Week 11

My opinion on transportation is that sometimes it becomes a problem. I think it can become a problem because it can end up harming the planet and polluting it and the long term effects of that won’t be very pretty. However, not too much can be done about that because people have to travel for business or sometimes for family matters. If people couldn’t travel it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing for the earth, it would just be very inconvenient for humans. I personally think more things should be done to help reduce pollution from vehicles in general.

McDowell Middle School

The image above represents my school. This year is McDowell’s 50th anniversary, so I’m going to tell you a little bit about my everyday life here, and some things about my school. To start off I usually get to school around 7:40, and my dad drives me to school. School starts at about 7:55 and ends at 2:33. That’s when I ride the bus home and get home at about 2:45. During the school day I have seven periods, which include math, science, Ela, lunch, AE, social studies, technology, and guided study. Guided study and AE are study periods where I work on my assignments or things I didn’t get done in other classes. Each period is about 50 minutes long, except for my 5th period which is actually an hour long. Overall, the day goes by pretty fast and is decently fun. 

 

We don’t choose what subjects we get to learn, but we do get to choose between band, choir, guided study, and gym class at the end of our 6th grade year. The other classes are pretty much assigned to us and we have to go to them everyday. Each class typically has a different teacher unless your AE or guided study teacher has another class that they teach. A really important tool that we use everyday is a Chromebook which is basically a computer that the school monitors. It helps us in a way so that we don’t have to keep track of a bunch of papers, everything’s just online. 

 

The school grounds of McDowell aren’t super interesting, but at the same time they are unique. My school is right across the road from a cornfield and the building in front of ours in the Logan Elm high school. My school is located right outside of a town called Circleville. Other than that it’s typically like your average school. We have a basketball court, a tennis court, a football field, and right beside my school construction workers are building a new school for the Logan Elm district. It’s going to have an elementary school, middle school, and high school all together. Hopefully this helps you picture what my school is like, and somewhat of what it looks like. 

Week 10

This picture doesn’t make me feel very good. I think it’s sad that the air looks like this and that this picture is real. It is definitely a problem and people should start taking action, and spend more money to prevent this. This is the air humans are breathing, and it is clearly not healthy. It makes me feel gross knowing that sometimes there are houses beside factories like this, and that some people actually have to breathe this. There is no way their lungs are healthy and no one deserves to breathe this. Overall this makes me feel bad.

100 Word Challenge- Week #9

It was five years ago today when I was in the hospital. I was really afraid and startled. All I remember is seeing the red exit signs as I was going to my hospital room. They told me my medical condition was urgent and that I had to get in the room immediately. What supposedly happened to me was I was evacuating the food industry because of a gas leak, and I got locked inside. They said my lungs were in critical condition and that I needed to take it easy and not work for a while.

Picture

The picture below represents fall in Ohio. Fall and winter are my two favorite seasons, so I’m really glad it’s starting to be fall in Ohio. I love the weather in fall and I love the colors. The picture pretty much represents what fall looks like in Ohio though because the trees leaves start changing colors and they turn from green to red, yellow, and orange. The pumpkin represents Halloween and Thanksgiving, because those are both two holidays during the autumn season. Finally, the spider represents that this season is kind of a spooky season going along with Halloween being a holiday in fall. You can make an image just like this by using canva!
