Something New

Its been a day since I left the HEOP program at Mount St. Mary College. You would think after being away from home for so long, that I would be excited to head back. Don'y get me wrong I was extremely excited to see my family, friends, girlfriend and of course my bed but while I was on the train back home something was going on. As I pass the Bronx projects I couldn't help but feel sad. I realized that I wanted to go back, back to where I wanted to be, where I belong. I love the people in my neighborhood but not my neighborhood itself. That program opened up my eyes to show me that I don't want to live in the projects for the rest of my life. I want a better life for both my family and the new family I hope to create in the near future. I really miss my home away from home.

6 year old girl shark attack victim

A young 6 year old girl was attacked by a shark right in front of her own parents. Gladly the young Lucy Magnum came away with her life. Her parents were on the a beach in North Carolina around 5am - 6am as the sun was setting. Little Lucy was in the shallow water when she encountered the shark and that's when it happened, the shark probably saw little Lucy as food and attacked. The real heart warming part about this is Lucy's interpretation on the whole situation.

Algae in China?

China just got greener! China is overwhelmed with an enormous amount of algae recently. That's right over 200 miles of the yellow sea of China but don't worry though, this algae is completely safe. This seems to be an issue because not many know how this will affect the sea life of many sea animals. Also the over flooding algae might drop the rate of tourist in China.

 

Norway shoot out?

Norway seems to be a quiet country in Europe but that all ended on July 23, 2011. The shootout and car bombing by one man claimed 93 peoples life. Multiple families were in tears as they bury there families. The 32 year old pleads in court and states that "Yes my actions were atrocious but I feel they were necessary" He also states that "I fell that what I have done does not deserve any punishment." I have no idea what is going on in the world today and I bet the UN (The United Nations) will agree with me. All we can do is pray for the families who have lost there loved ones in Norway.

Where Is Toby Maguire?

That's right folks Toby Maguire is in fact not in the new Spiderman movie. A new actor named Andrew Garfield is in fact the new Peter Parker. This new film is more of a remake/remastered of the first Spiderman movie. The director of the new Spiderman movie is taking a different approach as he takes the viewers on a roller coaster ride by placing them in Spidermans body. Viewers will be given a chance to see what Spiderman see's when he is swinging on his web or scaling buildings. Just by the look of the trailer, I say its a must watch.

Creative Minds of the Youth

Every wonder if you can become a millionaire like Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook? Well three children from New Jersey did just that. Catherine, David and Geoff Cook created a website called myYearbook.com in 2005 and grossed over $33.6 million dollars. At the time David and Catherine were just reaching 15-16 so that shows how strong a young persons mind really is.

What are some strategic note-taking skills that have helped you study for exams?

Some strategic note-taking skills that I have used are the review skill. After class or on that same night, I take time to go back into my notes and quickly but skillfully review them. I feel this note-taking skill is the best of all the others because it allows you to process all the knowledge that you received.
