I think that blogging was a good experience all this year and it showed me some good things. I think I will not continue to blog, even thought it is fun, I think that blogging is just like twitter or facebook just in longer segments. I think twitter is just the same as blogger but I think it is better. I will continue with twitter but after this class I will stop blogging :(

Let's Change The Student Handbook

If I could change any of the rules in the handbook I would want to change the cell phone policy. I would want to change it because I think our phones could be useful in some classes. I think if they are really distracting someone then they could lose their privilage. I think that the whole school would be on my side becuase there is kids that already use their phones and don't get caught. I think the teachers and administration would not like this rule because kids would have freedoms in school. I would want to add the rule of riding what ever you want to school.l This would include of four wheelers, snowmobiles, dirtbikes, golf cart, or what ever you desire. I think I would add this just because it would be fun and interesting to see what people would drive. I think that the staff would not approve of this because kids would be more likely to get hurt or kill themsleves. Their would be no consequence to this rule because you can't do anything bad during it.

Seniors Last Week!!!!

This week is the seniors last week and I am so happy! This week means that the seniors will be underclasssmen in college and that I will become an upperclassmen. I am happy that they are leaving because it means I am one more year closer to graduating. On the other hand, I am sad because I am friends with some of them and will miss them. The week that the seniors leave is so fun because they don't do anything but mess around, and we get to have spirit wars.

I kinda think that highschool proms are over-rated becuase you have to pay lots of money just to dance and hangout with friends. You could do that any time you wanted to, if you really wanted to. My saturday didn't consist of anything fun besides going to festa Ranchero, while my sister was gone, with my parents. We had a bonfire, but other thatn that we didn't do anything. On Sunday I went to my neighbors to play baseball with her grandkids, there ages are 8,9, 11, and 15.

On my Mind! :/

Today is not going very good, because I didn't get much sleep last night. I am tired and don't want to be at school. I am so ready for school to be over with and summer to be here! I just want to be able to sleep in until whenever, and be able to hangout with my friends whenever. There is other stuff on my mind but I won't say it because it may make some people mad.

FACEBOOK!!!!

Yes, I have a facebook account and I only use it to see what my family is up to. I don't like listening to all the drama by all the dumb people, and I usually only get on every couple days. I think that all the millions of people that get on it is to use it for communicating, and posting their feelings. I think that people just say stuff that they are randomly doing like "walking my dog, sitting on the couch, ect." I think that using facebook for me is good because I have family in Clinton, Michigan, South Carolina, Tennesse, Kentucky, and New York. I want to be able to kep in touch with the, even though I don't know them all that well. Three poistives: communicating from long distances, new video calling, and seeing recent things people have done. Three negatives: DRAMA, cyber-bullying, and you can put pictures on that you are practically naked in :( thats gross and not everyone wants to see it. On facebook you can have hundreds of friends, but in real life you are only gonna remember a couple of your bestfriends. I think people may think, the more friends, the more popular they are.

Story Time

There is nothing better than..... my family. My family is always there for me when I need them, and they help me through anything. This summer right after school gets out I am going to South Carolina to my grandparents house. My family are the best people I know, with an exception of some people that aren't my family. I love my family, and don't want to lose anyone. I won't name that one person that is an exception. :)

Collage NOT College

This is my shape collage of Michigan basketball becuase they are good, and I love Michigan. My background is a basketball because it is about the Michigan basketball team.

Spring Break!

This year my spring break was pothetic, I didn't do anything because I had to stay home and watch my little sister. All week i would just sit around and watch television, or do what my parents told me to do. I ate lots of food for easter and had some good deserts.

A New Holiday

National Lebron Basketball Day!!!!!!! This national day is on December 30th, and this is because December 30th is Lebron James birthday. The reason for this celebration is to be able to play basketball with Lebron, just me and him then I will be able to hangout with him all day. The only special event that would go on is me playing basketball and hanging out with him all day. The symbol associated with  my holiday is one of lebrons dunks.

