me and my summer adventures!!

            Hello! My name is Kelly Ren. Junior year has officially started, and I'm already feeling the pressure of living up to the expectations of an 11th grader! Having all but one AP class, I need to set goals for myself in order to succeed in the end. I plan on paying attention and taking notes during class when I need to, having an optimistic outlook on my classes, and preparing/studying for tests/quizzes. These goals will definitely help me stay focused this year. By the end of this year, I plan on learning a lot of interesting and useful information for next year. I want to be educated on new things that I haven't gotten a chance to learn before. Also, I plan on looking into some colleges this year to get ready for senior year and college applications! I am excited for going to College when the time comes! 


          This was one of the best summers I've ever had. In a nutshell, my family and I went to China to visit relatives, the World Expo, and the Terra Cotta Warriors. A once-in-a-life-time chance, the World Expo was an incredible place. I learned so much about each country's culture and even discovered some new countries that I had never heard of before! Along with the World Expo, I was amazed at the size and vastness of the tomb of the Terra Cotta Warrios. Seeing it right before my eyes was awe-inspiring! It made me appreciate ancient history and art. It was devastating to hear that a lot of the warriors were burnt down. Nevertheless, this summer was definitely one of the most exciting trips I've ever been on!
