Free Agents

One more day until free agents choose their teams. LeBron James, the best player in the NBA will finally choose a team. He is the most anticipated free agent in sports history. Imagine, there has been many great basketball players, but James sticks out. He averaged 29 points per game, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists. He is just one of the greatest players to play the game of basketball. Hopefully he decides to stay with his home team of Cleveland. Without him there, there is no team, literally. He is the tenth player to win most valuable player back to back.

Math

Something that has become very easy for me has been math. Although sometimes I have no clue what I have to do, I always manage to figure it out. Math has always been one of the toughest subjects for most students. They have to just keep trying to do their best.
At my middle school, there is a program called Academic Games. It is a quiz bowl type game where people compete. I've been part of this program since I was in the fifth grade, and I must say this has helped me a lot. I've competed in the National numerous of times, and I've won third place in equations in the nation. It was such a difficult task to do.

Summon

As of right now, researching for papers is sometimes difficult. Sometimes Google doesn't give you what you are looking for and sometimes it is difficult to refine you search. When you use Summon, you are able to refine your very easily. This will not only give you great and relevant articles, but it will save time. If I had to use Summon, I believe it would be for research. Something I would enjoy researching would be engineering. I enjoyed using Summon. It was easy to use and it gave relevant information.
If I end up coming to Grand Valley State University, I would be using Summon for many of my research papers.

Late

Today started as a horrible day. I never thought that this would happen to me, but it did. I never thought I would over sleep in Upward Bound. I'm a person who likes taking care of business.

English:Math

Something that I have never enjoyed has been English class. It's not because I don't like the teacher, but because I'm not great at the subject. The one class that I do very well on is math class. This subject just comes too easy for me. Maybe because that's how I think; My thinking is like math, If I do this plus this other activity the result would be this. Its something that I am able to comprehend with ease.

Saving a Dog

Going to go get some books for Mrs. Breen, we came across a dog. We took thirty minutes to go get the books, when it was suppose to take ten minutes.

Money

Money is something that everyone works towards getting. But, while trying to get money they lose focus of the things surrounding them such as their famalies. Money helps to bring happiness but it isn't something that you should lose your focus on. When you make so much money, you do not know what to spend it on. For example, Bill Gates gives away a lot of money so others can achieve their goals. He can buy so many things, but he insists on giving it away.

Music

Something that I will never get tired of is music. It's just so soothing. There will always be a song for the mood you are in. Listening to music is one thing, but playing is another. When you play music there is another feeling. A feeling that feels great and makes you in control.
These are the reasons why I listen and play an instrument. I listen to R & B, Hip Hop, and of course my Spanish music. These genres just make me more relax. I play the Alto Sax. I must say this is the best instrument out there. The reason why I say this is not because I play it, but because of how it sounds.

June 15- Basketball

What is on my mind?
There are many things going through my mind. One particular thing is the NBA finals. I'm looking forward towards watching a great game. The thing I love to see is a great game being played. Thus far, the NBA finals have been going as planned. The Boston Celtics won the previous game, which means that they are in control of the series. All they have to do is win one more game, and the rest will be history.
The reason why I enjoy watching basketball is because it is very competitive. It is great to play, and fun to watch especially when the players are great.
