The Time I Broke My arm

 

   I was in Florida for a soccer tournament and I got there before anyone else on my team. The night before my first game we went to this place called Old Towne and we road on the worlds tallest sky coaster and it was amazing. Which we did it several more times after that. But after we got off of the sky coaster we then walked by this mechanic bull thing that people can ride and there is padding all around it in case you fall off. Then I asked if I could try it and my parents let me and we had to sign a waver saying we won’t sue if we get injured or anything. So we did it anyways and I was doing pretty good but then at the end they sped it up and I flew off and stuff my arm out to block me from hitting hard because I forgot it was cushioned. Next thing I know I heard a really loud crack and a pop and I had trouble getting up and moving my arm. So I worked my way away from the bull holding my arm. It was hurting really bad so I didn’t do anything for the rest of the time there. Later that night I told my mom that I needed to go to the hospital and they told me that I couldn’t play soccer the next day and I needed a hard cast and had to come back and get it the following Monday. Instead of getting the hard cast we got some kind of arm thing so I could still play soccer. The next day I played and I did just fine and we won the tournament. My arm was still hurting for another month after that.

 

   This story is good because it has a lot of detail and has a happy ending. This also tells a true story and maybe people want to hear about something that happened in my life.  Also it is very cool that I was playing soccer in Florida. Therefore this is a good story for me to tell my friends and how I bounced back and still played soccer.

It surprised me how long this issue was actually going on, at first I didnt think that it was that big of a deal. I didnt know that I had so cite my sources and all that and I didnt know how to do all that and the next time I write a paper I will do this with no problem the next time. I wish I would have known how much this issue meant to people before I wrote this essay. The easiest part of the whole thing was getting all the notes. The hardest part was putting the notes into the essay and chosing which ones would be the best for it. Therefore there are plenty of things that I will change for my next research and it will be way easier.

Wednesdays class

Today we watched some of the video called God Grew Tired of Us. Then we had to take notes during it and I thought the part we saw was very interesting and life changing. The people that came from Sudan were so interested in everything in the US and were so fascinated from the little things which I would be also because they came from a totally different place on the planet. It was very funny to see the reactionsfrom them to everything. Therefore todays class was funny and very laid back. Also it was very easy.schickhumangeo.blogspot.com

today

 Today in class  we were taking a test about everything that we have learned so far and i thought it was easy but that might just be because i got everything wrong. Before the test about 3 people asked the same exact question about if this test was going to beon the midquarter. then other people just started asking really stupid questions. Then we started watching a video called God Grew Tired Of us and it was very depressing and told me just to be thankful of my life and be glad to have everything that i do. Also to not take anything for granted in life. THe video was about a bunch of sudanese people who war in the middle of a civil war and they couldnt stay in sudan because it was not safe so they moved to ethiopia and then there government crashed so then they moved to kenya. scickhumangeo.blogspot.com

Essay #2

If Elbert Hubbard and Socrates time traveled to the current century i know that they would not be proud of any of us.The only thing that i believe they would be proud of are to Socrates to know that people still learn about his way of life. he would be disappointed to see that people have become very lazy and how half of our population are obese. Elbert Hubbard said that most people now a days and do the least they can to get the most credit that they can. People now are always on the electronics and to easy on themselves instead of going outside to excercise to lose weight. Most people just stay inside all day and they would nould not be proud of them at all.schickhumangeo.blogspot.com

Essay #1

Arête is being your own hero and it is about doing the best that you can do in life and you know that you did your best. Socrates demonstrated arête very well by teaching all of his students how to do what Arete always helped people do and has a greek philosopher he taught his students and young children new ways of thinking that would affect the world in so many ways. In some ways that may be good, but not when there are better ways to do things. Questioning was wrong and rude, but Socrates did it anyway because he wanted to learn, he knew that it would be difficult but it did not stop him, because it helped him in the long run and he has now realized that.  I think he realized that since no one else will stand up for his country and do what is right then he should. Therefore he taught many people the correct things to do in Greek and how to get better.schickhumangeo.blogspot.com

awesome day

Today in class we were doing all of our presentations and before we started we were all in our groups still working on our powerpoints besides my group so Holly and I chose to go first but we couldnt find out why you couldnt get on my powerpoint thing. Then we got half way through our presentation and someone sneezed so Holly got sidetracked and kept talking to someone so i coughed reallt loud to get her attention. Then afterthat Clarke and some other kid went and they didnt have a good presentation like ours. Then we kept messing with them and the Nick kept playing random songs and kept messing with me and i couldnt pay attention. Next we all started talking about a bunch of random stuff and Dan and Matt and I were talking about our countries. Therefore this class was by far the best class we have had this year i believe.

