Launch Day

Launch Day was a fun, relaxing day, filled with food, music and lots of learning. I found many of the presentations very interesting. My favorite presentation would most likely be Graham Frazier's. I payed great attention to his project because I was very interested in learning about the stock market; Something that I have always known was in our day to day life but never knew what it really was. I had a general idea of how stocks worked but I really understood after listening to his presentation.

He presented his information in a way that everyone could follow and understand. The stock market is a very complex system that run this world in a way. I understand how hard it is for a presenter to take such a complex idea and condense it into a ten minute presentation that everyone in the room can follow. He gave a great presentation and was very well spoken.

Reading Response ATDPTI

The  Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is a very entertaining and well thought-out book. Junior is a young cartoonist living on a small Indian reservation. He was born with a few medical problems and was made fun of by everyone at school. Rowdy is Juniors best/only friend, besides his dog Oscar. At the beginning of the story Oscar was very sick and Junior's dad had to put him down. They had no money and couldn't pay for Oscar to get help. Junior had no money and was not happy with the life he was living. He tries to make the best of things for the moment. Him and his friend Rowdy have lots of fun together and try to forget about all their problems they are dealing with. This is a touching story and is a truly good read for someone who needs a laugh.

What are some tricks and ways to manage your time at Episcopal after your first quarter?

At Episcopal for the most part, you have lots of time to complete your assignments and turned in on time. It is extremely helpful to have a study hall and even use your tutorial time wisely. Making the most out of your free time at school and getting your assignments done will create less stress and hopefully lead to better grades. However, some weeks can be more difficult than others. For example, if a break is coming up teachers may give out last minute assignments to get them in before the break. It is helpful to anticipate these weeks and even try to get ahead of your assignments if at all possible. Athletes, it is very important to stay on top of your schoolwork for a few reasons. One, time for homework is taken away due to after school practice. It is important to try to get as much work as possible done in school. Two, you have to do good on your assignments in order to maintain the grade in order to play your sport. Schoolwork seems to be picking up as the school year goes on...

Dear 13 Year Old

Thirteen years old can be a crazy and difficult time in a young persons life. Congrats!! You are a teenager now! Turning thirteen means a first for a lot of things, good or bad. During school it is about the time you have to start being a little less dependent on people to get your work done. I feel that becoming a teenager also changes the way you look at life each and every day. This is about the time where fantasies start to fade away and realization starts to come into play. Try to enjoy the change rather than think of it as something negative and just remember that everyone was thirteen once and they probably went through the same things you will go through.
