Imperfect spiral summary and tough questions sign post.

From were I left off in the book Imperfect Spiral by Debbie Levy, When the main character goes to testify the judge begins to tell the story of what happened to Humphrey. Now we know that the people that were driving were immigrants which makes it worse for the driver that hit Humphrey. Humphrey's parents no longer trust the babysitter and are fighting for safety changes. The neighborhood is now having changes to the streets, such as, side walks, lights, and stop signs. There are more things that Humphrey's parents are changing but you have to read Imperfect Spiral to find out.
 One hard question for Danielle would be wether to blame herself for it or not. In the book I see that she is miserable just with the fact that a boy died under her supervision. Especially now that she has to go and hear the story over and over again in the courts she is finally letting it in and realizing she couldn't have done anything to change what happened to Humphrey.

Imperfect Spiral summary and Character analysis

           In the book "Imperfect Spiral by Debbie Levy", the main situation talked about in this book would be when Humphrey gets killed by a car accident. In the book so far I have gotten into reading the situation in more detail, from who was there, who saw it, and who experienced it happen. The character Danielle Snyder is the main character who experiences the death of Humphrey close up, there fore she believe's it is her fault he is dead. Danielle soon finds out about Justin who is her "friend" (actually they feel more for each other), turns out he had something to do with the accident.

          Danielle Snyder is a regular, funny, outgoing until Humphrey dies in a tragic car accident. In the book it speaks about Danielle being a babysitter, talking to her friends and just having a normal teenage life. After the death of Humphrey she becomes depressed, confused and all sorts of things. In the book I read that she felt as if it was her fault, if only she had kept a closer eye on him it wouldn't have happened. Now she has become more of an understanding person but still tries to find out the truth of who was driving that blue minivan that killed Humphrey. I know this because in the book it talks about her going to court to testify what had happened but her herself doesn't know the whole truth. Will we ever find out?

2015 Goals!!!

What are my goals this year?? This year academically I want to achieve being on the honor roll for the rest of the eighth grade year, and at the end of the year I will try to shoot for valet victorian. I want to achieve being on the honor roll for the rest of the year because high schools look at your grades. The high school that I'm going to recommends us to be in all AP or honors classes. Knowing that I can be in honors here at Heritage, it allows me to have an idea of what I can do in high school. Valet victorian is something that is very challenging to accomplish. I am a determined girl who loves to take on a challenge. Other people have a higher percentage of getting valet victorian, but knowing that I tried gives me the satisfaction of knowing I did my best this year.
My personal goal would be to become a leader in 8B. To be a leader it consists of having trust from all your teachers, being a responsible person, a caring person, someone who is open minded and available for any reason during school. I feel like I am the things I listed above. Though I have these characteristics I would love to make them stronger and better. To make these characteristics stronger I would join certain groups who help out the community and our school, I would surround myself with the right crowd. 8B does need a different direction push, 8B has people who are not so encouraged to come to school, I would love to change that and show them that school isn't so bad.