wednesday

Today in class we were going a little bit over the homework and we were talking about AIDS and how you were never taught about proper sex. So then you told us that you found out on your own. Then Damon asked you a question about if dolphins could get AIDS or something so you said you know what i dont know.... you can look that up for me. So i went along on to google and asked if dolphins could het AIDS and some wierd random website said no. Then you said that people in Africa have like 5-6 babies knowing that a few will die. Then someone said why dont they just have 1 child that they could afford instead of letting some go through the pain of dying. Then at the end of the class we watched a 5 minute long video about technology and a whole bunch of cool facts and you told us to choose 2 and write them in our blog. Therefore these are the two that I chose:
1.China will become the number 1 english speaking country in the world
2.If facebook was a country it would be the most populated after China and Indiaschickhumangeo

smarties

Today in class we were going over all of the homework and the answers we got and you were asking us what we thought was the most important question. Then you were telling us about the 9/11 incident and what you did right when you walked into class that day because there were two students whose family members were missing after this event. After that you were talking about how you told all of your students that this will be a major part of history. Then you said that one kid asked you if you think that this is the start of world war III and you said that you honestly didn’t know at that time. But you gave us all smarties at the end of the class and I kept catching everything that you were throwing at everyone else but me. Therefore it was a sad yet fun class and I thank you for the smarties.

05 – Hermia

    

     I have many interesting facts about me read on to find out some of them. I play on the varsity soccer team. Also I play on a club team outside of highschool and my team is ranked the seventh best in the nation. We have competed in a bunch of different states all along the east coast like Florida, New York, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Also we have traveled to Arizona to compete and have been to Michigan three times competing. I have three dogs named Lucky, Raven, and Buddy and I have two brothers, one older and one younger. We live in bowleys quarters on the water and enjoy many water sports. My family also has a house in Florida which we visit a lot. That concludes a few things unique about me.

 

    A few of my goals for the future is to start on varsity, get straight A’s in school this year, and to not have any missing assignment for English. I would like to start on Varsity being a freshman because not a lot of people have done that. First I need to go 110% every practice we have in order to succeed that goal. Then I would like to get straight A’s this year because I need to prove to  myself that I can do it. But in order to do that I need to strive to give hard work in class just like I would on the soccer field. The reason that I would like to not have any missing assignment in English class is because you said we needed a goal for English and because if I have no missing assignments that raises my chance to get straight A’s. In order to do this I need to get all my stuff turned on time and be done with it the day I get the assignment. Therefore I wanna succeed all my goals this year.nattanasio@johncarroll.org

woah

Today in class we were talking about how to write good notes and you read us a short essay about illinois and were asking us what we wrote down and told us to write a mini essay on what we took notes on. Then you said how some students came back to thank you for teaching then that because most the kids in college dont know how to. Then you told us that what we did today and had trouble with was at a 4th grade level and people still had problems with understanding what to do. When you told us that i felt that we should all feel a little ashamed. Then you told us a lot about your family and the schools that you went to. Which i thought that today in class was pretty fun and interesting. Therefore that sums up our class today.rschick@johncarroll.org

class

 Today in class we were talking about our last classes blogs and the vocabulary and where we got all of our answers at. Then someone said that they got the answers from wikipedia and everyone agreed and said that they did also. So then we got into a long talk about wikipedia and you were telling us that you liked it because there are a bunch of different examples to choose from and if we can trust it or not. Then you were going to different websites asking about if its a good source to use or not. Then we were talking about how almost every good resource had a site that they got their answers from. Also we were saying that it matters what it says like .com or .org or .gov. Then we went to the nasa page and I looked at some of the games. Finally we ended our class after looking at the new york times page.
