One Day to Tell All

I think the video entitled One Day On Earth posted on Youtube is a very touching video. I really liked the video. So many things happen in one day you probably only know less than 1 % of what really happened in the whole world just that one day. Most of the things that happen are horrible and tragic things like death yet not all is sadness and grieving. A small part is happiness but nevertheless, you don not know when those things will happen to you so you should enjoy every second on your life. I guess that is what the message of this video is. You should enjoy every minute of your life and if you are one of the lucky people who have not suffered real grief, then forget your problems and enjoy your life. For those who are in grief, understand that there is only one life you live and you should enjoy it at its maximum. In my personal opinion, I think every person should follow this message.

In the video there was some guy with one leg but he is high jumping. This was a very powerful short clip. The guy who was legless comes to show you that no matter if you are somehow crippled, you can still achieve many things and by doing so, enjoy them. One video that I did not enjoy looking at and that it did not gave me such feeling was the busy corner in the city. There was really no feeling but nevertheless it was a great video.

L/100K per Car

Last day I was instructed to find out how much L/100K my parent's car used just to get me to school. Apparently, my car waste pretty much gasoline. Also, this is just for my parents drving me to school. My parents are busy people and are always on the road. I cant imagine Just how much is polluted and wasted.
We were also instructed to find out the L/100k of an energy efficient car. I was ashamed of my car when I found out about how much my car wasted compared to the energy efficient car. Now, imagine all the cars in the world doing the same or more than I do. My only comment is that this is not going to end well.

Apparently my car uses 16.8 L/100km and the nergy efficient cars use 7.8 L/100k. They use half as I do.
Also, I can see that oil sometimes is wasted like in the past year's oil spill. I do not consider this when I go into may car because I know that even if I get into my car or not, oil is still processed and might be spilled again. It would only be another incident in which I dont have authority of any kind.

Fuel Wasted

Every year I go to school about 185 days throughout the whole year. Mostly, I use a Chevrolet TrailBlazer. I've calculated how much many litters of gasoline I wasted per day approximately going to school from my home to there and from the school to my home. That result was multiplied by 185 and apparently I found out that I wasted 1087.8 L of gasoline approximately. My dream car which is a Mercedes-Benz (a city car), wasted even more than the TrailBlazer. The Mercedes wasted 1172.90 L of gasoline per year. This is 85.1 more litters than my actual car. With gasoline prices now, I approximately waste 1,000 dollars per year, and that is just my folks driving me to school. I can only say that it is no wonder the economy is so low.

2009 Mercedez-Benz (dream car)						18.1L/100k	3.17L	15.85L	586.45L	5278.05 pesos
Trail Blazer 2002 Chevrolet						16.8L/km	2.94L	14.7L	543.9L	4895.1 pesos
Ford Escape Hybrid 2011						6.9L/100K	0.5L	2.5L	92.5L	832.5 pesos
					Mazda Tribute Hybrid 2009	7.8L/100k	1.36L	6.8L	251.6L	2264.4 pesos

JOY

Recently, I bought a bunny as a pet in Mexico. I think that the most joyful thing I have done this year is play with th bunny and so on. Nevertheless, I would have liked to go skydiving and feel danger right next to me. Sadly, not everything becomes reality. So, if I weren´t to do these things and I should spend time with you, you might notice that I am a very good listener. These are some joyful things I have inn mind for myself.

Typing Reflection

Typing Master is a program used to improve the user's writing speed and accuarcy. In my case, it did work yet things sometimes went wrong. These things were that sometimes I dropped like 20 % of my scorebut this has its reasons. One problem the Typing Master had is that in my computer, I could only choose one course or in this case one "Essay" to do. It was tiresome doing the same thing over and over again. Nevertheless, my writing did improve. Still, I don't think this should be included in the ninth grade as I don't think I could improve more.

MAP

This is my Math MAP graph. This graph is the best that in my opinion, represents how to show these scores. This graph can also be used in many other things like the rate of growth of something or even more complicated things.








This is my Reading MAP scores. I don't think that this is the best suitable graph for showing scores of one host but what I think is that it should be used when comapring 2 different items or so. These two items or even more, should be something like effectiveness of something or those two items.













This is the Language MAP graph I did. This is actually not the most appropiate graph for showing these scores but it is more likely to show different products and their values or whatever they are showing off.

MAP Testing

MAP testing is something that students in United Sates do. This is also done in Mexico. That is the case for me and peers. MAP testings are usually very stressing and boring. Practically, the only thing that encourages me to do it well and not ust put random things (It doesn't count as you GPA in school) is that these scores can count on your further life like universities or so. Nevertheless, with all the stress caused by the test (They are very long), you still get satisfaction with seeing your scores (Of course, if they are good). This is the case for me. I love to see my peers have lower scores than I do and so I feel superior. That's one of the only thigns I like about MAP testing. Practically, the system is really good for making these tests and so I wouldn't change anything. I conclusion, these MAP tests are just another thing in school that stresses you.
