I have always played soccer all my life its just what I do. So my prejudgement about helping out was I was excited to work with the little kids and teach them. I play division one soccer in a club and I travel everywhere to play my team is ranked third in the country. I could remember when I was young in the club and watching the big kids play and they would come and play with us. I just wanted to give it back to the club and help out so when I heard about the camp coming up I wanted to help out and be out on the field with them. So I can be one of the older kids in the club that they look up to. The other day my team had our celerbration and we recieved Team of the Year out of the entire club. I personally recieved Player of the Year. It felt good to be a good doing something I liked to to and help other in something Im really good at.
What I did to help out there was I showed up early to unpack everything first of all. Like the food and soccer stuff and tables and water and so on. Then me and the coachs got our game plan down for the day and how is coaching what and who is doing what at what time. I know the coachs very well most of them have coached me since I was little in the club. The kids got there and we had them warm up I led the warm ups while the coaches were setting up the field for drills. This was all day camp the kids ate fod at lunch and went back out to play some more soccer. Towards the end we had the kids play eachother it was not longer drills they were playing games against each other. When they were good and tired we had the coaches game. This is when the coaches play each other and this kids all get to watch and cheer on there favorite coach. And we do cool tricks and plays just to impress the young ones. Then after that we catch our breath well the coaches do they are older. But we talk to the kid and asked what they liked doing that day and tell them how they can improve there soccer skills. After that we had a cheer and then they all went home. Them the coachs and all of us come together and ask what we thought about the day and who we thought was a good player out of the little kids. And then we pack up and leave and come back the next the day. The kids return for another day and do pretty much the same but different. This camp was to build the skill of the youth teams in the club and just for there fun. Cause if they get the good ground work of a soccer player young they will be all that much better then they are older. And can compete at the higher level and go on to college to play thats our goal with these kids.
My evaluation on the camp is good I think everyone who went to the camp learned something new. It was a pretty big camp we had many kids come out both days to train. Some of the parents even stuck around to watch and eat as there kid was playing soccer. It was good it brought the coaches closer to the parents and that is important so they know what kind of person there child is spending three days a week with. The camp was well put together the coaches really knew what they were doing and the kids loved it from what I saw.
I actually got a lot out of this cause I wanna be a coach be a when I grown and coach little kid. I enjoyed being able to coach the kids nd teach them something that they had no clue how to do. The parents came up to me to say thank you and it just felt good tat they liked what I was doing. And later they saw me get the Player of the Year. Felt good to shear what I know im happy that I did it.

I think Mc Donalds is socially responsible, but then again they are not it depends on you look at. Being socially responsible is contributing to the welfare of society and not just focusing on making max profits. Mc Donalds has put money in to helping to society you see it on t.v. all the time on what Mc Donalds is doing to help different organizations through out the United States. I think that is a good thing they help the needy and the young kids. But is the food they feed to everyone healthy? There has been a movie made about them and the food they serve and what it can do to your body in just a short period of time. In a way that is not socially responsible on how bad there food is for you. But no one is making you eat there no one is making to eat the super size its a free country so if you eat it and get over weight. Who’s fault is it? The company that made the food or you for eating it. I think Mc Donalds is socially responsible they do help and donate money for good. Its just there food is not the healthest for you. Mc Donalds does try to put healthy items on the menu like salads and so on. So i do think they are socially responsible they make money and also help the people.

Communications with people is very important it run our world. It makes our life easier can you image having to write a letter to people that live for away from you? Thats what the people in the past had to do. We live in a very different world then the people of a hundred years ago. Communication is everything its the first thing you learn how to tell your mom or dad what you want. As you get older you start to use other thing to communicate like computer, phones, cell phones and fax machines. Now days we need these thing just to do the little thing that we really dont think about they are just there for us to us. But somthing so simple like the cell phone wasnt there thirty years ago. Thats something that kids have in what? middle school and almost all high schoolers have. Kids now days need to stay connect with everyone we have grown up with the electronics. The inventors have been taking it to the next level every year for the world to feed on.
There has always been inventors in our history making things and stuff to improve our life. One single great invention was the phone. Phones are amazing to be able to call someone across the world if you want to and talk to them. How is that possible to do? or even a simple call to your dad asking whats for dinner tonight. Phone has always changed from a big block on a wall to a big block in your hand. And now some are tiny and some and a regular size, there are all different kinds of cell phones. There are even phones that you can look at a screen and see who you are talking to. Elecrtonic communication are always changing everybody want the smaller and better thing. So whats next? The next inventor to change the world could be that little kid in third grade right now just sitting in class.
You cant write about electronic communications and not talk about computers can do just about anything we tell it to do. Computer are getting small and can hold more like the new ipad that Apple just cam out with a little bit ago. Communicating with electronics can also be a bad thing cause everything you say can stay out there for everyone to see. If you are making fun of someone or thinking that it might not be okay to say. Think twice before you put it out for the world. Electronic communications work differently once its out its out for everyone. Even if you delete it, it very well might still be out there. You see it happen to the rich and famous all the time they do something that they are not truely proud of. And the next minute its on the internet and being watched by everyone. Electronic communication cane be use for good and bad it depends on the person and how much they know about the thing they are using to communicate with. So you just have to be safe with what you are saying cause in text sarcasim and irony is hard to pick up if you dont know the person saying it. People have gotten fired because of what they have said on Facebook and it gets back to the boss. Electronic communications runs our lives if you like it or not its just a fact unless you live out in the middle of nowhere, but if then it still effects you somehow.
In conculsion the way you communicate with people has changed and will continue to change as long as people are getting smarter and wanting the best. Its has both very good and very bad things with electronic communication, but everything has a good and bad. Next time you send a massage to someone around town or around the world you are using electronic communication. Fifty years ago you would not be able to do that its amazing. So to sum it up the next better thing will be coming out for communicating. With out electronic communiations lif would be just a little bit harder for us they help and make you famous or it can hurt and ruin you.

