End of Upward Bound 2010

Blogging was key to the class. It forced us to write even when we had writer's block. As high school seniors, we are going to be facing many classes that will require us to write a lot. Blogging helped me write when I was incapable of writing. I enjoyed expressing myself through blogger, it was something that I never thought I would do. But, it helped us become better writers and it was great reading about others also. Since this class was our first class, all I had on my mind was how comfortable I would be if I was sleeping. Writing without a topic was hard at times. Overall, blogging was fun, it was a new experience that I enjoyed.
For the rest of the summer I plan on trying to find a job. I have to start buying my own stuff, I'm tired of asking for money from my parents. Also, since I will not be able to test out of pre-calc, I will still continue my independent study. I would like to get ahead of the game as far as possible. Other things that will happen this summer are still not planned. The best things about summer are the things that are not planned.
As for the rest of my life, after high school, I would like to attend the University of Michigan and pursue a bachelor's degree in engineering. As of right now, many things are a mystery, I guess I will have to see where life takes me.

Second to last post

Hershey's chocolate has to be my favorite treat of all time. There is never a time where I would prefer a different chocolate bar. It is just something about the taste that satisfies my taste buds. It never disappoints me. The plain chocolate is good, but milk chocolate with almonds is the best.

Family

This weekend was a great weekend. I didn't do antything special; it just felt great. There wasn't much going on, a very relaxed weekend. Played frisbee with the family. Went to the mall, bought some stuff. Nothing grand, but great quality time with the family.

Big Three

One of the best things that could have happen in the NBA happened. The top three free agents have signed with the same team. Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and LeBron James are going to be partners, and work hard so they can get their fingers filled with championship rings. LeBron James was the free agent that most people wanted to know right away where he was going to go. He made his decision yesterday. He decided to join the Miami Heat. This means that there is going to be a massive heat wave coming for the next couple of years. The only problem here is who is going to shine between Lebron and Dwayne. They are both superstars of the league, both of them want to shine at the top at the end. Who will it be?

The Hardest Class

The hardest class that I have ever taken has been A.P U.S History. This class had so much reading homework that I couldn't finish on that certain day. The instructor was so hard on us, that most of us disliked him. But, in the long run, he is going to be the best teacher I have ever had because he pushed us to measures that we thought we wouldn't be able to surpass. Although I didn't receive the grade that I wanted, I did learn a lot. Sometimes us students need to stop complaining and realize that our teachers care and want you to succeed. That is why they challenge us. I feel that when a teacher does not challenge their student, then they really don't care about their students.

Class

The thing I hate the most about school is when classes get boring. I hate it, I just don't know why some teachers think that something is fun when they obviously see there students dosing off. The one class that has never made me go to sleep has been math class because I feel that if you don't pay attention, you wont be able to teach yourself.

Competition

Today is going to be a great day of competition. One of our TC's has organized a volleyball tournament. There is going to be ten teams, nine teams that consist of just students and the final team is made up of all the TC's. The TC's think that the students are just playing for second place, they are sadly mistaking that I have a really good team. Two days ago, nine seniors were elected as captains, me being one chose people who I have seen hustle. We don't have to win the whole tournament, but we do have to hustle. We have to show the TC's that we are not just going to hand them over the win, they too have to play hard.
