Where are you in your 20 Book Challenge?

               In my 20 Book Challenge, I have only read 10 books. I have read: Marijuana, Hooked, Drugs and Trying to be Perfect, Drugs and Friends, Drugs Testing , and more but I have forgotten the names of the books. I think could've read more books, but I have a lot of school work to do and I'm just too lazy to read. In the future I'll try to read more books, my goal when 4th quarter ends is that I'll have read 20 books.


Of the books you have read this quarter, which was your favorite? Why?

               Out of all the books that I have read in 2nd quarter my favorite book will have to be, Drugs Testing. This is my favorite book because it explains, what is drug testing, and how different drugs could last in your system. Then, it tells a story about a high schooler, how he had been drug tested by his school, he was then tested positive, so he cut from his basketball because he was tested positive for drugs. Overall, the book was very detailed, and I really recommend reading this book.



What has been the most challenging part of 2nd Quarter for you and what did/can you do to help overcome this?

               The most challenging part of 2nd quarter in ELA was that we had to much homework to complete. I had a bunch of homework to do in my other classes , but when you include ELA into the conversation it's like I have trillions of homework to do. One of the strategies that I use to overcome this problem as by going to the After School Program and doing my homework there, and I'll ask one of the teachers in the program for help if I don't understand one of the questions

Book talk

The book that I finished reading was, Hooked. This book was talking about people having addictions and how addictions gets started. There were many people who were talking about their addictions, but I’m going to talk about one character that has caught my attention. In the book it talk about this girl teenager in New Jersey, she was a little out of shape, and she wanted to lose weight because kids at her were making fun of her, so she woke up 6 in the morning everyday, and she was grinding hard until it got a little bit out of control. Her parents notice she had an addiction of exercising when she didn't want to go to her grandmother’s for Christmas, they had been going there for many years for Christmas.

I really do recommend this book because it talks about all kinds of things that can happened to people when they encountered any contact with anything. It gives you advices about what to do with these situations. So if anyone how is going through this kind of stuff, the picking up this book will best suit you. Or if you want to just want to have background knowledge about these things, then pick up the book.
