Well, here we are. The last year of middle school. To some this may be exciting. For there a being given a chance to spread their wings and move on to more challenging and new experiences. But to some this may just be another inevitable step towards reality, and all the hardships that may come with it. Regardless of that, I want to congratulate all of the students, teachers, and faculty for the fact that they put up with all of us for about 288 days, and that you may enjoy the how many days we have of summer break. Also, I would like to thank all the parents and families that came to this celebration today, and that I wish you have an amazing summer break too. Well, first of all I wanted to talk about all the awesome memories we have had this year! The first one being in Mrs. Stacy’s class. If you don’t know Mrs. Stacy then you’re missing out on all the amazing lessons she teaches. She is always coming up with interesting labs for us to …show more content…
One of the labs I remember is the one involving inertia and gravity. I don’t distinctly remember the name, but in the lab you had to drop several different objects with varying masses one meter from the air. But while doing that you had to time how fast the object fell, and then write a report about how the mass of the object affects how fast the object fell. But you see, I was gone for the whole week prior, so everyone had already finished the lab, so it would of been awkward to ask any of my classmates to help, for you need two people to perform the lab; one person dropping the object, and another person timing it. But, without me even having to ask her, me and Mrs. Stacy did it. Which was much to my relief. Though it may of not met much to her, it did mean a lot to me, so thank you Mrs. Stacy for helping me out with that lab : ). Also, Mrs. Stacy is renowned for owning the 8th grade snack store, which is probably not the actual title, but anyways, she sold water, chips, Cheez-Its, and
There is not much to do during spring break in Smallville except for going out and making your own fun. Now what I mean by that is you can have good fun. For example, you can go bowling, have a party or just chill out with your friends. Then there is bad fun. For example, go egging or buy paintball guns and shoot stuff. My friends and I decided to have bad fun for spring break. When we first started egging it was only six of us. Earl, David, Charles, Brandon, Jerrid, and myself. As the first couple of days went by we realized that other people in the city was starting to form teams of their own to get us back for egging them. Let me tell you a little bit about my crew. Earl is my right hand man. He was giving the nickname cruel intentions for a reason. David is my best friend. He is a cool, laid back type of guy. Charles is my cousin. If u see David, Charles, and I at once people would think we was all brothers. Charles can be quiet sometimes but he also has a wild side to him. Brandon is my other cousin. He is the live wire out of the bunch. Brandon is pretty much ready for anything. If its fun he will join. Jerrid says one word about once every ten minutes. But his action speak louder than words. And then there is me. I go by the name Marcus. Some of my friends in Springfield call me Marc-d or mc. I am a quiet, laid back, live wire type of guy.
The ways of communication is vary, and we interact each other through the unique communication each other. 500 days of summer, which is one of the famous movie, we can recognize some important communication theory. In this paper, I would like to write about focus on the social penetration theory revealed in 500 days of summer. In this movie, some essential perspectives of penetration theory are revealed: depth and breadth of penetration, stages of the penetration theory, and verbal and non-verbal communication. In this essay, I am going to discuss these three characteristics revealed in the movie, 500 days of summer with my observations.
Do you ever get stressed over work from school or your job? Well, that is why breaks and vacations are so important. Stress is pressure or tension applied to a material object. When people have stress or are stressed, they do not need to worry about it, stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way. Stress is your body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you stay focussed on what you're doing, keeps your energy flowing, and helps you be more aware of what is going on. Being stressed isn’t always a long lasting situation, it can easily be demolished by taking frequent breaks in between activities, events, assignments, and other stressful moments. Another way to relieve stress, is to have one or two days in the week that are dedicated to your relaxation. Getting stressed from school is extremely common. Children especially get stressed because their system can not handle too many things at once because they are still developing humans. Your health will deteriorate over time if we don't take a break from work, research concludes. Many people need the time and space away from what they experience every day in order to recognize harmful or self-destructive patterns in their life. Many parents, teachers, and adults complain that summer vacation for schools is such an amazing idea because, there is much knowledge loss throughout the break, however scientists have proven that to live a happy, satisfying, and successful life, everyone needs to give their mind a break from stress at school and work thereby proving that summer break is necessary.
Have you ever been in love? Did it last? If not, how did it change you after the debacle? All of these questions could be answered by Tom Hansen, easily identified as the main character of the movie (500) Days of Summer. In the movie, Tom recalls of the time he spent with a girl named summer who he was madly in love with. Things didn’t work out with them however, which took a major toll on his life. (500) Days of summer is a good movie because it gives the audience an idea of the effects of being in love. The order of events within the movie engages the reader to see the plot in a different way.
