2012

Add caption
Okay, I'm sure you all know about 2012. Apparently, the world will end on December 21, 2012. I have two questions about it. First of all, how will the world end? Will it be by zombies, fire, the Earth blowing up, giant tsunamis, or earthquakes? Secondly, what timezone will it begin on? Who says it is going to be on America's watch?

What I Am Learning In School

Lately, we have been learning about this person called James Armistead. He was a servant for Marquis de Lafayette who was french. James was a spy who had pretended to be a slave who had escaped his owners in order to gain freedom. He had aquired many british plans and periodically gave them to Georghe Washington. In the end, he was honored as a hero and took the name Lafayette while getting rid of Armistead.

Pageant Questions

What has been the most significant accomplishment in your life? Why?

The most signifigant accomplishment in my life was getting straight A's on my report card. I was very proud of myself. My mom showed my report card to most of our family. She was also very proud of me.

If you showed me around your state, where would you take me? Why?

I would take you to the Gateway Arch since it is a national monumeant. It is also 630 feet tall making it the tallest man made monument in the United States. The Gateway Arch has an elevator called a tram that takes you from one end to the other. Near the top of the Arch, there is an observation room that allows you to see everything below you.

Voltaire

Picture From Here
Voltaire was a writer who believed in freedom and said,“I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” What I think he meant when he said that is that even though he doesn't agree with what you are saying, you have a right to say it and no one can take that from you. Basically he is repeating part of the first amendment.

Things That Annoy Me

Picture From Here
The first thing that annoys me are shoes!

NEGATIVE=Everytime you grow, the shoes don't fit. If it rains, the shoes absorb the water and make your feet wet. If they rip, rocks get into your shoe. They sometimes give you athlete's foot.

POSITIVE=They protect your feet.

The second thing that annoys me is the sound a straw makes when the cup is almost empty.

NEGATIVE=It drives me insane! It hurts my brain! Even when the container is empty, it still makes that sound!

POSITIVE= It tells you its time to get a new drink.

The third thing that annoys me are spiders!

NEGATIVE=Some are poisonous, most bite, and all look scary.

POSITIVE=They eat flies and other bugs.

The fourth thing that annoys me is static electricity!

NEGATIVE=It scares me when it happens. It makes the part that got shocked itch.

POSITIVE=It shocks the other person too.

The fifth thing that annoys me are nosy people!

NEGATIVE=They want to know everything that happened and tell a lot of people about it.

POSITIVE=You can find out stuff easily.

BR: Last Bell Ringer

On the last bell ringer I used Blogger. I chose this program because I'm not used to all of the others, except PowerPoint. I enjoyed getting to choose what I was allowed to work on. It was more fun being able to choose what I got to work. I honestly wouldn't have changed anything about it. It was very interesting.