As you all know Pac- Man had it 30th birthday this month. So Google put a little game on there home page to show it off. On average the google visitor play the game for 36 second the game they had on there front page. They added up all the time and it came to a crazy 4.8 million hours wasted playing Pac-Man on friday. They also added up some more stats like 4,819,352 man-hours and a whopping $120,483,800 in lost productivity. Thats really crazy if you think about it. Google something that almost everyone goes on, we all played the game I know I did that day in class. On average 36 second a person just that little time added up to 4.8 million hours wasted thats pretty bad. Google was also getting tons of e- mails oh how to stop the game and the theme music to it. So Google shot the music off to the game later that day. I can see why cause I had a class and we were on the computers in the morning and we all had to do research for our class. And we almost all go to Google and we saw the game and just started to play our teacher didn’t like that. So i can see why Google got all kinds of e- mails about that. Its amazing what you can put up for everyone to see and they will do it or play it like the game. I think it was funny that they put it up there its thinking outside the box.

American Samoa is on of the smallest islands in the Pacific ocean. I bet most people could not find American Samoa, its a lil further than Hawaii in the Pacific ocean. They dont have much on the island, work is hard and does not make a lot of money. They are born to play football to have the size,speed, power and agility. You add that all up and you have one hell of a football player. Well these are the kind of players that American Samoa are producing to the National Football League (NFL). People with samoan decent are 56% more likely to make to the NFL, American Samoa produces more NFL players than anywhere else in the United Sates. Football is the heart and soul of the island. To see the video I saw on football and samoa it was by CNN click here. Its a touching story about some of the young men on the island.

Recently in school we have been studying the constitution and the laws. And about the health care bill that has been passed the steps you have to do to make a bill or law official. These are things that many people in America dont know. As well as other laws we do not know such as, if you get pulled over by a cop. And he ask to search you car and he finds nothing and wants to look in your trunk you can say NO! and he is not allowed to go in your trunk. I did not know this they have to have a reason and if they dont you can say no and thats that. You can get pulled over for almost any little thing it all kinda depends on the mood of the cop that day its sad but true. I mean you always have you good days and bad days but it could also cost you.

March Madness is a big time in college basketball. Its the show time the biggest tournament they have all year every player wants to win. Before the tournament the teams are have there rankings. The higher your rank is means your a better team? and picked to win the whole thing. The is year that is not the case the number one ranked team lost early and there have been many upsets early so who knows whats gonna happen its anyone tournament. Number one ranked Kansas lost early it was a huge upset that was not suppose to happen. This is kinda the story of the tournament there have been many upsets. My coach tells me to never get comfortable never he has always said that to me and now i know what he is always talking about. I would always mock him and say coach we win im comfortable. He would have some of his college players come out to our practices to play with us and we would play right with them. But now that I think about it he is right and that can go with everything never let yourself get to comfortable or you can never grow if your always in your safety net. Just like the March Madness I think the top ranked teams got to comfortable and didnt perform to the level to win there game. My coach brought the college players to make me play at there level to not get comfortable. The is could also go with school work if you get too comfortable ad not do your homework your grade goes down. There is also another line that has been said to me and I dont really like it but my dad says there is always someone better than you. That goes hand in hand with dont get too comfortable. So always strive for more and to be more.

Rancho my school that I have gone to for four years now. It has its good and bads, but what school doesnt? its only human. Every school has its groups you cant stop it I mean if you cant fit in tough luck sorry. From what i have seen Rancho is a pretty friendly school I dont see any people getting picked on. We just all go on about doing our own thing from what I see. The foreign students that come to our school rancho I always go and say hi and where they are from. And they all seen to like it at rancho and they aren’t bias to our school cause they dont know the “rumors” and they get along with everyone. We have a good student body they are very committed to having good spirt and a fun time. Our field the biggest and nicest around here. Why would such a bad school get such a nice field? Our staff that works at the school work hard and and get along with the kids at school they will come talk to you its chill. Maybe not all of they staff is cool, but what can you do. No saying Rancho is amazing cause its not lets be real there are drugs and fights and what not, but are theses problems that dont happen else where? Cause I hear similar rumors from other schools, so why does rancho get bad mouthed so bad? I say dont say things unless you have seen it or it has happened to you first hand.

What do you think about abortion? is it good is it bad? Well there is a lady that put her abortion her very own abortion on youtube its getting attention from the news and people all over. This lady even blogged details about her ordeal, its on twitter also. She took a pill and it makes it just like a miscarriage she says this is a very heated topic. People are mad and thanking her for doing what she did. Is it right to take a life that hasn’t begun yet? Not too long ago there was a commercial with Tim Tebow and his mother talking about abortion. It was going against abortion Tebow’s mother was told to get an abortion but didnt. Now that kid she would have never had if she went though with it is a heismen winner and one of the best QB’s in college history. The counter for that is Hitler if he was never born we would have have had the holocaust. It could go back and forth all day it depend on your morals or what you think is right. Cause in the end its your body no one else’s but yours not saying it’s right but not saying its wrong. This topic is still being talked about and in congress.
