On this trip we went to a place called Frogbridge Millstone, at this place their were millions of things to do. The main thing that I did was play gaga. It started out as just me and Jacob, then Liam came, and then just tons of people showed up to play. Imagine a nonagon (nine sides) with about 20 people, some were from the other school that was their and the majority was from this school. Teachers and students joined, and at one point it got out of hand since their was so many people for such a small shape. At one point later on it was just me and another person and we were playing with ghost hands, which is when you get out you can use your hands to hit the ball. Almost everyone was out to get me, everyone except for MA, and for a while I was dogging a lot almost all of the time, until one of the teachers had hit it towards me and as I went to move my right foot went on its side as I tripped and it twisted. After that when I was walking it hurt a lot, and it still hurts now I walk. To top off this experience, when we were playing later on about an hour later I stepped on something sharp that cut my foot and made it bleed, ironically it was the same foot. The bad part about all of this is that I got out both times. The good part about playing was that me and MA were doing cartwheels, jumping around and doing unnecessary things to doge the ball. In the end the trip was really fun and was probably the best school day there has ever been.Why I write
I love to play pool, not the one that you swim in and has water, but the kind that you play on a table. I play pool because it's a way for me and my Uncle to do something together. When my Uncle was younger his Dad taut him how to play and how to be good at it, now my Uncle passes it on to me. My Uncle doesn't go easy or doesn't be cheap, because it's not about winning or loosing, it's just about us doing something together. The best part is when I do something that surprises myself and my Uncle, and he congratulates me.
Friends, friends are people who you are close with and understand you. In life you can have many friends but there is only one that is the best. In my life I have a really good friend, he doesn't go to the same school but he does live in the same state. We are the same age and have a lot in common, our life is almost the same, we know basically everything about each other and we can even have a conversation that if someone heard it they could not understand it. We don't even have to talk or finish a sentence because we know what is going to be said. One main thing that brings us together is how both of us have a tragic incident that happened in our lives, ever since I was two my parents have been dead, and his mom died from cancer a couple of years ago. We both stick up for each other and if something bad happens there is four words that's kind of like an inside joke that will just make it better. We both have the a lot of the same hobbies, we both like skateboarding, basketball, and playing video games together. My friend Daniel.

4/2/15 March of the Penguins The circle of life, this is the concept that defines how every species lives their life. You could be the lucky one and live or you could be very unlucky and get eaten. For penguins this is a very big deal because there are young that rely on the mothers to gather their first meal, and if that mother dies then most likely the father and juvenile. The circle never ends, because as one life ends another one begins. There are many obstacles that the Emperor Penguin has to face in there life, and it can either be the penguins fate to die or to live on and start a family. Storms are one obstacles that the male penguins have to endure at one point of there life. At this time in the male penguins life the females are off getting food, while the males keep the egg warm. Some, not even penguins yet, die in the egg. At this time, the females are out gathering food for the soon to be born baby penguin. The circle has followed the females though, although the females are gathering food they still have the chance of not making it. The Sea Lion, a menacing ocean creature that has young of its own and needs to get some source of food. Some of these females were eaten by the Sea Lion, or died along the way due to age. In conclusion, The Circle of Life will always follow every species and does not let up because of certain circumstances. The penguins except the fact that some will die they even will watch as a hawk tries to get there young. These penguins except fate instead of denying it. REFLECTION of March of The Penguins: This assignment shows the many obstacles that penguins have to face in there life. It also shows how all species struggle in there life, and how the circle of life is very important. This weekend, this weekend me and my Uncle went out to breakfast. This is something that we do every weekend on Sunday. Instead of us going out at an earlier time were people would normally eat we leave at around twelve. Since my Uncle doesn't like waking up we go later, this actually helps because when we get their it's the time between breakfast and lunch. The people that work there now recognize us when we walk in since we have always been going there. After we went to breakfast we always go food shopping, it's not fun to go food shopping but it's a way for me and my Uncle to spend time together. Once we get home we have to go and bring all of the food in and unpack. It may not seem like much but it's only a small thing to do and it's pretty fun because I get to spend time with my Uncle.

Halloween Story 11/13/14 I am a(n)_________________, My life is great, living with many of my family, it is peaceful inside our home. No worries just love, no one ever left all of us being encapsulated together and with nothing to bring bother to us. I wake up each morning and sit in the dark spacious room, and I always look up, because that was the strand that my parents lived on. We all had our own string that we lived on, no one moved from their string so I always know where my parents were in case I needed them. The same routine every day, the same, but calm, I would look up and my parents would look down, I look over at my friends and my siblings. I always worry what else is out there, what was on the outside, but I stick to my routine, my same routine… The Day Before Halloween; Loud scratching noises odd rigid spikes. The noise of laughter and jokes circling me, the spikes then ripped through the top of our house. I see light and people looking in our house just watching us, like it was some joke. Then all of us were being pulled up and out of our house. They then started burning us to where we got fully signed and crisp. I watched all of my friends, my parents get burnt, this tortures ritual. Now I’m just in here alone, only me, everyone of my friends, my family… Just me but not even me, I have been burnt and even lost parts of myself. Before, my life was perfect and peachie, now it’s all ruined. Was it luck to be left alive or is it a punishment? What did I do to deserve this? What could I have done? I was studying for a degree in biology, my life had so many things that now will never happen. I’ll have to start new, a fresh start could be good. It would never be the same, I would never be able to forget this day, and I would never get my old life back. In the beginning my life was great, living with many of my family it was a peaceful inside our home. No worries just love, no one ever left all of us being encapsulated together and with nothing to bring bother to us. I would wake up each morning and sit in the dark spacious room and, I would always look up because that was the strand that my parents lived on. We all had our own string that we lived on, no one moved from their string so I always knew where my parents were in case I needed them. The same routine every day, the same, but calm, I would look up and my parents would look down, I would look over at my friends and my siblings. I would always worry what else is out there, what was on the outside. but now I live in a new place, where I am new, different routines. But everything is different here, that's just how it works. On the “outside” this is how it works, and now I know what's on the outside, and I wonder if I can go back. Go back to how it used to be, but I stick to my routine, my same routine… REFLECTION of HALLOWEEN STORY: In this writing piece I took the perspective an in-adamant object, personification. Throughout the story there are hints showing what the object that is being personified could be, in the entire story there is no part that confirms exactly what the object is. Instead of just writing a piece that is meant to have the writer guess what is being personified, the story also is an example of how life can change rapidly. In the beginning of the story the personified object is describing how life is great, but in the duration of the story everything starts to change. As the story is read it goes from good to worse, and by the end a tragic event happens to the personified object. "Failure is the key to success; each mistake teaches us something."
~Morihei Ueshiba~ To me this quote is saying that one of the only ways to learn is to fail. By failing you then figure out a way to solve Whatever happens. If everyone went through life without mistakes or mess-ups, then there would be no progress. In my perspective everyone has to make at least one mistakes sometime in their life, one mistake that I have made in my life that almost everyone makes is: procrastination. I almost always procrastinate, when doing homework, or something around my house. From this I have learned that getting things out of the way is a lot more comfortable, and after you don't have to worry about it. This quote can help later on in the High School because I'm sure that I am going to make mistakes with many things, by knowing this quote I can feel more confident with my mistakes. |
