Year End Blog

My most enjoyable English 20-1 project that I did this year was the film presentation. This film presentation was pretty enjoyable because I and Connor could both use a movie that we both watched and enjoyed, unlike usual English projects, it is mandatory to watch a movie given by the teacher and this is why it was really enjoyable, the choices were endless and using a movie that you actually like is really fun. This project was pretty appealing because every student could deliver its own opinion during the many presentations so that they could mark them for nominations. This project was really interesting because we could see every group of student’s different opinions of which movie deserved to be the best movie of all time. Also, the other enjoyable thing about this movie presentation was that the winners of the nominations got awards, because usual projects students only get rewarded with marks. My least favorite thing from this whole year was the story “The Road” written by Cormac McCarthy. This story was pretty boring because the whole book was different from other regular and the story characters were pretty annoying. The story line was pretty difficult to understand because there were so many things happening at all times and the story was also depressing. What I really hated about this book was how the story line, the characters and details were really dull. Any other author could make the story better. The thing that I wouldn’t mind doing again but I would change it slightly would be the movie presentation. The reason why I enjoyed making that presentation was because we chose the movie that we wanted which means it was pretty entertaining. The thing I would change about this project would be how we could watch the movies presented in the last three days of the year and all group that got nominated would get an award but as valuable as the ones who actually won the nominations.

Springbreak 2015

This year in spring break, i went to Hawaii for the first time of my life. I stayed at Kona in Big Island for 10 days. When I first stepped out of the airplane, my opinion about the landscape was negative because the whole ground and land on the area was filled magma, so everything was black, also the air was extremely humid so I had to get used to it for a couple of hours. I wasn't happy until I saw the condo were I stayed at. It had pretty much two golf courses and we could walk to beach if we wanted to. Speaking of beaches, me and my family visited different beaches every day. Some of them were public, but others were on private hotels and we needed to get passes to be allowed to go on them. Mexico is nothing compared to Hawaii because in Hawaii, you can visit the whole island and being able to drive through without seeing cops with machine guns and assault rifles. I played an 18 holes round of golf one day and it was magnificent. The course was right next to the beach and had the view of the Big Island mountains. On one of the private beaches I saw a whale at the shore line. There was one beach that was called aquarium beach because it was literally like an aquarium when you would go snorkeling in there. On that same beach I also saw two turtles laying down on the ground.  We were supposed to go see lava during night one time but they didn't allow people with heart problems in it because of the smoke that was produced from the lava. We actually visited some falls and the whole Island in car so most of the land was actually tropical. If I could describe Hawaii in two words, it would be freedom and safety.

New Year's Resolution

                Every December the 31^st people tell me about New Year’s resolutions and are trying to come up with one. A New Year’s resolution is something that you hope/ wish that is going to happen. It could be about improving some skills you have, wishing everyone a healthy year… Usually my resolutions are about improving some of my skills, for example, somebody could ask me “What’s your New Year’s resolution?” and I respond by saying I could work hard for the year passing by. Usually it is about either improving my golf swing or improving my term marks in school. Personally, I do not believe in New Year’s resolution because I usually tend to forget, or that they never last. I have ever heard someone talk to me about how successful their resolution were. When people eventually ask me about my New Year’s resolution, it is at 12:01 in the night of December 31^st, how am I supposed to decide that fast what my resolution for New Year’s would be? I just have brain farts when I am right in front someone and they ask me the question, I only say “get better marks I guess”. For the resolutions, every year I tend to forget them at either, the end or the middle of the year, thus, this why I do not believe in the resolutions. But other than not believing in resolution I just believe that the sports teams that I supports might win at least one trophy, for example Arsenal F.C. to win the Premier League, the Roughnecks winning the NLL title, Patriots winning the Super Bowl etc… In conclusion, people and New Year’s Resolution either believe them and work the whole following year to complete them or they just ignore the new years and live their life normally.
