Tell me about your weekend. Give me a story, something funny that happened, an experiencing you had, the way you felt, etc. Include photos!

This weekend I didn't that much. On Friday I babysat two little boys for 7 hours. Then on Saturday I got my nails done and then me and my friend JoJo went to the Amc movie theater and saw the movie Big Hero 6. It was actually really funny and i enjoyed it a lot. Its is a cartoon that is about this really smart 13-year-old and he is trying to get into the same college that his brother goes to but then his brother dies and it is really sad but then he puts his brothers invention to good use and it is really funny. Then on Sunday me and my friend Courtney went shopping for almost the whole day and got a lot of clothes and bathing suits and just a whole bunch of stuff for summer time and I am really excited for summer.

If school had he perfect curriculum, then every student would graduate high school and feel like they could go into the real world and do fine. Instead we fear growing up everyday and never feel ready for the real world. Instead f taking required classes students would be able to choose what they wanted to study, that was they would know by the time they graduate what they enjoy and what thy hate. That way you can go to collage and be ready to get to know everything you nee to about your chosen profession. That way students wouldn't waste so much time and money on going to collage. Studying would be the same and class would be the same because you are still studying hard material.

Tell me what you believe this cartoon is trying to say. Do you agree or disagree with this idea? Try and look at this from two different perspectives. What is your perspective? What would be an adult/teacher's perspective?

I think that this cartoon is trying to say that other countries are much stricter with there education then America is. I do agree to this to an extent. I believe that Americans are not forced to learn under as harsh environments as some other countries. However, I do not believe that it effects how much we learn or how smart we are like the cartoon implies. As you can clearly see in the picture the students from the other countries are looking at the student from America with envy of the freedoms that they have. Another way to look at this could be that the two students are looking at the American student with astonishment  because that could be seen as disrespect from their country. I think that the Adults perspective would be that the students are astonished about the disrespect because all adults think that kids need to be more respectful.

Think about the quote above. What does this mean to you? How could this apply to your life? How could this apply to your school work? I would love to give you less work in class if it meant you were going to focus harder on the work. Do you think you would get more out of it? Would that work for you? Why or why not?

It does not mean much to me. If I had more or less work I would still use the same amount of focus. It really doesn't make sense because if I did less work it wouldn't benefit me at all. For example if I came in with an assignment half way done but told my teacher that I was really focused on the half that I did how would that be in any way good for me. The teacher would probably reply with a simple "well you should have finished" or a "well maybe next time you will focus on completing the assignment" and then I would get marked off even though I focused really hard, it doesn't mater.So if you do less work bu are really focused it does not even matter because you didn't get all your work done. So, in conclusion the saying "do less with more focus" does not even apply in the real world because all that maters in the real world are results. Focusing does not really help anyone.

Tell me all about your weekend! I sure hope you have photos to share

This weekend was pretty uneventful. On Friday I babysat a little girl and a little boy for 6 hours and it was pretty fun because they were leaving for Hawaii the next day so all we really did was pack and get everything ready for their trip. On Saturday I volunteered at the Girl Scouts association because I needed service hours. After that m friends and I went to the Arboretum for around an hour because it closes at 5 and I volunteered from 1-4. On Sunday I went to crown center and walked around since it was so nice out all day on Sunday. I also FaceTimed my sister on Sunday for a while.

Tell me about some interesting things you have learned about your global issue so far. What have you learned that you didn't know before? Include a couple images from the internet if possible. (Make sure to cite images that are not your own.)

I have learned some very interesting stats. For example only 1% of Americas population has Autism. and only about 20% of that 1% have dependency issues. and another 20% of that 1% are considered geniuses. I also learned the symptoms to look for include not speaking or wanting to interact with other children ad that these symptoms start around age 3-4. These are all facts that I did not know before. I also did not know that there were so many Autism foundations out there to help families with their children who have autism.

You haven't had a chance to tell me about your Sweetheart weekend yet - tell me about it now! Include photos if you have them. Even if you just laid around on the couch and watched Netflix, tell me all about it.

Sweetheart weekend I went to skate city. I went with a group of my friends First we went out to dinner at Talk of the Town and then got a lot of glow sticks and stuff to go to skate city. When we got there it was a lot of fun. I am not a very good skater myself, but some of my friends are very good. There was also a group of skaters that go there every weekend and have like dance routines and they were all skating in sync, it was really funny. I also went to Petland that weekend and played with two different puppies. The first one we played with was a little girl German Sheppard and she was so cute and was chewing on my shoe non-stop and i thought it was so cute but my friend Katie thought it was annoying and she was afraid of the little baby puppy. The next dog we took out was a tiny little beagle and it was so cute and my friend Katie actually liked that dog. So she had a lot of fun with that dog.

What is email? When do you use email in your own personal life? List reasons and ways that people use email. What do you know about "email etiquette"? EXPLAIN.

E-mail is electronic mail. It is like sending a letter except it is on a computer or smart phone and gets there a lot faster than it would if you were to send it through mail. I usually only use e-mail if i have to talk to a teacher while I'm at home or something. I also use e-mail sometimes when i write a document in word and have to print it off at school or have to work on it at home. My sister uses e-mail when she is in class and can't text but can have her computer out. My mom and dad use e-mail all the time when they are working or need to talk to someone. As for e-mail etiquette I think you should always sign your e-mail and make sure their are no spelling errors.
