I think this because it teaches us about disabilities that us nor our classmates have. It is important for us to know about this because many people may struggle with this disability and we should know their story.This memoir as well as all others are important because it brings everybody together. We read about one subject to inform us on how other people struggle and it gives us hope, because if they can make it through this, we can make it through anything. Also, if we know how people with this disablelity live, if we come along anyone like this, we just know how hard it is for them, and we know to treat them with respect. ===

It really bothered me about how Samantha was told something, and she understood, and practiced for a really long time, like piano, and then when asked toplay it again, she absolutly cannot do it, and she COMPLETLY forgets the peice of info. She acts like she doesn't even remember the informatuion and was never exposed to it, and has to start all over. Iwould be absoultly devestated if that happened to me, and i don't think I could have lived without cracking just like Samantha did. <span style="COLOR: rgb(251,9,132); BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(5,5,5)"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 130%; COLOR: rgb(229,16,109); FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(3,2,2)"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 130%; COLOR: rgb(242,13,153); FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(5,5,5)"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 70%; COLOR: rgb(255,0,112); BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(5,5,5)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(251,9,132); BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(5,5,5)">~Nicole<333((Polished Journal Questions #4)) <span style="FONT-SIZE: 110%; COLOR: rgb(27,230,248); FONT-FAMILY: Georgia,serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,0,115)"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%; COLOR: rgb(229,16,219); FONT-FAMILY: Georgia,serif"><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(246,244,244)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(244,16,85)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(16,244,241); FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif"><span style="COLOR: rgb(254,16,144); BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(16,14,14)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(235,61,116)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(231,13,148); BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(242,242,242)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(247,8,109)"> __ My Thirteenth Winter  __  is an important memoir for us to read because it teaches us about a learning disability that <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(244,244,225)">I have never heard of. I always thought learning disabilities just slowed down the process of learning. I never knew that it could disable part of your learning and cause you to never really understand a concept. As much as Samantha tried to understand, she just couldn’t grasp the information. As human beings, this memoir offers us understanding to people who are born with disabilities and problems. I know they can not control them and they didn’t choose to have a disability. I know not to judge people by how every one else is. <span style="COLOR: rgb(245,20,156)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(235,61,116)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(231,13,148); BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(242,242,242)">XOXOOOO HILIT :D

5. My Thirteenth Winter is an important memoir to read because it teaches valuable lessons, such as how to appreciate our lives and to be happy with who you are. Although you might think at some points in life you feel let down, most likely it is not that bad because you have a family, friends, and many other things. As readers this memoir offers us an understanding about the difficulties people have to live with and to always be grateful. XOXO Miranda S. =D <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I think __My Thirteenth Winter__ is important to read, because it teaches us about life with a learning disability. Before I read the book, I thought a learning disability only affected your school work. When I finished the book, I learned that a learning disability can affect your life. It can ruin friendships, and can even make you sick. I realized that I should be happy the way I am. From the book we can learn to appreciate our lives, because some people have harder ones. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"><span style="COLOR: rgb(172,0,255)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(235,234,234); BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(233,47,227)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(236,19,198); BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(242,143,54)"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Sivan XoXo <33

I think __My Thirteenth Winter__ is an important book to read it is good to learn about how people go through life with a disability. I always thought that when you have a learning disability you have trouble in school and socially. I never realized that it could make you feel sick and horrible at home as well. I also realized that the person with the disability is not the only one suffering; the family also goes through a lot. Samantha's parents got so frusterated and I don't blame them. It also teaches us how fortunate we really are.

What suprised me was how Samantha couldnt do math or grammar, but she <span style="COLOR: rgb(191,51,230)">could write in such detail.

I love this book, it teaches me how lucky I am to have the ability to learn and comprehend easily. What made me sad was that Samantha hid her learning disability from so many people. I think that instead of hiding from it, she could have found hope and help. Also, some people in her grade would hopefully understand, and they would help her.

What also suprised me was that Samantha didn't get grammar, but her story was very well dtailed and very well written.

<span style="COLOR: rgb(249,21,147)">So far I have loved this book! It has been so interesting, and fun to read. Her journey throughout school, her struggles and the stuff she excels me is really fun to read about. One thing that made me curious is the side affects or stuff that happens because of her disability. The fact that she can't do math at all, but she excels in English is really interesting. Also, how she knows how to do something, and then asked to go back and do it again, but fails makes me wonder what it would be like if I had that disability. <span style="COLOR: rgb(43,121,227)">~Nicole R. ;) <333  <span style="COLOR: rgb(43,121,227)">I really LOVE this book so far! its really interesting. When i was reading this, I felt horrible for her. When she had those anxiety attacks, I felt like I was have one too. Reading this book, really makes me think about how easy everyday tasks are to accomplish for me, but they may be impossible to people like Samantha. You learn not to take things for granted as much. I really liked when she get put in middle school specail education math, because it seemed like she was happier and she belonged their. i'm glad she got to be where she wanted too, but she earned it! she fought for her rights to do what was right for her. YAY her! -<span style="COLOR: rgb(20,105,230)">Jane F.

exx ohhh

**<span style="COLOR: rgb(233,125,12)">I really like this book. It makes me so sad to see all the things I take for granted. I should be happy for the simplist things, like being able to add (even though i hate math) becasue some people go everyday without being able to do bassic things like this. When I get really mad about something i usually think "I hate my life!" but when i think about how truly lucky i am i know that I have a great life. I think this book is helping me realize to appriciate the small things in life. It surprises me that she feels like she can't tell ANYONE about her problems. I know I could trust my Best friends (like you guys!) and family to share this with. =) Jennie

She coudln't tell time, couldn't dial phone numbers, couldn't count money, following directions or understand the math she was learning. It makes me feel happy to live the life I do.

She didn't want people to know who she truly was. At first I thought that this is a really bad way to handle a problem, but when i thought about it some more, i realized that if i had this disability i would probably do the same thing. I would't want people to think of me as stupid or slow so I would probably go on pretending that everything was ok. =) Jennie!!

One conflict Samantha has in this story is that she cant admit to herself or others that she has a learning disability. Instead, she continues to put herself down by calling herself stupid and lazy. This brings down her self-confidence. She thinks she is ugly, fat and out of style. she stops eating and being social. this is definitely a problem! ---Jane F. <333
