Best of 2016

 This photo stood out to me because this is a little baby and her family were injured. This little girl was injured during a suicide bombing. when people are doing these actions they aren't thinking of other people lifes or how this will affect them. all the people committing these actions on just thinking about how this one decision will affect their lifes.

 Oscar Pistorius is a paralympic gold medalist. Oscar is walking across the courtroom. He is on the trial of murdering his girlfriend. I would have never thought that he would have killed his girlfriend since he disabled. 

I like the photo because it looks like usain bolt is smiling at the other competitors like he already knows like he is winning gold. This can also be taken has to be really confident which is basically what 2016 is all about.

1. What was the best song of 2016?

Justin Bieber- No Sense- I'm just really obsessed with Justin Bieber. I have always loved Justin. I have been a fan of him since he became famous. this song is also my favorite like I really like the beat and he is just perfect. 

2. What was the best movie of 2016?

suicide squad- This the best movie of 2016 because I'm in LOVE with the joker. I really just love how Jared Leto portrayed the Joker. I also really like the relationship between the joker and Harley Quinn. The Joker is just so everything.

3. What the most important news story of the year?

I think the most important news story of the year is trump winning the presidential electon. I think this story is really important because a lot of people really hate trump and this just goes to show to never let anyone get you down. I honestly don't really care about this stuff but people are really too sensitive nowadays and get offended about every little thing. 

4. Who was the most important person of 2016 in your opinion?

I think Donald Trump is the most important person of 2016. I only said him because I didn't like anyone else on the list. they said Beyonce for her halftime performance, I personally think that's crazy cause she didn't affect the world or our daily lives.

5. What was the biggest sports OR entertainment story OR sports/entertainment person of 2016 (you should google what is appropriate for your choice), I leave this one to you to find a photo for.

I honestly don't really know. I don't want like sports talks and stuff like that. I would sound a little off if I talked about this since I don't know anything about this topic.

1. Tell me what is the one thing that happened on your holiday that you will remember? It can be a trip, a family visit, a present, something fun.

One thing that I will remember that happened over this holiday is that my sister bought a puppy and that my grandparents came in and surprised us after we got home from school.

 
2. What are your resolutions for the 2017 year?
Some of my new years regulations are to try a lot more in school and just get my stuff done. Another resolution is to be nice ti more people and to be friends a lot more people. 

3. What are you looking forward to in 2017?

I'm looking forward to the new people to come in my life. I'm also very excited for the new memories im going to make with all my friends.
