The Apprentice Week One
                                                                                                                           
 The apprentice is a five week activity that I am currently doing in school right now. There are four teams in my english class, Apex, Excel, Synergy and Hydra. I'm on team Apex. Each group must complete each task given to us and present it to C.E.O Mr.Poole and C.E.O Ms. Spiezio. Each team's goal is to get hired by Spoole Industries and become the next apprentice. Mr. Poole and Ms. Spiezio will determine who will become the next apprentice by each team earning as many coins (which will turn into points) as they can by working nicely together and having the best presentation when it comes time for the board room meetings.

 This week each group had to come up with a logo and a jingle along with everyone making a fake resume and cover letter. My groups jingle was say bye to software mythology (flush, flush) say hi to our new technology
Apex 732-369-3246. (That was a fake phone number) Today we had our first board room meeting and my group didn't get alot of practice, so I was nervous, really nervous. Before we begun we had to decide how would go first so, Mr. Poole made cards with either a 1, 2, 3 or 4 on it. Each group's project manager went up one at a time to pick a card. My groups project manager went first I kept hoping in my mind that we weren't going to go first but guess what, we went first. We didn't do bad in fact, none of the groups did but I was sure that Excel was going to win and I was right. I just know that they are going to be the next apprentice because they are all friends, they all do their work and they rarely fight. I won't complain though because they all are my friends and they deserve it. Congrats Excel! More to come next week. (P.S. the picture is our logo.)
 

             A Very Big Surprise     

   Have you ever been clue less about something important like going to work or going to school, well that happened to me. Sometimes I can be so clue less that there can be a blizzard going on at that very moment and I might not even notice because I'm so focused on the time. Things like what I'm about to tell you about happens to me alot especially during the winter, so don't be surprised.
  So not long ago it snowed at nite  pretty hard but, since I was asleep and I don't watch the news that often I didn't know. My school starts at 8:30 but I have to get ready by 7:40 because I take the school bus to school. Anyway  I dreadfully wake up and get out of bed still feeling sleepy. I don't have a alarm clock so I usually just check my phone. So I do that and when I look at the time I'm suddenly wide awake. It's 7:57 A.M.! I was so surprised at the time because one nobody else was awake and two my mom always has her alarm clock set for 7:00 A.M.. I dropped my phone on my bed as I sprinted into my mom's room."Mom mom wake up it's 7:57!"
"Go back to bed." my mom mumbled sleepily and annoyed.
"But It's way past 7:00, I have to go to school!" I yelled worried.
"There is no school today. Didn't you see all the snow on the road," my loving mom said this time angrily.
I go back to my room shocked at words that came out of my mothers mouth.I look out the window and ask myself, " How can I not notice all that snow outside," I ask myself as I walk toward my soft comfortable bed. Oh well I guess I might as well enjoy my extra day of from school. Yes! :)



 

                                              A New Ending

 If you ever have read the book Tuck Everlasting you already know how it ends but, if you haven't  you sorry but I don't want to spoil the ending. In my opinion the ending was okay but, it was a sad so I did not enjoy it to much. Anyway here is my ending.

       "Come here you," said the constable, "it's time for the gallows." Mae was scared, "what if they don't come in time? What if the secret comes out?" They walked slowly outside and to the deathly gallows. "Wait here and don't move, I got my eyes on you." said the constable sternly. Mae listened. Soon enough the constable came back with a rope in his hand. Mae wacthed  the constable as he secured the rope on a giant upside down L.Just as he was finishing up she saw Tuck, Miles,Jesse and Winnie running towards them."I knew they would come" Mae said in her head. Now instead of focusing on the constable she was focused on Tuck, Miles,Jesse and Winnie.She wacthed as Tuck, Miles and Jesse hid in between two buildings not far from Mae. "You know what to do?" asked Tuck.

"Of course," said Winnie.

"Good," said Miles and Jesse.

Winnie started to run towards Mae and the constable."Help, help, please help,"cried Winnie as she got close to the constable."Please help me, my father fell into a well and I can't get him out!"

"Calm down," said the constable a little bit annoyed.

"How can I calm down if my father is stuck in a well!"exclaimed Winnie.

"OK take me to him."

Winnie took his hand and ran towards the nearest well. Tuck,Miles and Jesse all came out from in between the buildings and ran as fast as they could to Mae."Ma"yelled Jesse "you're all right!"

"Of course I am, now let's go before they come back."

"But what about Winnie?" asked Jesse.

"She'll be ok.,I'm sure the constable will bring her back home once he sees that there is nobody down the well." said Tuck assuring.

Even though Tuck said she'll be alright, Jesse was still worried so the next morning he went to her house to find her in her front yard."Jesse! What are you doing hear?"

"I couldn't leave without saying good bye."said Jesse giving her a bottle of water."Drink this water when your seventeen and we can be together forever."

"How will I find you again?"

"We're all coming back hear in seven years to get you, you know...if you want to.Sorry it's time for me to go."

