5) Wiz Khalifa - See you again This song relates to me because when I left Poland, I left everything I had and everyone I knew, it was one of the hardest and best things that happened to me, sometimes I think where I would be if I didn't leave. 4) Imagine Dragons - Believer This song relates to me because it's about having up's and down's in your life. Some of the lyrics  You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer (Pain) I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain My life, my love, my drive, it came from (Pain) 3) Shawn Mendes - Treat you better This song relates to me because it's about wishing to treat people better, sometimes I treat people badly and later I regret it, and I wish that I treated them better. 2) Twenty one pilots- Stressed out This song relates to me because it's about wishing to turn back the time to the good old days, sometimes, when i'm stressed out, I wish that I was back in preschool or kindergarten where everyth...

I was never interested in gifts on holidays or birthdays, what counted to me the most is my family, me and my family always bought each other gifts that would make us happy. I remember that last year on Christmas I got a video game from my mom that I always wanted but I never could buy it. For Christmas I want to buy tickets for my mom to Shakira's concert in January. Shakira is one of my moms favorite musicians. For Christmas I want my grandma to visit and spend some time with me and my family. My grandma can't visit a lot because she lives in Germany and it takes a long time for her to save some money to fly  to U.S. I hate my sister so I probably won't give her anything for Christmas but if I decide to give her something, I will give her something she doesn't want, like a second copy of a video game or the type of chocolate she hates. I never forget to give something to my dog, I always buy her a bag of treats or a new toy, to be honest, my dog gets better ...

The definition of perseverance is “Steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties.” for example, studying for an important test without having much time or looking for a good job.

I wrote my first paragraph on my RTI, then I wrote my 2 paragraphs on my study hall, 4th period, and then I realized that I don’t have enough time to finish it but I still kept going, I wrote half of my 3rd Paragraph on my recess and then I couldn’t finish the essay, so when everyone in my 8th and 9th period class was presenting their projects, I was finishing mine and then, I heard the bell, I was supposed to present my project tomorrow, I was relieved and also disappointed because I had to present my project that I worked so hard on the next day.
