Babysitting Training

Hello everyone! As some of you know, I took a course in First Aid and Child Care at the library. It was sponsored by Red Cross, so they knew what they were talking about.

It was a very interesting class. It took place from 9 am to 5 pm. (I know it’s a long time but it went pretty quickly in some parts) It was taught by an older man named Alan.

I thought the class was pretty insightful. Here is a list of everything we learned how to do when something like one of these happen: (in alphabetical order, of course)

• Allergic Reactions
• Asthma Attacks
• Bites and Stings
• Bleeding, Cuts, and Scrapes
• Blisters
• Breathing Emergencies
• Burns
• Cardiac Emergencies
• Choking
• Cold-Related Emergencies
• Diabetic Emergencies
• Embedded Object
• Fever
• Head, Neck, and Back Injuries
• Heat-Related Emergencies
• Muscle, Bone, and Joint Injuries
• Poisoning
• Seizures
• Shock
• Stroke
• Sudden Illness
• Teeth (Knocked Out)

We also learned about child care and safety such as:

• Telephone Safety
• Personal Safety
• Danger from Strangers
• Watching out for Germs
• Picking Up and Holding Children
• Feeding Children
• Diapering

And THAT’S why it took so long! But it was very fun. For some stuff we used baby mannequins, and some we used a partner for. So know I’m an officially certified babysitter!

My Screenplay Idea

My idea is about a clinically depressed teenager named Liza. Her parents are divorced, her mother abuses her, and everyone at school thinks she's a creep. Feeling overcome with sadness, she stabs herself and dies. Soon after, she arrives in heaven where she meets a middle-aged man named Joseph, who died of cancer. He explains that he wanted to live forever, but died because he couldn't withstand living. But he said Liza could've lived as long as she liked, but chose to be dead. Suddenly, Liza sparks an idea. She decides that since they both wanted to live a different life they should come back to Earth in an alternate reality to try again. Joseph says that's total fantasy, but Liza decides to go on a journey to do it. She decides immediately to go tell God, but after a chat with a local angel (the angels are like servants to the people in heaven), she hands him a message. After explaining her situation to him, he wrote back and said that would be extremely hard to do. He said that would be impossible since the point about being dead is not being able to come back. The only way would be to come back as a ghost, kill someone, and go back to Earth as the age she was right before any of her depression started. But if she died in her new life, she couldn't start over another time. Liza knows it's crazy but does it anyway. She rises from the grave and immediately runs to her former high school. She tracks down her rival, the very popular, wicked Penny, and, since ghosts are invisible, strangles her. But soon she realizes that she completely changed the future. Penny's friends feel they don't want to live without Penny and commit suicide as well. And since Liza's state of mind has been changed, she doesn't know that her parents are going to get divorced. It happens again and Liza finally realizes that there really are no second chances at life and decides to make a change. She calls the authorities and flees to a more safer foster home, where her spirits brighten and people start to respect her.

THE END

Fifth Grade Finale

On Friday was the party of the class of 2018: The Fifth Grade Finale. It’s pretty much celebration to commemorate the fifth graders, who are leaving elementary school. There was a DJ, pizza, sno-cones, popcorn, cake, a bouncy house, spray tattoos (They’re just paint!), carnival games, Dance Dance Revolution, beach ball dodge ball, and memory books, a book filled with memories all the way back to infancy.

All of my friends were there, and we all had a great time! Too bad there are still 2 more days of school…

My Birthday!!!!!

Hello everyone! From now on I’ve decided that this is now a photo blog! Anyway, my birthday was on Monday and it was very special! Here are all the details:

Saturday:

On Saturday I had a sleepover with two of my friends (Stephanie and AnnMarie). We played Wii, watched two movies (City of Ember and Over the Hedge), and had a delicious dinner (cheese and pepperoni pizza,  buffalo and country sweet chicken wings, and chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Mmm!)

I also got some awesome presents! Here’s a peek!:

Sunday:

On Sunday, since we were having guests on Monday, we went out to eat (In my family it’s a tradition to have the birthday person choose a restaurant to eat at) at Zebb’s , a gourmet burger place in the city. I was also allowed to open one present. Guess what it is?

Monday:

On Monday I was officially eleven! But since I had to go to school, I could open only one present in the morning. Here’s what it is!:

Later that day (6:00) the guests (Jan, Kristen,and Oma) came. We had a delicious meal of fish tacos and pasta summer salad (I picked the menu out of the Wegman’s Menu Magazine.). Everybody had a great time and I got some cool stuff!

Mom (Ariana helped):

 

Ariana:

Oma:

• $30.00
• $50.00 for college

Jan:

Kristin:

Joyce:

Tuesday:

You didn’t think my dad didn’t give me anything did you? On Tuesday my big exciting present came that he ordered. I bet you can guess what it is!

So all in all I had a very happy birthday! And now I just have to wait until Christmas! (Just kidding! Well, sort of)

Law Library Visit

Good morning/afternoon/evening! A few weeks ago my mom’s friend Marie took me to the place she works. She’s a law librarian at a place called Harris Beach. She finds books about certain laws to give to attorneys. I thought it was fascinating how all the laws of this country are kept in one building. It was interesting to learn how the organization of the books worked for two reasons:

1. I LOVE organization!
2. I’m intrigued on how law works

Marie even showed me the website where they are putting the books on (that must be a lot of work!). Afterward, we went out for salad and pizza at Bocacinni’s, a little restaurant in Perinton Square.

In short, I had a fun time, and I hope to come back to Harris Beach again.

Band Concert

Hello followers! I’m sure most of you have heard about my band concert, but I’m here to tell about the details.

The concert was held on March 15th at Fairport High School. Everyone was supposed to wear Concert Dress. (White shirt, black pants, black skirt, white dress, black dress, white shoes, black shoes) As for me, I wore a delicate white blouse, a black skirt, footless tights, and silver kitten heels. The night before I painted my toenails bright red, so they really popped!

We played six songs that we had practiced since October. They were Courtly Dance and Procession, Danza Africana, The Enchanted Wizard, Valley Circle March, Midnight Madness, and Midnight Mission. The instruments in the band were trumpets, tubas, baritones, trombones, French horns, clarinets, flutes, alto saxophones, percussion, and an oboe. (Just recently, we added tenor saxophones)

Everyone thought the concert was wonderful and that we sounded even better than the middle school band! I’m very proud of the experience and I’m excited for our concerts in May and June.
