6 Places and 6 Reasons...

I would love to visit France, Paris to be exact..... I've never being there and its the first one on the list of best places in the world to visit.
New York city is another one of them.... I went a couple of weeks ago and I just can't wait to go back. I love it there, the different people walking on the streets, the different air, I am to be the person who goes into every starbuck in NYC I love coffee.
3rd in my list is Puerto Rico..... I've never been to Puerto Rico but there is so much history there, I would love to visit it.
4th comes Aruba...... another place that I would love to visit, I love beaches and so I am sure I would love Aruba, especially on New Year party, I've heard of the awesome parties they have there.
5th is Los Angeles..... I want to go there so bad. TO see some celebrities, to be able to go on a limousine which is one of my dreams and to just have fun. I think its a great place to visit.
6th and last in my list is Las Vegas, but I am pretty sure I will like it better when I'm older... but why not? I mean I love lights, when I went to NYC I thought it was like Las Vegas without being in Las Vegas. So I would like to visit it very much.

Ready to move on

I think that I have improved immensely this year when working with Mr. Davis. I feel ready to move on to 9th grade and I know I have improved. Last year in math class, I didn't understand things easily as I did this year. I am ready to move on and learn more about geometry. Mr. Davis you taught me algebra. Something that I thought would be impossible for me to learn. I remember at the begging of the school year I knew only algebra basics and now here I am solving equations, factoring etc. I see my grades improving, compared to last year's math and that made me confident and now I feel like I could do anything. And I strongly believe that I am ready to move on next year in math. And I will work even harder next year and try to be better at everything.

What is the Pythagorean Theory?

Simple "a squared+ b squared= c squared". That means that the 2 shortest sides of a triangle, when squared and then added together should equal the longest side, or the hypotenuse.

My stepfather tried to explain it to me so the example is that: there is a triangle with side lengths 7, 9, 10 so because we know that c has the be the longest side we set it up 7^2+9^2=10^2 or 7x7+9x9=10x10 the equation simplifies to = 49+81=100, 49 + 81=130 not 100 so the triangle is not right.

Quarter Three GPA

I've been working very hard to be the entire year in honor or high honor role. Which makes me really happy. I have a GPA between 3.30-60. Which was the highest I got. This quarter, I was a little disappointed because I didn't make it to the high honor role. My GPA was really low, only 3.33 this quarter which is a 5. I am more than happy because last year, I wasn't in honor role and by GPA was lower than 3.30. I've been working hard to get my grades up this year including in math. I am happy to know that now, I am an average person and my challenge for next year is to be in as many high honor roles possible.

NCAA's Final Four 2011

The universities that won the final four where: Butler-Louisiana, Connecticut University, Kentucky and VCU Virginia. An interesting fact about the Butler university is that it was founded in 1855 by attorney and abolitionist Ovid Butler. Another thing is that it occupies 290 acres Indianapolis. The University has this liberal arts-based education and their goal of teaching is to make students better at communication, appreciation of beauty, community service and global awareness, a lot like CIC. The Kentucky university is a little different, for the first time in 13 years, the University of Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball team is back in the Final Four after defeating the University of North Carolina Tarheels with the score of 76-69 in the NCAA Tournament East Region Championship game. The VCU university is called Virginia Commonwealth University, it is a "computer school." Very few people who attend it live on campus. And they have a huge part time student community. Lots of people go back to the VCU for masters. And last but not least there is the Connecticut university, this university is located in one of the best places in Connecticut it has this beautiful view and they also have a crystal thing that is really beautiful. I hope the University of Kentucky wins because they haven't won anything since 1998 and they rock!

29th of February..

Ive being researching and I found out that in the Gregorian calendar, the current standard calendar in most of the world, most years that are evenly divisible by 4 are leap years. In each leap year, the month of February has 29 days instead of 28. Adding an extra day to the calendar every four years compensates for the fact that a period of 365 days is shorter than a solar year by almost 6 hours. So that would have 29 days even though its February. So the next February 29th would be in 2012. In 2008, there was an 29th of February. Since a leap year consists of 366 days, whereas other years, called common years, have 365 days. Thats why February would have an extra day added up into it. And we would see a 29th of February every 4 years.

Algebra Project

I think that this is going to be a good project. I think that the idea of finding and knowing the distance between planets is a very good topic. Its also great that my school will be joining in the celebration this coming year and we will investigate space and technology for the entire day. I really liked the idea of making a design and display about the planets in our solar system. Its good because we get to learn about science too. So, I liked the project.