Famous Person

If I could meet any famous person in the world, I would want to meet Micheal Jordan. He is very motivational, and a hard worker, he is used as a role model all over the world. I wish I could be as good as a basketball player and a role model as he was. He showed people how to play hard, push themselves, be a role model and to never give up.

Books!!!!

When I was little I used to always read the Magic Tree House series. These books were my favorite because they were mysteries, and they always took you on some kind of adventure. When I was little nobody wanted to read to me because I didn't like anybody reading them to me.

I think that teenagers these days don't like to read because most of there friends, influence them by not reading. Also, another reason is that kids may think that books are boring, and lazy. I am one of those teenagers that don't like to read because I can't really find certain books that I would be interested in. I read some books that I like and am interested in but not as many books that I should to be good at reading. I think it would take teenagers to read, that they need to find books of something that you play or are in.

Pet Peeves

Something that annoys me you ask? Well, lots of things and people annoy me but one of my biggest pet peeves is that all my school stuff has to be organized a certain way. I have to have all of one classes material together and put in my locker a certain way. If my books are not in the right order I have to rearange my whole locker until it is the way I want it to be.

Friends

I look for certain things in a friend. I like my friends to be athletic, someone I can tell everything to, I can joke around with, and be able to hangout with. I want my friends to be trustworthy and responsible, I don't want my friends to tell others my secrets. People can have many "friends," but best friends are people that you do everything with, tell everything to and talk to. You can have hundreds of facebook friends you just don't have to talk to them.

Homecoming

This year for homecoming we played the Whiteford Bobcats. My week was fun because everyone was dressed up funny looking. I participated in some of the dress up days but not the ones like animal print day. I liked the mini floats because ours was NBA 2K12, and it had something to do with basketball. This year was the first year that we had the mini floats, and we got first place! The pep assembly was fun because the varsity teams for winter sports got to play the games. I think that Nick got the king because he plays sports and he is a very good student.

Valentine's Day

I think that every year the candy and card companies blow everything out of porportion becasue it is just another day to buy things for the people you love. I think that if you truly love that one person then you should treat them good all the time. I do think we should have this as a holiday because we can have great memories from it. If you don't have a special someone in your life then you should treat yourself to something that you would go to on a date.

When I was in elementary I remember when everyone brought in cards and candy so everyone felt special. I liked to recieve things from everyone not just one person.

Super Bowl!!

Last night was Super Bowl 46, and the Giants beat the Patriots again, just like they did four years ago. The Patriots led the whole game until the fourth quarter when the Giants quarterback , Eli Manning, decided to make a fourth quarter comeback to beat the Pats again. The whole game it was back and forth, it was a good game, but the second half the Patriots lost momentum and fell head over heals. It was a very low scoring game for a Super Bowl.

Photography

My understanding of photography is that you take a camera, point it at something you want to take a picture of, then you click the button so it will take the picture. I know that there is a lot of things that go into professional photography, and I would like to know some of these things so I can be better at taking pictures. My experience with photography so far is pretty good.

Exams

 This year was the second year that i had taken exams. I think that when I took them in eighth grade at Adrian I did better, but this year I think I did alright. I think that exams shouldn't be manditory because everyone is not wanting to go to college. The people that want to go to college should be able to take the exams for practice.                                                                                                                                                             

My baskteball season...

This year my basketball season has gone pretty good. We have won some good games and lost some good games, that we should have won. I have started every game because I am one of the five best on our team. This year I think we will win more than ten games because the second time that we play teams we should be able to beat them if we play to our pottential. We turned the basketball team from a losing season to a winning season.

Winter Break

Over Christmas slash winter break my grandparents came up from South Carolina, and they stayed with my family for a week. They usually leave before my birthday which is the 28th, but this year they stayed until after my birthday because I was turning sixteen. We also got to hangout with our cousins and their family, we went over to their housefor dinner, and opened the presents they got us.
