everest

I chose these pictures becasue they are basically what the story is about.
Its also about achieving something even though people say you wont be able to.
Theres alot of mountains because thats where most of the book takes place. There is also smily faces and hope signs because Erik didnt give up when he went blind, he kept going and climbed one of the tallest mountains. There is also a little baby girl symbol in the collage because Erik and his wife have a baby girl.

spiders vs. wasp

I really wouldn't want to study either one of these species. They are just gross! The tarantula is all like big creepy crawly and everything, and the wasp just kind of creep me out a bit. But, that is just me.

Erik Weihenmayer

I would have to say that he is an inspiration because hes a blind person who climbed mount Everest. I could never do something like that mainly because I don't like being up high.

my didgital footprint

If I looked at my digital footprint I don't think I would find anything negative. My digital foot print would actually be quite small because I'm never really on the Internet anymore.If I am on the Internet its mostly just school related stuff or looking at clothes online before I go to the stores so I don't have to spend so much time at the mall. I'm not exactly sure when you should start using your real name and picture. I guess you could start out with your real name right off the bat if you wanted to. What I put on profiles, when I register at a website is normally just my nickname and what my interest are that's about it.

MY OWN HOLIDAY

I think it would be pretty awesome if for like just 2 weeks or so we had no school for no reason at all. It would be like a very shortened summer vacation which I would love. I like school just not all the home work that goes with it so like mostly just hanging with my friends.

vacation spot

If I could pick any place in the world to go on a vacations i would probably have to say Atlantis in the Bahamas or go to California. I love going to the beach and seeing new places and that's exactly what both of them are. I have never left the United States so going to the Bahamas would be pretty sweet. I googled pictures of the Bahamas and it looks so pretty there at the Atlantis resort. I'm sure the rest of it is pretty too though. Going to the Bahamas would be very expensive though so California is my back up vacations spot to go to. I would probably go to Malibu or along some beach with the view of the ocean because i always wanted to live by the ocean. Another thing I always wanted to do was ride horses along the beach just as the sun was setting. I'm pretty sure i could do that at either spot I went to so its all good. :)

favorite va-cay

Well I don't just have one vacation that is my favorite that Ive been on, there's quite a few. One of them is when i went to Mississippi in 2007 for the NBHA Youth World Championships. I had most of my family and horse friends down there with me so we had a blast. The water park we went to was pretty fun too, good thing we went because it closed the next year. :( There was this other time when my family and I went to Noah's Ark water park in Wisconsin Dells. That was a fun time, my favorite ride was a tie between the Black Anaconda and the Flash Flood. This other time when I went to Minnesota to visit my cousin we went to this amusement park, that was like the first time I ever really road a roller coaster. I had such a blast there i love roller coasters now. I just love the speed and thrill that they have and all the twist and turns and everything.

Climate Changes

The climate change affects everybody even if they don't realise it. It can affect there personality when its to cold or to hot out. It cost money for climate change because it brings more natural disasters that are more severer then they've ever been. Its has sea levels rising, large scale food shortage, and even global economic depressions like nobody has even seen before. The climate change isn't hurting just people but animals too, like massive species extinctions. We can change it though. We could use car pool for example or not having electronics plugged in if we aren't using them. Not use the dishwasher unless its completely full, wash clothes in cold water instead of hot water. There is many other things we can do too. As part of the student blogging challenge, I wrote a post for BAD 2009 on the topic of climate change

My animals!

these aren't my pets but they are the type of pets I have

HORSES!!!

Ive been around horses all my life. I was on a news channel when i was about six years old because of my horses. My favorite thing to do is compete in barrel racing or rodeo. I have been competing by myself in barrel racing since i was about 4 years old and I'm still going!! Its just a blast, I love the speed and excitement it takes in barrel racing. Its fun meeting new people at the shows, if I didn't talk to new people my only friend would be my sister and that is no fun!! No offence to my sister or anything ha ha. My dream is to go to the N.F.R. and become famous in the horse industry. I would like to go to some high school rodeos and start up rodeos again but its a lot of money! I think the farthest Ive gone so far with my horses was in 2007 when i went down to Mississippi for the N.B.H.A youth world championship. I got to admit it was really hot down there but I had a blast!! I had almost all my horse friends down there competing with me. On the days we weren't competing we were out swimming or looking at the cool booths they had around at the show grounds. I really hope i can qualify for the N.B.H.A. open world championships and go there before i graduate high school so i got 2 years left. I am really thankful that i have the most amazing horses to compete on . They may not always win but its just fun to run them. I really like how they trust me so much if they didn't trust me i wouldn't be able to trust them and i wouldn't be where i am today!

interesting

I visited five different blogs from different countries.
I thought it was quite interesting learning about what they do.
They aren't totally different from what we are as i thought.
There was a handful of people from Venezuela that are interested in engineering.
I think I should take a class on engineering on cars so that way if I have any difficulties while I'm on the road I can figure it out and not have to pay somebody to fix my truck for me.
Its pretty cool learning about different countries !

Home coming

Home coming is normally pretty fun.
I never really end up watching the game I just hang and chat with friends. Every now and again I will watch the game and that's because that's normally when we get a touch down or something. (ha ha)
If I can go this year I no it will be fun .
I'm not going to the home coming dance though, because that day is already booked for me and trying to fit the dance in as well would be quite difficult!!

english class

This year is English is way more different then it was last year!!!!
Last year we did a lot of reading in books and making presentations, where
this year we are like always on the computer figuring out new things. Its pretty cool! This year i hope is (like last year grade wise) where i pass my classes or even do better this year..
For some reason i have a feeling that this is going to be a fun year!!

my summer

This year summer went by so FAST it was crazy!!!
I went to tons of barrel races which I'm doing good at this year with me new horse .!
