I read the article "Another teen 'fight club' in Boulder?" by the Denver post. this article talks about how a group of students at a New vista school in boulder meet up at an elementary school to brawl for other students entertainment. A girl called the cops however the cops only caught 2 boys involved. This relates to me because my brother, his friends, and I would get in an empty room and mosh pit however its different because we weren't doing it for money. this relates to the world because there are tons of fight clubs in the world.

I read the article "7 Simple Ways To Burst Out of Bed Each Morning" by Alex Shalman. his article gives 7 tips to help you get out of bed early instead of pressing the snooze button over and over. I can relate to this because I often press the snooze button but recently I broke that bad habit and got into a worse one. Instead of pressing the snooze button i just turn off the alarm all together and go back to sleep. I can see how other people might have similar problems waking up in the morning.

I read the article "How to Find Happiness Without Buying It" by David Bohl. This article talks about how our current society is to materialistic and how people can find happiness without buying it. I personally think that you can find happiness without buying it but it is harder. Money does bring happiness because if my dad were to buy me a new car I would be more than happy, but a car costs money. I think it is hard to think of a way to have happiness that dosent cost money.

Presentation evaluation

I feel that I could have been more prepared with some more PLNs and also it wouldn't have hurt to be less fidgety. For my next presentation I plan to bring more to discuss and be more confident and less jittery

I read the article, "What's Worth Fighting for in Your School?" by Cool Cat Teacher's Blog. Although I do not know what it is like being a teacher, I know what it is like being a student. I agree that if a teacher does not feel the need to firght to know his or her students names and something about them that it is time to stop.

i read the article "Students Pay a Price (Literally) for Cell Phone Banfrom Weblogg-ed" by Will Richardson (Weblogg-ed)
In this article it explains how a high school in New York banned most forms of social communication and even went to the extent of putting scanners in the doors of the school to scan for cell phones. Students could drop their phones off with a bodega and could use or check their phones for $3 a use. I this that this is unbelievable and completely unfair.

goals for second semester

I believe that if I commit to doing my homework right when i get home than i will be able to achieve my goal of being on the honor role. I also plan to study and do much better in classes that I previously failed. Also I would like to have perfect attendance for my second semester. For after school goals I plan to pass summer school so i do not have to be a freshman and start off with good study habits next semester.
