Turning test

Think out side the box

Dear fans of my blog,

First off, I want to tell you what a fun summer I had. Not only did I go to the beach , but I also went to six flags every Monday of each week. One thing that I didn’t do (but wish I had) was visit my baby cousin . It feels so weird to be at school because i'm not use to waking up early .

Anyhow, I just watched a Men in Black video clip and it was really funny. I couldn’t believe that Will Smith acted like a weardo. Looking at Mr. Lahana’s “MOST IMPORTANT THINGS” list it’s pretty clear this video was talking about other ways to solve problems. This is because not everything will be easy to do so there will have to be different options.

On #4 of Mr. Lahana’s “MOST IMPORTANT THINGS” list he talks about finding what you love. Besides texting, Facebooking, and drooling over my favorite star munro chambers, I’m into some serious stuff. Stuff that not everyone’s into– like drawing baby cartoons. It’s true! I could spend hours drawing and time just vanishes. If you gave me access to a computer with a camera, Garageband, Scratch, Photoshop or 3D design software I would make a drawing that showed off my talent at school. But you know, I’m not perfect at my talent yet. By the end of the year I hope I can be able to reach most of my goals. Well, that’s all I have time to write for now bye-bye.
