F Is For The Future


In the future I am going to be....... That's the thing I don't know what I'm going to be in the future. My topic is going to be all about my future. I really don't know about what my future is going to be like and what it holds for me. My points about my topic are what I think the future is going to be like, all about my future and why I chose this topic.

I think that the future is going to be a very cool place and a not so cool place. First of all everything will hover that will be cool. Everything will be perfect in all ways which is cool but floods, pollution and global warming won't be very fun at all. There will be a new Gandhi with new sports players, politicians and new normal people. Everything will go fine until we face global warming. The world won't have any pollution or slavery or anything but we will still have what we left to die so many years before: our earth. As I said before our world will be happy in all human ways but not in environmental ways. Our environment is dieing and we need to fix it in our day or our future people will have to live with it. My real point is that I think that we should take action now so that we don't suffer later. Don't be scared by my post but just think of it as a warning to anyone who reads it that we need to take responsibility before it's to late.

I think that my future will be bright but I don't know which way it will be bright. It could be bright in politics, sports, engineering, inventing or in many other things. Right now I'm thinking that it will be friendly for me. Although you never know I could be on the street or living in a mansion I just don't know. I get scared when I see poor people on the street because it just reminds me of the possibility of me being like that. When ever I wake up in the morning I think about what I should don but then I hear that something is wrong in the world and I think I could help that cause today. Some days I just go down without a thought and I do my normal thing. I haven't really been inspired but I do get close like in the prep speaker for the environment day talking about acts that people did and the environment. Then I hear about people who started major corporations like Right To Play and Free The Children and I think what can I do. Other people don't think about this stuff at least I don't think so but it makes me scared for my future. Overall, I'm absolutely clueless about my future.

I chose this topic because I thought that it would have a lot of insight and I was kind of brains storming and this is what came to my mind. Then future is a big thing for many people whether it is the environments future or their own future. I worry more about my future because when I die I won't have to feel the consequences. That is why I still have to make my decision if I'm going to have a child and make them go through this madness of the tidal waves and stuff. Overall I think that this is a good topic.

The future is a weird thing but don't get scared of it just because other people are make your own choses.

Life Lesson: Remember you control your own destiny so if your are interested or scared of something do something about it.

F Is For Fun


Sports, TV, video games, texting, friends and many more. These things are very fun for me but for other people they may not be. Everybody has fun doing different things. Some examples of these different things are dance class and hockey they are both fun but for different people. My points about my topic are what I find very fun, the different types of fun and why I like fun.

I find a lot of things fun and here are my favourite things to do: hockey, football, video games, texting, baseball, hanging out with friends, mini sticks and many more. These are just a few of the things that I enjoy doing in my free time. Although, it seems like I have a lot of free time to do all these things I sometimes don't. Like when I have homework or I have to go to the store or something else. The most important thing is school which is what my parents remind me of a lot. I know that they aren't wrong so all I do is do my homework and then do all this fun stuff. My most common fun thing that I do is sports because I have them almost every night after school and on weekends. Sometimes I don't feel like these fun things but other times that's all I want to do. The only bad thing about fun is that it can come to an end and when it does the feeling that you get is absolutely devastating. Fun is a wonderful thing.

There are 5 different types of fun these are extremely fun, fake fun, average fun, silly fun and not fun. Here are the definitions of those terms. Fake fun-is when you lie about having fun when you actually aren't. An example is when your dad asks you if you are having fun when you are cutting the lawn and then you say yes. Extremely fun-when you are having all the fun in the world. An example is when you are on a back yard rink. Average fun-is when you are sort of having fun but you sort of aren't. An example is when you are playing out in the snow but you are soaking wet. Not fun-is when you aren't having any fun at all. An example is when you have just slipped on ice and got hit on the head. Silly fun-is when you are doing something stupid but it is really fun. An example is when you get hit by a football in the back of the head but it is sort of funny. Well there is everything you have to learn about fun in a nutshell.

I like fun for 3 reasons: 1.because it is healthy to have fun, 2.because it's a great feeling and 3.because it's better then boring. These are the three reasons why I like fun. I bet you have way different opinions on why you like fun because we are all different people inside and outside. This is the beauty of fun you get to meet people who like the same things as you and find them fun. This is great because then you can hang out with them. The world is full of fun things and I wouldn't be surprised if I haven't found all the things that I find fun yet.

Overall fun is a great thing and I hope that it is never taken out of this world. You should only have fun in moderation because you should try to live a balanced life of school and fun.

LIFE LESSON: EVERYTHING IS GOOD IN MODERATION BUT THE MOST IMPIRTANT THING IS TO LIVE A BALANCED AND GREAT LIFE.

S Is For School

I got my picture from unac.org.

School is a thing that can be described in 4 different ways. It can be described as fun, boring, interesting or neutral. I rate school as neutral because it can be fun some days but it can be boring others. My points about my topic are all about school, why I'm neutral about school and lastly what I do after and before school.

