Busy Times

Hey! It’s been very busy with the project coming up, tennis and homework. I will start off first with the project, today we had the chef come in and talk with each of the groups which were fantastic to meet him and to meet who is helping out with this great project. Recently for the past two weeks, we have had tennis tryouts, which I have been very sore for the last few days since I have never played day after day straight for a week. Before I have only played on the weekends for my tennis lessons. I finally got my serve down to get it over the net, now it’s only getting it the ball fast, hard, close to the net and ground. This year I made it on the JV with Mr.Carlson as my coach, which I enjoy since he really tries to get us to do our best. For homework, I and a girl from my A.P. class (Shelby, COME CHECK OUT HER BLOG: –https://callahanesd.wordpress.com/-) have been video chatting for our homework which I think it helps motivate me to just get my work done instead of procrastinating. The only downside of it so far is that I have been coming home late with tennis plus with I’ve been needing to go somewheres else so we have to video chat and discuss really late which makes me tired in the morning (I am NOT a morning person unless you call 12 pm morning and I’m not really a night owl either I mostly like my sleep.)  To add to the AP promotion group we have been working hard at trying to connect up with news companies such as King 5 and our local newspaper the courier herald. Speaking of my class and I made our local newspaper (picture #1 down below) which was great promotion I think, and to add onto that I sent in another update about our project so I’m hoping that they will accept it and it will show up in the paper again here soon. I and another person from my group have been working on a few videos one which goes to another class which talks about them also joining our project and helping out the night of the cooking class. The cooking class will be held in the EMS home economics room at 5 pm on April 11.  It feels like time is flying by we are so close we are starting to accept food donations – if you would like to donate then please follow these directions – and we are starting to plan out the day and what it is going to look like. If you chose or plan on coming we will be teaching how to make homemade spaghetti with marinara sauce and fajita style quesadillas. To wrap up this post I will end with a few pictures of the class at work (pictures #2-#3.)

Father Daughter Dance

Recently I helped out with my local father daughter dance, I feel like I didn’t do much but I think I helped out a bit, there wasn’t much for me to do. My sister and I went after a church member and family friend asked me and her to help out. We ended up helping out for 5 hours through the night with a yummy dinner in between. I saw a few girls and their dads from my human geography class which I thought was nice for them. Throughout the night I helped collect tickets and handed out picture frames to decorate in between during my break and at the end, we helped clean up scraps and pick decorations. Even though I’ve never been to one of the dances with my dad it’s nice to help out the community as much as I can.

We Nourish!

In my A.P. Human Geography class, we are doing an AP with WE project called WE NOURISH. The group that I’m in that contributes to this big project, is the social media and promotion part of it. WE NOURISH is a project we are doing locally, we are planning to teach local citizens who do not have the opportunity to cook nutritious meals for their family and they will have the opportunity to learn to make better meals without having to spend too much. I’m so glad that I get to help out friends and my community, just by doing this it helps me think of all the ways that we can make the world better. One of my classmates made this great logo, I think she did amazing on it since it really tells a lot about the project.

Entering Into High School

My A.P. Human Geography class has made me realise how much different high school is from middle school. Social status doesn’t mean as much but it is still there, when you take harder classes then you are more likely to be surrounded by people who work hard. You can’t put off homework until the day of the end of the semester. Even though my A.P. class is a bit challenging at times, I would say it is worth it all just taking this class alone has opened my eyes on how I view the world, before I didn’t know how many countries there even are, can i just tell you there are a lot (197 to be exact).  If you are anything like me doing homework just isn’t easy, you either have the motivation to do it or you don’t. Taking this class you have to have the motivation, otherwise, you don’t want to let your peers down when they are counting on you. Keep up on reading, do your homework, pay attention and be the best you can be when you enter into high school.

First Blog Entry

About me myself and I… My name is Sidney, I have three older siblings two who are married and have one kid each making me an aunt. The name of my blog is from my great aunts Etsy shop she died a few years back.  Enough about me and some more about my class, in my first period class for AP human Geography we are planning both local and global projects where we plan to help others that they have daily struggles and we do not know. Our class chose to focus on food and insecurity, we are planning a health food cooking class for our community. The piece and group I’m working on is social media and promotion and currently working on another blog with someone else. COME CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITES:
