Improvement/ summer

Article posted May 31, 2012 at 12:37 AM GMT0 • comment • Reads 329

Well i am not sure what I really improved in but I know I did? ... I know I really Thing I improved in my spelling grade. I went from B's to A's, some are still not the best but they are mainly up their. I also started in the lowest group, the easiest. That made me feel bad because I was in the middle group the whole year last year but now I just went down. I got mad so I really worked as hard as I could and I asked her if I could go back to the middle group. She gave me a couple weeks then saw that I was good enough for the middle group yes and now here I am at the end of the school year all done with spelling. I also Im proved in science I really wasn't that good at the beginning of the year but now I have worked hard and bumped it up.

What am I going to do this summer is visit my grand parents and just see them and talk. We haven't seen each other in a while so it will be good to see them. I will also be doing a lot of boating and hanging out with friends out on the water. It will be a good summer. I will also be training for more baseball and I will still have baseball. The training includes running and push up sit ups and yeah just working hard. I will also be in the cages hitting a lot it will be a fun summer.

sea turtle

Article posted May 4, 2012 at 04:21 AM GMT0 • comment • Reads 75

Our class just read this small picture book that was all about sea turtles. Now if I were to explain anything about them is that not just them but us have "soul". See, these turtle aren't just fighting to get to the end of the beach to get to the water. They are trying to survive. What I mean is that there are a lot of predators out there trying to find something to snack on. Well those hopeless sea animals cant really do anything cause there mother ran away from them. I mean really that is like saying " oh look at john and phil and Margaret all of them so cute but I also have a life, see yeah suckers I am going to las vegas, yee ha". Do you call that a mother please. Then final a scientist went and realized hey this sea turtle thing went from a average of 40,000 eggs a year to 2,000 what should I do maybe umm duh how about try to save them from extinction.
The next word I am going to talk about is kindness. See the people really they didn't have to do this they could of sat back and watched tv. But they felt so bad for them they had to save them. That is not just kindness that is effort, otherwise none as doing the right thing. They are stepping out of there way, soccer try out nope I am saving a sea turtles life. Boom. That the extra effort that the icing on the cake, the cherry on top. That is going to lead me into my next word diversity. Ok lets say this you are going to a soccer try out well you are the hardest worker there. The one that lifted those weights , the one that ran that extra mile. Those are the kind of people, those are the people you live by . No matter what you job is, if you work and you did that extra effort than you can get that job you can get that salary raise. nothing should stop you because you know you put in that extra effort. Like for those people that keep the sea turtles save you, just like I said earlier stepped out of your way to help a cause. now for my last word I have risk. Now this one is mainly about the turtles, they are going and trying to find there way in a new world they have to know what to do they have to know how to handle things. It all on them and really most of them wont survive(tragic) I know it is horrible. But that is when us, humans, the most intelligent species on earth can save them. We really can help them. So can you help. Yes you can, if you go by a beach and see a nest of eggs just leave them be don't touch them.

Now I hope you all know about sea turtles they are close to extinction, they are as old as the dinosaurs so I hope you remember this ad if you see eggs on a beach leave them alone.

New Life

Article posted March 9, 2012 at 02:33 AM GMT0 • comment (6) • Reads 167

Well when I lived in California it was great I had a lot of good friends and I would make some to because I went to the local ski resort. It was the life, plus my best of all best friends was just a couple houses down. HE also went to my school and everything.
I know it seems like cloud 9 but that really quickly changed. See the years before I lived in a place called Reno it is a pretty big city but my dad didn't like it cause the skiing wasn't that good and so he wanted to have better skiing. Therefore he decided to move to a place called Squaw Valley. It is a beautiful sight as I told you earlier it is also the ski mountain he wanted to go to. This also that local ski resort I told you about earlier. Anyway back to the story, so he bought the house and I went to a new school and I was little so going there was not that bad. But we still hadn't soled the house in Reno which is also part of the problem. But then we herd that we could expand on the houses size but that actually proved to be wrong. We don't know what happened things just kept going down hill.
But now my dad didn't like living there cause it was to small. But our whole family was perfectly fine with it. But you no how things are, poppa bear always wins. In this case we had to move back to reno to the school I really didn't know cause I wasn't old enough to go there but I went there for kinder garden.
In this case I had to go there but I was super scared it was but you know what I now live her with no worries. But yet dint forget the Squaw house what happened to it. Well we still could get money out of it so we rented it out and as I post this there are people in it. So now I live in Reno ,Nevada.
But you know what I still do really really miss that house.

