3O Goal , #17 Tell Your Story

There are a couple moments of my life that I am most proud of.  The impact on my life that I'm most proud of is my cheerleading career.  I went to Orlando, Florida for the National Competition for five consecutive years.  My first year I competed in Florida my team came in fourth place.  The following year I came in second.  In 2007 I came in 1st place and won the Spirit Award.  That same year was the 20th annual National Competition held in Florida.  We were awarded with plaques, ribbons, and even a beautiful leather jacket.  The following two years I came in third place.

In my room I have every award I've won from cheerleading, so the shelves are pretty cluttered!

Cheerleading taught me that success comes with hard work.  I have experienced how great success has felt.  That's why I now coach younger girls so that one day maybe they can feel what I've felt.

3O Goals Goal #1 , Diary

Today I woke up a half hour late because I fell asleep on my cell phone. I got ready for school, but forgot my cell phone at home.  I called my mom on the bus and asked her to bring it.  At around 8 I picked up my cell phone.  During gym class, my second period, we had to run a mile.  I walked and did not finish the mile.  In geometry I had a quiz.  Web 2.O is my fourth period class so there's nothing more to write about..

Osama Bin Laden's Dead!

Most people would grieve over a loss but America is celebrating.  The man responsible for our countries pain inflicting terrorist attack, 9-11, was killed on May 1, 2011.  Personally, I think he deserved to die considering he took the lives of so many loved Americans. 

During 9-11 I was in kindergarten.  I don't remember anything about it, but my mom does.  She claims her friend called her while she was in the shower and told her to turn on the news.  I don't know anyone that was killed but citizens of my town have.

I find it annoying that he was living in luxury for ten years.  It surprises me that it took us 10 years to find him.  It also shocks me that no one killed him during the ten years.

It also shocks me to see soooo many people around the world celebrating his death.  Some are worried that his people are going to retaliate. There are many different stories about how he died.

Facebook Distractions

I agree that Facebook and other social sites may be a problem next year with the iPads but I think the school district should use them in classrooms etc.  Most students would be distracted but I think teachers should find out what is distracting them about that website and use it in class.  If its distracting them from something in class its obviously interesting to them.

Angry Birds

Yesterday while on the iPad I played Angry Birds.  I only made it to the first couple levels after a while.  Personally I didn't like the game.  I ended up getting bored with it and frustrated.

Different Ways Teenagers Use Social Media

My friends and I don't really use social media for idea sharing.  We usually use it to socialize or ask each other for homework.  The only real "ideas" we share are those from GoogleDocs projects which have their own rubric that we need to follow. 

I'm not using social media to share my ideas about hobbies and my passions.

Busta Rhymes

Busta Rhymes real name is Trevor Smith Jr. and was born on May 20, 1972 in Brooklyn New York.  He has a Jamaican heritage.  He and his family moved to Long Island New York when he was 12. 

He was one of a foursome and called themselves "Leaders of the New School". They signed a deal with Elektra Records when Busta was only 17 years old.

On December 27, 1998 he was arrested for having a loaded and unregistered gun in his car.  His manager who was also in the car at the time had marijuana.  He has a son T'ziah who was born in 1993 by his girlfriend Joanne.

In 2000, he broke the Guinness World Record for most syllables in one second during a freestyle rap.
