Welcome Back
This is one of my favorite pictures of 2014 because I just think it is really cool how the photographer caught the firework in perfect contrast with the night sky. I also like how you can see the moon in the background.
This is one of the top pictures of 4014 because there is so many famous people in one selfie so it makes it even more awesome.
I like this picture because the photographer did a really good job at capturing the moment of all of these people crammed onto a tiny boat. You can really feel the emotion that was going on.
- I think the best song of 2014 was Jay-Z and Beyonce's "Drunk In Love" because it is still very popular and I listen to it all the time. It is a very catchy song and I can sing along to all of it, plus almost everybody knows the song.
- I think the best movie of 2014 was The Hunger Games: Catching Fire because I saw it about 5 times and I loved it so I'm sure other people saw it a bunch of times. I thought it was a very well thought out movie.
- I think Ebola was definitely the top news story of the year because I talked about it with my friends all the time. Everyone was scared that they would get it so every body always talked about it.
- I think Beyonce was the most important person in 2014 because a lot of teenagers talked about her a lot. A lot of teens started calling her Queen and Mom because they love her so much.
- I feel like Cristiano Ronaldo was the most important sports person of 2014 because all of the girls obsessed over him whenever he played in the FIFA world cup.
1. Something fun that happened to me this holiday is getting to see my cousins. They flew all the way down here from Florida and I hadn't seen them in about 2 years so it was a great surprise.
2. My resolutions for 2015 are to exercise more and just eat healthier so I can loose weight.
3. I am looking forward to Spring Break of 2015 because I am going to Port Aransas with all of my friends and it is going to be very fun.
