Our last JV game...

Tonight, January 30, was sadly our last JV game together. Some of us will stay and go to varsity, but most of us wont. We have gone through so much trouble and many problems together but it was defiantly worth it! I love the JV team and wish that the season wasn't over. Our game wasn't the best, but we had so much fun during and after the game, and nothing happened to us while we were coming home!!

The game we sadly lost 2-0 but we still tried our hardest. I have grown so much closer to the players on JV and i hope to keep those relationships. I love the JV team and i cant wait till next year to play again with y'all! Y'all are amazing and the best!

Global Issues project

The Global Issues project has had its ups and downs with me. First my topic was really considered world wide, so i had to change it. Then the first day we were in the lab i found my new topic. It is Animal Experimentation. I was very happy with it. It was something that there were a lot of arguments on and it is something that i really love, animals.

I loved being able to work in the labs because I get a lot done, but we can have our distractions (seniors...). I got more work done in the labs than at my house. I don't really have a lot of time at home. I was able to start on my draft, do my outline, and a lot of my note cards. I also had a lot of help with all of my friends. I think that if the seniors wouldn't have been their I could have gotten a lot more done.

Youth Group

Youth Group is something I do to have fun and meet new people. I have had so much fun and my past youth groups and I have met so many people. It has also brought me so much closer to God. Youth group is very inviting to any one! I think every one should join one. I have brought friends to my youth groups before and they love it! I try to invite them more often but sometimes I don't have time for it.

It usually starts off with socializing and playing video games, pool, and just hanging out. Then we will go eat some food that somebody prepared for us. We eat and then while everyone else is finishing we socialize some more! It is so much fun especially because everyone is so nice and inviting. We will then play a few games as a group. finally we will have worship time. Which is where we sing a few songs and have a lesson about God. It is so much fun and I love it so much!

Reading Response

I started reading In Cold Blood by Truman Capote.  It is a book about a murder of a family in a small town in Kansas. The book begins by describing the setting of a very quaint and quiet town.  The family is described as very hard working and it seems like the family and the town are almost perfect but I know that their lives are about to come to an end.  It is a true crime story and I am excited to read about it.

In Cold Blood was one of my Mom's favorite books, my brother loved it and so did my grandfather who was alive at the time of the killings.  My grandfather remembers the murders taking place and the way the USA felt when it happened.  I hope I enjoy it as much as everyone else in my family.

Country Music

Music is a very important detail in my life. i love music so much! I especially love country music. i know some people don't really like country, but i'm a huge fan. Every time I listen to it, it always makes my so happy, even when I am sad. it always has a special meaning to it and can tell a message. I listen to music when 'm cleaning my room, doing my homework (even though I'm not really supposed to) and any other time I can. I am always in a music mode. 

There are so many types of music and I love all of them, but country is my favorite. That is always the first station I turn to when I listen to the radio. My brothers like it, but they would rather listen to like pop, rock, and all that kind of stuff. My mom doesn't like those songs either, she loves country and her old music.  I'm not really sure what got me really into country, but now I cant seem to stop listening to it. It always makes me feel good. I actually have been listening to country while writing this whole blog!

A year has already past and its that time to be making resolutions again.  have always made one but soon forgot about it or forget what the resolution was. I have a terrible memory! this year though, my main resolution is to make better grades in all my classes but especially English. I have not always been the strongest writer or reader, but this time I will put more effort into making better grades in that class. 

I also have one more goal for this season, and that goal is to win the state championship in soccer. I think we have a very good chance in winning it. Our only real competition is U-high, Newman, and Runnels. Our record this season has been very good and we have only lost twice. The JV team is also doing very well too. I think that if we all put in the work that is needed we will win state. I'm very excited to be on the team and good job guys!
