Blog it Assignment- Ken Robinson

Oh my gosh! Can I just say how much I liked Ken Robinson's accent. I loved his whole presentation; the thing I liked most about it was that he is funny. His presentation was about how schools need to incorporate creativity in our education. Creativity is important because some people NEED it; Like how he shared about the woman who in school could not sit still but if there was music she would gravitate towards the music. I compleatly agree with him; personally I like to have creativity in my daily life style.

Photo Blog! Here Kitty, Kitty!

These are picture of my three cats, Ginger, Squirt, and Bailey (in order of pictures). I had just gotten my new  Cannon camera when I took these pictures. Christmas day I opened the box already knowing what was inside. As soon as I got it out of the box and in my hot little hands I was busy taking pictures. The camera came with a bag and a longer lens. My mom had taken each part and hid them around the house; I had no clue I was getting a camera, but the trick was I had to find it.To this day I absolutely love my camera.

Blog It Assignments-Do Not Eat The Marshmallow

What! Are you telling me not to eat this marshmallow for 15 minutes? Are you crazy?! Joachim de Posada explained how 4-5 year old kids were placed in a room with a marshmallow, and they were told not to eat it for 15 minutes; they explained to the kids that if they didn't eat the marshmallow they would get two marshmallows. Of course two out of three kids ate the marshmallow. Most of the kids picked it up, felt it, smelt it, and set it back down until they couldn't take it anymore. Later they came back to the kids at the ages of 15 or 16. They saw how they were doing in school; the kids who had not eaten the marshmallow were successful  in school, where the kids who did weren't doing as well. I didn't know that eating a marshmallow would make a person end up working in McDonald's

Blog It Assignment- Adora Svitak

Adora Svitak, a striving young lady, proving that children are not always the childish ones. She is 12 and already has books published—she is speaking in large groups of people who come to watch her speak. If you can’t tell already, is not childish. I’m sure most people would agree to say that Adora is right. I know that I get agitated when someone tells me I’m being childish. The way Svitak spoke drew me in; I wanted to listen to her, and I wanted to pay attention to her words. You can tell Adora is an intelligent girl.

Blog It Assignment- Steve Jobs

I don’t know very much about Steve Jobs except the fact that he was co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc. The impact he made on the would might not seem big but in reality It sort of was. I mean yeah he’s not like Elvis Presley where everybody knows him , but he did affect  the way we live our lives today. Just think back in the 1990’s how cell phones were giant bricks; now not only are they travel size they also do oh so much more. In his graduation speech he gave,he really made me think about my life and how I should live my life. In his graduation speech he said  he had dropped out of college, and it was the best decitions he had ever made. Now look at what he has done... I mean that pretty huge.

JOY OF THE DAY HURRAY!

When I rose from my warm bed this morning, I felt the cool crisp morning air on my toasty warm body; I was overjoyed to see the sparkling white snow outside my window. After school in the freezing cold, I had the pleasure of going trick-or-canning with my small group. We dressed up in costume, and we went door to door asking for cans for a food drive. Even though my toes felt like they were going to fall off I had fun; that’s all that matted at the time.

Blog It Assignment- An Unlikley Friendship

Tarra & Bella are an odd couple.

Terra , the very big elephant, met Bella, a very small stray dog,and they became inseprable friends. They did everything together untill Bella had surgery. She had to stay at the sanctuary building untill she could walk again. Terra ,bing great frinds with Bella, stayed right outside the building where Bella was. Everyday the people would carry Bella out to see Terra untill she could walk again. This story remided me of Owen and Mzee, the turtle and the hippo who became best buds. I think friendship is an important part of my life. I think if I didn’t have people I could talk to and be with I would be sour and depressed. Its always nice to have someone you can lean on who has your back.
