Tell me about your weekend. Give me a story, something funny that happened, an experiencing you had, the way you felt, etc. Include photos!

I didn't really have a "funny story" weekend.  I played a lot of Playstation and watched a lot of Friends on Netflix.  I did have a hitting lesson for baseball, though.  I think that was the only time I left the house this weekend.  I just like to enjoy my time off of school by relaxing.

Well I want to be a veterinarian so my classes would consist of a lot of science like chemistry, anatomy, and biology.  I wouldn't have to take any art classes, which for me don't mean anything and they are a waste of classes I could take.  I think then I would actually care about school and want to come if I only took the classes that interested me and is what I want to do in life.  I would also want to learn about how to survive, like how to buy my groceries or balance my checkbook.  We don't do that in school, but boy am I glad I can find the focus of a hyperbola.

Tell me what you believe this cartoon is trying to say. Do you agree or disagree with this idea? Try and look at this from two different perspectives. What is your perspective? What would be an adult/teacher's perspective?

I believe this cartoon is trying to say that American's don't care about school and what happens in there life.  I will admit it happens sometimes, but those people aren't the majority. This only relates to about 5% of the population so this stereotype isn't fair.  It is sad that the people only pay attention to those who don't.  I'm one of those kids that works hard in school, so this cartoon is false in my case.  All of my friends work hard, so again, it's not true.  I'm almost positive that China has those students, but not a lot of them.

Think about the quote above. What does this mean to you? How could this apply to your life? How could this apply to your school work?  I would love to give you less work in class if it meant you were going to focus harder on the work. Do you think you would get more out of it? Would that work for you? Why or why not?

I agree 100% with this quote.  I believe if you have less on your plate, you can be happier and do better work.  Instead of taking 7 classes in high school, we could take 4 and I would bet a million dollars the grades would rise tremendously.  The only thing holding us back from that is graduation requirements and college resumes.  If there was more time to finish big projects, the outcome would be 1000x better.  I would love to do less work, but put more effort into each and every worksheet or project.

Tell me all about your weekend! I sure hope you have photos to share

The only eventful thing this weekend was my friend, Dawson Gardner, became an Eagle Scout.  That is the highest rank in boy scouts.  Other than that though, nothing happened.  I sat around and played Destiny all weekend and then went outside to enjoy the really nice weather.

Tell me about some interesting things you have learned about your global issue so far. What have you learned that you didn't know before? Include a couple images from the internet if possible. (Make sure to cite images that are not your own.)

I learned about why Israel is a country and why there is so much conflict in the Middle East.  I also learned that there isn't a solution to end the violence yet.  There is two solutions but neither side will agree to both.  I also learned that a terrorist group is in charge of Palestine, their name is Hamas.

You haven't had a chance to tell me about your Sweetheart weekend yet - tell me about it now! Include photos if you have them. Even if you just laid around on the couch and watched Netflix, tell me all about it.

My sweetheart weekend was pretty epic.  First, I went to my friend's house, Cooper May, and he bought me Winsteads.  We ate pizza and played with his insane dog Mo.  After I returned home, I got on PS4 with my other friends; Dawson, Adam, Danny, and Asim.  We played Grand Theft Auto until 3:30 in the morning.  My night was much better than going to a dance.

What is email? When do you use email in your own personal life? List reasons and ways that people use email. What do you know about "email etiquette"? EXPLAIN

Email is a way to communicate.  I personally don't use email except when I need to get a document from school to my house to do for homework.  Business uses email to send chain information to many people and some people use email to get accounts for websites.  Email etiquette is using proper grammar as you are writing a letter, and also is being nice to people you send an email to.  No matter who you write to, people will always be judging you on how you write.
