My weekend was kind of fun. I went to Kansas City to play a soccer tournament which I will explain later. But for now i'll talk about what happened when I was driving to Kansas City. It was kind of normal actually but very uncomfortable in my car because we had lots and lots of stuff packed up in a van. I brought my computer which was on my lap. I also went to sleep but not for so long. I woke up at about... (I really don't know what time it was) but when I woke up I saw my parents stopping the car and going to star bucks without me! Well it was because I was fake sleeping at that time. But when they came back I just went back to sleep. We finally stopped but not at a hotel. We stopped at the soccer complex where my brother and I were playing. (I thought I was playing but i'm gonna get to that in a second) When we were there my brother was already in his soccer clothes and we started walking to his field while my mom and I were going to my field but when we went there no one in my team was there. It took us about ten minutes when my dad finally called and he told us that my soccer game was actually at NIGHT!! I was shocked because I've never played at night. So we went to the car and I relaxed for a while until my soccer game came which was in the morning because I had two soccer games that day. After the game ended it was about one to 7. My team lost. After that my brother had his next game and he lost that game. (by the way my brother lost his first game too.) So after that game we finally went to our hotel. My sister and my dad went in the hotel to talk to the dude to give us a room. We got our little key ticket thing and went to our room. We went in and I closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes I was so shocked. It was big. All the other hotels I went to was the size of a bedroom but the one I was in had a living room a kitchen and a bedroom. And the hotel had two T.V's! We relaxed until my final game for the day came. And we lost again :( Then we went to sleep in the hotel and woke up early the next day and we were heading to my brothers game. But before that we had breakfast. And the breakfast was good too. Anyway we went to the soccer complex and I just stayed in the car the whole time. When my brother came back he told me he lost his game again. And it was his last game. Then it was my turn to have my game. And we lost. But I tried my best. Then we went back to my real home and the way back was normal. We slept in the car we were uncomfortable and it was pretty much the same thing as we went to Kansas. But when the night was here I saw so much beautiful stuff. They were all beautiful. Then I saw on another lane (which was the lane to Kansas) there was traffic. It was so huge. Man were we lucky we weren't going to Kansas. Then after that everything was normal. We finally reached home and we put on our clothes to sleep, brushed our teeth and um normal stuff like that. But that's all that really happened this weekend. PEACE.
Today for class we listened to a song called "I Lived" by One Republic. It was about a kid who had cystic fibrosis. It mentioned how the kid was not afraid and that he was very tough. If you don't know what cystic fibrosis is I am going to tell you now. Cystic fibrosis is a decease that only lets you live for 35 years and you can only get affected from it if you are born from it. This decease affects your lungs and you won't be able to breathe well. And this decease also affects your digestive system. Now on to the video. The kids name was Bryan. He was a brave man. If you watch the video it shows that he was very very very active. He rode a bike very far, he sled, he drove tractors and other stuff like that, he even played a sport which was hockey. He also was a very strong man and he was also a very caring man. He took his medicine everyday and every time he fell to the floor he got up and didn't even get hurt. He also raised lots of money for the cystic fibrosis researchers with his team. If you also listen to the lyrics carefully you can pause it and talk about them and explain what they mean. I will show you all of the parts and verses of the songs below. "I Lived" [Verse 1] Hope when you take that jump You don't fear the fall Hope when the water rises You build a wall Hope when the crowd screams out They're screaming your name Hope if everybody runs You choose to stay Hope that you fall in love And it hurts so bad The only way you can know Is give it all you have And I hope that you don't suffer But take the pain Hope when the moment comes You'll say... [Chorus] I, I did it all I, I did it all I owned every second That this world could give I saw so many places The things that I did Yeah, with every broken bone I swear I lived [Verse 2] Hope that you spend your days But they all add up And when that sun goes down Hope you raise your cup I wish that I could witness All your joy and all your pain But until my moment comes I'll say... [Chorus] I, I did it all I, I did it all I owned every second That this world could give I saw so many places The things that I did Yeah, with every broken bone I swear I lived [Bridge] Yeah, with every broken bone I swear I lived Yeah, with every broken bone I swear I lived [Chorus] I, I did it all I, I did it all I owned every second That this world could give I saw so many places The things that I did Yeah, with every broken bone I swear I lived Those are the lyrics to the song and remember to read each little paragraph and try to understand what they mean. And listen to the song and look and listen what the main character says. That's all I have to say to you. I don't want to spoil the whole video for you so I'm gonna let you on your own to listen to this song. Peace out. For social studies we learned about explorers. I decided to do Jacques Cartier and I had to do a project on him and so I did a haiku deck. Jacques Cariter - Created with Haiku Deck, presentation software that inspires This unit my focus question was seeking the unknown. So we made in inquiry project and my question was how did the people of Pompeii live like? And for my inquiry project I did a thing link. |
