Ben Carson and his quotes!

Article posted March 4, 2012 at 12:25 AM GMT • comment • Reads 639

“Successful people don't have fewer problems. They have determined that nothing will stop them from going forward.”
- Ben Carson

I love quotes because they make me think and are good in general. Ben Carson is a great role model and if you read his books, you will see why. For my poem:

Everyone is smart in their own way but not everyone is successful...why?
Everyone has a different perspective,
And these differentiate those people
If a person is chosen to be the 6th best student out of 16 students,
He can either be happy that there are still 10 people behind him,
Or he could think that there are 5 people ahead of him and move forward.
This choice will go a long way to success if he chooses the right one.
However, if he chooses to move forward, then that does not mean he has fewer problems,
That actually means he will have more because he has to work harder.
This is like a friendship.
A good friend will never forget the good things that his friend has done,
But he will always forget what he has done for his friend or the bad things that his friend has done, so that his friendship can last.
There are problems but that doesn't stop the person from moving forward because of his dedication.


Go ahead and find out more about Ben Carson, he shares his personal experiences, and he actually was a terrible student to start with, but now he is one of the best neurosurgeons we have. How?! He shares some fantastic advice and is awesome!

“My Room"

Article posted February 23, 2012 at 04:44 AM GMT • comment (1) • Reads 917

In the house
Of the Selvam'
Above the dining room
Through the window
On Valentine's Day
Across from my mirror
Around the room
From my mirror
From IKEA
Inside it's orange
Around the room
Past my bed
Against the wall
For the pictures
Among them all
Past my closet
With no damage done ;)

Little Science Critters

Article posted February 23, 2012 at 04:37 AM GMT • comment • Reads 830

There are many cells in a living body; in fact, the Cell Theory states these three things:
1. Cells are the basic units and functions of life
2. All living things are composed of cells
3. All cells are produced by other cells
I have really enjoyed this unit, and found it interesting to see that these cells have even tinier parts inside them!! I have always been interested in the medical field (I want to become a doctor when I grow up), so as we learn these small things, they really build up. I wouldn't say I had a famous part, because I honestly liked the whole unit, but if I had to choose, it would be when we looked up tiny things under microscopes...IT WAS SO COOL!!

Books...

Article posted February 12, 2012 at 12:43 AM GMT • comment • Reads 700

I am not currently reading any book, but I may find one soon. Since I do not have a book to talk about at the moment, I thought I would talk about a book called Gifted hands: the Ben Carson story: the remarkable surgeon who gives children a second chance at life by Ben Carson. Ben Carson is a very talented neurosurgeon, and in this book, he talks about his childhood and how he became such a successful surgeon. Some people may say that this book is either for adults or for nerds. I don't think that is true, I think anyone could read this book, it is very inspiring. My mom showed me this book, and at first I was not very interested, but as I got into the book, I found it very inspiring because, I want to become a doctor myself, not a surgeon, but preferably a physician or any type of doctor. If you are the type of person who wants to be smart but is afraid of what other people would say about you, this book is really helpful. I really liked this book and didn't feel as scared to "be a nerd" and let out my inner person.

Let's Hear It!!

Article posted February 5, 2012 at 05:32 PM GMT • comment (1) • Reads 940

One thing many people don't know about me is that I dance. I know, I don't seem like the person who is into dancing but, well, I am!
However, the dancing I do is not like ballet or hip hop, it is a very unique type of dance called Bharathanatyam, specifically the kalakshetra style. As you can tell by the name, it's an indian dance. If you are interested, there are many videos on youtube you could look at. The dance may seem easy to some poeple, but it defenitely is not. It requires heavy foot work and immense balance. There are many poses, enough that you could say that more than half of the poses require you to balance on one foot. However, this dance is very ammusing and whenever I perform, I always get compliments.

Poets

Article posted January 29, 2012 at 02:57 AM GMT • comment • Reads 822

Poets could use many literary terms to make the poem worth a lot. I enjoy poems with imagery, which is when poets use words that appeal to our five senses. I think imagery is important because then the readers could picture what the poet is trying to say. If the poem is trying to tell you how to be a role model, then you could picture how respected you would be. For example, if the line says, “The meadow was very magical, with the green grass, and the sun beaming on it." You could imagine a very beautiful image of a meadow in your head. Imagery is definitely one tool poets use to both entertain and motivate the reader.

Motivational Quotes

Article posted January 21, 2012 at 03:14 AM GMT • comment • Reads 710

“Believe you can and you're halfway there."
~Theodore Roosevelt

I think this quote is a great quote to take into our lives and follow. I think that basically what it is saying is that if you believe in what you are doing, then you are halfway to succeeding in that. Unless you believe that you can do it, you can't succeed in anything. I could apply this quote to my life because I know that I am really negative with myself and can be harsh with myself at times. I would get frustrated and think that I'm not good at it and I can't do it. I think this quote would be great to take into my heart and actually start following it. This quote could definitely be used to make a positive change in someone's attitude because if someone can believe in what they do, then it makes it a lot easier to succeed in many other things, which could change the negative attitude of someone. This quote could make an impact on the world because of everyone believed in what they did, and then the world could make a lot more things possible. As you can see, this quote could motivate you immensely, and can really have an impact on you.

2012 Goals

Article posted January 16, 2012 at 06:35 PM GMT • comment • Reads 873

My first goal is to be more efficient. I find that I spend to much time on one thing and then work until 10:00 p.m. ON HOMEWORK!!! The changes involved to reach this goal are that I will be writing out a complete schedule and spend equal amounts of time on each subject, and I will have to learn to stay focused. My next goal is to wake up earlier. I always find that when I wake up early, I am very calm and I get more done in the mornings, which is very good because your brain is "fresh" and open. The changes involved to reach this goal is to not sleep too late, and to get used to waking up earlier. I think goals are great for every new year because they always make you feel good and makke things easier for you as you get used to them, of course I have many more goals then the ones I listed here, and I will come up with more as the year goes on.

Wiki

Article posted December 16, 2011 at 04:55 AM GMT • comment • Reads 933

My group did pretty well on our wiki page and we did and AMAZING job of communicating and over all it went well with splitting the work up. It was a good opportunity for us to learn how to communicate when they aren't right next to you!! Our communication was very effective because we knew EXACTLY what everyone was supposed to do and there was no confusion. As a difference, I think we could have added a little bit more information rather than focusing on the format. The only feedback that I would give is to spend a little more time on the wiki and please explain the wiki a little more detailed to start with!!!

Greece

Article posted December 11, 2011 at 04:29 AM GMT • comment • Reads 1291

I don't know much at all about Greece except that they worship many Gods and created a lot of myths. In humanities, basically we had to choose a polis and we get points for things like doing our homework and warmups and etc. My team is Argos...Go Argos!! Woop!!! hahahaha We are also memorizing the Greek alphabet, which I didn't think was all that hard because I got it memorized on the first day, but yeah, I'm enjoying this unit=http://
