[edit] History
My history is a very exciting one. I was Born on June 14, 1994. I was born as the first one in my family. but I was not the only one to come. six years later, on June 28, 2000, my browther Carson was born. Then came along my little sister Caroline. She was born on March 19, 2003. Only twice have we gone to disney world. One when I was four and another this year 2006.
[edit] Favorite websites
My favorite websites are: candystand which I use for free games. channelone which I use for news.stupid videos which I use for funny videos, and zango which is a bunch of everything.
[edit] My Opinion
I have a opinion on a lot of things: The Harry Potter series, I recomend it to all active readers. It will keep you busy for a while and take you longer to read than your average 200 page book. I've heard that book #7, Deathy Hollows is coming out this year. It's what Harry Potter readers have been waiting for a year now.
Another thing is the PS3 & the Wii. I've heard that they are both very good systems, but I take the PS3 over the Wii. The problem is that they are very hard to find, and if you do find one, it is off-the-chart expensive. The cheapest version is still $500. The Wii is only $250, & gives you exercis by having to move your body to play. But still, the PS3 has awsome graphics on it!
One more thing, I just got finished watching the Colts against the Patriots, that was an intense game. Everything was insane. The game would go down in history. I was rooting for the Colts. I mean, the game was in & out between ties & the Patriots leading. But in the end, the Colts are going to move on to the SuperBowl. The score was 34-38. The other game was between the un-defeated Saints and the Chicago Bears. I didn't get to see it, but I know that the Saints finnaly got a loss that would cost them the SuperBowl. The score was 14-39. The date of the Super Bowl is Feb. 4.
[edit] School Essays
This year in school, we do portfolio pieces and one of them is a how-to essay. I chose the topic of "How To Handle School":
How to Handle School
Is school hard to handle? Are you not doing well in test or just doing homework? This guide will help you improve your grades & make school less of a drag.
Getting Ready
The first thing you want to do to get ready to go to school is:
• Get a good night sleep. The recommended amount of time is approximately nine hours of rest.
• Have a good, well balanced breakfast.
• Make sure all homework & assignments are done.
What to do When You’re at School
• Pay attention to the teacher.
• Participate in any classroom activities.
• Take any notes if needed
• Copy down assignments.
How to do Assignments & Study for Test
• When home or where ever you may be, take a five to ten minute break before starting on homework or studying for a test.
• Do assignments that are due the next day first, or in the order that you have the classes, then do the long term assignments.
• When studying for test, study for fifteen minutes, then do something else for five minutes, then go back for studying for fifteen minutes, and do the cycle over and over again.
If you want to do well in school, just follow this guide, and you will excel in your homework, test, and have better grades in school.
Another Essay that I did was a Martin Luther King essay:
“I look to a day when people are not judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” These were one of the quotes given on the day that Martin Luther King Jr. made his famous speech, “I Have a Dream.” He may have won the battle, but we need to win the war of judging. Not just by color, but by whether they are rich, poor, how their clothed, or just don’t like them from the start. We need to try our best to get along in this country, by starting in our community. All people are to be treated equally regardless of how they are. “We must learn to live together, or die to fools” also quoted by Martin Luther King Jr. We need to live together or perish. At another point in history, we were not giving women their rights. We were treating them like we treated blacks.
One way we can start to improve our community for all people is to us the golden rule, “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” We need to give respect to other people. If we apply this to our daily lives, we will get one step closer to a better community.
Another way is to be open to other people. Clubs is an example. A club may regret not accepting a person when they could have done well.
My conclusion is that if we want to have a better community, we need to treat others with respect. We need to judge people by their character, not by their skin color. There are many ways that we can improve the community. We together, can win the war of dishonest judgment.
