Be confident in who you are and never feel the need to change who you are to please someone else. You are what matters.

A Week to Remember: Week 6

It has been a good week this week. On Monday, we had no school. This was because of Dr. Martin Luther King. I will just like to take the time and thank Dr. Martin Luther King for his amazing dream. Life would not be as it is today. Was it not for his bravery and commitment to unity, who knows what life would be like, what opportunities I would have, they places I will be able to go. So for this weekly review I would like to post a poem I wrote in 5th grade in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Dream by: Kiana Hobbs
I have a dream and it's not that far
My dream stays close to my heart
You should have a dream just like Martin Luther King
Who did what he could to save us and our dream
So dream a dream for Martin Luther King
And show him what you could do with just you dream and you

This will conclude my journal for the day. This is Kiana signing out. Peace

A Week to Remember: Week 3

Post for the week of winter break. The week is finally over and winter break is here. This week has lacked enjoyment since I had to rush and make up assignments I missed during my time in Florida. I had to makeup a Driver's Ed, Trigonometry, and Spanish test this week. However in Choir we watched The Temptations and it was amazing. I developed a fondness for them after watching the movie. You should most definitely watch it. It is time well spent. Well that's all for now. This is Kiana signing out. Peace

A Week to Remember: Week 5

This week has been mild. Nothing exciting or jaw dropping happened. I had a chess tournament yesterday and I went 2 and 2. In choir we are singing a Motown mashup. It includes the songs: Dancing in the Streets, I Heard it Through the Grapevine, Ain't No Mountain High High Enough, What Becomes of the Broken Hearted, I Can't Help Myself, Back in My Arms Again,  and Reach out, I'll Be There. I'm so excited to perform these songs because we'll be dancing as well. So I'll be able to bust out my great dancing moves. So that was my week for you guys. This is Kiana signing out. Peace

A week to remember: Week 4

This week has been very cold in the Windy City. That is the worst part about living in Chicago, the weather. Any way I've been sick for the past couple of weeks , so I wasn't able to enjoy my week as I would've liked to. But aside from that it has been good. My sister finally had her baby about 2 weeks ago. It's a boy and all he does is sleep. Lucky, though, he's not a cry baby. Which is great. This will conclude my journal of the week. This is Kiana signing out. Peace.
