The Horror of SSI Science (ID)


http://www.angelfire.com/scifi2/zpt/images/bohr.gif
   To me SSI (9th grade science) is my worst subject out of all. The reason I say this is because I just don't get it. For example on my quarter final for this class there was a question that asked me to draw the bohr model of three elements. In my mind I was telling myself that I knew and that it's on the tip of my tongue, but it never came to my mind. Instead I chose a strategy that always works and it is to guess! The next day my friend and I were talking about how we think we did on our finals. I felt a little cocky and said that I might have gotten an A because to me I thought most of the questions were pretty simple. When we got our quarter finals back I couldn't believe my eyes. "Oh my goodness I got a D!" I said in my head. I felt a little better because only one person got an A on the test. As progress reports were about to be sent to my parents I tried to think of ways to make my grade not sound so bad. Like by saying a lot of students failed on their test. At home my mom calls me with an angry tone in her voice. I tried explaining why I got a D and why I got it by sugarcoating it. The only solution to this problem was to redo the test. To my surprise there were about twenty more kids that wanted to redo the test. I studied like crazy for this so I'd bound to get a better grade on this. As the twenty kids and I take the redo I was so lucky because the question that asked me to draw a bohr model was removed! It felt like a happy aura was around me that made me confident. When we got our test back I was shaking in fear to see my grade. When I got it I covered it with my hand so I couldn't see it. Slowly I took my hand away to see my grade.....I got a B! To me that was good enough for a quarter grades to be even though I was planning to be a straight A student.

Is it a Bird, Is It a Plane, No It's FOOD!! (PB)

Super Food. "Food saves lives too"
    Food...hmm. You're probably wondering what kind of passion is food because it's just food. Food is actually like super heroes to me, but i didn't realize this until some of my friends tried to help me think of a passion for my blog. When one of them said food it made me think of reasons of why it should be passionate to me. One reason is that they are good for your growing body. Most people have different taste buds so most food I probably like are different from what you like. Here are just my opinions of food that like that are very healthy or just plain delicious.

Delicious:                                         
  1. Salad
  2. Burger
  3. Ice Cream
  4. Rice
  5. Egg
 Here are some that are just gross in my opinion...
Gross:
  1. Brussels sprouts
  2. Onions
  3. Fats off of meat
  4. Snail
  5. Spiders
      Yes I said spiders because I heard that people from places in Asia like to eat weird kinds of food like like scorpion, spiders, and....DOGS. Another thing to remember is that you'll never know until you tried it. For example brussels sprouts are probably gross, but the good thing about it is that it is healthy just like every food a person hates. Another example is when my dad bought food from Jumbo Buffet and in it there were mushroom.The reason I didn't want to eat it was because of how it looked. It was light brownish with blackness under the mushroom top. While I was eating my dad told me to try some, so when I ate one of the mushrooms hesitantly.... I actually liked it. After that one I wanted to try more and more. This may sound a little cliche, but the lesson here is that you shouldn't judge a food by it's color or looks. Every vegetables, fruits, dairy foods, and etc are really like super heroes because they're nutritious, delicious, and very healthy.
