The quality I like most about myself is that I can bonce back from downs. What I mean by that is that if I have a bad grade or mess up in a baseball game I forget about it and bonce back better. I like this quality because it helps me in baseball. If I strike out or something I bounce back and forget about it so that it doesn't distract me in the field. Last night I had a baseball game and I pitched the first two innings. On the 5 batter I pitched 3 straight balls. So I forgot about it and pitched 3 stikes and struck him out.

If you live in Iowa you know it doesn't matter what the weather people predict because Iowa is completely random. I think mother-nature spins a wheel of weather and whatever it lands on is what we get. I say this because it could be 90 degrees on Monday and then 10 degrees on Tuesday. On another note it has been raining for about half this week. It was sunny yesterday and is still sunny today. Honestly I don't like rain. First of all rain just makes me tired and sad because it limits what I can do that day. I like to play basketball after school but how am I supposed to play basketball in rain cause you can't shoot with a slippery, wet ball. However when it's sunny I can play basketball fr like 2-3 hours until I eat dinner. Even if just rained over night it's still muddy and wet outside so I have to wait almost a whole day for it to dry up. Also rain causes my baseball games to be cancelled and outside practices impossible to make happen. I hope you enjoy the sunshine while we still have it here.
I chose five values that were important to me and here they are. The first value that is important to me is cooperation. Cooperation is the ability to work together with others. This is important to me because it is an important life skill to be able to work together. If you are able to cooperate it will help you in many jobs and will get you better jobs than if you couldn't cooperate.
The second value I chose was enthusiasm. Enthusiasm means to be happy or happiness. This is important to me because enthusiasm can help you in many ways. For instance it makes you more positive which makes you happy and feel better about yourself. Also it can help people to get happy when their down. If you have enthusiasm you will most likely be more motivated because you have more self faith. The third value I chose was empathy. Empathy means to be understanding of somethings feelings. This is important because you would be able to listen to people better. Along with enthusiasm, empathy can help to get someone up when their down because you can really listen and see where their coming from when they talk. You might think when you're listening to someone that you understand but if you put yourself in their shoes you see a lot more,and that's what empathy is. The forth value I chose is knowledge. Knowledge is the knowing of facts. Everyone knows it's better to be smart than to be dumb. This is because when you're smart and have knowledge you have so many more opportunities than if you're not smart. My final value is honesty. Honesty means to tell the truth. This is important because if your honest people can rely on you because they know you won't lie. This can also help you get many jobs. Two of these values are the most important to me. The first one is cooperation. Again cooperation is the ability to work together with someone else no matter who it is. Cooperation is vary important to me because if I wasn't able to cooperate with my peers I would fail in school because in a lot of classes we work in groups. To work in groups you have to be able to cooperate. This is why cooperation is very important to me. The second value that is most important to me is honesty. Honesty means to tell the truth sometimes or maybe even all the time. Honesty goes along with cooperation because if you can work together with someone and tell the truth you will get things done much quicker than if you didn't tell the truth. I chose five important moment sentences. Who was the first person to make you feel invincible? The first person that made me feel invincible was my mom. She made me feel invincible because she told me I could do anything or whatever I wanted and that made me feel like nothing could stop me. This relates to the value honesty because it wasn't 100% honest because there are things that can stop me. When did you learn life isn't always fair? I also learned from my mom because she told me when I was complaining that life isn't fair. Aw, spring break 2017. Man do I miss it a lot,and other people that I know miss it too. This spring break I stayed at home, were as last year I went to Florida. When I went to Florida it was cloudy the entire time but 90 degrees when I left. Anyways I played a lot of basketball outside. But that made my mom mad because she doesn't like when I play basketball cause she doesn't like all the noise the bouncing creates. She also doesn't like when the ball hits the garage.
Another thing I did this spring break was watch a lot of movies. For some odd reason they happened to be about honeymoons and someone getting killed and all the investigating. For example Honeymoon Nightmare,Tragic Honeymoon,Honeymoon Disaster,and so on cause I think you get the point and I can't remember the other titles.I watched these movies with my mom and my dog who kept laying across my lap. At the same time we were watching the movies I was making my FCS project for the babysitting unit. I decided to make rain sticks so I needed poster tubes for the actual stick. Your supposed to use fur or something to cover it with but I saw m&m's and gummy bear duck tape so I decided to use those. Besides kids like candy and it was colorful. It was hard to use the staple gun at the same time as listening to the movie because the staple gun was really loud. Even though I didn't go anywhere special I still made the most out of my spring break and I hope you did too. Ya I know what your thinking, " It's free choice again?" Yes it is. Since today is the last day of the tri it's the last day with the people that are in my class. What I mean by that is the people that are currently in my class from that period will most likely be in a different period next tri. Most people are happy because there isn't school tomorrow but i'm not very happy because I like the people that are currently in my classes so I don't want to be in a different class. Right now I have 1st lunch which starts after 3rd period(the class i'm making most of these blogs in). What I don't want is to go back to 2nd lunch which is what I had 1st tri. I hated 2nd lunch because even if I ate something in the morning I would be starving and my stomach would hurt by the time 2nd lunch came around. I also have study hall/P.E 1st period and it has been that way since the beginning of the school year. I liked having it 1st period because I could come to school late but now that I will have it 5th period(starting Thursday) I won't be able to come to school late which I will be very sad/mad about.Anyways as you can tell i'm not very excited for 3rd tri. Well that's all I have for you today,hope you enjoyed.
