Obamacare Q4 W2

http://www.trump.news/2017-03-26-the-top-5-biggest-obamacare-fails-and-why-republicans-and-trump-should-try-again-to-repeal-and-replace.html

This article describes the top five biggest Obamacare fails. The first point states that Obamacare is unaffordable. Democratic leaders lied repeatedly in saying that the reform measure would lower monthly healthcare premiums. For the Americans that had not had health insurance, this isn't true. Now, these people pay around 60-90 percent more.

I do not know why politicians lie sometimes. I think its really not smart and that people will always eventually find out. I think Obamacare is very helpful, but if its not as affordable there's no point. As soon as people make it affordable it will help everyone. Overall, I think its a good idea.

Baseball Season Q4 W1

Right now, we are midway through our Episcopal baseball season. I am really enjoying myself right now. Baseball is one of my favorite sports, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in world. Although we haven't won many games this year, I feel that our team is excellent. We have a great group of guys, and I couldn't ask for better teammates or coaches to support me and the team through our journey.

The reason why we aren't winning many games is because we have one coach, that coaches two teams, which is around 40 kids. We don't get much attention, but we are very talented. By the time it is our senior year, I know we will be competing for the state championship. I can't wait.

My Progress Q4 W1

This year, I have learned lots of thing about myself that I didn't know about before. I learned that my grammar wasn't the best. I learned that my sentence structure and my writing in general were just not good. On assignments like the "WRap" I would always get high scores. This year was a bit different. At the beginning of the year, I noticed that these categories were especially bad. As the year went along, I noticed myself getting better grades on my writing and these things have improved. There is always room for improvement in anything you do in life because we're humans. Although, I will try my hardest to get myself to as close as perfect as possible.

In this class I was challenged, it brought out the real me. Other than just writing, I have learned many things. I learned that I can't just barely squeeze by. I learned that I need to give it all I've got, or I just won't be successful in this class, or in life. I learned that the little things that we do are all for a reason and will up making or breaking your grade. I have had my ups and downs in this class, but as of now I think I'm improving. And I really enjoy this class.

Soccer Q3 W7

A couple weekends ago, my friends Luke, Joe, and I went to the burbank soccer fields to play in a pickup game. I wore my Neymar jersey because he my favorite player. When Luke brought us there, I had noticed that there was a wide variety of people. There were tall people, short people, Americans, Mexicans, Brazilians, Nigerians, Argentinians, Japanese people and many more. After we got there, we went right to picking teams. I was the first pick and I felt honored. I felt like I had to live up to the expectations of being the first picked. Joe and Luke got picked shortly after me.

When we first started playing, I wasn't playing my best. I was just coming off of a hurt ankle, so I was a little rusty. As the game went long I began to get opportunities. My first opportunity was a long shot. I took the shot from about 20 yards away and hit the post. I was so mad, and so was everyone else. Everyone took the game so seriously. After that missed shot, even though it was a tough, I didn't get as many passes. Then, I finally got the ball and did a roulette around the defender marking me and the goalkeeper came out of goal. As soon as I noticed that I did a rainbow. It was absolutely insane even though the keeper was a 4'9" Guatemalan, I felt accomplished. It was the most skillful goal I have ever scored.

Song Analysis Q3 W7

This week for my blog, I chose to analyze the song, "I Must Belong Somewhere" By: Bright Eyes. This song is about a stressed person that worries about lots of things. The artist wrote this song to tell the person that there is a place for everything and its not their mind. They should clear their mind of everything and just relax.

The artist also uses techniques such as repetition and consonance. Im not sure why the artist uses these techniques. Maybe just to be more poetic. The artist comes up with the most random things and places they belong. Maybe its because the artist is trying to show us how crazy the stressed person is and how he/she has lots on their mind. I think the artist did a great job in writing this song.
