Kids these days are spoiled rotten.  They get anything they want and don't work hard towards anything.  All they do is sit around and text one another or spend all day on social media.  The amount of time they spend on their phones is ridiculous. They have to have everything that their friends have, so it is always a competition on who can have the best clothes, newest iPhone, or the best selfie. Kids are showing less and less respect for parents. The words that come out of their mouth are disrespectful and sometimes even bad words at a very young age. They need to mature and not be as crazy.

Tell me about the global issue you selected. What do you already know about the issue? What are you looking forward to learning about it? Explain

I chose to do breast cancer because seems like more and more people I know are starting to get cancer. A very close friend of mine had a family member get diagnosed with breast cancer so it has had an impact on my life. Also, my mom did the three day walk for her friend who had breast cancer and it was fun to support her during that. I don't really know that much about breast cancer but I know there could be many ways to treat it. I'm looking forward to learning about the effects and what we can do to prevent from getting it.

What did you do this weekend? Share pictures if you have them!

This weekend I went to the Blue Valley Football game at Shawnee Mission North.  It was really fun because it really felt like I was finally in high school by being able to participate in the theme, this week's was USA, and get out of the middle school section and into the high school section. It was also fun because we beat the Cougars 29-0! On Saturday, I hung out with friends and had a softball practice and we all ate pizza together afterwards.  On Sunday, I saw my cousin and aunt who just moved to Kansas. Then I went to see The Giver and ate dinner at Jose Peppers with my friends.  Overall, I had a fun weekend.

PSA

Wednesday, September 3

Yesterday I asked your to "think differently" and push yourself to be uncommon with your PSA project using Google Slides. Why do you think I asked you to do that? What is the point? Why not just use bullets and headers? Explain.

I think you wanted us to really try to make it unique and put in a lot of effort.  Typically we just make boring power points and it is the same thing over and over again, which probably gets old to watch and grade.  I think you wanted us to try and do something outside the box and see how well we know Google Slides.  The point is that we shouldn't always do the easiest way possible through everything but that we try to make something different and unusual. For example, I made my own gif by taking screenshots of different positions of images on my Google Slides. I also used the tool bar to make lines and shapes and try to make it more unique. We shouldn't always just use bullets because they are boring, unoriginal, and normal.

Tell me all about your Labor Day weekend. What did you do? Include photos!

For Labor Day, my family went to the Lake of the Ozarks with my uncle's family and my grandma. My uncle has a boat, a jetski, and we rent a condo. It's always a blast because we go tubing, fishing, and go karting. I love that I get to see my family because they live in St. Louis, so that means we can't all get together as often as we would prefer.  My favorite part of the trip is when we went tubing because it was so choppy out on the water, we were in the air most of the time.  It did hurt extremely bad when we fell off though because we were going so fast and it was so rough.  I also enjoyed riding the jetski for the first time because we could go way faster it seemed like and we could do more turns and fun things. I always enjoy spending the time that i get to spend with my family. Photo Credits
