I can't believe it is almost Christmas. To me the wear has gone so fast, that I can still remember the first day of school, and everyone was all nervous.I thought I was going to puke, I had about a million butterflies in my stomach . After a while, maybe after a couple a weeks later I felt more at home, and now I look forward to coming to school everyday. I am anxious to learn, and to read. I like to discover thins that I had never known before and tell my parents and siblings, and to them it is always fascinating.
       Anyway Christmas is coming, and I am so excited, I don't know what I am going to get or what we are going to do, but as long as we are all healthy and together is the best thing I can ask for. Now I don't have to worry about homework and then I can start the year fresh and at zero. With all my mistakes and problems behind, that always takes off wieght from my back! Now I can wake up late and sleep all I want, except for doing my chores that has to be done first, even in Winter.
      This makes me so happy I am always in a good mood, spirit, and love. I can be with all my family without having to have them wait for me at night so that we all sleep at the same time. Since I don't have time to play with my little brother on school days when I get a lot of homework, I can pay attention to all the weird and adorable things he does and that I am not able to see. The best thing about Christmas is that I can celebrate that I have another year with all my beloved family, I am able to say I am sometimes a naughty and bad girl, but at the end I am always good and nice. Wow, Christmas is here !! Yay, let the fun begin!!!!!
 
     This is the first chapter to a book I want to make. It was a dark winter morning , when Edgar was to see his dear princess Irma, she is the princess of the winds. She is too mary her loved prince. The best of it all is that she actually loves him, she got to choose who she was to marry. The problem is that she is to mary him  and love him forever, but she cannot show the world how important he is to her, neither can he show how much he loves her in the court yard, because of their rule. The rule is if you mary someone that you chose to, you may not show what you really fell inside for the dark fact that they will know and that they will purposely do something bad to him so that you will have to learn to love him.
      The thing is that on order to get married you must not know how to love, you must learn. So if you loved him or her you had to pretend to regain their love, so that it is apparent that you are strong and smart enough to love and learn to love. It was important to show that you were smart, so your people could be compassionate for other people. 


 
    In the article , Struggle For Smarts, it talks about the way they teach in Japan and how people will actually try to do  something right, and  some people just give up. It also talks about how a boy in the classroom could not draw a 3D cube. So the teacher told him to go up to the board, so he could work on his. That is much different than how teachers do it now, they usually put the best student to show as the example. Well that boy kept trying and trying until it was the end of the class and everyone applauded him  for finally getting it right. He sure was proud of himself. It also says that here in the U.S struggle because we are not smart, and over there they  see struggle an oppotunity to get it right or correct after hard work and thinking.
       I think we read this for a very important reason.
