5th Post

"When the well's dry, we know the worth of water"-Benjamin Franklin. I believe this quote means that people take things they already have for granted. Even though it should not be this way, sadly it is. I believe that we need to stop taking things for granted, because people in Africa and in Asia don't even have food, and here we are complaining that the things we have arent good enough, or new enough. This quote means that only when we don't have something we used to have, then we understand how much it meant to us. More people need to understand this quote and follow it.
Reflection
In the past two weeks I have done a lot. On Thursday we had a choir concert, and I personally thought all of the choirs did very well. This weekend I had a swim meet and I did pretty well. Halloween is next week! I cant wait, its gonna be pretty sweet. Thanks for reading my blog and tune in next week for my 6th post!

4th Post

Hey everybody! Its me again and I am doing my fourth post for world geography. This week the topic is... illegal immigration. Now this is a pretty controversial topic, but I will just be giving my opinion. Now down here in the grand, old state of Texas, we have quite a lot of illegal immigration. Because Texas shares a border with Mexico there are a lot of Mexicans that try to cross the border. They believe that by leaving Mexico that they can start new in the United States. This is bad because they take jobs away from American people that need the jobs to support themselves. And the bad part is, the government doesn't even seem to care! They just seem to look the other way and let it slip by! Sure there is a border guard and a fence but they don't really seem to be dealing with such a large issue as this one. I personally think that this should be stopped, and that we cannot have people that aren't even American citizens take away jobs that should go to people that need them! This may not be what everyone thinks and once again this is just my opinion, but that everyone's opinion needs to be heard for this country to succeed.
Reflection:
The past two weeks have been pretty crazy. There has been a large amount of homework and I am really glad it is the weekend. Two very bad things have happened in the past two weeks. My biology teacher, Mr. Schwarz has been diagnosed with cancer. I feel very bad for him and his kids and I hope he gets better. Second, my German teacher, Frau Lesher, is having twins! This is very good news, but it is a risky pregnancy because they are in the same amniotic sac. It is bad because we will not have her for our teacher next semester. I am very happy though, because I am writing this blog in Chicago. My family is staying with my grandparents and we are having an awesome time! I have already picked out my future car from the Lamborghini dealer(there are 50 of this model in the world, 2 in the United States) and I cant wait for tomorrow! Thanks for reading my post, and stay tuned for my fifth!

3rd post

My assignment for this post is to talk about culture by talking about my favorite bands, so here I go. I enjoy many different genres of music. Some of my absolute favorite bands are The White Stripes and The Beatles. I very much enjoy Justin Timberlake, because he is very talented, and he can sing, dance, and act. I am also getting into Frank Sinatra because he is also extremely talented. I am going to put some links to great videos by some awesome bands.
The White Stripes-Fell in Love With a Girl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRDi67G0Siw
The White Stripes-The Hardest Button to Button http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLESpHrtvxs
The White Stripes- 7 Nation Army http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VutMLnjXTY4
All of these videos are amazing! The first is made of legos, the second was in the simpsons, and the third is just awesome.
