Class Discussion

        While in class, having a discussion with the class about what would we do if the class' plane crashed with first graders and adults also on board, but sadly all the adults died. It was a very intense and interesting assignment. While doing this assignment our class had a very hard time and not being able to decide on one idea, hurt our discussion. One weakness that we had was not being able to decide on one whole thing, and that can hurt any group if they need to make any decisions. Although, there was some great ideas some of my classmates came up with. They had ideas on the government, food, shelter, and also how the kinds were going to be taken care of.
        The class' ideas on shelter were to have the men go off and collect things from the environment they were in and come up with the best shelters. According to the supplies they had to make shelter. Leadership would be a hard thing within my class because there was so many people trying to come up with different things and ideas at one time. There was a lot of confusion and it would be a long time for the class to come into one agreement about who was in charge. Survival wouldnt be a problem at all because students had good ideas for food and things that help with surviving. But, leadership would  be a problem. Everyone wanted to be in charge and have everything go their way. So, if this would happen to my class, everyone would be off doing their own thing, not working as one to survive.

Reading Response

        "Why was he sentto a detetion camp?" The thought that went through my head while reading the return. "What did he do and how long was he there?" I thought The Return was a very good story, although it was very short. It was  very interesting and it was very easy for me to visualize the story. It's so nice that he is finally home from the detention camp, and he can remember where to go to back home. Will they who he is, will they be happy to see him? Different questions popped up into my head at every second while reading, and it made me keep reading.
        When Kamau got back to his village from the detention camp, I was expecting the people of the village to be happy to see him and, so did Kamau. But, sadly they didn't even know who he was.How can they not remember?" No one remembered, and that was so sad. Even his family though he was dead. All these questions appeared into my mind, then a big one came, "What will he do at the river?"

Free Post : Football

        This year has been very good but it can defiantly be better, such as Football. Football is something that I really love and is very important to me, but the news that I couldn't play Varsity crushed me. But, I was able to play Junior Varsity and it was a fun experience. We had 8 games, but sadly I only played in 6, due to my A-C joint in my shoulder being sprained. Jv was fun and very helpful, it helped me a lot to get used to the environment of High School football games, while it was very exciting, we ended up with the best JV record ever, with 6 wins and 2 losses. Our team was full of different characters, we had serious players to childish players, and it was fun to be with my teammates. I scored 13 touchdowns through 6 games, which is very good, but I believe I can do even better.
        My JV season is all over, but I am still apart of a team and we are in the playoffs. Varsity is a level up from JV and I can't wait till next year so I can play Varsity. The varsity players are like 40 brothers to me and I really like our team, and I would say I love some of my teammates as brothers. We have a lot of fun, from practice and games to parties and LSU games. We do a lot together and I can't wait till I can get on the field with them. I have many goals for next year and I'm going to work very hard to reach them.
