Dear Saul Banuelos,

Hello Saul Banuelos I am Abby I am responding to the letter you sent to me earlier today. I have read your letter and have thought of some advice that can work for you some of these advice tips that I give you might be uncomfortable to you but you don’t have to do them. All of these tips are what I think that you should do, this is only my opinion if I tell you something and you do it it is not guaranteed to work. Don’t be blaming me if something goes wrong or you expected someone else.

For my first piece of advice I think that you should try to talk to her about it. Girls don’t normally don’t like it when you don’t talk to them about things that are bothering you. Normally, you know when a girl is cheating on you if you try to talk to her and she leaves you to go talk to another guy, it is up to you if you want to go after her or just leave her to go talk to the guy she actually wants to talk to. Now if she is having a good time with a guy and his friends she might just be having fun but if you don’t trust her then you might as well not be together.

If she starts blocking you on any social media she is most likely starting to forget about you and not caring about both of your relationship. She is preparing herself to either break up with you or preparing something nice for you most of the time it would be the first one. Finally I think that you should talk to her about it and if she doesn’t say anything than you should probably break up with her even if you think it’s the wrong thing to do.

Thus, I hope you do what you want and not what I am telling you to do after all this is your choice to do what you want to do. If you happen to do what I told you to do hope it works out for you and I am wishing for only the best to happen to you. If you need anything else from me feel more than welcomed to write again.

Sincerely,

Abby

Many early freshmen have the problem of how to survive and to get out of the boring things in the first few days of 9th grade. Well in this blog we will explain how you can survive the first day of your freshmen year. There are many ways to survive the first day, but there are 3 major resources that will help you out a lot in the first year of high school.

Getting in trouble in the first day can lead to many things that will cause your whole 9th grade to be doomed. The first thing is that you will get in trouble. The second thing is that the teachers or staff will know you more and will have an eye on you on all the time.

3 BENEFITS OF PLAYING HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

3 BENEFITS OF PLAYING HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

Here are 3 benefits to playing high school sports. The three benefits are: being fit, gaining popularity and being recruited by colleges.

• First benefit to playing high school sports is that you are fit throughout your high school years. High school students, when play sports and practice almost everyday after school for a period of about 2 months. This leads every student to being super fit and healthy compared to other students. A Lot of students become overweight due to all the junk food eating. And students that play sports are forced to eat healthy to be energized for practice and games during the season.

• Second benefit to playing high school sports is gaining popularity. If your really good at the sport you play. People start to notice you as a local star in your area. This leads to more friends, teacher friends, boyfriends and girlfriends. This also leads to sponsors and scholarships. Leading to the next level of that sport.

• Last benefit, to playing high school sports is being recruited by colleges. If you're a good athlete with good grades, good attitude and awesome athleticism, college recruits will want you on their team. This gives you a little bit of everything i have been talking about like being a lot more fit more popularity and possibly making it to the pros like NBA, NFL and MLB.

The way this has helped me out is by being noticed a lot more by people. And a good amount of these people have are my friends to this day. Another way this has helped me is by being a lot more fit. All my years of my life before entering high school  I was always fairly overweight, but then I joined football and basketball and burned through all those pounds within 2 weeks. Ever since then I've been fit and eating a lot more healthy. To conclude, this shows the benefits of high school sports.

Dear Abby,

Hello, my name is Saul. I am a student who goes to Aspire Ollin University Preparatory and I am a 9th grader. I play sports for my school in our Varsity team. I live in Los Angeles California and I have lived here my entire life. I am 13 years old. I am writing this letter to ask for some advice on my relationship. I hope you will be able to write back and give me great advice.

My girlfriend and I are having relationship problems. She keeps blocking me on all my social media and when we talk she stays distant. Also, she hangs out with more other guys than she does with me. Whenever I see them having a fun time I join in and everything stops being fun. She recently has been trying to shut me out. Do you have any advice on what I should do I am pretty much screwed because I don’t know what to do hence why I am writing this letter.

What do you think I should do should I talk to her about it or just keep it to myself I am afraid that if I talk to her she might break up with me. But I am also afraid that she will leave me for another guy. I don’t want to lose her because I really like her but I don’t think she likes me. Or should I just end the relationship before something happens or wait for her to leave me and be heartbroken.

Thank you for taking your time to read this letter and answering back. I understand if you don’t have enough time to read this letter but if you do please answer back. In conclusion, please take your time to read the whole thing but I won't take any advice that involves fighting because I do not fight especially for a girl because I don’t think that is worth it. Finally thank you for everything.