I weird winter

well our class just had this winter brake thing for the holidays and we got school off for a three or two weeks and now we are supposed to share something with you. I have noticed something and if you live in the tahoe area then you will know too. The snow has just disappeared, last season in the tahoe area it was record braking now it is recored breakig to but there is no snow. Theres all this snow but then it just stops? I mean come on where is the snow acutally about those records, the normal amount of snow is around five hundred feet. But the year before this there was eight hundred feet of snow. I mean thats insane, but now we have nothing.
Just the other day went skiing it was fun until I got to the mountain the ice. It was everywhere, so I thought uh then just kind of just went on but when I hit my first patch it was super long and eventually I fell. I was so tired of it and still am.

Corruption

Article posted December 20, 2011 at 10:55 PM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 88

Corruption in sports
Corruption in sports is just annoying. Well I mean the people that take steroids or do something bad. But what is even worst people that train them can’t stop them. They can’t make them stop and it’s pretty easy to hide the steroids. In a famous baseball book the author quoted that 85 % of baseball players use steroids. See baseball is big bucks, like millions of dollars. If you take steroids you’ll make hundreds. It is horrible. But that is just a theory and he can prove it. One other bad thing in baseball is you can cork a baseball bat. Yes, of course, it helps them hit the ball further and harder. Corking a bat is when you drill a whole I your bat and put cork in. You can even put it in metal bat you put tennis balls in. A pitcher can use pine tar and put it on there cap so a ball will curve harder. IT will make the hitter confused because it goes slower but moves harder.
In football you can do something called fixing a game. It is were you bet against your own team. Like say you are a player and a person says “I’ll give you 600 $ if you don’t try and lose”. Over 70 NFL games have been fixed.
This is horrible; when these two games started they played for fun not money. These days they play to get money. These are sports but they play it like it is there job and not a sport. See with all of these ways to cheat people can make super high salaries. I think this is horrible keep the sport how it’s supposed to be. Now cheating has become part of the sport.
This should change I think it should just flat out stop. These days if they find out you cheated they might suspend you. Maybe for like two moths .I think you should have them just stop be banned for life.
Well I hope you have the same opinion because I think mine is good. I hope you learned something about corruption and well bye.

xbox 360

Article posted December 8, 2011 at 03:09 AM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 139

Well first off a video game device is not somthing my mom would think to buy. Ever since I was little i wanted a game device. Some of my friends had them, which made me want to get one. Yet my mom had always said that we would never get one because she did not like them. But then my older brother got a gameboy and I loved it. A few years past and we did not get any new video devices. I got sick of the gameboy (it was old), so i went and bought a DS with my own money. Then a few more years past and one Christmas season my grandparents offered to get my me and my siblings a Wii. But my mom declined their offer.
Then my older brother told me about the Xbox 360. I googled it and watched a Youtube video about it. It amazed me how it could do so much stuff. I just had to get it. My father thought didn't think it was that bad, and he too liked the things it could do. He talked to my mother about getting one and she said "I'll think about it. It's a maybe."
That whole Christmas i was anxious to see if i would get a Xbox. Then the very next ay I got to go to a friends house who had an Xbox. IT was all that it had seemed and boy was it fun, THe kinect everything the netflix it was so cool. Then when my mom saw it and me having fun . I could start to see a grin on her face . THis was it , Christmas day I ws happy but scared at the same time .What I f we didn't get it wat if ....... I .. I was speechless we had goten one, oh boy i was so excited. I set it up right away it was exciting plus I had a whole bunch of other stuff too. Tat was definitly the best Christmas I have ever had.

well fist of I want to tell you want my assignment is about. We're supposed to write something abut a text to self. There are many choices that you can pick from. Now my text to self is to say about something you were embarrassed to say. well in the book tyler finds out that she is Amish. She does not like them and finds out that her dad is Amish. Then there class is doing a class project were you have to make a family tree. Then when Tyler's teacher asked about her project she had to tell the teacher that he family was part Amish. I think the she was embarrassed to say that they were that type no offense people that read this that are Amish.
The today I broke my dads present that my dad gave to my mom. It was there anniversary today so my dad gave my mom a necklace that came in a box and I was messing around with it and it just broke. The little hinges just snapped off and it was a nice blue box. Then I said "ah ah dad I am going to go downstairs' . Then my mom went to put her necklace on and the box was broken so she got really mad at me and was sorta sad. Plus you can't even return it. Well that was my story by.

Well, we are supposed to blog about are four words in class. Mine are graffiti, War, corruption, and smoking. I picked corruption because I don’t know a lot about it. It is the abuse of public power for private gain. Corruption comes under many different guises like bribery, graffiti ect. Corruption is being guilty of dishonest practices. I have never even heard of this, so it is interesting to me.
