I’m part of my school’s Model United Nations (MUN) club and tomorrow we are going to New York City for the annual high school MUN four-day conference. My school is assigned Azerbaijan and North Korea as our countries, and my committee is North Korea EcoFin. That means that I’m a North Korean delegate in the Economy and [...]
I can’t believe that somehow I omitted this HUGE detail from my last post. I didn’t even remember to blog about this until yesterday, the day after I returned home. Incroyable, Dominique, mon Dieu, incroyable. Alors, je suis allee au Madrid et Paris pendant le vacances de fevrier avec ma lycee! I had a wonderful [...]
Here’s my post regarding Sue Water’s blogging challenge and this is my second year participating in her annual challenge. I’ve decided to post about how blogging has enabled me to connect to a global audience. I started my blog in early March of 2009. I did not really have much idea of what I’d be [...]
It’s tough narrowing down all the great blogs out there but some of them really do stand out. I think the best student blog is Abbey’s blog Jazzing Up Eighth Grade. I’ve liked her blog ever since she started it; she’s an excellent writer and her posts are always interesting. She also maintains her blog [...]
Having a positive digital footprint is being aware of what you publish or say anywhere on the internet and how you present yourself to the world. This could be on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Edublogs, etc, etc… The internet is an amazing resource but like anything it needs to be used wisely. Everything that you post [...]
One element of challenge 6, which I have chosen to do, is to write about a typical school day. I started high school this year, I’m a freshman, and I LOVE it!!! It’s so fun (although very demanding academically). My school has seven periods per school day (including lunch) and seven different classes. Therefore we [...]

Tomorrow is my fourteenth birthday! I can’t believe how fast this past year went by; it seems like not that long ago that I was writing my blog post for the 13th birthday! I’m not having a birthday party this year, and it’d be somewhat hard with my knee, but I’m still looking forward to [...]
Photos from my eighth grade class trip to NYC (despite the approximate 6 hour bus ride there, it was very fun): Photo taken from the dinner/dance cruise on the Hudson River. Reception Hall at Ellis Island. West Side Story! a.k.a the musical my school saw on Broadway! After touring the UN, I was inspired to work [...]
