Blog #3 How are you holding up

Now that we are near the end of the first six weeks I am getting the hang of things. I still have trouble with time management and not burning myself out. I am working on creating a way to plan out my day and how I can complete everything I need to do in and out of school. From all of the experiences I have had in English I have learned how the class is structured and how to handle thing. I have tons of homework for every class plus all of my extra curricular activities. I am a high school football player, powerlifter, a member of the school orchestra, and I throw shotput and discus for the school track and field team.

When I graduate from high school I would like to go to college and a big university like Texas A&M. I hope to get scholarships for not only my academics but my athletic abilities too. I want to study in the fields of Wildlife and Fisheries or Kinesiology. When I graduate from college I hope to move back to my home town of College Station, Texas and either become a Game Warden for the Texas Parks and Wildlife or a coach and a teacher at a local middle school or high school where I can spread my wisdom and help enrich the life of children and help them succeed. I would love to coach football and powerlift because those are the two thing I really enjoy doing and would like to make sure that when lifting weights that all of the children are using safe lifting techniques because I have suffered from injuries that were caused by the lack of safety in the weight room.

Blog #11 Serial

I was not able to start Serial at the same time the class did, and have had to play catch up, but so far Serial has been a very interesting experience. It amazes me how we can listen to somebody investigate a closed case from over twenty years ago and get commentary from the officers and other people that were caught up in the case back in 1999. It is hard for me to decide whether or not Adnan is guilty because I have not heard all of the podcast, and no nothing about the case other than what I've learned in class. With that said, I do not believe Adnan is guilty because of his character and how he reacted to his breakup with Hae. After breaking up Adnan and Hae remained friends. Adnan also was friends with Don, Hae's new boy friend. I think that Jay either killed Hae or play a major roll in her murder because he was able to tell the police the location of her car. Jay struggled to tell a consistent story to the detectives, changing key parts like where he saw the body and if h...

Blog #6 Political candidate blog

When choosing a candidate to vote for I look for someone who will represent my beliefs and stand by his word even under pressure. The perfect candidate is a person who will support small communities, outdoorsman, and will help prevent the spread of large cities. In my opinion they should promote mom and pop stores, and small home towns throughout the country, putting his countries needs before his. I also believe that I am not going to vote for a person who is egotistical or someone who is not part of the working class of America. I do not care if the candidate is a Democrat, Republican, or if they are just an independent party. I believe political parties are a big mistake. Political parties require you to agree with their beliefs, causing you to see things one sided. On top of that  members of your party can try and force their beliefs on you. The most important thing I look for in a person is a person who will not worry about other countries problems unless it will directly i...

Blog # 17 The downfall of Mark Spitz

The ending of Zone One really caught me of guard.  I didn't expect Mark Spitz to get infected by the plague. Nor did I expect the barricade around Zone one to fall. Mark was almost always cautious. Mark was assigned to patrol with Omega unit in Zone one. Mark and Omega unit were patrolling with Bravo unit who they met up with the day before when they became surrounded by Skels. Mark, in fear for his life ran off towards camp. While running Mark got trapped by the Skels. It shocked me that Mark was trapped and infected by the Skels just outside of the camp that was supposed to be impenetrable being destroyed by the Skels. The author decided to withhold information about the governing body being corrupted until about halfway through the book when Omega unit found out that the Lieutenant had died. I didn't find any cliff hangers at the end of any chapters throughout the book.
