Holocaust

I think this short video shows some of the horrible thing that happened in the past. What happened to the Jewish people was absolutely terrible. I can not understand how they can treat people like that, as if they were not even people. I think the stories of survivors of concentration camps are difficult stories that need to be told. The world needs to know the horrors that people went through during the holocaust. The holocaust is an important part of world history that all people should be educated on. It is hard to believe that something so horrendous happened in the last century, but it is also hard to believe that some people do not believe it happened. Everyone should learn about what happened because if people do not know history it is bound to repeat itself, and the holocaust is one thing that should never be relived.

Gossip

I think this is a good analogy for gossip. It really show what gossip can do, and how awful it is. I think it shows how once something is said it really can not be taken back. We must always choose our words carefully because we may regret them later. Gossip is the kind of thing that many people will regret later in life. Once something is said about someone it can not be unsaid, and their reputation can not be mended so easily. Gossip can easily ruin someone's reputation and trust in the person who gossips. Trust and a person's reputation will not be easy to get back no matter how hard a person may try.

Genome project

For my genre of music I chose doo-wop. Doo-wop is usually associated with the fifties. I chose this genre because the 1950's is one of my favorite decades. The doo-wop music is very harmonious with a lot of melodies. I tried to choose songs that really showed the true doo-wop. The songs I chose showed the main traits of doo-wop, and showed them well. The songs had the harmonious voices and the senseless lyrics so often associated with doo-wop. I tried to pick songs that embodies doo-wop but were still different, so I tried to choose some fast and slower songs. Overall, I really enjoyed the project and learned a lot about a genre of music that I did not really know much about but I enjoyed listening to it.

Spring Break

Overall my spring was pretty good. I didn't go anywhere but it was still fun at home. I was in our church's Passion play, it actually turned out much better than anyone expected it to. One of my favorite things about break is the chance to relax, so that's what I did. I spent time with some friends. We played games like Skip Bo and Phase Ten, watched movies, and we drank koolaid. My friends and I tried to make a domino shape, but it didn't work because it fell to many times and we lost patience. I had a lot of fun on spring break but I wish it had been a little warmer because it was rather chilly.

inspirational picture

I think this in very inspirational picture. In my opinion it shows a beautiful part of the world. The picture looks so peaceful and perfect that it shows there is good in the world. At times when the world seems so cruel I would like to look at a picture like this because it shows the world has good in it. It seemed to be such a peaceful picture that it has an instantly calming effect. This is an inspirational picture to me because it shows the world at its best. In my opinion a sunset is one of the most beautiful things to see and this sunset is one of the best.

Lent

For lent this year I decided to do extra things in my church, so I am helping with our parish' Passion play. It is a lot of fun, but it involves a lot of practice time. Most of the play is based off certain songs so the timing of everything must be perfect. I am really enjoying being in the play with other teenagers from my parish. We will perform the play on Palm Sunday at put church, it should be a lot of fun. I think participating in our Passion play is a great way to celebrate the Lenten season.

Future Career

When I grow up I want to be a teacher. I would like to be a math teacher at a high school one day. I know... weird, but I have always loved math. Math has always been my favorite subject and then one day I decided that when I grow up I want to be a math teacher. I had some great teachers in the past who loved the subject they taught and were enthusiastic about it. The enthusiasm they showed made me want to be a teacher later in life. They inspired want to become a teacher and show the enthusiasm they had when teaching.
