My Graduation Speech

Good Evening to all the teachers, parents, family, and to the Class of 2018. My name is Ricky Chirayil and I'm proud to be part of the Class of 2018. Thank You for being here today on this lovely day. I can´t believe the long journey that we have all went through together. Coming to Golf Middle School on my first day in 6th grade was quite scary. I knew that it´s usually hard to be new, but what I didn´t know was that this is Golf Middle School. Here in this community, everyone welcomes everybody and accepts everyone as friends. From my first day of school here at Golf to now, I can see that I have grown up for sure. I will miss all my memories here at Golf and especially hearing Mr. Atwood scream ¨Good Morning¨ as loud as he possibly can and Mrs. Conejo singing us all birthday songs. Now that I´m going to High School I can surely use the great advice my teachers gave me. Make sure you don´t fall asleep in class. Sorry Mr. Carro, Mr. Carris, and Mrs. Joyner for all that. Also never be late to class which I have gotten speeches throughout 8th grade by Mr. Atwood. Last but not least is to make sure to follow every shot I take which I better do for Mr. Gilman. 

I would like to tell all my future graduates to always remember that everyone is here for them and that Middle School will go fast so you should enjoy every bit of it. I hope all of you guys will have a great time and I hope the Class of 2018 and I can have a great time in high school. Last but not least I want to thank all my teachers who have taught and supported me and my family. I´m gonna miss all of you and hope you have a great time ahead for you. 

Thank You

My Food Story

Everyone loves it when they don´t have to eat food from home and can go eat outside somewhere. There was a time when all I wanted to do was eat subway for a week. It started in Monday when I asked my parents if I can have Subway and they said sure. I always get Steak and Cheese with a lot of vegetables. The next day there was nothing at my house to eat. My parents usually don´t like it when we buy food from outside many times. Since I kept on asking my parents they buy it again. I was just getting addicted to it and I couldn´t stop liking it. That´s when school ended the next day my dad picked me up and just went straight to Subway. He said why not eat it again. I was starting to get more tired of it since I had it for 3 straight days. The next day I was certain we wouldn´t have it but we just buy it again. I thought I would throw up. The next day I asked them if we can eat from home and we finally did.

Preparing for Parcc

Parcc testing is an important test and you got to make sure that you´re ready to take the test. It may be boring to take to take the test but you got to make sure that you prepare for the test. The first thing you should obviously do is take some practice tests. These practice tests will help you a lot. You should also ask your teacher and make sure you clear any doubt that you have. Another thing that you gotta make sure is that you don´t sleep late. If you do then you´re just gonna feel sleep during the test. You can´t be on any electronic devices late. This all affects your sleeping. In the morning you should eat a healthy breakfast and you will do great on the test.

Dear Diary,

Today we left to go to India. I was quite happy to leave because I found out that I would miss a couple weeks of school and that I wouldn't have to do my science project. I woke up early morning that day along with my family. Many days of packing would finally be payed off and I would finally get to rest up to go to vacation. My uncle drove to our house to pick us up and finally we were about to head out. 

We finally arrive at the airport and say our goodbyes. Once we're in the play all we do is basically just watch movies. Once we get to the airport in India we're informed that one our luggage is missing. We were completely stunned and then after a week we got it back. We were all delighted to see it and were ready to enjoy the vacation.

Home

Everyone who has a home loves their home. A home is necessary for everyone. To me a home is a place where your family is with you. I don't think you can say a certain place is your home if your family is not there with you. To have a home the number one most necessary thing is to have a family there with you. It's not really a certain place, it's the place where you have your beloved ones with you. More than one place can be home as long as your family is there. Every place that you go to is gonna be your home as long as you have the comfort that your family will be there. My home is my family because you should be safe in your home and I'm always safe with my family.

Photograph Post

This picture helps understand my life because it shows a basketball court. Basketball has been my favorite sport and I don't know what I would do without it. Ever since I was a kid I fell in love with the game of basketball because it's just my passion and I love playing it. This sport means a lot to me because whenever I'm upset I just play basketball and feel a lot better. I've done many basketball leagues and these leagues have helped me develop my basketball skills. 


This picture is supposed to represent my cousins. I have probably a million cousins because my family is big and I'm close to every one of them. I hang out with my cousins a lot and we usually have family parties once in a while and I get really happy to see them. We've all been really close since we were little and we always laugh at pictures of us from when we were little. To end they mean so much to me and I don't know what I would do without them.

Songs of Life

All these songs teach me something. Listening to these songs always help me and tells me the right things to do. They all teach me a lie lesson and how I should grow up.

Hall of Fame-  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk48xRzuNvA

This song teaches me that it doesn't matter who you are, you can be whatever you want to be. If you trust in yourself and believe in yourself everything will be with you. All it takes to be whatever you want is pure hard work.

Thunder-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AqjqOqNrjw

This song teaches me a big lesson which is to never give up. At the end of the song it says to never give up in your dreams which means to believe in them. You should believe in yourself and always have hope.

Lose Yourself- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Yhyp-_hX2s

This song tells me that you have opportunities and things can get in your way. You should never be hopeless or thing negative. Never be nervous because that can take away an opportunity. 

New Rules- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2qgadSvNyU

This song helps me to understand to not trust anyone. You can't just trust whoever you meet because you will never be able to tell if this person is a good person or a bad guy. No one can be trusted tight away.

Happy- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM

This song teaches something really important which is happiness. Being happy can make so many people's day. Everyone always gets a smile when they see others happy. This shows me that we all need to be happy and cheerful.

Creative Short Story

Someone must have seen him, because the police were at his door. They rang his doorbell and he took quite a while to open. Then finally he opened the door. He had a worried look in his face like anyone would if they saw the police.
         "We have gotten information that you were the one who robbed the house on the other street"
         "It's not me this is not true. I've known them for a long time and we've been really close friends. I would never do something like this to them.
         "Well we're going to have to check the house to see if we can find any money or jewelry of theirs that went missing."
         "I won't let you check my house." Te officer pushes him and his obedient helpers watch him and guide him making sure that he doesn't get hurt. They look all over the front floor and don't find anything. The officer knew it would be in a tough spot. After checking the top floor as well, he still came down empty-handed.
         "I told you, why did you even think it was me?"
         "We got information from a kid at the house saying he saw you." He made an even more worried face. As the officer was leaving, he tripped and hit the ground and saw that there was a underground path.
         "You don't have to check that it's important things" he screams. The officer continues and comes back up with all the stolen things.
         "You are under arrest" he screams. Like that the family gets everything back and the robber goes to jail.

Free Post Of The Week

If I could spend more time engaged in something it would be on basketball which is my favorite sport. I would want to train for this sport to get better. This is a sport which I'm already engaged in. By training more for this then I can get better and it would be easier for me. One thing I would have to trade in order to play basketball more is family time. If I wanted to play basketball more, then I would have to reduce the time I spend with family and friends. The biggest problems I have about this activity would probably me shooting and people to play with. I don't always get to ball with someone else. What motivates me to play basketball is other basketball players that play professionally. I always watch them and wonder how it would be, being in the same position as them. I always want to be able to score and help others for basketball so I want too get better at it. I've been playing basketball since I was young and I always don't have the time to play it. I do play basketball in leagues and I do go with my friends a lot to play as well. I think that this would be the best activity to be more engaged in this year.
