Being a straight A student, I recieve a lot of work back that has an impressive grade on it. One particular assignment that I am quite proud would have to be my Biology A final test. I got a 100% on it! I was very proud, because I am not the best science student around here by far. Recieving that perfect final score, it made me feel like I really was intelligent, and that is a great feeling.

If I could select my preferred job, being in high school, I would choose to work at an ice cream place, like Baskin Robins or Dairy Queen. I love ice cream, and I could get a discount on it.  I am a cheerful person, so I think I would be good at giving the customers the best service possible. Also, I am good at math and would be able to work the cashier. The only downside would be that I have a very busy schedule, and I don't know when I'd be able to put in enough hours to secure a job. But honestly, it wouldn't be that bad, as long as I made money and got cheap ice cream. Although for now, babysitting is all I've got and it gets the job done.

I am pretty proud of myself as far as grades go right now. I have all A's, some higher than others. Currently, my lowest grade is a 96%, and that is in both History and Language Arts. I need to make sure that I get my absent work, because that is what costs me in History. Also, in Language Arts, I need to make sure that I read a question that is asked thoroughly and completely understand what it is asking. Other than that, this 2nd trimester is going great!

I find this story very heart warming. In a softball playoff game, a batter hit her very first homerun. However, she had a knee injury and was unable to run the bases. In an act of kindness, two players carried her around the bases, practically eliminating themselves from the playoffs. It does upset me a little, however, that the news report finds this "unbelieveable". The team members were doing what was right. It's sad that this sticks out, because these kinds of things should always happen anyways.

Neil's three a's of awesome are attitude, awareness, and authencity. Something I personally consider awesome and take for granted is waking up every morning in a warm bed.
