Eighth Grade

Wow, how the times have changed. I haven’t seen this blog in a few years. We always did a new school year post so here’s mine. 8th grade is a time you never see coming about to be out of middle school, WHAT? I loved my middle school years even tho last year was very different. COVID-19 kinda took over everyone’s lives but we made it thru. Im now back in school, we don’t have masks, and it’s kinda normal again. Hopefully, it stays this way.

 

Have a great day

List of Rules

Ike you are going to obedience school to learn your lesson. When you get back you will… 

  •  Stop chewing on my new clothes ; because that really upsets me and I don’t like to yell at you . If you don’t like to listen, you will go back!
  • Stop eating MY food ; I am a chubby person and I really need that food ya know so please just eat your own. If you try again , I won’t feed you any food for 2 days [ I think that’s safe]. 
  • Stop being a Hypochondriac. It is the whole reason you’re in that place you know. 
  • And last thank you for saving me. Never leave again . You really are a good dog.

Dueling Mandates in Yellowstone

Old Faithful is the most popular tourist destination in the whole park.   The only access into there is by snowmobile or snowcoach .Which if you don’t know is a big a large vehicle that lets you drive better in snow easier than walking. The use of them has gone up alot since the 1970s to more than 140,000 visitors per season since 1990s. It has become a big concern of some that they do a lot of bad things such as, pollution, use restrictions , group conflict , etc. . The dilemma is : How do you balance the parks dual mandates of preserving park resources while allowing access for the enjoyment of the people?  So I have many takes on this but one that i think will work the best is; Ban snowmobiles from the park and allow people to travel by snowcoach , skis, or snowshoe only. Now there are many things probably going through your mind ” that’s not right” ”you could do___” , and yes that’s right but it helps a lot and makes a lot of sense . So you can still use snowshoes and skis to help you walk in the snow so you may not fall as much. But  it’s not the greatest cause you can get injured on the snowshoes just as bad as a snowmobile . Which if you have a lot of friends/family [im sorry] you really want a snowmobile to just put everybody in and go.  One of few good things about this is snowmobiles pollute the air so it doesn’t help us much so maybe they should go away. Or maybe you wanna stay fit for your 2019 resolution walking with snowshoes mite be your thing. It will also make it much cheaper to get snowshoes than rent a snowmobile. Another big thing is that if your on a snowmobile they go really fast so  you cant go site seeing  like you can with  snowmobiles.

Andy Mineo

Andy Mineo is a Christian rapper . I admire him so much . He is so inspiring and shockingly wasn’t rich as a kid. I look up to him for inspiration and some good music. He is a Puerto Rican which is so cool and he has helped a lot of people when they were not Christian or just at their lowest . He and I are kinda alike cause we both love singing and getting super hyper / excited and we both wear glasses. We both love different sports and way different foods . Fun fact: Andy has been around for awhile but got famous off of some of his most recent songs and albums but my first song i heard was ‘ Ayo’ .

Women in the Revolution

Today I want to tell you about some very important women that I have been learning about. Emily geiger was my favorite person to learn about , she was a very determined person. Some of them called her General Greene how official. She was a very determined women which is a great trait to have in battle. My favorite thing about her is the fact that she hid little messages or sayings in her clothes.    Now i’m gonna tell you a little about Captain Molly she was at Fort Tryon . She had  a very sad childhood her mom was kidnapped and her dad was shot. I can’t imagine the pain she went thru.Something i’ve learned about all of these women is that they are all very determined in their mission or in there life.    Captain Mollys saying i guess you could say was Do what you want to be. Which I think means follow what you aspire to be.   Now another very super important person was Debora Samson she did a lot from what I know. The main thing I know of  is she disguised herself as a man if you know pocahontas from Disney it kinda reminds me of her/he , and she disguised herself to get into war cause at this time women were not what they are now so the men thought. She ended up with a lot of surgerys which in the process she met a french surgeon little[ fun fact for ya] . Before that she was a tutor [a person who teaches someone a subject there not good at] to 10 boys! That’s all the women I have learned about I really hope this helps you learn something new.
