-Jack: Now here’s my secret. It is only with one’s heart that one can see clearly. What is essential. What is essential is invisible to the eye.

I think Jack is very important to August so far. When August and his parents came to visit school, August met Cholate, Julian and Jack. Julian was very mean to August, but Jack was nice to August.

When Jack realized he was been mean to August on Halloween, he hated himself, thought he was so stupid, and wanted to make friend with August again.

When August’s class need a partner for the Science project. Jack’s partner was August. After school, Julian quipped Jack because his partner was August. And that’s why he punched Julian, right on his mouth. Then Jack had to stay at home for couple of days right after Winter Break because he punched Julian, and it’s just because Jack didn’t want anyone to bully August!

In these ways, I could tell Jack is a nice person.

 I always enjoy drawing, whether it’s just a sketch or a doodle. This year, I want to work on drawing anatomy. Of course, human anatomy is hard to draw, but it would be a good start practicing so I can turn it into a habit.

I have never done a proper drawing for anatomy. I always draw big sweaters for humans so it would hide the hands; I’m guessing that’s a bad thing. I want to improve, if I want to get more into drawing.

I’m already looking at drawing references online, to fix bends and positions. I don’t look at references often, but I can search up more references, or make my own. I should start practicing drawing hands more often too. During Winter break, I barely drew anything. I should be drawing more often.

Another strategy that I use is paying attention to real life. Paying attention to things around you, such as patterns, details and other people can help you. By being more aware and observant of how the world looks and works, one can really improve their drawing skill.

The New Year is a great time to work on something new, or improve something you are already working on. I will try my best this year to improve my drawings.

I think Auggie and Via are getting wiser beyond their years because the more they get older the more they mature.

I think Auggie is getting wiser because he is getting more confident in life. He is getting more confident in life and towards others because he is learning that not everybody is going to look at Auggie like his family does so he is prepared for all the hate and criticism.

For the previous years of Auggie he never did anything as daring as school. School was probably the most bizarre idea in his curious little mind, but his parents did bring it up so that meant that he had to get more confident to face all the bullies at school. I think that made him wiser because he is trying something new. Whenever you try something you always have some sort of worry or doubt about yourself but that’s a good thing, it’s a good thing because whenever you have some sort of doubt are worry about yourself its telling you, you can’t do it but the only way you can overcome that is to “Just do it.” It made Auggie wise because he was thinking of all the thought that came into his head and he tried to put it behind him.

Auggie is wise because he is also really smart. In the previous years of him, he was home schooled so people thought that made him dumb. When he entered school he blew everybody away with his smarts. People were doubting him and criticizing him like “Your home schooled you can never catch up with us,” and” You are stupid.” He didn’t care what he said and he just blew everyone away, most importantly Jack will. So I think that made him wiser and more confident as a person and as a student.

I think Via is getting wiser throughout her years because she is slowly becoming more independent. She is getting more independent each year she grows up, for example a few years back she didn’t need her parents to help her do her homework or anything, a couple weeks ago she took the subway by herself with nobody. When she is doing all these things like a women she need to be wise when she is doing anything. For example she is walking to the subway then somebody offers her drugs she needs to know that it’s wrong to accept it and just walk away.

Another reason why Via is getting wiser is that she doesn’t have any close friends that can hold her down. I think this because when you have friends that are really annoying it’s really hard to focus on what you need to do and not get distracted. I personally think that I can work with people that make that talk really loud because sometimes they make me laugh.

I think Auggie and via are becoming wiser beyond their years because of how much courage they gained and how independent they got, and you know what you say The more you grow the more you know!

” The New Years is always a great time to change and better yourself. Maybe last year, you were too quiet that no one could hear you. In my case, that would be me.

My goal for this year is to be less shy. There’s no problem with being shy, but when it comes to the point that it effects your grades. You’re going to want to change it as soon as possible.

I think that I should do this because in the last two years, I have been too shy to do anything, because of this I have missed so many opportunities to better my grades and my social life.

One of the ways I can achieve my goal is to practice talking louder and taking more risks. Making eye contact during my speeches in front of the class or the school. I can

“The quietest people have the loudest minds.”

I always enjoy making my new year’s resolution in January. For 2017, I’m going to improve my knowledge of Science and Social studies. I’m planning to learn more about the English vocabulary about Science, and natural resources in Canada. This is important to me because last year, I couldn’t understand the Science vocabulary, so I didn’t know what we were talking about in class.

On my Science project and report card, I got a “C-“. I want to improve my Social studies grades, too, because I don’t know that much about natural resources in Canada. I feel very badly about that. To do this, I’ll read more books at the library to improve my knowledge, I’m going to research natural resources in Canada on the computer. I have a strict plan for learning.

In these ways, I’ll fulfill my new year’s resolution in 2017.
