Civil Rights Project

Abbeville Press books | The Civil Rights Movement
I like the civil rights project. I hated doing all the codes and the CODE practice online and would rather do things about history and projects other than codes and typing web. I like learning about the civil rights and how so many people went out of there way and marched and supported the civil rights movement. I know a lot about MLK but I'm still learning some of the things he did to have the civil rights movement passed. Malcolm x was another person who did so much just so African Americans could have the same rights.

Pride

Amazon.com Pride
The movie Prides a great movie about how a group of poor African American boys start a swim team. They are discriminated against but they have the will power to keep going and swimming. Their coach is a great man who was a swimmer in high school but always got treated different because he was black and understands what his swimmers are going through and how much it takes in them to keep going. The swimmers were always messing around and never took anything seriously until they realized what they were doing after their first meet when they came in last. I think it is very unfair on how they are treated during their first meet. No person black or white should be discriminated against because of their skin color, only the way they act. They started to place in a lot of their meets after they started training and stopped messing around. Then when it was all coming together 3 men came in and started wrecking the whole place and when their coach seen them doing it he almost got arrested for beating them all up. The coach suspended himself for setting example for his swimmers. The teams captain coached them during the last meet and they ended up winning it. The coach changed a lot of things by having an all black swimming team. When he knew they would face a lot of problems they worked through them and kept on going. There was a lot of discrimination back then against black people,and I think it is very unfair just because of someone's skin color. Nobody should ever have to go through what that swim team and their coach went through. Pride is a great movie and I think anyone with the opportunity to watch it should.

The Worst Thing a Parent can do

Michelle Suxapingas' high school - Angry German Kid Wiki
I think the worst thing a parent can do is send there kid to a boarding school or force them into doing things. Like if my parents thought they could send me to an all boys school or a boarding school I would move out. Or if they forced me into being in groups or clubs I didn't want to be in then I would participate all the way. Like if they made me join the drama club or something in high school like that, I probably wouldn't show up for it or I would just fail it on purpose.

Breakfast

58 Breakfast Wallpapers | Breakfast Backgrounds
This morning I didn't have breakfast and I'm really hungry. Then I have to wait until about 11 to go eat. My mom woke me up later and I had to be on a rush to get everything done. I'm just going to start using an alarm clock. Even though I cant stand the noise of them. I could really go for some scrambled eggs and toast or some waffles like I normally eat in the morning, but of course my mom had to go and wake me up late. I cant wait until I get home after school because im going to eat so much.

QR Codes

QR Codes
I don't really like the QR  Codes at all. I hated making the QR Codes.It was really boring making them and had to think about things to make them about. The only thing I really liked about the QR Codes was the scavenger hunt and going around the school to try to solve the different codes. I think we should do more scavenger hunts and things like that with the QR Codes but if not I don't want to do anything else to do with codes or QR codes.
