subway hero
Today in class, we watched a video about the "Subway Hero". This was our first example of a modern day hero. This gave me an idea of what a hero is, and also was a example for how to conduct my interview. -
Roy Benavides
Today we watched videos and read articles about the incredible story of Roy Benavides. This was the second type of hero i have learned about in class, because Roy was a war hero. My idea of a hero has now grown. -
Kristin Quillin interview
today i got my second example of how to properly conduct my interview, now I just need someone to interview. -
Assignment
Today, we got our assignment setup. Time to pick my hero!!! I'm still not sure, im thinking a political hero but that doesnt interest me. -
library day Part 1
I've come up with my hero! I'm going to do my project on Ayrton Senna, the greatest formula 1 car driver of all time. -
library day Part 2 the epic sequel
Still have not found any library books on Ayrton Senna (probably because americans like nascar for some unkown reason) despite tons of books online on various sites. Looks like i'm turning to my mom's trusty kindle. -
Book
It's Martin Luther King Jr. day! No school but, I did my my book on Ayrton Senna via kindle. Time to start reading...or play some video games. -
Change the World
We watched a couple of videos in class but one stuck out. The badly drawn boy was about small acts of kindness having huge impacts. This also adds to my idea of a hero in that a hero does not have to do something extreme like Roy. -
Change the World 2: a new day and new videos same groups of 4
Wells Fargo hits you deep. This time not in the stock market, but in a commercial. It had the same exact concept of the badly drawn boy, just more realistic. Also John Mayor sings a song. He was Mr. Pessimistic in todays lesson singing about hoplessness, at least i think. I could'nt understand him very well. -
DEAR
Finished my book today! Only took me a week to finish a 200 page book. Yea i know, i'm a pro. -
Interview participant wanted. See owner for more details
The only person I know that has the same passion for racing and cars as I do and basic knowledge of Ayrton Senna is my friend Santi. We met on a cruise over summer when my brother invited him to come with us. The only problem is that he's at UT right now and he has stuff to study for and parties to hit up, and he does not need to be bothered by a highschool kid for an interview so im stuck right now -
Blogster Rawr
Heros in Literature blog is due today. Wrote something about the Lord of the Rings books so now all I want to do is go watch the movies. -
presentatiom
I had my biography paragraph presentation today. I think I nailed it! Maybe it was too short but the relaxation of a 100 on my AP psych quiz and a 100 on my algebra 2 quiz and a 100 on my PreAp chemistry test to maintain my perfect 100 average in that class might have gotten to me a little bit.
