I've been keeping up this blog for English class for about half a school year and I have enjoyed it for the most part . it was fun to use the website for posting my thoughts and answers to questions and share my opinion. It felt like a good way to practice writing and get better at it without the feeling of actually putting effort and work into it. now I get to decide whether i keep using this blog or not and frankly i don't really think i will. it was fun and all but i have to do alot of things this semester and my free time will be mostly taken up by outside of school activities,.
In terms of practicing opinionated blog writing this was an excellent experiance, but practically it was a pain to use the website at times and the mobile version is next to impossible to use. so i don't think ill continue to use this blog but it was fun as a class assignment/project

1. He had ways to protect and symbolize the farm.
on page 31 he says " snowball explained, to represent the green fields of england, while the hoof and horn would represent the future society of animals" He also proposes that they procure and learn how to use guns so they can protect themselves and keep safe. 2.he is more honest 1. napolean has stolen milk and apples and covered it up by saying that they needed it while snowball was honest with them despite opposition. 2.he has yet to lie to the farm so far unlike the elitest napolean. 3. he is actually intelligent 1. napolean has used his average intelligence to gain an advantage wit his supporter numbers while snowball used it for practical purposes. 2. he designed an entire windmill plus made multiple working commitees I find myself to be a mildly forgetful person. Could it be my slight ADHD? Could it be being stressed out? I may never know, but what I do know is that it has became a real problem with real consequences for me. I have multiple teachers that tell me my work quality is excellent but If I just turned in assignments on time I'd be making A's. Usually I don't Believe that compliment because I have always just thought that I'm dumb, but maybe I'm not as dumb as I might think. I mean most of my friends are in advanced classes and it has become a joke in our group that normal class students are stupid and frankly I'm kind of sick hearing that. Most people in normal classes that I know are struggling don't suffer from a low intelligence they suffer from forgetfulness
I understand that my struggle with grades started when I became involved with multiple activities and lost my sense of priority. I prioritized friends, being liked amongst my classmates and sports rather than prioritizing the one legitimate job I have,school. My brain has become a cluttered desk in the corner cubicle in a mile long office building. If I just get organized and more clear headed than I can expect my grade to go up but to this day I'm still cluttered. I think I will keep a planner on me to help plan but I'm still unsure I'll have to keep you updated. Thanks for reading! To be honest I have never really thought about how I could change the world. If I had the influence to change the world what would I do? I would wish to be a politician a clean politician, because I would want to stop political tensions between our two parties and tensions between my country and other nations. I would want to symbolize peace nation wide. Is this wishing for the impossible? maybe, but hey it can't hurt to hope right? I'm sure that conflicts will eventually occur but if I couldn't prevent it in the first place than i'll end it quicker. I would try to help allies as much as possible and defend against our foes the best I Could.
When you think of a dream changing the world an image of Martin Luthor King Jr. would come to mind. but how does a dream like MLKs change the world? Well its a lot like how conspiracy theories spread on the internet and its a lot like what niel degrasse tyson said how you could be alone with your own view of the world and you could type it into a search engine and it would direct you to every other person that shares your ideas and the next thing you know the flat-earth society is born. when you have a dream for the world and share that with others and you only convince 1 out of ten people you talk too and those people convince 1 out of ten people they talk to and so on your idea could spread state wide, nation wide or maybe even world wide and now you have changed how the world percieves itself.
If theoretically my plane was to crash on an island one obvious thing I would want with me is the red box from the airplane. Airplanes are equipped with a red square beacon that nearby planes could pick up and find,so if I had one with me then my chances of getting picked up at some point skyrockets. my second pick would be without doubt a first aid kit primarily for the gaus,medical alcohol and bandages.Why because if your not already taken out by exposure, thirst or starvation then the next on that list would be infection and frankly getting infections aren't fun.
However, the most important thing I would want to bring with me is rope. "Rope?! really?" I hear you ask is a fair sounding question at first, but once you look at the benefits of knot tying knowledge and snare knowledge you can pick up from having rope handy makes it seem like an obvious choice. What if your trying to build shelter and don't have anything to tie it down with? Well, if you had rope you wouldn't have that issue. what if you cut arm open and you need to make a tourniquet? The answer is rope. Rope can help you build repair and shelter you. What more can you want? I'd say that one of my greatest blessings is living in America. Corny right? Well yeah I guess it is pretty typical to say that, but I think its true. In America we have the gift of living a great, safe life, because of our reputation. Other countries (except for middle eastern countries run by terrorist malitias or North Korea) know that we rose up from from the oppression and abuse of one of the most powerful monarchies in history, Great Britain. not only did we free ourselves from them but we drove them back and intimidated them into leaving for good. Because of this fact others know we are not one to mess with and that keeps us safe and free from invasion.
One other reason I think living in the U.S is great is the fact that we have a system in place for when the government steps out of line and we need to defend ourselves. I realize that this is a a very debated topic and I don't want to start a fire storm by saying this, but I think that we have the non revokable right to bear arms is critical to national security. I want to have the assurance and knowledge that if the government turns against the citizens that we have the arms and ability to defend ourselves. My opinion also has to do with the the fact that 98% of mass shootings occur in gun free zones.source: http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/01/09/over-98-of-mass-shootings-occurred-on-gun-free-zones-research-shows. When I graduate high school I hope to have been able to Learn guitar, own a car, find a job and a really good college. First on the list I've discussed in my previous post and in short I would like to learn the guitar so I can move to the electric guitar and then have a fun hobby and skill. Second on the list is going to be difficult to earn primarily because of the cost and financial dent it'll put on me. Cars nowadays cost a metric tonne and are for most families a huge investment, but lucky for me i would have hoped to find good job by then and hopefully after a good amount of time I'd have enough to purchase one.
And the most important on that list is Finding a great college to fit my interests and ambitions and will help me in the field I choose for years to come. I don't know yet what it is I'm actually interested in ,but when I do hopefully I'll find the college best for me. But what about after college? Well, I want to have a fun and exciting life out in the real world. I don't care if I end up the Guitarist of the century or the cool uncle that all the nephews and nieces love but the parents hate. As long as I end up Happy with a wife, two kids, and a house I'm totally cool with it. For the past 3 weeks or so I have been trying everything on my own to learn how to play the guitar. So far nothing seems to work and it feels so complicated and confusing. The guitar is confusing to me because the smallest error can make the guitar refuse to produce sound or even make a wrong, and more terrible sound. I downloaded an app that you may have heard of before called Yousician and it S U C K S. I mean sure it teaches you the fingering and such , but it makes no to little effort in helping you learn how to make sound with the guitar.
I can play really simplified versions if songs that make the song it is simplifying two minutes and on two frets. As of right now I'd say I'm ok for a very mediocre beginner and hey It's something. My ultimate goal is to be good enough to play the guitar part of Fire on high by Electric Light Orchestra which is One continuous minute of the hardest acoustic guitar part in music history ( in my opinion). Some of my inspirations for learning the guitar are Electric Light Orchestra, a small band called Boy Pablo and Mac Demarco , because the complexity and the skill required to play one of their songs is intriguing and impressive. Hopefully one day my skills on the acoustic will help me transfer to electric and hopeful i could have a pretty fun hobby out of that. I am proud to be Flower Mound Jaguar because it has been a far better academic experience than all my past schools primarily due to the quality of staff that works here. Flower Mound High Schools staff are rated highly and can make classes fun and interesting and well as being insanely supportive and genuinely caring in the students well being and support. Another reason why I’m proud to be Jag is because of the feeling of comradery shared by the students. If you’ve ever been to a flower mound sports event or assembly than yo
