Global Issues project

The project has been okay lately... It has certainly had its ups and downs. First i had a major plagerism issue that was confusing, then i fixed that! My paper is a little short from the requirements but it should be fixed soon too! It has been quite challenging writing this paper, although i think it will be one of my best! the topic i have really is good for me. It has taught me a lot about how animals are treated and how we could help.

I have received lots of help from my parents, friends and some from the teachers. I am a little confused on when everything is due and what, but the project part sounds fun! I think im going to make a poster with pictures and ideas to help and stuff like that! It will be a good project for me and i hope to make a good grade on it!

Mardi Gras Break

My mardi gras break was pretty fun! I went to one parade at the beginning of the week, because i couldnt go to any other. I had soccer practice monday-friday and the state championship Saturday in New Orleans. We lost in the championship to Sacred Heart of New Orleans. It pretty much made me sad the rest of the the weekend.

One thing that brought me back up was that we can do it again next year and that was the first time in EHS girls soccer history to ever male it to state! It was a god feeling to be part of that team and to participate with the older girls. I sadly had to do homework sunday. It wasnt really that fun, but on the bright side i didnt have that much! It was a pretty good break except that lost...

Global Issues project/Nervous Conditions

This week i have been trying to get all my research together so i can write my rough draft. I have learned so much from this research paper and hope to keep learning. My topic is animal experimentation. I was so happy when i finished the draft, because now i can see what things i left out and what i need to fill in.

Nervous conditions is a really confusing book. During the first chapter i was so lost and i didn't really understand it. I mean i got that she didn't really like her brother because he is so lazy and self centered to his family, but i wasn't really sure how that is going to fit into the story.

Pets

Pets are a major part in my life. I have grown up with pets my whole life. During my life i have had a hamster, lots of fish, 3 dogs, 2 cats, and all sorts of what ever my brother finds outside. Right now we only have 3 dogs and a cat and a turtle (which is one thing my brother found.) My pets are everything to me. They always cheer me up when i am sad and do all sorts of things with you. They are very special to me and I love them.

My favorite pet we have is defiantly our dogs! We have a Whippet, Mutt, and Labor-doodle. Their name are Pistol, Pixie, and Lucie. Pistol is our oldest one. He is 14 years old and he has been with us since i was born. One of my first words was dog. I fell in love with animals when i was very young. I was actually the reason we got Pistol. Pixie is a mean dog. She was found on the streets by some people and we bought her from them. She has grown better now. She is my dog. She watches over me, she cries when  i leave her, and she loves to follow me around. Lucie was a dog that we got for a program. She has a eye problem so she cant use what her pupose was in the program, but we still love her!