Today's blog is free choice so here we go. Since it's February that means the holiday known as Valentines day is close. Many people think of this as a romantic time everywhere but really it's just the day companies sell a bunch of chocolate and make it cheap. Then again it's not horrible because you get a bunch of candy. I think it's another way to make america obese again. It is what it is though.
Another thing I want to talk about is how the weekend is only two days. The school week is know as Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,and Friday. But I don't think it should. I think Friday should be part of the weekend. I say this because on Thursday most if not every school has some type of early release or late arrival. So it doesn't make sense to have a short day and then go back to a long day. Most kids say the weekend is too short and most parents want another day in the weekend too. We all want that extra day to sleep-in and mess around. Saturday and Sunday just go to quick. Anyways that's all I have to say so I hope you enjoyed reading.Bye! If I was president the first thing I would do is cancel the building of the pipeline going from North Dakota to Illinois. This is important to me because if this pipeline were to fail it would ruin all the water for all the people that rely on the Mississippi. I will stop this by banning it from being built and make it forbidden.
The second thing I would do is make it so schools start later. this is important to me because kids need to have more sleep before school so they have energy and aren't falling asleep. I'm going to change this by making school start at 10:00 am and end at 4:00. This is so they can sleep in and school is still 6 hours. Th last thing I'd do is make smoking illegal everywhere in the U.S. This is important because 1,300 people on average die each year from lung cancer. I will do this by making a law that says it's illegal to smoke,and by making it illegal to sell in stores/gas stations. The first thing Obama said that really hit me was when he said,"Race relationships are better than 10,20,30 years ago." This hit because I honestly really agree. I mean look at how many more things African Americans can do now. They can have jut about any job they want. And Obama has been a big part of this change because before Obama there hadn't been an African American president, they were all white. So for people to realize that, really made America change in a big way.
The second thing that hit me hard was when Obama siad,"Hearts must change." This kind of has to do with my first paragragh. I chose this line because there still are some people out there who are rasist or sexist, but mostly raciest. And I just don't think it's right because everyone here I human and it doesn't matter what their skin color is because that's such a small part of them it really oesn't matter. It's kind of like judging a book by the cover it's such a small part. All the details are on the inside. Winter break of 2016 was overall good. At the beginning I didn't do much just kinda chilled. Well I was on my ipad like always. I also bounced on my mini trampoline a lot too. On Christmas my grandparents arrived. My aunt was supposed to arrive around 6. My dad was working till 8 so we could've opened presents once my dad got home. But at 6:30 we found out my aunt's flight was delayed so she had to drive. She arrived at 2am. We opened presents at like 9pm that night though. The next morning she opened her presents.
Christmas was now over and the excitement died down. I didn't really care for the new year because I don't find it to be that big of a deal. I mean it's just an added on 1 to 2016. Anyways we did end up going to a neighbors house for new years just because they were smoking random meats. I got to try lots of different meats which was kinda fun. Overall I had a good winter break and I hope you did to. If you live in the U.S you were probably watching the election last night. I know I was watching it and tbh I was hoping Hillary would win, but when Donald won I had a mix of emotions. I was felling mad,scared,confused,and suprised in a bad way because he over took Pennsylvania which Hillary had almost full control of and he Donald somehow won that state. When I woke up today (November 9) I turned on the CNN cause me and my family wanted to find out the post election results and the people on TV said that Michigan and Minnesota hadn't finish counting their votes. I never even wanted Hillary to be the Democrac I was originally for Bernie and I think he so could have won. the last thing I want to talk about is that the people who did vote for Donald are really dumb because they elected a person who wants to start a nuclear war with everyone and wants to build a wall so that he can seperate people that have a different skin color. I don't think he'll end up building a wall but it's like were going back in time to segragation it's really sad what this world is coming to.