This class was a lot of fun. There was grocery shopping for culinary class. I had a group of four students who needed some help with reading the recipes and preparing the dishes. On Monday we would choose a healthy recipe, make a grocery list and then head to Sobey’s on Tuesdays to purchase the food. Wednesday was prep day where we would get ready to cook and eat on Thursday. As with shop class, this class was another favorite for me. On one day early on in my practicum there was a day scheduled for town clean up. On that day I had a group of students and we were given a designated area downtown to pick up and bag whatever garbage we found. Myself and my group collected and filled over ten bags of garbage. The students seemed to have a good time. Many treasures were found while clearing garbage that day like money, lost photo I.D., and gold ring. I helped students do project on social justice issues in both grade nine and ten. The students and I researched different topics and made power point projects to present to the class. The subjects we worked on were child slavery, refugees, and human trafficking. Some days were spent in the science lab working with models to build the structures of
Thank you for helping me make this year my best year at the Whitman Middle School. All year I looked forward to having your class every day. You gave my peers and I an opportunity to learn while still being able to have fun and fully understand the topics that we were learning, which we all thank you for. I truly appreciate the compliments and encouragement that you have given me throughout the year. My main goal for my eighth grade year was to read more and improve my writing, and I strongly believe that you have helped me reach this goal. Throughout the year I have learned that I really love reading and writing and now it is something that I work on out of school in my freetime. I am looking forward to reading and writing more over the summer.
On behalf of the Humphrey graduating Class of 2006, I would like to thank the School District Board of Directors, administrators, teachers along the entire path, and any more members of the Humphrey School District staff. Also, thank you parents, families, and friends for your love and support.
Summer and vacations are synonymous, especially with my family. Does Chevy Chase and summer vacation ring a bell? With a family of six, anything is possible. There are two types of excursions that we take every year. I refer to one as my family vacation and the other as my family trip. My family vacation to the beach is an annual event, but my family trip destination is always different. This past summer my family and I went to Wyoming. Both experiences were the highlights of my summer but for very different reasons.
As the days go by the bell of graduation rings, Therefor I am happy I had the time to share with you the amazing exeprience I had my sophomore to senior
Daniel disembarked from the train at Naga station, following a ten-hour journey from Manila. The sun pierced his bloodshot eyes, beneath his long dark hair, as he stumbled to the platform with a heavy leg, carrying his luggage and a knapsack. A cool morning welcomed him, but clueless what was in store for him. His heart throbbed as he contemplated on this summer break. After a quick dog walk, he hurried up to a calesa waiting for passengers. The driver whisked the horse, and the wheels of the carriage wriggled to a rutted road much narrower than he remembered. Four straight semesters and two summers of a full load of classes, subsisting on milk and ramen noodles, transformed him into a lean, but tall, young man. His calm demeanor projected a serious spirited student. The long absence made him a stranger to his hometown. Before the trotting enervated horse, the
I am extremely proud to be given the opportunity to address you all during this wonderful and momentous celebration. Each and every one of you deserves the greatest congratulations. You have paid a price to be here; put sweat, frustration, anger, effort, tears, blood and now triumph into your years at Napier High School. You all should be incredibly proud of yourselves. You know that you make your life whatever you want. And what you put in, you get out. Like the cross country girls' motto: "Where you find success you find sacrifice," if you give, you shall receive. But don't expect results right away. Some things take time. And don't expect your goals to come easily. Life is filled with adversity; expect obstacles at every corner. Why? Because chances are they're going to be there. But it's not what happens when you are faced with adversity, it's how you react to it. Be classy through triumph and failure and if you get knocked down or stepped on. Get up, brush yourself off and start running again - no wait, that's another story. Nevertheless, you will face obstacles; the key to movi...
Education experts every year pose the question, do children really need such long summer breaks? Apparently, such a long break disrupts their development and comes in the way of their learning process. But perhaps educationists aren’t really aware of what all do children do during their vacations these days. A plethora of courses, classes, camps and workshops involving swimming, art, personality development, music, coding (few years back it was just general computer studies) and the like has given rise to a new seasonal industry of sorts. Even the trips taken in the name of the holidays seem laden with exotic destinations and customized experiences packed into a short period of time. We can ‘do’ Europe in ten days and Australia in a week, and come back with overflowing suitcases and digital memories which have already been shared real time, and commented upon. Holidays are, in some ways, no longer a break but an intensified search for experiences not normally encountered in everyday life.
School is a thing that nearly all children have to attend at some point in their young adult life. Every year, students are encouraged to come back to school for another year of education. Being asked to go to school nearly year round, students are granted breaks in their school year. Most popularly, breaks are held near holidays or in specific seasons such as, "Summer break" and, "Spring break." Most schools have their school year planned. They have students to go to school for the majority of the year, and the students get break for relaxation time. Pretty easy, isn't it? But recently, people have been stuck on one question. "What times should the breaks be?" For breaks such as Summer break that already have a proposed period of
This activity allowed me to be with my friends and with my teacher and have fun. It was also a chance for us to know our teacher better. We found out interesting facts about him and how he was there for us if we needed anything. He told us how to survive Edward R. Murrow since he also went to this high school. It was fun because he advised us to go to him if we ever needed help on anything. I felt happy since the lab room was cleaner and my teacher wouldn't be stressed out on grading our homework. After this activity I came home late and was very tired. My teacher was very happy and even took before and after photos to compare. I would have done this even without this project assignment because I like helping out my teachers in my free time. This activity made me realize how much hard work he does everyday for his students. If helping him grade things will decrease the amount of stress he has, I’m willing to help him
