Testing, testing, testing

 I feel that it is good because you need to know stuff when your younger rather than your older because you learn alot more stuff when your older.  I think education does rely too heavily of testing rather than just homework and other projects.  If there werent any tests I would be fine with that because it would take a lot of stress off of a lot of students.  Teachers would have grasped their topic by seeing how well you do on homework and giving shorter quizes that are worth a little more than regular homework problems.  I think that the standardized tests are stupid mainly because I don't like taking more tests than I already have to.  There can be a 'fair' standard test for everyone by just shortening the questions and lowering the points to take the stress off of kids.  I have done okay on those tests but I definantly don't like taking them.  I believe they have a good point because kids can do really good on homework and then just flunk the tests just because of how much stress teachers put on kids these days.  Mrs. Vontroba is a PERFECT example.

Top Four

The four things that are most important to me are football, family, my dog and the fourth one is still undecided because I can't think of another one at the moment.  Football is important to me because I have played it and followed it ever since I knew what it was.  Family is important to me because they're some of the only people I can trust besides a few other friends.  And my dog is important to me because he is the last animal I have left as of right now and he's one of my best friends.

Popular Presidents

The president I believe had the greatest impact was John F. Kennedy.  I believe JFK had the greatest
impact because he gets alot of publicity and people that were alive back then say he was the greatest president so I'm just saying JFK off of what people of that age told me.  The hardest thing about being the president I would say is making the right decisions that will make the people of the U.S happy.  I would never run for president so I can't think of a campaign pitch. 

I want out of here

I wouldn't want to far from here, but I'd rather be up north instead of down here in the lower peninsula of Michigan.  I'd rather be in the Upper Peninsula because people are more laid back up there, it has some of the best spots to go hunting up there if you own land, and it gets much colder up there than it does down here. 

Bug Out

If I were an insect, I would be a turantula.  I would be a turantula because no one would want to come near me because they know I'll bite them if they do.  And I could boss the other insects around and eat them if they don't obey me.

Final Exam

One of the tools that we have used in Exploring Technology that I think I will be able to use after graduating from high school is photoshop.  Maybe if a become a professional photographer one day I could use photoshop to take stuff out of the picture that I don't want to be there.  One way I could use this tool is to cut any people out of a picture that I didn't want in there.  Another way I could use this tool is to maybe take away any unwanted grass from sports balls that are lying on the ground like we did in Exploring Tech.  That's all the ways I can think of right now.  Of the listed tools, I would probably never use RSS again because it's just too difficult for me and the last RSS project I did didn't go too well on finding the stuff I needed.

Vacation Time

My time off was great!  I enjoyed the three weeks we got off of school because it allowed me to sleep in more than usual so I was certainly ready to come back to school after that long break.  I spent some time with family during christmas time and all the kids opened presents.  It was a fun time.  No I did not make any new year resolutions.  I loved all the snow days like I said previously it allowed me to sleep in on days that I thought I would be going to school.
