New School, New Beginning

              This school year was a big change for me in the sense that Im at a whole new school where none of the teachers know me and its a whole new scenery. I believe this change was a step forward in my life because it gave me a chance to have a fresh start. I needed this new start because I really needed a new beginning because I have always struggled with school and getting all my work done and studying for test, ect. And now this year I have a new chance to get organized and started doing things in new ways such as using my agenda instead of just trying to remember things and end up forgetting different assignments. I've found that using my agenda has helped  me get my grades beck on track and to keep a clear head and not always be trying to remember certain assignments or when tests or quizzes are. I also now use this year which I haven't ever used in the past is different folders, notebooks, and binders versus my old system of one big notebook, one big stack of papers, and booklet of handouts. I believe that these new strategies have helped me start getting good grades and will hopefully help me keep them at a level I want to see them at.

I Would Compare Myself To...

                 I would compare myself to a lighter's flame. I believe that I am like a flame because the flame can grow to a massive, out of control blaze which I and every other person can become because everyone at some point in time hits there breaking point or so angry that they become out of control. And also people can stay at a constant emotion or in comparison to the flame it can stay at a steady, consistent length and power, not overwhelmingly big or large and not so small that it doesn’t get the basic required jobs done. And because the flame strength of a lighter can become so small that it doesn’t do the things that it was intended to do or that can do them to only the bare minimum which is kind of like some people, they don’t make much noise or cause many things to be affected by them which can be good and bad depending on the situation that one might be in. But I strive to be at a normal consistent rate, not to loud and not to quite, just try to be participating in my activities but not cause a distraction to others or myself.

When I Grow Up

When I was little I always wanted to become a professional baseball player and play Short Stop for the New York Yankees and I had that dream for years and years. I had that dream until i learned my odds of getting there, slim and none. I realized that only the top two percent of the best college baseball players make it to the major leagues but only the top two percent of the top two percent are successful at it. I now realize that if I want to have a good chance at having a successful money making life I need to excel in school and get great grades and probably get my masters in something because by the time I get out of college I will be competing with people from all around the world in the job field who may have their masters already and if I want to have a good chance of getting the job I'll be best off getting a higher degree than just my under-grad. And to add to that load, stress, or those challenges, it would also be a great key to be able to be bi-lingual. Those I believe are some of the key challenges that someone fresh out into the world from their college experiences should expect to face.

A Journey I Intend to Take

I intend to take a journey to to New York City. While there i plan to see a New York Yankees in the new yankee baseball stadium. I want to go there because my favorite sport to watch is baseball and my favorite player plays on that team. My favorite player is Derek Jeter and he is my favorite player because he plays the same position in baseball as I do, Short Stop. And he seems to be a good, classy player. It would be a fun trip to take and NYC would be a good place to tour with my family.

Blog Expectations

My name is Danny. This is my super fly blog, which I will personalize and make my own ( but not post pics of myself on or use my last name on). I will always use appropriate language on my school blog and follow the conventions of the English language.The expectation for this assignment is that I post on my blog once a week for the remainder of the school year. I am expected to comment on texts that I am viewing in the world around me. These might include, but are not limited to: books, magazines, movies, internet articles, televisiopn, shows, trips to museums, etc.Each post should should be at least 200 words. Each weekly post is due by 8am on that wednesday. therefore, Q1 due dates are : 9/17, 2/24, 10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22, and 10/29. That makes for a total of 7 posts this first quarter. I understand that blogs are worth 100 pts per quarter and are graded hostistically ( That means there will be no specific grading rubic). I also understand that blogging is a significant component of my quarter grade. By the way, what I have just typed is only 196 words! Now it is 200!
