Reading blog entry 1 (Monster)

     From what you have read so far, what predictions can you make? What makes you think what will happen next?

- I read to page 20 and so far it appears about a boy that was trying to commit a robbery and ended up with a murder charge.  So right now he's in court facing the judge and he scans the courtroom questioning his attorney if it looks like he's gonna win and the attorney replies whats his example of winning. Because there are different meanings of winning such as life with parol other than life without parole or 30 years instead of the death penalty. But my prediction is he's going to get convicted and get a life sentence which is 45 years with parol and he's going to write about everything that happens in there until his parole date because he did mention that he was writing a movie in his journal. But then again it is a murder charge and he sounds like a minor so he could get a more minor sentence due to him possibly being a minor.

 I had this teacher named ms finley in the 3rd grade and me, and she had an excellent bond because around that time, I got a disease in my spine, and I was paralyzed for a few months and went fully blind. So while I was In the hospital for about 5 months, she would go and visit me every couple of weeks, and it meant a lot to me because she actually cared and she had got all my classmates to make me get well soon cards, and it really meant a lot to me. To this day, I have so much respect for her and will never forget who she is and what she did for me. And when I had got released from the hospital, she caught me up on all my work and got my grades up, and she would constantly be checking up on me even outside of school. She was a really positive teacher. Without her, I would have probably bombed that school year and fallen behind on my grades, so she really impacted my younger success.

 There is a goal that I set and achieved to graduate high school. I've established that goal since I was a kid in elementary school. I would tell my parents that I would walk that stage one day and get my diploma, which I technically achieved. Besides that walking the stage partly because I graduated in 2020 when covid first came, and everyone was virtual. Therefore, I couldn't walk the stage, but I did receive my diploma on time. I felt a significant relief when I achieved what I always wanted. I felt unstoppable and very happy for myself. It was worth all those hard times in school. It had all paid off.
