In this week's article of the week, it was about technology in the classroom, and if it helps us or not. In my opinion, it doesn't make a significant change in our behavior or our learning. We are all learning just the same and we are still doing the same things, its just that now we have more technology. To me, it seems pointless to have Chromebooks, its just more hassle and more confusing than how we used to do it. In our school, is our test scores going up? is our kids getting smarter than before we had them? i really doubt it. I liked the way it used to be. Sure the Chromebooks cut back on paper, but its just more wasted energy. Last night for example, I was trying to write this very blog and my WiFi went out, so i couldn't write it when i wanted to. It would be so much easier to just have paper and pencil.

Book Blog #7In my book Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher Clay finally gets to listen to his tape all the way through. That is when she faces the reality of the unknown. He faces the truth that if he would have just stayed in that room with Hannah, is he would have just stayed with her when she told him to leave that maybe she wouldn't have killed herself. Also he learns that his best friend Tony wasn't on the tapes but he contributed just as much as the rest of the people on the tapes. Clay learned that Tony was the one who have Hannah the tapes and he was the one who taught her how to make the tapes with the hand held recorder, which she used to record all of her suicide notes. The unknown kills them both, becauss they both do not know what might have happened if Clay would have stayed with Hannah, or if Tony wouldn't have given Hannah the tapes. The unknown is scary, and it kills them both a little.
Choice Blog #7is it a passion? An obsession? Or just something you crave? Adrenaline pumping, knees shaking, holding the draw on your bow back until your arms about fall off, just because you're waiting for the right shoot. That moment when you see that big rack come over the hillside, and you scramble to get you bow off of the hanger off the side of your tree. There is nothing like that moment. As you stand trying to get the right position of your feet on the metal footrest of your tree stand, hanging only 16 feet above the biggest buck you've ever seen. You don't know adrenaline until you have that big boy standing just beneath you, and you're trying to muffle your breathing so he doesn't catch a glimpse of you. But then again, you don't know disappointment until you sail that arrow right over the back of that monster. I'll tell you from experience, there is nothing, and I mean it, nothing, better than the feeling of adrenaline pumping through your veins, and the fear of missing him running through your mind. Sometimes even the little button bucks and does get you shaking like a leaf. Adrenaline is something you shouldn't take from granted, adrenaline shows that you are have enough passion for something that your body gives you a response, and there is no better feeling.
Choice Blog #6Obsession, now that is a big deal. Well i have a confession to make, I have one! Shoes are an obsession, they are a lifestyle and they are amazing! Some people don't care about them, but not this guy! They are awesome! There are so many endless possibilities of what types you can have. You can have shoes for basketball, you can have shoes for running, casual, or anything in between. My favorite shoes are obviously Nike. Nike has made so many shoes I don't even know where to begin. The Roshe 1s by Nike are by far my favorite ever! They are a casual shoe that is so comfortable that it is unbelievable. They have a large soul that are made for support and stability and they are like this mesh material that feels so light, like your not wearing anything. You can also go to NikeID.com and customize your own pair of shoes to all your preferences. In my opinion Roshe's are the best shoe ever. I believe this because in general, people want a shoe that is light, durable and comfortable, which is exactly what the Roshe's have! So there, you know my obsession, shhh don't tell anybody!
Book Blog #6In my book Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher, the main character, Clay, finally hears his tape from Hannah. This brings him to realize that he was just a little too late. She tells him in his tape how she was amazed by him, and that she'd wished that they would have gotten to know each other better, sooner. But there's only one problem... They didn't, and Clay was too late. Even though she had an amazing time getting to know Clay, she already made up her mind of ending her life. We can all that something out of this and that just to treat everybody how you want to be treated. If you were depressed and wanting to end your life, you'd want somebody to talk to too. Clay made the mistake of not doing that soon enough. I can tell you from experience, there has been times where I was down, just needed somebody to talk to, I know how it feels, so just be there for each other. If everybody is there for everybody, then we won't have to worry about somebody hurting them self's, because they can talk to us. Treat everybody how you want to be treated.
