  • please tell me if i have any hope in becoming a writer?!?

    Posted by admin on May 11th, 2010 and filed under horizon high school | 3 Comments »

    ok here is a little part of a story i started. I’m 14 and not really experienced in writing, but its something i really enjoy doing on my spare time. But Im not really sure how and when to begin a new paragraph and stuff. My spelling isn’t so great. I’m just wondering if my style is too young and boring. If it is than please tell me what i can do to improve. anything will help. Thank you!

    “Get up!” my mom shook me, “you cant be late for school”
    “im getting up” then she left the room. Shes right, I shouldn’t be late on the first day of school. So I got up unwillingly and stretched my arms high over my head, as if trying to touch the ceiling..which I was very far from. I’m such a shorty i complained to myself.

    I took a hot shower, than put on a little makeup though more than usual, I left my hair how it was naturally, curly. Then searched my closet for something to wear, I found a cute pink blouse my mom had bout me during our trip to California to see my dad a couple of months ago. Than I got some cute yellow shorts but realized it was a little cold by looking out my window so I added some gray leggings. Got my boots on and a scarf, then took one last look in the mirror, I was satisfied enough.

    I could smell pancakes my mom had maid especially for today. So I ran down the stairs jumping over the last two.
    “Smells good mom,” I spotted my pancake on the table with whip cream and strawberries. “Looks great.”
    “Thank you doesn’t it?” she gave the pancakes a goodbye look. “well enjoy, but hurry up u only have 5min till Miss. Angel gets here”

    Juli said she would give me a ride, I had totally forgotten.I stuffed the pancakes down, a little to fast to enjoy them though. But I thanked my mom again and then ran upstairs and brushed my teeth. I heard the door bell ring so I finished fixing my hair in the mirror and ran down the stairs the same as before jumping over the last two. Juli was there waiting patiently,
    “Hey, Jen! You look cute!” she gave me a hug.
    “so do u!” I liked the green shirt against her red hair. Her red hair, “Oh my gosh Juli you cut your hair!” it looked super cute, it was now a little above her shoulders instead of her waste.
    “yep” she smiled
    “it looks super cute! I like it short like that! When’d u get it done?”
    “Thank you! Umm not yesterday but the day before” she was full of energy when she talked, just like me. I think it was all the anxiety of being a freshman.
    “well we should go,” she continued “ my moms waiting outside”
    “ok! Bye mom!” I gave her a kiss
    “bye sweetie”
    “bye Miss Gavet!” Juli waved as she was half way out the door.
    “bye Juli, have a good day girls! Love you!”
    “love you to mom.” I shut the door behind me before we said anymore goodbyes. It was cold outside, summer didn’t last very long in Washington, but ohh well I like the cold. But maybe I should have dressed warmer? No, ill be fine, I reassured myself.
    When I got to the car Miss. Angel greeted me with a hug, and asked how things were.
    When we got into the shiny bug car I realized how cold I had been, it was so warm, it felt good in the car.

    It was quiet for a while but than Juli asked the question I was trying to avoid.
    “So how was your day at Jeffs house?” she smiled. We broke up I told myself ….Well actually he broke up with me but I wanted it to happen, so technically WE broke up.
    “umm” I didn’t know what to say, “ well actually nothing happened like u expected”
    Her smile started to fade “wait? U didn’t?” she was gonna say kiss, but she knew I knew.
    “nope…the opposite sorta”
    Now she looked confused. “Opposite?” she repeated a couple of times.
    “ok the truth is…well,well we broke up.”
    She didn’t say anything for I while, and I couldn’t read her face, it was so blank. Then she smiled.
    “ohh good!” she praised.
    “what?!” I asked, with a question already answered.. “ I thought u were going to be like,”
    Then I imitated Julis voice as well as I could. “oh my gosh why you guys were like so perfect, bla bla.”
    She gave me a look of disgust. “no no no, you have got it all wrong, all a long I thought you guys were kind of like a Bad match..” my jaw dropped, than she raised her hand. “but you gotta understand I told you that you guys were cute together and all because I didn’t want to hurt your feelings.”
    Ohh? Now I was the confused one.
    “well thanks a lot, next time you get a bad match I ll remember to tell you you look perfect together..” I gave her a jokingly smile.. “next time just tell me? No biggy k?”
    “ok” she smiled
    “plus I didn’t really like him a whole lot, he was kinda too short”
    “hahaha!” she exploded.. “kinda too short?! Don’t you realize that you are like a foot shorter than him?” I was about to explain to her that it didn’t matter he was still short for a guy, but then Horizon high school stopped me and Juli both from breathing. Miss Angel stopped were all the other moms were stopping to drop of their kids. There was so many people, some guys had mustaches, probably
    there is a whole lot more to this chapter but i just wanted to give you and idea how i write.