I am neutral about school because like I said there can be some boring days but there can be some very fun days. Some examples of fun days are: spring fling, eagle mania, environmental days, field trips, gym days and sport days. The boring days are Mondays and Tuesdays. I'm very happy that we have sports teams at our school because then you get to spend more time with your friends. I almost forgot friends. Friends can make your day change your day in a second in a good or bad way. A good way is when you see them first thing when you get to school or at recess. A bad way is telling you that there busy this weekend or stealing your snacks. Overall, school is on the border line of boring and fun.

There are about 100 things that I could tell you about school but I'll stick to my top ten. 1. my favourite subject is LA 2. my favourite sport at school is soccer 3. my favourite hot lunch is subs 4. my favourite event at school is eagle mania 5. my favourite place to sit in the room is the far side at the back 6. my favourite day at school is Wednesday. 7. my favourite project to do is a geography one 8. my favourite activity at recess to do is football 9. my favourite friends at school are Jake, Damon and Alex 10. my favourite type of homework is language power. I hope you now know all about my top 10 favourite things about school.

Before school I eat breakfast, watch TV, have a shower, get dressed and check who won the hockey game the night before. What I do after school is homework, TV, video games, dinner, check who's playing in the game tonight and sleep. My schedule doesn't really change from that list but if I do have a sport after school that's one of the things that I will do. Sometimes we also go out out dinner which is nice but we don't do that a lot. My after and before school schedule is working very well and I won't be changing it for a long time. I enjoy these times in the day more than school.

School is a great thing and I wouldn't want to go without it for more than a month. I would like to be a teacher but I'm not old enough.

LIFE LESSON:SCHOOL IS A PRIVELEDGE NOT A RIGHT SO NEVER QUIT SCHOOL.

E Is For The Europeon Airport Shutdown.


2 weeks ago a volcano in Iceland started to erupt. It was covered by a glacier and was very safe. After the volcano erupted the ash caught wind and got carried to to Europe. This shut down the planes by the ash getting in the engine and the engine stopping because of this. Then almost simultaneously all scientists told all the airports in Europe to cancel all flights. It was the biggest mass cancellation the world had ever seen since 911. This is where my story begins.

"7,000,000 people are stranded and stuck in different parts of Europe. The airports are crowded and everyone is on the high alert because they don't know when they are going to be freed." Can you imagine being stuck in an airport for a week only eating and sleeping there. Well this is what happened to many of the seven million people who were stuck in Europe. Two of the biggest airports in the world were shut down for a week. I'm surprised that there weren't riots because of all the confusion. For one whole week about seven million people were in total unknowing of what was going to happen. That's crazy considering that one volcano did all of this. Overall, there were a lot of surprises and misfortunes that occurred when these airports were shut down.

As I said: this is a unbelievable considering that one little volcano started this madness. The first time I heard about it was on CBC on the first day that it started. My first reaction was that the airports would be back to normal right away but boy was I wrong. The news were all over it and even inside the airport where the stranded people were. If I was in this situation I would stay calm and just say to myself "it will be fine". This would be hard for me because of the stress and even the worry. Some people missed weddings and funerals because of this ash cloud and the volcano. What if you missed your daughters wedding and couldn't celebrate with her. This is a crushing blow and a hard one to take for all parents. Just imagine being in this situation.

After the fact the airport got back to normal and 7 million people were freed and returned to their homes. This is what the media said but what really happened was about 6 million people were freed and the get this the other 6 million people were booked on flights that were a week later. So first the airport is shut down, then everyone is stranded, then most people are freed but then the back log of passengers are stranded for another week. Wow, what a huge mess for the world and the people stranded. I think this was a horrible event and if I were in it I would be very frustrated and extremely mad.

You have heard exactly what I have said and now I would like you to leave what you would of felt in your comment. I really thought this was a horrific event and one that nobody wouyld ever like to live again.

Life lesson: Never ever be in a situation like this and always stay calm even if it's hard to be.

C Is For Chicken Wings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


"MMMMMMMMM chicken wings". This is what I say after I hear that we are having chicken wings for lunch, dinner or break fest. We have chicken wings a lot at my house especially when I have friends over. In fact well I'm writing this post I'm eating chicken wings. This is not a lie. Anyway, my points about this fantastic food are why I love wings so much, all about wings and why I'm writing my post on this crazy topic.

I love wings because they are very filling and extremely tasty. They also never get old which is great because then you can eat them a lot. Overall chicken wings are very yummy. The one really important thing to remember is to always clean your hands after eating wings. It's annoying having sauce on your phone and electronics so always do this. As you can see in my picture you can have lots of toppings on your wings. Some of these are little green things like in the picture ext....... Chicken wings are the second most tasty food in the world after pizza.

