Feelings toward my upcoming Report Card

I am looking forward to seeing my upcoming report card because I have worked very hard this grading period and I believe I deserve what I get. I don't think my parents are going to Report Card night because they are busy, but I wish they would because I would like to know what my teachers think of me and my behavior in class. I think my parents would be very proud of what my teachers have to say. I try my best in class and on my work. I think Peer Tutoring could be a good way to help improve students who are getting low grades, or to students who feel like it would help them keep their good grade up in a class if they are working on something hard.

Biggest life lesson

One big life lesson I learned is that know matter what it is for, always work hard for what you want and never take the easy way. An experiance I had was when I had a bad report card one year and that is when I got the wake up call that I need to actually try harder and create study habits. Then after that little wakeup call, I created some study habits and have had a better grades ever since.

podcast

This week in computers we have been working on a podcast of our favorite scary moive. Personaly I do not like scary movies at all so I don't have a favorite and I don't watch them much. When I was thinking of scary movi I have seen and was wanting to pick I picked The Grudge. To me it is one of the most scariest movies I've seen. I am doing well on my podcast so far. IO have my script typed out and all I need to do is record it. I am a little nervous about doing that because I don't want to mess up . When I was searching I found a behind the scenes trailer about the Grudge giving a little information what it is about. To see a trailer of the Grudge go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMpg6BdHrkI

10 things I want to do in my lifetime

The number one thing I want to do is visit Paris because I have heard that it is absolutley beautiful and it reminds me of such a romantic place. The second thing I would want to do in my lifetime would have to be spending a whole day with the Jonas Brothers. They are by far my favorite band and they are absolute cuties. :) The third thing I want to do is fly in a hot air balloon. I think it would amazing to be up high, with the wind blowing fresh air, and seeing the world around me. The fourth thing I want to do is be on t.v. When I was younger I use to be in commercials but then my mom took me out of it because she didn't want to keep driving to Chicago and I would love to go back and start doing it again. When I am older I want to take over my dad's buisness in finance because you have a social life as well as working hard; that is my fifth thing I want to do in my lifetime. The sixth thing I want to do is go to Las Vegas again because when I went last year with my dad I had a blast. This time I want to go with my mom though because it is more fun to shop with her. Bungee jumping is the seventh thing I want to do. Everytime I see someone doing it I wish I could do it because it looks so fun. The eighth thing I want to do is to be able to do my splits all three ways. It sounds like a silly thing to do but it is something I want to accomplish. I can do my right splits but I would like to get the other two ways. My nineth thing I want to do is learn to play the piano. Right now I am too busy to learn but it just seems like such a peaceful instrument to learn. The last thing I want to do is to stay in Michael Jordan's house again. I stayed there with my family for a week a couple years ago in Mexico and i really enjoyed it. It was a once in a life time experiance but I would love to do it again.

Community Logo

Since we are not yet of age to vote for president, one of our assignments was to go to http://logopeoria.com/ and vote for our favorite logo that we would like our city to have. The logo I voted for was the logo that said Peoria in all capital letters, and at the bottm of it said est. 1825. The lettering is in between two lines. The picture is set in the far background and is a ligh maroon color that kind of looks like a brown. I like how it was 3-D look to it.

Favorite Halloween costume from my childhood

My favorite Halloween costume from my childhood is when I dressed up as cinderella. She was my role model when I was little because to me she was so pretty and I wanted to look like her. I had wore this costume for Halloween when I was seven years old and in first grade. I rember going to the store and yelling at my mom that that was the costume I wanted. I don't remember if this costume helped to me get more candy, but I would of hoped it did because I looked like a princess and a princess deserves what ever she wants. :) I want to dress up this year but I don't know what I would be. I don't quite remember what my most successful trick-or-treating year was but I think it was when I was little.

iPhoto Project

Hey everyone. In class last week and this, we have been working on our iPhoto projects. We are suppose to find objects that look like letters in our name. My iPhoto project is taking a little longer than I wanted it to, because I have difficult letters in my name to find objects that look like them. I like this project though, because it is very interesting. I have never really thought about what objects look like the letters in my name. The coolest one I found today was the eiffel tower. I loved the idea. I am glad we are getting the chance to work with these programs and explore them, you never know whats gana come up in the future and u might have to know how to use something.

Progress on current project

This week in class we have been working on a newsletter. We just finished in class today and I feel that it was a big success. Allison and Mallorey wrote a page together and Molly and I wrote one together. Then, we each wrote a column. I wrote mine about our homecoming pep rally that was turned out amazing. This project was a little difficult but not much. I had fun taking pictures with Molly in between making our newsletter. I enjoyed this project alot because it was a group project and forced us to work together, therefor, I met new people that I have never talked to befor and I found out a little bit about them. In the future I look forward to maybe working with them again.

physical fitness/athletic future for myself

As I have grown up I have learned how my body works and what I need to do to stay in shape and have good health. I don't do the best of job and I know there are probably a couple of things I could work on to improve it. As of right now i am busy almost every night of the week. On mondays I have cheerleading right after school, then go to dance. Tuesday, I have tumbaling that is very intense. Wednesday I have cheerleading right after school, then I go to my dance academy and teach 3 tumbaling classes then I dance until 10. Thursday and friday are my only night off during the week and on saturday I usually have to cheer at a football game. In my free time at home I try to go on the elliptical and jumprope fro good exercise. I eat as healthy as I can and have a few snacks every now and again. I hope to improve my fitness by working out at hoe more and eating healthier.
