A little information about me

My name is Hayley, and I would think of my writing as piña coladas. Sometimes I’m proud of my writing, but sometimes I feel like I could do better, but I can’t think of what I would do instead to improve. Just like piña coladas: sometimes they’re really good, but on the other case, you can’t list what you would put in the drink instead for it to be better. I love writing when there’s a fun topic to write about; I go on and on, and have to make myself come to a conclusion sentence instead of continuing to write. But when there’s a difficult topic to write about, I love the thrill of it being complicated, and having to really think what you have to write about. I think that this makes you understand yourself better because you might have a certain opinion about something, that you never knew you had. 

I always change my mind, but this goal has been consistent: I want to study journalism in college and have a career in some form of that. I do high school cheer, and I love it! I just recently quit dance a couple months ago because I didn’t have the passion for it anymore. Also my studio had tough teachers, and I just wanted to do it as a hobby. I still love watching dance, and I’m in Mrs. Chrest’s dance class. I’m the type of person where once you get home, I start doing my homework. Once I’m finished, I’ll be lazy. I don’t like starting my homework late because while I’m watching tv, I’ll be thinking, “I could’ve been doing me homework right now.” 

Summer reading response

Deadly Little Secrets is by Laurie Stolarz. Stolarz is the type of author who knows how to trick with readers minds. This bone-chilling book is an adventure to read, and once you start reading, you can't put it down! An anonymous stalker is stalking the main character, Camellia. they're leaving strange notes in her room mentioning how she will die, and to be careful. She also gets calls from this stalker with a no-caller ID. Camellia would tell her parents, but her mother is going through a difficult hardship because her sister tried to commit suicide.

As I was reading Deadly Little Secrets, I noticed how the author makes the reader second guess who the stalker is because there is little hints throughout the book where you think, "Oh I finally know who this person is!' Then, that suspicion will change in 10 pages. The only downside to this book was that it was a very slow start, and it was very boring in the beginning. However, once you get past that section, it becomes an addictive book. I would recommend this book to my friends; it's a great story!
