Pray for Nelson Mandela

                                   Pray for Nelson Mandela

     Nelson Mandela is one of the most insipiring person to live on the planet , we know as Earth. He has through a lot during his journey of life, and now rests in peace above.Nelson has done a lot of stuff that I bet nobody else could have done. All the blood, sweat and tears that came for Mr.Mandela has made the man he is known today. His legend will carry on for generations. All this man wanted was for both colors to have equal rights . The Africans would attack the whites with words , however the whites just used weapons to fight back killed more than 30 African Americans a day . They soon decided that if the whites wanted a war, then war they will get. Although, they did not have high teak weapons 

                                    My Thoughts  

  What this man did was truly remarkable, all this guy went through for his people. He was in prison for 23 years, just for speaking up for his people. There were numerous times when this man almost was killed.However he did past this year,which will make everyone who this man was , what and he did. He will always be remembered by the world. Just imagine how our world would without him . It would certainly be different that's for sure.

LeBron James

                                              LeBron James

                  

          LeBron   Raymore   James is a professional America  basketball player of francinese Miami Heat in the National Basketball Association. This man was born on Dec,30 1984 

in Akron,Ohio. He currently the best basketball player in the NBA. LeBron was drafted in 2003 1 round pick 1 by the Cleveland Cavaleirs.However , James left Cleveland and joined the Miami Heat organization.Which is now my favorite basketball team.

                                           My Thoughts 

           I believe it was a god idea to head to Florida. Although he is hated in Cleveland for leaving, he has been doing a lot better a the game basketball. The stats don't lie. At six foot 8 weigh 250 with ball handling skills and a deep range this man is almost unstoppable.When he has a head of steam going to the basket , you better get out the way . He doesn't care who you are, he will find a way to score on. He will hit the jumper , or go coast to coast. However he got traded, to the Miami Heat , where he has won 2 rings back to back. The journey for LeBron hasn't stopped yet . He has a long way to go at only the age of 29. He is the top ten of the greatest athletes of all time,and is currently the best  the basketball on the planet that is still playing.

A Thanksgiving Question

                         Why Do We Eat Turkey On Thanksgiving  ? 

                                 When I was a child and still to this day my question has never been answered . I have heard a couple stories and that's is about it. All of the stories have been different,some close,but not the same . Why do we eat turkey for Thanksgivings ? Not that I have a problem with turkey, I just want to know why we eat it. It has been said that we  eat turkey because it should have been the national bird of New Jersey but the bald eagle  was . So the turkey has one day of the  365 days to itself .That day happens to be called Thanksgiving. This the most common answer besides " I don't know." 


                               Personal Thoughts

             I believe we eat turkey  to honor something that happened on that date. What that something I don't know. It could possible that its from the native Americans. I need to know why we do this . Do you know why we eat turkey on thanksgiving. I have always wanted to know why we do this. 

                        I honestly have no clue why we eat turkey on Thanksgiving. I just wish someone could tell a story that I can some what believe .  Do you know any idea why ? Moving on  Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Why wouldn't I . It when you and your family sit down at the table and enjoy a feast.

Do you like it?

Snacks on the Go

                                             Snacks on the Go

       I hate being hungry when I'm not home. My stomach starts growling, it's just a bad feeling. I play a lot of sports ,so  I can't really eat a full meal before a game or practice. The only that I can eat is a quick snack. However, there is not that many healthy foods outside of your home. There are most vending machines full of sugar drinks, candy and chips. These unhealthy foods are often given in huge quntaties. After eating these snacks you'll start feeling tired and lazy. This going to help you finish strong through the rest of your day. Also you may gain extra weight and  body pimples. If you are doing a sport or any other activities you will not as well if you were eat healthy foods.

                                           My Personal Thoughts 

       Its hard to get in the habit of picking fruits and healthy foods of a can of pop and a bag of chips. However, it will make you feel total different after eating a fruit than a piece of candy . Your energy will be boosted to a whole new level . You wont feel tired,and just lay on your couch . I promise you this, your life will last longer if you healthy.YOU have to listen to me on this if you want to live a longer life. Also you will feel stronger. Lastly you will be  happier.

                                              

                                         Just Try It

  Just try eating healthy foods  , you are a going to feel great.

Does Practice Always Make Perfect?

                                     

                                         Does Practice Always Perfect

               I have been playing sports for many years now and a common phrase I heard was practice makes perfect. Is this really true? However, another phrase I heard was you can always improve. Do you think it's true? Let's say you have a math test coming up and you practice basic math fact.You take the test  and you get 100%. That's a perfect score ,there is no greater score. What if your playing a basketball game and you score 25 points , someone says you had a perfect game,but you could of score 26 points which would  be better than scoring 25 points.  

                                Personal Thoughts  

     In my view point I believe that practice does not make perfect,because in most cases you can always improve in some sort of way. However, practice will always help or make you better at something. But when you practice you must practice like you were actually performing  to get better. So you always need to be at your best.

                                    Question of the Week 

What is your thoughts about the saying practice makes perfect? Do you think this statement is true?

The shoes last at least 6 months , and you can also buy other accessories  . Such as, snap backs, socks for football and basketball , shirts and shoe cleaners. The service is kind and helpful . The staff never lose their cool helping a customer . Foot Looker target men a women from the age of 13-30.

The First of China

                                        Intorduction

                         How do you think China started? How this country was united? This is how China became China.

                                         The First Emperor of China

                         On 259 B.C   the emperor of China was born,Qin Shi Huang.  According to the artcile on Live Science this emperor took his powers to far . He forced his people to make an army of terra cotta clay . This took 36 years  to complete and 700,000 were made, no face the same . During that time emperor was taking his powers to far, and his people tryed to kill him . However , Qin Shi escaped these murders . As years past, the grew older hoping for a ruler after his death. On September 10th 210 B.C Qin Shi Huang died.Then his people decided to smash the army to pieces . 36 years over hard work went down the drain

                                         Personal Thoughts 

                 Honestly, I would of hated to work for that emperor if I lived back then. According to a video on our class blog this emperor drug some of his people and buried them alive! Also he forced his people to make an army out of clay , which   took 36 years. Think about how sore your hands would be, and no choice to do it or you could have been killed. Do you know whats funny to me ? The way the army was found. A group of farmers were digging for wells and then found human size clay figures . It's was strange this happened .
I wish China had a better emperor .
