band next week! i can't wait because I get to see friends that made it as well and do the thing I love, which is play the flute!