The first wing was ate in 1964 at the world famous Anchor Bar restaurant. This is not the first time a chicken wing was ate it was the first time a wing was ate in a restaurant. I'm sure before 1964 somebody had ate a chicken's wing but it was not recorded. The first time a chicken wing was on TV was in the 1980's when they made one on a TV show. This brought more popularity to the wing and made it as popular as it is today. A chicken wing is really just a way to get chicken faster then making a real chicken. The chicken wing is also a big advertisement. At the super bowl game in 1993 they called the chicken wing the food of the buffalo bills. So the chicken wing is a huge advertisement as well as a great food.

I wrote my topic on chicken wings because they are my 3rd favourite food. I also wrote my post on this because I thought that it would be very cool to learn about such a tasty food. An example is the first time a chicken wing was on TV, that was a cool fact. I couldn't really think of a topic so I thought.... What is a good topic? Then I thought... What do I like? Then it hit me, chicken wings. At the time I was also eating chicken wings so that was sort of why I chose this topic too. The secret to blogs is to always make your topic something that you like. So that your always interested.



Overall, chicken wings are the best food in the world and definetely the most interesting. I hope you enjoyed my blog. Thank you for reading. :).

Life Lesson: Don't always read a chicken wing by it's cover. What I mean is if a chicken wing box says that a wing is fatty it could still be good. I commented on Thomas's blog about Ice.

S Is For The Sport Of Hockey

Info on picture: Datsyuk absolutely dangling a goalie. With his best move
ever: the toe drag.







"He dangles up the ice and beats the defense man. What a spin move around the last defender. He's on a breakaway he does a toe drag around the goalie. Scores". As you're reading this you are probably wondering what I'm talking about when I say "toe drag", "spin move" and "dangle". You'll learn all about this terms as you read my blog post. I'm writing this blog about Hockey the best sport ever played. My favourite player is Pavel Datsyuk and he plays for my favourite team the Detroit Red Wings. So I hope you enjoy learning new things because you're going to in this blog post.My points about my topic are the terms of hockey, why it's my favourite sport and all the basic equipment you have to wear to play this sport.

Firstly, there are about 1,000,000,000,000 different terms in Hockey. A lot of them mean the same thing but they are all different words. Some are strange and some of them are really cool. There are the 10 most important terms in hockey. The five hole: one of the corners of the net. In between the legs. Dangle: an absolutely fantastic and amazing deke. Celebration of cele for short: a huge cheer after a big save or goal. Deke: a movement of the puck with a stick. Spin move: a move in which you spin around a defender. Toe drag: a deke where you drag the puck back with your stick. Shot: a play where a player uses his stick to hit the puck towards the net. Pass: a play where a player uses his stick to hit the puck to another player. Stick: a piece of wood or composite that is used to pass and shoot. Hit: a play in which a player uses his body to knock into another player to get the puck. (Or to just completely nail him). There are the ten most important terms in hockey. OK, I know what your feeling. 1,000,000,000,000 terms to know, that's crazy. It took me a long time to know them all too.

"Mom just wake me up at exactly 5:15 for practice". This is what you hear on Thursday night before I go to sleep. Every Friday morning I have a 6:30 in the morning practice for hockey. It can get kind've annoying waking up that early every Friday but it can be very fun. Last year I had a car pool with my friends for these practises. We all loved it because it was so much fun. Everyone would sit in the back seat with their full equipment on and then we would drive off to hockey. We were all so tired but that wasn't the end of these hectic mornings. When we got to the rink we would have to tie our skates which was really hard on our hands. Then we would go on the ice and skate for an hour. This was even more tiring then waking up at about 5:30 in the morning. Then we would scramble out of the dressing room and go home. Then I would throw on my school clothes and rush to the car. This is exactly why I love hockey.

Another reason why I love hockey is because I love the mini dressing rooms, the rivalry of playing the Waterloo team, the fun of being with your friends, the thrill of scoring a great goal, running on the ice for the warm up and lastly the fun of the 6:30 in the morning practises. There are a lot more reasons why I like hockey but i don't want to make my post to long. So I gave you the main reasons of why I love hockey.

"Mom can you help me put on my skates" There are about 12 different pieces of equipment you have to wear to play hockey. Here are all of them: shin pads, helmet, mouth guard, shoulder pads, skates, stick, gloves, jock, neck guard, socks to cover your shin pads, hockey pants, elbow pads and a jersey. Hockey has more equipment then almost any sport in the world. The one thing about hockey is that you never know what another player is going to do to you. What I mean is that it's better to wear all this equipment than to be vulnerable to a stick to the head.
The one problem in hockey is that there are so many ways to get hurt. This is the risk that I take when I put on the skates and get on the ice. Equipment is very important so if you ever play always use equipment to be safe.

There are lots of sports out there that you can try to play but just remember the breeze running through your hair and the feeling of scoring a goal before trying another sport.

Life Lesson: don't play a sport just for the sake of playing it, play it because you enjoy and love it. Play it because you want to and because it will be an experience that you will remember for a long time.
