Favorite Movie
Welcome to our blog. (:
Hi! Entry for this week is about Favorite Movie. So, my friend and I decided to choose '' DEAR DUMB DIARY '' as favorite movie. The story is about a girl named Jamie Kelly who studies at Mackeral Middle School and her best friend who always helps her, Isabella. Her nemesis, Angeline and her boy of the dreams is Hudson Rivers.
The short synopsis about the movie.
The Principal of Mackeral Middle School want to eliminate the art club and want the students to do a Jonathon Marathon. The news makes Jamie and Isabella disappointed so they plan a fundraiser to get enough money to save the club. So, they go home to start the project, but people didn't know the fund was not just for poor. Later, Jamie's aunt, Carol came to and stay in their home for a couple days and yet Jamie didn't know that Carol had been in relationship with her own principal. Though Jamie's aunt was very happy because she also gets to work in Mackeral Middle School with her niece, Jamie. Now Jamie goes to the principal's office and asks '' You can't have EARTH without the word ART '' it would just be '' EH ''. Her rival Angeline was very competitive with Jamie in the marathon. But Jamie still won the marathon and in the end even Angeline congratulated her. When Jamie got back home, she saw that the principal engaged her aunt. But the most shocked thing was when she realized that Angeline is actually her cousin! Angeline still didn't let up when it came to competing with Jamie for Hudson Rivers.

FAVORITE CHARACTER AND CHARACTERISTIC
Jamie Kelly
13 years old girl with green eyes and dirty (very dirty) blonde/brown hair.
- POLITE
Jamie don't mind when Isabella torments her. She actually thinks it's for friendship and kindness.
- SUSPICIOUS
Jamie always put warning in her diary about how nobody has permission to read her diary.
POSITIVE MESSAGE (:
Jamie is insightful, expressive, and eager to inspire changes she believes will benefit herself and her friends, even if it does come at the expense of other peers. In so doing, though, she learns the value of inner beauty and the importance seeing past people's appearances. She steals a confidential file from the school office and is the unwitting participant in a charity scam, but she makes amends on both counts. An incident with her diary raises question about what's appropriate to write (or say) about friends and enemies. She briefly on the hot seat among her classmates when her private thoughts come to light.
Sorry if any grammar errors in this entry :)
THANK YOU FOR READ! DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT DOWN BELOW (: THANKS TO MY MEMBERS, AYU, FARAH, DINA, MAHIRAH THAT ALWAYS GIVE SUPPORT TO ME! :) :) :)

Medical Discovery
Hi! My entry for this week is about MEDICAL DISCOVERY. I choose this topic because I will tell you about the first British-born woman who received the medical degree in the United States. The woman that i want to talk about is Elizabeth Blackwell.
Elizabeth Blackwell was born on 3 February 1821 in Bristol, Gloucestershire, England UK. She was the first woman to graduate from medical school, a pioneer in promoting the education of women in medicine in the United States, and a social and moral reformer in both the United States and in the United Kingdom.
Let's know her background guys!
In 1832, Blackwell and her family moved to the United States, first
settling in New York and later moving to Cincinnati, Ohio. After her
father’s death in 1838, Blackwell (who was versed in French and German),
her mother and two older sisters all worked as educators to make ends
meet.
PRIVATE LIFE
None of the five Blackwell sisters ever married. Elizabeth thought courtship games were foolish early in her life, and prized her independence.[1] When commenting on the young men trying to court her during her time in Kentucky, she said: "...do not imagine I am going to make myself a whole just at present; the fact is I cannot find my other half here, but only about a sixth, which would not do."[2] Even during her time at Geneva Medical College, she rejected advances from a few suitors.[2]
There was one major controversy, however, in Blackwell's life: Alfred Sachs, a Jewish man of 26 from Virginia. He was very close with both Kitty Barry and Blackwell, and it was widely believed in 1876 that he was a suitor for Barry, who was 29 at the time. The reality was that Blackwell and Sachs were very close, so much so that Barry felt uncomfortable being around the two of them. Sachs was very interested in Blackwell, then 55 years old. Barry was in love with Sachs, and was mildly jealous of Blackwell.[22] Blackwell thought that Sachs lived a life of dissipation and believed that she could reform him. In fact, the majority of her 1878 publication Counsel to Parents on the Moral Education of the Children was based on her conversations with Sachs. Blackwell stopped correspondence with Alfred Sachs after the publication of her book
LAST YEARS AND DEATH
Blackwell, in her later years, was still relatively active. In 1895, she published her autobiography, Pioneer Work in Opening the Medical Profession to Women. It was not very successful, selling fewer than 500 volumes.
After this publication, Blackwell slowly relinquished her public reform
presence, and spent more time traveling. She visited the United States
in 1906 and took her first and last car ride. Blackwell's old age was
beginning to limit her activities.
In 1907, while holidaying in Kilmun, Scotland, Blackwell fell down a flight of stairs, and was left almost completely mentally and physically disabled.[23] On 31 May 1910, she died at her home in Hastings, Sussex, after suffering a stroke that paralyzed half her body. Her ashes were buried in the graveyard of St Munn's Parish Church, Kilmun, and obituaries honouring her appeared in publications such as The Lancet and The British Medical Journal.
The British artist Edith Holden, whose Unitarian family were Blackwell's relatives, was given the middle name "Blackwell" in her honor.

HISTORICAL of her ACHIEVEMENT!
While in her mid-20s, Blackwell had a friend suffering from a terminal
disease who had felt embarrassed going to male doctors, lamenting that
she would have fared better having a female physician. Deeply affected
by her friend's words and struggling with an affair of the heart as
well, Blackwell opted to pursue a career in medicine. But the road to
becoming a doctor was not an easy one. As some other women did at the
time, she studied independently with doctors before getting accepted in
1847 to Geneva Medical College in upstate New York. Her acceptance was
deemed by the student body as an administrative practical joke.
