six flags

PICTURE FROM HERE

My favorite ride at six flags is Mr. Freeze. I love all roller coasters, especially the ones that go upside down. Mr. Freeze used to start out forward and end backwards, but now they turned it around. Now it starts backwards and end forward. I also really like the Batman. Unlike many roller coasters, the car hangs from the track instead of riding on it. Also unlike many roller coasters, there are five people in each car and your feet hang off of the car.

sports

I love all sports, especially soccer and basketball. I have played soccer since I was in kindergarten. I played for Desoto until fourth grade, then I started playing CYC through our lady school. I also started playing basketball at a young age. The first time I ever played basketball, it wasn't for a real team. It was just to teach us how to handle the ball such as dribbling the ball and running down the court at the same time. After we learned how to keep control over the ball, we learned how to shoot the ball. I love basketball and soccer.

kid nation 5

group- There are four groups in kid nation yellow, green, blue, and red. Every week they all run an obstacle to figure out what group is upper class, merchants, cooks, and laborers. Upper class gets $1.00, merchants get $0.50, cooks get $0.25, and laborers get $0.10. Every kid has to do the best that they can to make the town a better place.

conflict- The council read more in the journal and it said something about having a reelection for the leader. There was some conflict between Anjay and Olivia because Anjay was a leader but Olivia doesn't like him to be leader. She ran against him in the election. Olivia is going around the district and telling everyone that they need to vote for her.

secondary group-Kid nation is a secondary group because they share a goal to clean up bonanza city. They all have to do their jobs in order to clean up the town. If they don't do their jobs then they wont be able to get the town cleaned up in 40 days. Every week they have an obstacle to go through to see who will be the upper class, merchants, cooks, and laborers. 

kid nation 7

deviance- Divad started a snack shop and some people got mad because she was taking food from the kitchen that anyone can get for free and she is selling it for $0.05. Jared decided that he thought it was unfair that Divad could sell food. He decided that he was going to sell food because Divad had no competition. Some of the kids started yelling at him and he got mad. He tipped over Divad's tables with all of her food.

deviant- Taylor is a deviant because she doesn't follow the rules that the council makes. For example, when the council decided to take the trash away from the town, Taylor was one of the people who was supposed to go and she refused because she said she had other things to do. When the town got back, Taylor was sitting around doing nothing. The council gave her a punishment and she refused to do it as well.

stigma- Taylor is lazy and doesn't want to do anything. She is afraid to get dirty. Everyone is sick of her sitting around, sleeping in, yelling at people, and doing nothing while everyone else is working really hard. All of the kids call her lazy, rude, and other names. 

kid nation 6

authority- Zach and Guylan are the new leaders. Guylan is the new leader for the red team and Zach is the new leader for the yellow team. Laurel and Anjay are still the leaders for the green and blue team. The council is the authority because they have power over the group.

cooperation- The council decided that the trash pile was getting disgusting so the council picked out some people to go to with them and pick up the trash and take it far away from the town and bury it. Taylor was one of the people that was supposed to go, but she didn't want to go so she stayed back and did nothing the whole time. When the council came up with a punishment, Taylor was supposed to collect water and fill up the tank. instead she filled up two buckets and poured them onto the ground.Taylor is not cooperating with the council.

groupthink- DK was going to go home because he was sick of all of the drama. Guylan talked to DK because the town needs him to stay. DK decided yo stay because he realized that everyone needed him and that everyone needs him and that he can't run away from his problems. He got the gold star and decided he was going to stay for the rest of the time.

kid nation 4

status- The council wants to put everyone into a big group, but no one likes that idea because everyone has different statuses such as religion. Some people are christian, some are Jewish,and other religions. They are trying to get everyone to go to church and learn that they aren't all that different. A couple kids got some people to come outside later that night to pray. Some people went but others didn't.

role- Everyone has a role in kid nation. There are four groups and each group has a certain job or role. Every week they have an obstacle to beat to decide which group gets to be upper class, merchants, cooks, and laborers. Every group has a job to do in order to fix up the town. if every group didn't have a role, the town wouldn't get fixed up as fast.

obligation-Some of the kids do not believe that taylor fulfills her duty as a leader. They say that she is too bossy and tells everyone what to do but she doesn't do her job.She thinks that being a leader is telling everyone what to do. Being a leader is helping people when they need help.

poorest president

picture from here

The poorest president in the world makes about $12,500 a year. This is a very low salary especially for a president, but what is even crazier is that he donates 90% of his salary to charity. I think this is crazy but at the same time it is amazing because even most of the richest people don't donate anything. I think more people should be like him so there wouldn't be as many people going hungry or without somewhere to live.
