A Whole New Mind-Portfolio Suggestion

After i read the chapter on design in Pink's book, i looked through the portfolio and something struck my attention. Even though i'm not very good at it, i love to create arts and crafts.

I read the section in the portfolio that was titled "Third Industrial Revolution," and as I read, I noticed that I could go to nike.com and customize my very own shoe any way that i wanted to.

I went to the site and just started playing with the shoe that I chose, and I turned the shoe into something that I really really liked. The shoe expresses me. The colors are even my favorite colors.

Sophomore Reflection

hmm...my sophomore year...well it was interesting

This past year has been crazy! I don't even know where to begin!

I'm finally a junior now. I can't believe it. I'm growing up. I have to face that fact. I have to start thinking about what i want to do with my life. I have to start thinking about college.

I have realized who my real friends are. I have lost a few friends this year, but is for the better. These friendships ended badly, but i realized what these people are really like.

"There comes a point in life when you realize who matters, who

never did, who won't anymore, and who always will, so don't worry

about people from your past, because there's a reason they didn't

make it to your future"

Just like the quote says, i'm not going to worry about those people because there is a reason why they did not make it to my future.

I know my junior year will have its drama, but i am hoping that there will be less of it.

Of Mice and Men review

I highly recommend reading Of Mice and Men because it is a very very good book.



George and Lennie have been together forever. George takes care of Lennie. Lennie is big, but he is dumb. He can't remember a thing.



George always tells him that they're going to get some money and buy themselves a piece of land. George tells him that they are going to "live off the fat of the land".



Lennie is always getting into trouble. He never means in harm, but he's so big and strong that he just gets himself into trouble all the time. When Lennie pushes it a little too far things turn for the worse.



What becomes of Lennie? Read the book and find out!

The Giver review

The Giver is a book of hope for something more in life.



When Jonas is chosen to be the new Receiver of Memory, he is scared because all of the rules are new, and he is not sure of what the job will bring.



Jonas is not allowed to tell anyone of anything about he job as Receiver of Memory. Jonas learns so many things that he never knew before, that no one else in the community knows. He begins to "see beyond". Jonas undergoes a lot of pain.



When Jonas hears of some terrible news, he flees the city, taking a little boy named Gabriel with him. He is in search of a new and better life.

Animal Farm review

Animal Farm is a story of hope. The animals all work together for one common purpose.

When the animals run off the owner of the farm they set up some rules to go by; They basically form their own way of living.

When some disagreeing occurs Snowball is run off, leaving Napoleon to take lead.

When Napoleon changes rules and takes over the whole farm, things go crazy. Animal Farm is never the same.

Spring Break Reflection

For Spring Break I went with the band to Orlando, Florida. I had a lot of fun there.

We went to Islands of Adventure which was a whole lot of fun. There was so much to do and so little time. My favorite rides were Jurassic Park and Dueling Dragons. I got pretty wet on Jurassic Park. On Dueling Dragon I rode the blue dragon.

We also went to Medieval Times. I love horses so i really enjoyed that. They were beautiful. We were on the blue team. The knight for the green team didn't like us very much. We all enjoyed booing at him.

While we were in Orlando we played in a contest. The awards were presented at Universal Studios that night after the contest. We were very pleased when we found out that we had won first in a division AND best overall score.

I had a lot of fun over my Spring Break. It was very enjoyable.

my favorite techie web-based tool!

My favorite web-based technology tool would probably have to be thesaurus.com. Anytime I do not know a good vivid word for something, I look the word I need a vivid word for up on thesaurus.com and find a good vivid word for it and use it. Thesaurus.com is very easy to use. All that has to be done is to go to thesaurus.com and type in the word in the search box and hit enter. It is very simple.
