Basketball

Basketball is my favorite sport. I like to watch NCAA and the NBA. My favorite player in the NBA is Damian Lillard. My favorite college player is Andrew Wiggins. Besides watching the sport, I also enjoy playing it. I have a a basketball goal at my house that I practically play all day on it. Sometimes me and my grandpa or one of my friends will play horse or one on one. Anything that involves Basketball is something I'm all about. During the summer I'm planning on attending basketball camp and practicing during the summer. Hopefully whenever I'm in high school I'll play basketball.

Pride

Pride makes me feel a lot of different emotions. This movie brings out the worst and the best out of me. At some points, I feel really sad or this movie makes me feel very happy. The movie also shows the problems of racism back in the 1970's. There was lots of use of racism and slurs by the white people towards the black people back then. At the end of the movie showed no matter how much they were frowned upon, they showed with enough heart you can overcome any obstacle. Andre gave up the anchor position to give Reggie a chance to show that he could do it. After that they greeted coach Ellis with the first place trophy. The ending made me feel really happy because through all their hard work and training they had finally beaten Mainline Academy. I thought it was a very uplifting story about how no matter the odds, or how other people act, with enough heart you can overcome anything.

What Is The Worst Thing A Parent Can Do To Their Child?

The worst thing a parent can do to their child is to abandon them. Abandoning a child is probably one of the worst forms of abuse that can affect a child. Not knowing who your real parents are can hurt any child. Also your parents could just be bad people and you HAVE to be taken away from them. This still affects them greatly only being able to see your biological parent for visits every once in a while is not good for the child. Having a parent give up their children or making poor decisions and having their children taken away can hurt them. I don't think some parents think about how much this affects the child.

Gum

Gum is basically currency. In our school if you have the right amount of gum you can get anything you want. Like this morning for example, I gave Jacob one dollar for two pieces of Dr.Pepper gum. But if you have gum, you will be bombarded with people begging for gum with either the excuse of "I thought we were friends" or "C'mon I gave you some yesterday." Most of the time this won't work usually you will give something to get gum or someone will give it to you. It's just best not to ask sometimes. I'm just glad I have a friend who comes to school with a pack on him everyday or else I would be just another beggar.

Rumors

Rumors can affect people in major ways. Some rumors can brighten up your day, but some can completely destroy someones reputation. Rumors have caused many problems for people such as low self esteem, depression, and suicide. I know some rumors that float around this school are harmless and are just funny, but I know some that could really hurt some people. I don't spread rumors, I simply observe and see what happens. Sometimes I feel I should step in and help get rid of a nasty rumor, but I also feel very tempted to spread one. I will admit I have spread rumors, but I know when to stop.

QR Codes Are A Thing...

I had a lot of fun with the QR codes. They were a little frustrating trying to get all of the m to the right size and made sure they all worked, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. Jordan, Willie, and I had a lot of fun doing this project. We did ours about Domino's Pizza. By scanning a simple QR code you could play the game dominoes,  you could call Domino's, you could even see what Domino's are near you. With a simple scan we made very easy for someone to order pizza, or learn about it.
