This week, we have been asked to respond to a classmates question which has already been responded too. I have four different ones I am to respond to.


For my first one, I will answer Brad's question that Malik has responded to.


Brad asked, "Have you ever worked so hard to get or to do something and it failed to happen?"
Malik responded, "To answer that question, i can say yes i have. Recently in fact. There was this math test that was coming up and it was worth a lot of points. I really want ed to do good on it so i started studying two nights before (its kinda hard to study for a math test alone). The day before the test I even stayed after school to practice some problems with my teacher. we practiced for about an hour and was feeling pretty confident about the test afterward. That night i practiced the same problems just to make sure i didn't forget how to do them. When test time came the next day I was feeling pretty confident and prepared. That was until I got the test handed to me. I looked at the problems and was almost immediately confused. I wasn't even able to finish the test before class ended. Ina couple of days we got are test back to see our grades. when i got mine back, i saw in red letters "35/70". I was so sad to see that grade. It was the first math test i have ever failed."


My response, "Malik is right. There have been many times that we have felt so confident about something, and it ended up bad. Last year in biology, I never got an A on my tests. Even when I felt super good about the test, it still came back and I got a C or lower. It was always upsetting because I had always been feeling good about it and it came back a bad grade. This year, it hasn't happened as much but it will still happen every once in a while." 




For the second answer, I am responding to Jay Lynn's response with Jason asking the question. 


Jason asked, "Do you enjoy high school?"
Jay responded, "I do enjoy high school for the most part. I believe this is one of the better high schools, because we are allowed to have some say in what we want to learn about and that makes it a much more enjoyable experience. Friends also help make the high school years that much better because the friends you make here help shape who you become and how the time her goes. But on the other side sometimes stress can get to you and it can come from anywhere such as over zealous parent, school work, peers, teachers, and even the sometimes overwhelming idea of the future." 



My response, "I agree with Jason about high school. It can be fun at times, but also very stressful at the same time. I know for me, friends have helped me with so much. Sometimes, there can be a lot of drama between people in high school. I do enjoy high school, besides the drama and homework. We have a lot of freedom at Carbondale High School and for the most part, pick what we want to do class wise. Most other schools don't offer this many classes and we are lucky to go to a school that does. High school has been a time where I have figured out who my real friends were and where I have started planning what I want to do with my life."




For the third, I am answering the question asked by Malik, responded to by Brad.


Malik asked, "have you ever done hat could drastically change your life and the lives if many others?" 

Brad said, "I have done something, that could have drastically changed my life, and my families.  It may sound stupid, but one thing that I do a lot, is ride my bike without my helmet.  This may not sound like a big deal, but if for some reason I was riding, and were to fall, and hit my head, I could be in serious trouble.  I could possibly even have brain damage, if the fall was serious enough.  If this were to Happening to me it would definitely effect me and my family. I guess in a way, I'm being kind of selfish."

My response, "I think everyone has done something that could change their life, whether they have realized it or not. Almost every kid has rode their bike without a helmet at least once in their lifetime. Regardless, most of them don't ever get hurt and nothing ever happens to them, but if there would have had something happen then their family would have been very upset."  

To answer the last question, I will answer Emily's response from Mykel's question.


Mykel asked, "What kind of affect does fast food have on your everyday life?"
Emily responded, "There are so many ways that fast food plays into your everyday life.  Whether it is sitting at home watching T.V or driving through town going by all of the restaurants.  There have been many times that I have wanted to stop by and grab a bit to eat at one of the fast food places since their food and drinks are so cheep.  I try and stop myself by realizing how bad it is for you.  It is also very convenient  if you are in a hurry and are needing some food just to pull into one of the many restaurants along the side of the road. So yes fast food does effect me everyday, and I know that it effects many other people in the same ways it effects me."


My reponse, "Fast food plays a role every day in your life. No matter if you eat there or not, you're usually still near one when driving by or see a commercial for it on television. In my life, fast food plays a decent role. After school, if I have time to kill, I will usually go by there and get something to eat or drink. Fast food restaurants are almost everywhere you look and not hard to stop in and get something real fast while you're on the go. Even though its very unhealthy, a lot of people still eat there everyday."