Sincerely,

Saul Banuelos  

Tips On How To Be a Better 9th Grader

Tips On How To Be a Better 9th Grader

9th grade is a very hard grade especially since it is the first year of high school. As a 9th grader you have to have many responsibility. There are two ways to be a better 9th grader, the first way is to not be lonely, and the second way is to get good grades. The last way to be a better 9th grader is to be responsible.  

Don’t Be Lonely: As a new ninth grader you won’t really have friends to start off. Well don’t also end 9th grade without friends. To get new friends there is many things you can do. For example, be talkative and always trying to start conversations. Talking to people can change your fate in school and give you friends that can both help you in hard times and also, help you in school work. Friends can motivate you to do good in school and make you have a social life.

Good grades:  Keeping good grades in school can obviously help you get into college. This will help you in the future and will justify whether you enter college. It will justify what college you go to. Keeping good grades will help you succeed and will give you better opportunities to get a good job. Grades will help you a lot because it justifies the intelligent that you have. It also, justifies what you are capable of.

Be Responsible: A way to show that you are responsible is to always give in quality work and turn it in on time. Another way is to always administrate your time wisely and plan ahead when doing a task. If you are doing group work do not depend on your group to do all the work. Always be on time to school and always study before a big test. And always remember be responsible about your grades.

All in all, to be a better student you should follow these steps to HELP you. All, of these things will make you in 9th grade and will help you succeed. I have done these steps in my first year of 9th grade and many of you will have to make new friends and start off fresh you are going to have to make a good impression on the school.

The Hardest Grade in School Years

The hardest school year of all time is 9th grade, because of many reasons. The first reason is because , its is the first year of high school. The second reason is because the teachers give you a massive amount of work. The third reason is because you have to know that colleges check  your semester grades.

First Year of High School: The first year of High School is 9th grade. Then 9th grade is the hardest year in high school. It is the hardest year because it is the first, and we don’t really know the process of 9th grade. We don’t know how the water  flows in High School. We have to be at it in the first couple of weeks to get used to it. It is hard with all the things you have all around you. Once we get adapted to how the river flows, 9th grade will be much more easier.

Massive Amount of Work: In the first year of High School it is way different from Middle School. In middle school I remembered that students only got 1 page homework twice a week and that was it. As well as projects once or twice in the whole year. Also, classwork we would only have to read half the chapter of a book  and answer about 10 questions. And in high school you get up to 5 pages of homework everyday for the whole week. As well as getting projects about every 2 weeks. And any classwork that you don’t finish adds on to the homework already assigned.

Colleges Keep An Eye On Everything of You : Almost every assignment counts in high school: tests, homework and classwork. And colleges check all your grades from each semester. This determines the type of college you will be going to and what career you will pursuit. And if you fail in high school a high rated high school will most likely not accept you due to poor grades. And if you work your hardest 24/7 and maintain a high GPA almost every college will accept you. That is why it is the hardest year in High School.

This has helped me through my 9th grade year because it is helping me to know that 9th grade is a challenge and it is nothing for me. Therefore I have been thinking into how college will be harder and how 9th grade will not be as a challenge anymore. But it is a hard grade to do all what you want to do.

What makes Me? Me? (Kevin Martinez)

What make Me? Me?

My name I Kevin Martinez and I am 14 years old. I love to make people laugh smile. I am very energetic and love to play video games. My identity is my heritage and the people that I love. I like to play Soccer and Basketball with friends. My favorite video game to play is Black Ops 3 on PlayStation 4. I love to make new friends and meet new people. I aspire to be a doctor when I grow up and want to graduate with a masters or maybe a PH.D.I want to attend Stanford and be successful. I want to get a 4.0 this semester. I want to be a doctor to make a difference in the world. I want to help people that are sick and that are in need of help.

I want to go to college to show my family that us Hispanics can do whatever we put our minds to. I love playing around with my loved ones and enjoy partying. I was born on September 6, 2001. I am a person that loves to plan ahead when it helps me come out of sticky situations. I enjoy spending time with my loved ones. I love traveling around the world I have traveled to Rhode Island. I have never traveled outside the United States but hope one day to travel elsewhere. 

I  want to continue to do good in school and continue to succeed in life as a student. School isn't my favorite place to be in but, it is necessary to be in school to get good grades to go to college. Sure the work is harder in 9th grade but at the end of the run it is all worth it. We all take everything we have for granted and don't think twice when we give in work and try and make it better if not we just complete it to just do it. But, my goals this year is to be better in school and try much harder to do good in school. I love my family for always being there for me and always pushing me to do better.
