Outside 2

Well as my final outside activity I went and saw mt Math prof's student for one of his classes. They had built hover crafts!! they used leaf blowers and designed the chairs they sat on but they really worked and i was completely mind blown. I wanted to know how it worked so bad so i decided to ask. He said that the two leaf blowers generate enough power if angled correctly at the ground to give a little lift the lift is enough to raise someone off the ground and allow them to float in the air slightly. Then we have someone push and run behind the person floating to get them to move but stopping is a problem because its not like you can slow down to a stop like in a car. but its a concept like it. they Had to manually stop the people after they eased of the gas on the leaf blowers but immediately stopping could have hurt someone.

outside 1

For one of my Outside class activities I Attended the Kick ball tourney. This was put together by Phi Theta Kappa and it was used to raise money for testicular cancer. It was a lot of fun I had never played kickball before in my life! I signed up solo so I placed on a team I didn't know anyone on the team either. It was quite easy to kick the ball because I play soccer so its just a one touch finish basically but its to wild to me and Kickball is a little to much like baseball to me and thats why I play soccer I do not like baseball. Im pretty sure that the kickball tourney made about 250$ from the fundraiser and everyone seemed to enjoy it a lot. I think that they should do more sport activities Richard Bland doesn't have a lot of sports and I am almost sure that there are athletes out there that can't do what they're good at because they don't have the sport there. I think if they changed up what they do they would bring in more money for the fundraiser.

Well Post number four. I am deciding what to choose as my focus for the second essay. Our topic is family and I feel as if this is going to be the hardest one to write about. I have been thinking about writing about how hard military families have it with separation from spouse and the kids always having to move every few years. I feel like it makes it hard for some kids to adjust and fit in this way and having to let your spouse go for long periods of time takes it toll on people. OR I can write about "Family time" and how a lot of families lack this now. Family time could be as simple as eating dinner at the table together, watching TV, or even going on Vacation. This is becoming a problem because it makes it harder for the kids to communicate with their mom and dad. This may cause the kid to make bad choices in his or her life. I think that if families spent more time together then it would benefit who the kid becomes when he or she grows up. Having family time also teaches kids manners and how to be respectful. I know that is how I Learned to be respectful from my parents and them telling me what I can and cannot say. How I can talk to people and how to be (yes ma'am yes sir no ma'am no sir.)

Blog 3

Well I am quite behind on these but I can catch up. Our 1st grammar shmammer was fun and interesting. The group I was in had the topic of Words that are the same but mean something different. For example There, their, they're, Choose, and chose. We played a game at the end the fly swatter game I think it was called. Were Sabrina read a sentence and the two people took there "tool" (was a balloon) and smacked the word on the board that they thought was the right word in the sentence. The winner got candy and the loser got a smaller piece of candy like a door prize for playing.I think that It helped a lot of people understand better of when and what to use the words. I know that I didn't understand when the correct forms of there,their,and they're until i was in the 9th grade not joking.
