Wake Skating

       My dad has taken me down to my grandpa's lake houuse ever since I was a little boy. We do great stuff like ride jet skis, boat rides, tubing, knee boarding, and skiing, This year for Christmas I asked for a wake skate. A wake skate is a board like a wake board, but without bindings. This means that your feet are placed freely on the top of the board. Aftwer Christmas we went to the lake house for New Years Eve. This wea going to be my only chance to try to wake skate until summer time. So we went to Sports Authority and bought a wet suit. I figured that wearing it would keep me completely warm, that I wouldn't feel cold at all. So one day that we were there it was sunny outside, so we decided to try it. It was only forty-four degrees outside meaning that the water was even cooler. I strapped up and jumped in the water to give it a try. The second I was in the water, my feet and hands were completely numb. It was much harder to breathe than normal and I felt that the wet suit was not working at all. To make it all worse, you have to pull the boat very slowly until the rope looses all the slack and becomes tense. This took very long while I was waiting in the freezing cold water. I had never wake boarded before, or wake skate, so I did not know what to do. Somehow, I managed to get up on my first try. It was lots of fun and was nothing like skiing or knee boarding. I was glad I tried it and can not wait to try it more this summer.

spring

The earth is changing as spring has come. Flowers and trees are blooming. I like spring time because I can do more outdoor activites like swimming, going to the beach and the lake. I like the warmer weather but I don't like it being as hot as the summer time. Although, even though it is spring it has been cold outside the past couple of days.

Opinions

I think opinions are very important. It creates diversity in the world. I have many opinions along with my parents and my teachers. There are many topics to have an opinion about. I was evolution in the debate and we went on to the final round. Then we lost the final round. I ended up changing my opinion from evolution to evolution guided by a devine being.

Who is responsible?

I think that Capulet and Montague are to blame. They let their children it was alright to hate and stereotype against a family and anyone who was for them. Romeo and Juliet could have happily got married if there was no feud between their household. They had to get married in secrecy since their families were enemies, and one plan led to the next getting in a deeper and deeper hole. Eventually they took their lives.

Why AP?

I think that AP classes will prepare me for classes in my senior year and freshmen year in college. I like being challenged in classes, with a good learning environment. I have always liked learning about history and think I will enjoy the curriculum in AP World History. 

One Love by Bob Marley

One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying (One Love)
Hear the children crying (One Heart)
Sayin' give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Sayin' let's get together and feel all right

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love)
There is one question I'd really like to ask (One Heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me

One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One Love)
So shall it be in the end (One Heart)
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
One more thing

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One Love)
So when the Man comes there will be no no doom (One Song)
Have pity on those whose chances grove thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation

Sayin' One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
I'm pleading to mankind (One Love)
Oh Lord (One Heart)

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right 

Split Poem

I like going to school                     I hate school and

and make all A's.                          I flunked my exam.

Everything is going well.                Nothing is right.

I am doing great in all                  I don't understand

of my classes.                             anything at all.

I try the best                                I feel like giving

that I can.                                             up.

I am interested                             I am so bored

in all of my classes                        I fall asleep.

I like learning new                     I often wonder why

things everyday.                        are we learning this.

School leads to                             I don't need to

the future.                                   go to school.

I am applying                              I am thinking

for college.                              about going to college.

Should people marry without the blessing of their friends and family?

I think that people should take their friends and families perspective into consideration. Their opinion matters to a degree. Although you shouldn't avoid getting married just because your parents don't like your girlfriends religion or race. If your parents tell you that you are too young though, then you might want to think about waiting a while. It is always good to consider others opinions on marriage and other actions.