"Goodbye Jesse." said Winnie sadly.

"I'll never stop thinking about you,never."said Jesse as he disappeared into the wood.

Seven years later. "Alright here goes nothing" said Winnie as she opened the bottle of water from Jesse.Gulp. Winnie stared at the empty bottle. "I told you we would come back for you." said a familiar voice. Winnie looked up."Jesse!" said Winnie excitedly unlocking the gate and running to him and the rest of the Tucks. "I can't believe you came back!"

"I still have to show you the Eiffel tower don"t I?" said Jesse.

"How can I forget." said Winnie as they set of to see the world.
Note: The gallows is were some prisoners went to die by force. The prisoner would be hung until they were dead.
                        My Opinion Of The Book
 If I were to rate this book on a scale of 0  to 5  I would give this book a 4.8. The book was fantastic and I really mean that but, the ending was sad so I did not enjoy that part to much. I would still recommend this book to you, especially if you like a little bit of love, a secret and a twist. If you like action you might still enjoy this book but, you might also not. It's kind of hard to tell. I hope you give this fantastic book a chance and don't forget to leave a comment!

                                 My New Year's Resolution

      

     Every year almost everybody makes a New Year's resolution and says their going to do it. From past experience that is a bunch of lies. I think the reason for that is that people want to do the things on their list, but never get to do it because they forget what they wanted to do. I can help you with that if that is what your like. First write your goals on a piece of paper. Next place it somewhere were you'll see it everyday.(Ex: your refrigerator, closet, next to TV, etc.) I know that it can be hard to make a New Year's resolution, so here is my resolution to give you ideas. 

•     Become a yellow high or green belt. I would like to accomplish this because I would like to be a black belt but that is going to take years and lots of practice and I mean alot, so instead of trying to go for it right away I am going to take it little by little by little.
•     Make my blog post better so I can get 10 or more followers. This is one thing I want to accomplish because I would like to get better at my writing and if I get more followers I know that my blog post are getting better.
•     Make a song because if I make a song that sounds good and I can play it (on my alto sax), I might be able to have a solo at a concert in school.                                                                                                                                                                  
•     Not fail any classes because if I do i'm in really BIG trouble, and if I get a really good average, I might get into honors class or if anything level 1. ( level 1 is good)
•    Try somthing new. I would like to do this because i'm always eating the same food and doing the same things and that gets boring, so now i'll try something and I might like it so I can do it over and over.(Or eat it over and over.)

       I hope I helped you make a new years resolution and helped you stay to it. Tell me if my blog helped you or not and if it didn't tell me how I can make it better.                                                                                                  
          


    

            When People Talk To Much

When has talking been a hobby?                                                                                                                                                                                                  Some times I just wonder what is going through peoples head when all their doing is blah blah blah blah!  Then you try to say something and all you get out is.... That's like my brother. Everyday he would come home from school and be like blah blah blah. Do you know what that is to me boring!  I don't know how anybody could stand anyone who does that all day. I know I can't. 

 These days we have so much more technology and so many jobs open to the public compared to back then, so I don't get how do people have so much time to talk 24/7. It's like don't you have someplace to be?I don't know how can someone has so much time to be flaping their gums like that.I know I can't in between school homwork and everything else I have to do, I think that is just amazing.                                                                                                                                                                                                   

 I was in  my room the other day doing homework and I had alot. It was quite for a while, but when my brother came home from school it was like the school cafeteria at lunch. I hoped that he has alot of homework so I can do my homework, but he had the complete opposite. The first thing he did was come to my room and started talking like he was a talking machine. Sometimes I would try to listen for a little while but, after he starts theirs no stopping him. "I...I have homework," I try to get through his head. I say that several times but not one time did he stop talking. Finally I lose it and I yell "Is there a mute button for you!?" He stopped for a moment and said "No," and kept going. I defiantly had it with the non-stop blah blah blahing of stuff that I don't care about so I yelled "SHUT UP" closed the door and locked it so he would go away. Eventually he left and I got to finish my homework in peace and quite. Of course that didn't last very long.         

                                           Baby Jesus

If you have read my last post you might have wondered who is Jesus and why did I mention him.You might not all know the story of Jesus and what happened when he was born either. That is why I am writing this post.

  It all started when a angel came down from heaven to tell Mary that she is going to have God's baby and that she shall name him Jesus.  " I saw a angel and the angel told me I'm going to have God's baby." Mary would say to several people but, most did not believe her. Even Joseph (Mary's boyfriend) didn't believe her. Word got around that Mary was going to have the son of God and three kings sent out to go see her and possibly Jesus. Mary and Joseph both went from town to town until they found a place to stay in for a while. What they found was a barn filled with hay and animals.After it was time and Jesus was born the three kings came and gave offerings to Jesus because they believed that Jesus was the son of God. Later went the years and Jesus grew up to be a savior.You may or may not believe that story but, alot believe that it is true. (The man is Jesus and the women is Mary.)
