Kid Nation

        In this show 40 kids that go and live in an abandoned pioneer town. The leaders of the town are kids as well. The oldest is 15 years old and the youngest is 8 years old. All of the kids have to hike to the town. some of the goats the kids have have gotten out and the kids had capture them. The kids have to pull all of there things in wagons. One of the kids hurt their foot and the others helped him by pulling him in the wagon. When the kids reached the town they realized how dead the town really was. When they found out they only had a thin mat to sleep on they realized much work they had to do. While trying to cook they realized that they need to follow a recipe if they want to eat. After the first day, a lot of the kids want to leave, but the leaders have to find a way to make everything work. The next morning at breakfast not everyone eat food because people took more than they were supposed too. One of the older kinds named Greg was pushing around one of the leaders Mike, but one of the other older kids named Micheal was standing up for the leaders telling the other kids that they need to listen to the leaders. The leaders had to split all of the kids into districts. The yellow, blue, green, and red districts. Two of the kids in the blue district came to all of the districts bunks and wrote 'Go Blue' on the doors.
       All the kids had to get a job. The districts have to compete to see what jobs and what pay they get.The upper class are the red district. The merchants are the blue district. The cooks are the yellow district. The laborers are the green district. Since all of the teams finished in less than an hour they get a reward. The have a choice between more outhouses or a TV. The kids have chosen to get the extra outhouses. The yellow district are the cooks and they didn't follow a recipe, but everyone loved it, but they didn't want to clean. The teams are so excited for the stores because they have tools, candy, soda and things from home. All the kids are so excited to buy things and Sophia really wanted to buy a bike so she was dancing for nickels until she had three dollars to buy the bike. Taylor the leader of the red district wants to home but the other leaders are nervous about want will happen if she does leave.
      The leaders of all the districts have to agree on one person to receive a gold star which is worth $20,000. They choose the person by how hard and by want they have done to help the town. The leaders have chosen to pick Sophia to win the gold star. When Sophia found out the gold star was worth $20,000 she was so excited and surprised. Sophia got the chance to call her parents to tell her she won her mom freaked out and was so excited.
     The whole town was so excited after the town meeting they were all happy and running around and working together.

My Day Yesterday

Picture From Here 

       Yesterday I went to the doctors because I have been having really bad headaches for about 4 weeks. When we got to the doctors we had to wait for the person to come out at call me into the room. When they finally did the lady checked everything like my blood pressure and my tempurature. Then we had to wait for the actual doctor to come in.While me and my dad were waiting we heard like 70,000 kids screaming. When my doctor finally came in he told checked my nose, mouth, and ears. When he was done he told me that I have a sinus infection and that the sinus infection was causing my headaches. So then we left the doctors office and when to pick up something from my dads work.

Something That Annoys Me

      Something that really annoys me is when people tab their pens or pencils on their desk nonstop. For example, when we are supposed to be reading and the room is silent there is always that one person who has to be making a noise. Another thing that really bugs me is when people chew their gum or eat their food really loud or with their mouth open. Like keep for mouth closed we don't want to see that. Also what annoys me is when people always try to talk to me while I am listening to music and I keep having to take me ear phones in and out just to hear them. When  I am listening to music around people I don't want to talk to them because they annoy me or I just don't like that person or I want to listen to music in peace!

Volleyball

Volleyball is my favorite sport, and I have been playing since I was in 5th grade. Last year I played for a team called St. Louis Powerhitters. We were not very good but it is just fun to play. I played volleyball this year for the 7th grade team, and it was very fun. For club this season I am playing for a team called JC Crush because I didn't make my old team. When I didn't make Powerhitters this year I was sad because I made a lot of friends last year who made it this year. I tried out for another team and made that team but didn't know anyone else so I went to the Crush tryout.

Special or Not?

Picture From Here

   I believe everyone does have the right to be special, but with that being said if more people start doing that the less special people will become. I feel that if someone does something extraordinary and everyone thinks they are special that is awesome until others start doing the exact same thing. If everyone starts doing the same things the world would be boring with everyone doing the same thing every single day. If people what to be special they should just be themselves and be who they want to be not what everyone else is. If you want to be special you need to have a unique personality and not just be one in a crowd.