Choice Blog #5This, ladies and gentleman, is my rant. Feminism. I don;t agree with it at all. To me, this is the stupidest, more ignorant, and just so aggravating topic! I don't understand how a girl can say that they need to be equal to men. What?! are you kidding me?! listen us ladies, it's the 21st century! get over yourself's! Women are police officers, in the military, mechanics, firefighters! you name is, women do it! But you have the nerve to say that you girls aren't equal to men? Is it because of the past? Because you weren't aloud to vote? Well guess what, you can now. It is the same way with African American people still bringing up slavery! I'm 100% sure that you weren't there when slavery happened, and i'm 100% sure i wasn't either, so what are you mad at me about? I understand that women want to be equal, but if you open your eyes and look around, you are equal, if not more superior than men! It just bothers me, how women have every right that men do, and yet, they still complain about not being equal. How does that make any sense. Hate on me all you want ladies, but it's just my opinion.
Book Blog #5In my book, Th1rteen Reasons Why by Jay asher Hannah, the girl in the recordings after her suicide, tells about how people used her. She tells about how people played with her, like a toy. She tells how people just used her for things they needed. I believe that using somebody is completely and utterly wrong. You can't just mess around with them and put them down when you're done, like a toy. You can't do this because in general, friends don't hurt other friends, and they are there for each other, and don't just be friends so they can get something! This tends to happen more with girl it seems like, i'm not sure why, just it just seems like it. Girls can be terrible to one another! They can be your worst nightmare! But all in all, you just can't use people for stuff you need! Just accept people for who they are! This book really interests me with all the problems Clay tends to face, such as this. He learns about how Hannah was used for her body, her friends, her life. It's just sad to think that somebody can actually use you like a toy, and it's only a matter of time before your battery runs out.
In this week's article of the week, it talked about how people are getting too attached to their smart phones. This, i'm afraid, is sadly true. I will personally say that I am attached to my iPhone, i'm always on it, whether it is Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat! Smart phones are just so addicting. How can you not love them? Music, internet, camera, any answer you can ever think of, right in the palm of your hand! It's crazy to think that your little phone can do all of this stuff! Yes, they can be bad though too! Somebody get addicted to them and use them all the time, and I mean ALL of the time. Like while driving, which is illegal, and also very dangerous to you, and other drivers! All of this is just an example of how much our generation has changed, it is all technology! It's everywhere! We better get used to it because it is't like it's going to go away! Even think, im typing this on a Chromebook right now! Hello?! It is all about technology, it's not going anywhere, get used to it, or you'll be left behind!
Choice Blog #4What is perfection really anyway? being "cute"? being smart? what about being popular or wealthy? if you ask me, i think all of that doesn't really matter. I think that we should just be friends with, and love everybody. Nobody is perfect, once we realize that, I think we will be okay. Is it a weird to anybody besides me that if a random guy asked a wealthy man for a dollar on the street, the wealthy man would blow him off. But if the same random guy asked a homeless person, that homeless person would give everything he has in his cup, that we worked all day for, so you can get a ride on the city bus home! Those who have nothing, tend to give more, and those who have everything, tend to give less. Instead of bullying and hazing, why not giving complements and hugs? If we would believe that everybody is unique and everybody is perfect is there own way. "Pulling someone down will never help you reach the top" Quit putting people down, help them up! To receive a smile, give one! (:
Book Blog #4In my book Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher, clay continues to listen to the tapes from Hannah, but there is something wrong. Clay is still keeping this a secret from his mom, his best friend, he's keeping it from the world. Friends are something you should take pride in, they're the ones that are supposed to be there for you no matter what. They're supposed to be on your side, and support you 100% in an decision, anything thrown your way. But clay seems to be pushing his friends away. He isn't telling his best friend whats going on. He steals from his friend then doesn't tell him the truth about it. Friends don't lie to friends, friends don't keep secrets, and friends should be trusting of each other enough tell them exactly how you are feeling and what is going on with your life. I get that sometimes you want to keep to yourself and just be alone, but sometimes you need somebody to talk to, and you need somebody to be there for you just like you need to be there for them as well. Friends should be there for friends. Enough said.
