I have always liked the quote "You miss 100% of the shots you never take." I like this quote because it pertains to hockey. I think it is saying that you have to take chances, because if you don't, you won't know what you missed.
Poem
Hockey, a tough sport
People hitting
People passing
People skating
But, if you don't take shots
You will never score
You miss 100%of the shots
You never take

Cells and Microscopes

In science, we are learning about cells and their functions. We have also used the microscopes A few times. The best part about this whole unit is the fact that we get to use our notes for the test. Just Kidding! The besst part is that Ms. Kosters does a great job explaining what each vocabulary word means. The part that is kind of annoying is the fact that there is no ryhme or reason to things in Science, you just have to memorize them!

The Stereotypical and Single-minded Ideas of the American Teenager

In the immature mind of the American teenager
Above the neck, in the brain
Near the idea of social-status mattering
Despite words from their parents
Through the lugubrious insults of fellow classmates
Without acceptance
In their now simple lives
Toward the simplistic realm, of inner thoughts
Along the passage way, to inner and outer peace
Beyond the realm, of actual and mental realization
Of life's inner meaning

Well, as I said before, I am reading a book called Lockdown by Alexander Gordon-Smith. It's a great book because of the suspense that lies on every page. I really am enjoying this book. It is an enjoyable book because of how exciting it is. The author makes every page enjoyable and makes boring activities in the book fun because of his use of vocabulary. The whole idea of a boy living in an underground institution is a cool concept to me. That combined with the author's unique style of writing makes this one of the best pieces of literature I have ever read.

I am currently reading a book called "Lockdown." It's about a 15 year old boy who gets sent to an underground prison. He was framed and was accused of killing his best friend. Now he must find a way to get out of the prison before it sucks the life out of him. This book has been really entertaining because it keeps you at the edge of your chair the entire time.

I believe the quote "Believe you can and you're halfway there" means that knowing that you can do something gives you the motivation to do what you want and you're already halfway there. I can apply this to my life by showing that if I want to do something that I NEED to believe in myself. I could apply this to hockey, school, etc. This quote could make a positive change in someone's life because if they are feeling poorly about themselves then someone tells them this, they could realize that all they have to do is BELIEVE! This could impact the world the same way it could affect anyone's life. It can make them realize that believing is the key.

Doing this group assignment was an interesting experience. My group and I, for the most part, did pretty well communicating. It was hard at times to communicate with my group members because they aren't always on when you are. This project was a fun challenge. If I had to change the project at all, it would be by making it easier, somehow, to communicate with group members.

Greece is a pretty cool country that has a lot of history. Greece is the home to the first modern type Olympics. Greece has had many changes through out its history. Greece has been a country that has been dominated by individual city-states. Dominance reigns supreme in Greece.
In Humanities, we have been having lots of fun with our simulation. Each day, we do different activities that have to do with Greece. For example, we had to memorize the Greek alphabet and then recite it. We got points depending on how well we did. Our simulation has been a lot of fun.
