The Harmful Effects Of Harmful

2. 59.3% of the US population now lives in a state where marijuana has been legalized. 

3. 16.5% of 8th graders, 35.8 % of 10th graders, and 45.4% of 12th graders had tried marijuana in their lifetime.

STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

Student Success Statement

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right."

-Dean Smith 

I like how Dean Smith thought because his intent was never to beat the other team, he always told his players to go on the court and to try their very best. I believe that he had a great mind set because losing didn't bother him. In today's world I think more people should focus on the positive things, just like Dean Walter. Because he was simply doing the right thing, he created a legacy.

WINTER BREAK

Winter Break

 During winter break I really didn't do anything except eat during the holidays and watch Netflix. Two weeks ago I started a new series on Netflix called Skins, I'm currently on the fifth season. The show follows a group of British teen friends that rebel. I also watched a movie called Bright. The movie was about a world where people, orcs, and elf's all lived together. The whole movie revolved around a magic wand that was able to grand the owner three wishes. Later, on the twenty-second of December my grandparents arrived from Mexico. They are currently staying at our house right now. Then on Christmas my mom made food. The following day we headed to my uncles and we spent the day there. That same week I unfortunately got food poisoning and I spent the whole night vomiting. Because I wasn't feeling well at all, the next day my parents took me to the hospital. At the hospital they told me I had an infection and gave me a thick substance which was to help my stomach. :I
