Reflection on "The Butterfly Circus"

Well I thing "The Butterfly Circus" was a nice clip. I think it has meaning to it. I think the ending was meant to be a touching part, and it was. He had no arms and no legs and he was able to swim. So when that little boy who had those walker things was inspired by him. The little boy was probably happy to see he isn’t the only one, and that someone in that condition can do things. Another good thing about the clip was that the one circus leader guy was willing to accept him to their circus. That is an achievement for that one guy because he went from a side show to actually being in a circus. I also liked the part where the people of the circus went to where those poor families were, and they gave that little boy money. It’s also nice to see that the circus took in people that had a hard past. Like that lady who was kicked out of her home when she was pregnant. I actually really liked that movie. It has its heart in the right places. It is always nice to see movies that have good meaning and end happily. I think it is kind of amazing that, that one guy feel into the lake and didn’t drown but instead found out he has the ability to swim. I think this can inspire people that are missing a limb, or don’t have the ability to use all there limbs. In the beginning people laughed at him, but at the end people cheered for him. Being in the side show I think made him think that he isn’t normal and made him feel bad. I think that’s why he spit in the one circus leaders eye, because he called him magnificent and he probably didn’t believe that. H probably thought he was a freak. When he left and the Butterfly Circus accepted him, he didn’t have a part. That was until he founded something he could do in the circus. This movie was definitely a nice movie to watch. I believe it can be inspiring to some people. It has the ability to get to some people and give them a happy feeling because they watched as he went from being in a side show to actually being in the circus. I enjoyed watching “The Butterfly Circus.”

4th Quarter Goals

Umm my big goal for the 4th quarter is to pass I guess. I barely pass math each qaurter, so I guess my goal would be to get a grade higher than a D. I also would like to get another A for geography for this qaurter. So I believe I will have to try "harder" this year. I space a lot in math (the class is super boring) so I guess I can try to stop that. So I got 3 A's on my repot card so I really would like that again. My only class I have problems with id Math. So this qaurter I want to try to at least get a C. At least Im passing. I also have to do a little better in Spanish. The thing is I can read spanish and understand it, but I can't hear it and translate it. I have to work on that, so this qaurter I will try and get better at that. I think I would also like to stop doing homework at the last minute. I think that would help me be less stressed or something like that. Yep, I really don't know what to say. I really don't know how long this suppose to be. I really have no more goals besides just doing better and getting better grades.

Opinion on testing

My opinion on testing is mixed. It seems like test in classes are good so the teacher knows you've learned. But things like CSAP are just kind of not needed. Maybe if it wasn't like 6 tests per booklet with would be better. I guess some of the stuff is fine, but seriously 3 hours of testing? Also on CSAP they only let you read. I felt like I was going to freak out because the room was so quite and I don't know I just felt like I was going to freak out. The other thing about CSAPS is how much money it costs just to make them. If schools are in budget cuts why do we waste money on something nobody likes? It’s just a complicated test. I don't do much to prepare for it. I do try and study sometimes for regular class test though. I think CSAPS can make some students really stressed. Oh well. Regular test are nice because they have less questions and don't take up to 3 hours. Also they don't give you question that you've never heard of before. I really don't like those test. 8 years of it can make someone go crazy. This last test I took we didn't get to get a break. At least it’s over. Until next year. But sadly everyone has to deal with many tests in their life. After Csaps I now appreciate regular test. Well I don't know how long this is supposed to be. I don't know what else to write. So yea. By the way, I’m not scared of test. I just don’t love them.

Free Write 3/3/10

In Spanish class we had some project on foods from certain countries. My friends and I had Ecuador. It's very very boring. We didn't do a good job. Everything had to be in Spanish, but luckily dictionary.com has a translator. Anyways I don't know what to say. Oh my gosh the weather today is so nice. It was nice yesterday too. I actually walked my dog yesterday. I usually don't because I have a stalker and he's freaking annoying. Seriously he called me 40 times in one hour. But I have decided to ignore him, and if he ever tries to talk to me I'm going to pretend he's not there. Wait he's coming to this school next year. Grrrrrrr. Yesterday with CSAPS I think I actually did well. Since I don't have a 2nd hour I got to go home early. It was nice. One thing that made me like crazy happy was the math test I had. I studied so much, and I've never passed a test in math this year. But I knew a whole bunch of things on it. Going on a different subject, you know how everyone tells us to stay in school? Even the president says it. How can we stay in school if there are being budget cuts and teachers are getting fires? Up until this year I never really cared about government stuff. Now it just makes me mad. Seriously how can the president tell students to stay in school with the classes of 30+ kids? Of course no one really cares about a teenager’s opinion. I'm not even old enough to vote. Speaking of being a teenager, when I was walking my dog we walked past some lady in her car and she quickly locked her door. I think that was more than rude. What the heck does she think I was going to do? Open the door and attack her? Oh well. I'm done ranting now so yea.

My Recipe For

My Recipe for life consists of many things, I think. It involves a lot of emotion. Everyone goes through many of them. The one your need the most is Happiness, but you need sadness to level it out. Not everyone can be happy 24/7. You have to add friends in your life, or you'll be incredibly lonely. In which you also need bad friends. This will allow you to know who your real friends are. Knowledge in one thing that everyone needs. Logical and common sense can help you do everyday things. A big thing included in this recipe is change. Everyone changes and you can't do anything about it, sorry. You'll probably changed or will. Your friends and family members probably have too. In this life recipe you'll have hellos and goodbyes. You will lose friends and meet new. One thing you will have to deal with is negative comments toward you. Some one will definitely not like you and say bad things. Some one might tell you you'll never be able to do something you really want to. That will lead to the next thing which is motivation. People need it to keep moving on. Everyone has to deal with hard times. You need to learn how to move on from it though. You might include being optimistic some of your days. Others you may be pessimistic. You will lie a couple times or a lot, as will others lie to you. You’ll live through it and come out stronger. The last thing you need to remember is that going from life through death, you learn something everyday. Sometimes one day might be the most depressing, while the other is the greatest. But you'll live through many days and the recipe will be completed by the end of each day.
