Our Underground Study Hall

My A period study hall is CRAZY! We have the best teacher Mr. Neal or as we call him Master Neal, Math Master, The Human Calculator, or I like to call him Gangsta Neal. My study hall consist of 9th graders- Bristow Richards, Prem Chockawocka, Caroline Phelps, Amelia Culbreth, and 10th grader- Matthew Graham Even though his study hall is crazy, I still get SO much work because he constantly pushes us to do more and more work. If we have no work what so ever, we like to play educational games like Chess, trivia, and my favorite, Set. Set is my favorite because I'm so amazing at it (not really) and it gets SO tense. Basically everyone is jealous to be in my study hall because it's hardcore.

Turkey Day

    Thanksgiving, Turkey Day, or as I call it, Great Food Day, is celebrated around the nation of the United States of America.  The celebration of Thanksgiving is celebrated in many different ways including meeting with relatives and family.  In my family, my dad, my sister, my mom, and I make about an hour trip to Clinton South Carolina where my grandma and my uncle live.  But, my family is not the only family to go up to my grandmas, my cousins from the way south come up too.  Their family consists of my dad's brother, my aunt, and their four daughters Rebecca, Jennifer, Jessica, and Emily.  After we get there, our Turkey Day consists of a dog show on tv, football, chatting about anything, a long standing tradition of watching a movie that I can not think the name of, and of course eating a ton of my grandmas good cookin. I love Turkey Day personally because I like reflect on my life lessons and spend good time with my family.

My New Hope

Star Wars A New Hope was actually the first movie made out of the star wars series.  Even though it is the 4th movie it was the first one made.  Personally, I love the star wars series and especially A New Hope.  In this movie, there is no actual protagonist because this movie follows many different characters.  These characters can include Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, and the evil character, Darth Vader.  TIME FOR SPOILER ALERT! So, Darth Vader is actually Luke's and Leia's father and used to be on the good side of the force.  In this movie Luke and Leia are actually brother and sister but do not know this do to them getting split up at birth.  So, the dark side of the force is building a circular planet destoyer called the death star, but do not get to finish it do to the good side being kick ass.  Luke in the beggining of the movie lives on the desert planet Tatooine as a trader with is Uncle.  By the way, Princess Leia has the plans to the death star but is captured on one of the evil imperial ships.  But, before she is found on her ship, she gives the plans and a video message meant for Jedi master Obi-Wan to a small droid, R2-D2, who escapes with his awesome robot buddy, C3PO. Out of total coincidence these two droids land on the same planet as Luke lives on.  But, before these two droids find civilization, they are captured by the cutest little sand people.  But, I can not tell you anymore because that would be a jerkish move. So... Bye y'all.

The making of brilliance: Steve Jobs

     Steve Jobs was one of the most brilliant individuals when he was alive.  Steve Jobs sadly died a couple of days ago living from 1955-2011.  He was the former CEO of a mega money making business, Apple.  He has accomplished many things in his life and inspired many people to do great things.

     Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in the city of San Francisco.  Being born out of wedlock he was put up for adoption.  Because his biological mother and father both had college educations, they wanted his parents to also have one.  Unfortunately, the candidates, Paul and Clara Jobs did not meet these expectations, but after a short time Joanne agreed to have her baby adopted by them under the firm condition that they would send him to college when the time came to it.  As a boy Steve didn't like school all too much until he reached the 4th grade and found his "saint teacher".  She helped him by bribing him with candy and 5 dollar bills.  This would start the brilliance of Steve Jobs.

     

What inspires me...

    My name is Alex.  I have many inspirations, including superstars like that guy who played Obi Wan in Star Wars, singers like Lil Wayne, Drake, and Mac Miller, or friends like Bailey Beasley, Solo, Jack Dworjanyn, and partially Kelvin Obioha.  These things inspire me to do great things with my life, like suceeding in sports and doing well in school.
    Superstars inspire me greatly to do great things because it shows that people might see that I've messed up, but they overcome what they do and make big money.  Music song writers and singers inspire me to do great things in sports because their music gets me pumped for a game or practice.  Some of these songs include, Marvin's Room and I'm On One, both by Drake, I'm Not a Human Being by Lil Wayne, and Donald Trump by Mac Miller.  These songs also inspire me to express what I feel about certain topics like cancer, world peace, and aids.  Friends inspire because they help me with problems and they inspire me to suceed in anything I do.