    I only read one paragraph but so far it sounds really good thought. It has detail, sounds like something that can be found in a book. Anybody has a chance in writing. This quote applies to everything.."the more you do it..the better you get at it."

    What do you think of my poem "Whispers of Death" (I’m in high school)?

    Posted by admin on May 2nd, 2010 and filed under horizon high school | 2 Comments »

    In this glossy world,
    Where darkness is often mistaken for enlightenment,
    I reside alone surveying this ugly horizon.

    When the nearest sound to you is a child’s whimpering,
    When the only voice is in your head is your mother’s wailing,
    When the only thing you can see is torture and killing,
    You’ll know what I mean.

    Our children’s eyes are bloodshot,
    Their throats dried by their constant crying,
    They stand there desolate,
    Helplessly left dying.
    The women decaying removed from their sheds to rot forever,
    The children are deprived and left there to die,
    This sight is indicative that there is no solace on this merciless night.

    The enemies soar high these days,
    Their weapons laud their strengths and might,
    To them us people are intrusions,
    We are indefensible barriers easily swept away,
    But oh pagans! Mark my words!
    “We are not the dust brushed away by the wind.”
    You may torment us,
    You may drive us away,
    But we’ll sacrifice our every drop of blood on this land,
    And each bloody drop will leave a stain.
    It will be an omen:
    You seem to be blooming today but this will soon derail,
    Your ruthless reign in soon to fade,
    We’ll make sure we’re make our existence felt,
    We’ll make sure you melt the way icicles melt.

    I’m sure that from a High school student this overblown and trite screed will garner you an A in class.

    I don’t recommend trying to do further with it.

    How can I convince my parents to take me to the Bring Me The Horizon show?

    Posted by admin on April 30th, 2010 and filed under horizon high school | 1 Comment »

    In Charlotte, NC this Sunday.
    I’m a sophomore in High School, and live about 45 mins away from the venue they’re playing at. I’ve been to concerts on school nights before, always attending school the next day, but this is definitely the most hardcore band I’ve considered seeing on a school night.
    Plus, the past few times I’ve been to shows, they’ve all been bands like The Academy Is, PATD, We The Kings, etc and my friend’s mother has taken us.
    I’m positive my dad or mom wont like BMTH.
    I really would like to go, though. How can I convince them to take me?
    Oh, && they won’t drop me off at the venue, they have to stay the whole time.
    They might agree to that.
    I’ll check with them.
    My main problem is the fact that there might be a teen driver.

    My daughter (she’s 14), asked me if it was ok to attend a similar gig.
    Miles from here, and to go with her friend.
    I had no problem, giving responsibility, get’s respect.
    She had a blast.
    Would your parents consider, picking you up afterwards?
    You have to convince them, you are responsible, start at home..
    I wish you good luck from NZ.

    My SATs are on the horizon… How can I be ready?

    Posted by admin on April 28th, 2010 and filed under horizon high school | 3 Comments »

    have a few weeks before I start my Junior year of high-school, and will probably be taking my SATs at the end of the year. This is the most important test of my entire life, so I need to start studying and preparing because I plan to score a perfect 2400. I’m looking for any advice on what things I need to study, how much I need to study, where to study from, etc. ANY advice you are willing to give me will be appreciated more than you can imagine.

    If you need any information about me or my classes, just e-mail me or ask here in the question and I’ll tell you.
    or you can just wish me good luck if you like :D I’ll need it

    First off, there is no need to "plan on" a 2400. Even kids who get perfect scores don’t get in to every school where they apply, and acceptance has to do with a lot more than scores. (Most will tell you the most important piece is the rigor of you course load and your grades).

    That said, I took the SATs this past spring, and found that with preparation they really aren’t that daunting. Start off by signing up for the SAT Question of the Day at collegeboard.com. I would also really recomend taking a prep, course. I used Revolution Prep and raised my score from an 1860 to a 2150. Even if you don’t do a course, I think the best preparation is just taking a lot of practice tests. Good Luck!

    How to convince my parents..tips! change of school?

    How to convince my parents..tips! change of school!?
    Hey! i need help with some tips to convince my parents to lead my go to a different country to end my high school/(i’m in 10th)
    So i’m dealing with a really hard situation. My school is really difficult and i’m really lazy..if i don’t pass all the subjects(i will not pass) the school will close the doors for me.

    My school is one of the bests in my country and it has a different school calendar that the one used in my country..if i change to a different school i would have to start the year all over again.

    But i have an idea..i want to go to Argentina or USA to end my high school year.
    My brother lives in Argentina and my aunt in USA! i was thinking of convincing my parents to lead me move there to study…!
    This are my arguments to convince them:
    -expand my horizons
    -become independent
    -more opportunities
    -i would not be alone

    can anyone help me please

    Tell them it would be an opportunity to make up for the poor grades that you expect to receive. But, then you would have to pass your subjects to show that the switch was worth it. Don’t switch if you don’t intend to do the work.
