Presentations

There were many good presentations. Many different topics too. I liked the one john did. About teen suicide. He showed us about how many teens are looking for help but arent getting any. It changed me when he said that hes tried things and many times tried to commit suicide. He also talked about how every day there are many teens commiting suicide. I also liked phillips. His was about how we need more border patrol in the US. He showed a video that a mexican was trying to cross the border right under the bridge. Chased him aroud for a mile or so and then the BP saw him and caught him. It inspired me because it's more people like that guy that we need each day. He should be on border patrol

Proficiency exams...Do we need them?

When march rolls around in school, everyone has that look of bordum with a mix of dissapointment in their faces, why? CSAPS. What does that stand for? Colorado Student Assesment Programs. Personaly, I dont like them. All they do is measure how smart or how stupid someone is. Now im not saying that were all communists and every one should get the same grade. No im saying that with all the tests, quizes, homework, and proficiency exams that we get, I dont think we need CSAPS. We also already get the MAPS testing in the begining and end of the year, which places us in our level of class based on our score. So whats next?

Biking

When I think about what inspires me, I think about biking. I'm very passioate about bikeing. Dirt Jump, Racing, Down Hill, Free Ride, Trials, or even BMX. I love them all. Riding off of an 8' roof to flat grass trying not to break a bone and to stay on the bike. That's what gets me going. It's all about the experience and adrenaline, and occasionally a red bull or two. Biking can teach you about balence, stamina, physics, GRAVITY is a big one if you know what I mean, and pretty much any thing you can think off that has to do with a bike. For instance, when you're in the air, you can learn how to manuver your bike and sometimes save yourself from crashing if it's the case.
