90/100

Last Friday I went up to Mr. Lawler to get my grade checked for the current individual class progress. My plan to get as many standards as possible is actually working. I have as of now 11 completed, 9 passed, and with 5 more being worked on. And I plan to get a good grade. Just CST testin will interfere with everything...Three days of testing and little progress made so far.

Need to publish more on the website and write up Norman's interview. Nothing more for today.

Everything 2.0 Today

Everything is 2.0 this morning. First a major update for my phone XP

but I finally recently finished reading my book for English class. Its called Coach Me Sports: Football and it is basically a book that teaches you the basics of football and gives examples of funny or important moments in football history. The book starts off giving a brief history of the game and its origins. Then goes to explain the two sides of teams and its gameplay. Then it gives a description of all the positions played, including special teams.

The book then focuses on rules and common penalties committed and the role of the officials and referees. After it explains common gameplay strategies and the game summary. Finally it ends with the key differences of professional to college football. At the end of the book are two small and simple quizzes that test one on what they have read.

This is for standard: 2.0 - Reading Comprehension (Focus on informational Materials)

Pt. 1 Accomplished

My older non-brother, Norman comes from a family of football players. His eldest brothers Raul and Eric were both players for Verdugo a couple years back, Eric being from the famous 2006-07 seasons. And Norman always saw them as his inspiration for wanting to play football. The last two years, he's played a linebacker, offensive lineman, was part of the PAT teams, and was about to play this year as a running back. This past football season his jersey number was 65 and he started a couple times. But after last years sad performance and several personal reasons, he has decided he will not be playing football next year...

I interviewed Norman as my 1st project. It wasn't too hard. :D

Now We Know What We Gotta Do

Ok well now that I've been looking through the English standards for this class, I know what projects we need to do and how to accomplish them. We will be doing three major projects that will cover most standards.

First of all, we will be interviewing a football player from the school. We'll ask them about they position, number, etc. Then Present a powerpoint on those players. After each person will create a personal prompt and compose an essay on their subject. That should give every person a lot of credit. More info on that later though...

What A Tiring Weekend

Well this weekend was pretty great. Got to see some of my favorite things ;)


Friday started awkward for me and my brother; Norman isn't a blood brother but were so close that it seems like it. He got in trouble with the bus drivers when trying to get on the late bus. it was funny and he added another story to the records...

But the weekend was great after that. I would stay up late until 2 AM and I would wake up at 7 0r 8. I got a scholarship for an all expenses paid trip to Puerto Rico this summer for my church youth group. I celebrated mommie's day by taking my mom to her favorite restaurant and later taking her to go watch Hot Tub Time Machine and Iron Man 2. There were others tiny things that made this weekend great too...
