Eva Olsson and the Holocaust

Eva Olsson is a very power full amazing life changing woman who survived the Holocaust. she came into my school to talk to us about her life story and her struggle to stay alive.

At first when i found out htat the first thing we were doing this morning was having someone talk to us about her life story i had no clue that it was happening but didn't really think it was going to be boring consitering the fact that i love history. so when we got into the chapel and sat down they started to talk about how eva Olssen just recently came out with her story about her life in the Holocaust. Once she started to talk i really got into it. 

The part were she started to cry was when she started to talk about her mother. the holocaust started in 1933 and ended in 1945 shwas only 19 years old when she was separated from her mother 19 years old. how would you feel if you were separated from your mother that young with so much responsibilitie but now you have no one to old and get through it.

Not only did she lose her mother but she lost her entire family. 


When the ally forces took over and ended the holocaust she moved to sweden were she married and had two chidren. to make you feel even worse about how sad her life is her husband died at a young age of 37. although her life was tough she got through every day of her hard life. She may not had a smile on her face but she surrvived because she had confidence. confidence that made her want to live her hard life for one more day or more she just knew she had to. Thats why shes here today!

Norval

Norville: now some people were like oh wow Norville was so fun but me on the other hand didn’t. Well I guess no one would get offended unless my councilor looks me up which would not be good because now I’m just going to talk about how bad she was. So the started with the bus, oh the bus what a fun time, or not. Well I brought my new edition of my favorite magazine plus the extra edition. So since I had two I decided to share them with other GIRLS to look at them I wasn’t expecting any boys to get hold of them because well there full of like girl stuff. As the magazine passed from GIRL to GIRL the boys started to try and get hold of them by grabbing them and hitting people with them. Ruining my new magazines that is now torn and hard to read!
Once we got there things weren’t that bad even the clothing pin butt game wasn’t that bad just tiring, but it was kind of fun. After a few fun little games we split up into groups which I wasn’t to pleased with that because I wasn’t put with my best friends. That I got over pretty quickly because the group was pretty fun and we worked well together. Now we get to the juicy part the part that was the LEAST AMOUNT OF FUN. This was because of one person whos name escapes me but you could tell that she would surprise you with her meaness when you see her. I shiver when ever I think about her. Now I should propaly start telling you about her before I get to carried away. So she was the young just out of university looking girl. She was nice at first and acted like she really cared about us and if we had fun or not. As we got to the first activity she started to tell us what we had to do but would get mad at us if we just started playing with the sticks but can she really blame us I mean if she’s making it boring she can’t expect us to pay attention. So later on she would start to get mad at us for some really silly reasons like sitting on wire that she says will brake but its meant to be stood on. i don't know some may think it's not that bad but its something you had to be there for.

i believe that our team did well because we really worked well together but if someone didn't get to do something i don't think that it was our teams fault i thing it was more the person who didn't get to do it. that may be confusing but if they wanted to do something they should of said "hey, listen i haven't gone so can you spot for me so i can go" and then they may have gotten to go but they stayed quiet.
Something that i think our team didn't to well was listen to what everyone had to say. This is really important because a team can't work together if they don't listen to each other. sometimes i found that the ideas that people put off as bad ideas turned out to be the best ideas and the ones that work so that bugged me a lot.
In conclusion Monday was an O.K day not the best but not bad.

does clothing shape who i am?

I've never really thought about it but it kinda does shape everyone. it shouldn't really but if you walked into your school wearing a pair of leather and a baggy army jacket you would be off to a very bad day. then again if you walked into school with the latest most expensive clothing from the best designers then you would not only have a good day but it would properly be full of comment. Oh but not from the kid in the army jacket because if there wearing that they properly think its fashionable. but a lot of people like myself go it to stores like abercrombie or american eagle and find its expensive but then go it to a less expensive store but find the same thing what do think?

Its hard for me to say because i go to a private school and we only get dress down days (D.D.D.) once a month so we all try and dress in the newest and best clothe even though if we didn't wear a uniform we would not wear that. i have heared some crazy stories about girls who don't have uggs and make there mom sew the ugg symbol on the back because she was being picked on and that she couldn't afford real uggs
