It was a very sunny day when I awake to go work on the fields. Today I had to pull the weeds as always. I got up very early at the crack of dawn, and most people aren't awake. As I walk through the narrow woods I thought of what I should do when I got back home. When I reached the field I was about morning and started working. After a short while, my Dad and younger sister come out and help me. We work all day long and was very tired. In the afternoon we returned home. By the river we saw some sails, but didn't know it was the Vikings, we thought it was some fishing men. It was a long walk back home and we were very tired, so we didn't rush. However instead of a bustling city our city was very quiet and only the sound of flames burning was heard.
My Dad hid my sister and me into a dark bush while he suspiciously go check on the village. AS he reached the top of the hill I heard him gasp. With my curiosity I rose up and follow him as my sister tagged along. We too gasp from the sight. Our village was burning and people were killed. After staring at the village for a while we head for our house we heard coughing.
It was from our house, as we lift the logs and house parts we saw the family in there. They were not injured badly, but got ill from all the smoke. However, they healed within a few weeks. Then we headed for a new town, somewhere where the Vikings are less likely to approach.
Now in my core class we are in the medieval time of history. We had just started studying about Charlemagne or Charles the great. He was a king in Europe during the middle ages. The most odd thing was that he was crowned by a pope. During those times kings and popes hate each other for their seek of power. However, Charlemagne was crowned king by a pope because he was a Christian. The popes taught Christianity and was happy for him to be king.
Some important thing that Charlemagne did was he united Europe under his rule. He roamed a big empire, almost a big as Rome. With this he spread Christianity because in every place that he ruled he build schools or learning places for people to learn. There were churches that taught the religion to everyone. Charlemagne was someone who liked learning and so he surround himself with different people scholars. With this he also made a learning place called Achen were it was a place of like a palace. However with his so great improvement his empire was harmed by Saxons, Germanic tribesmen because of his weak followers. That was why his empire didn't lasted very long.
My two main New Year's Resolution or goal this year is to be a good person and focus on my work grades. I want to improve all my grades by just not to get a high grade, but also understand the lesson. I want to attend school daily and be good at where ever I go. I want to have a good attitude and always be on my best. To succeed this I have been acting much more wise and nice than before. To also succeed in my work grade I asked for help, asked questions, and always try to understand the lesson.
Getting good grades at school is a very important, but even better you have to know the topic. If you only get good grades, then you just don't understand the lesson well. Now in Pre-Algebra I am having difficulties in a topic of solving called "Finding Percents." The last two days ago I couldn't find the answer to the problems. Since it was so confusing at first I tried to say that all the problems with percents in it you'll have to do it step by step and the problems without percents(which I know how to do) I will just divide. However I figured I was wrong when I was assigned to watch a video today for more information off the topic. Tonight I realized that the problems with percents were still different from eachother. One was like a word problem where you do step by step, then there was one were you just multiply, and another was to find out how much there was before the decline. So I have got these all mixed up. But now it is very easy for me.
To be polite and kind to others is a good way to not cause problems. It also makes you a better person. When your wise you are more faithful to do the work and jump into the ease. It cause less frustration.
As you can see, I am still trying to improve my goals throughout the year. Maybe I may have a better New Year's Resolution next year.
