Midterm week

Lovely week, because this is midterm week yes. I feel so comfortable about this, as the result of I can get my freedom after this week. Actually, I always have headache when I have midterm in local school. There would be more than 6 subjects need to be prepared, however, it was tough for me to get every subject done. Therefore, pressure gradually came up, I became stressful eventually. The happiest memory in my mind about the final or midterm was happened when I was grade four or three. I still remember that I got 2nd in my class which made me so happy. In fact, I never got 1st for final or midterm so far, but I think not everything depends on grade. Something is the grade can't replace, such as social life, basketball skills, a sense of humor.  This is might be one of the reason that I love American System very much, because students usually not compare their grades with each other. Thus, they study for themselves, not for others which is a real spirit of studying. Nowadays, students become competitive in order to be better than others. They do not want to loss, they do not want to embarrass themselves, they do not want to see others' advantages. Those kind of students are pathetic as the result of they look other negatively, so they must be negative either. Negativeness bring many unflattering materials such as your mind tend to be jealous easily and you do not want to see others are better than you, which happens inappropriately. On the other hand, positiveness can be another tough challenge for us as well. We are required to see others positively, so the first thing you need to changed is yourself. For instance, positive mind can see positive things. Positiveness is the best energy in this world, it brings confidence, courage and the most important thing a sense of humor. Without a sense of humor, people won't laugh, they calm, not interested at all which is banal. As a consequence, we need to manage many things in order to have a positive mind. School is a good place to practice your social life, because we chatting with friends not only during the class but also in lunch time. Therefore, be outgoing,then you can make as many friends as you wish which makes your life better.

Nice weekend

Another awesome weekend just pass, oh ya. This weekend, I finally did some important things. I meant, you know it was important to me. I went to movie theater and watched "The Three Musketeers", I enjoyed the movie very much. Even though I was unwilling to go watch it at first time, I felt I made a good option. As we know "The Three Musketeers" regarded as one of the most famous novel in this world. Despite I haven't read the novel yet, I think I will start to be interested in reading its novel. As the result of the movie didn't finish the entire novel, so if we want to know the ending, you will have to finish the rest of novel by our own, which is good for me. I can practice my English ability and have a good improvement by reading novel frequently. Lovely, fortunately, hopefully, and luckily, I went to movie theater today, I learned mistakes from characters' experience, challenge. That was one of the reason why I love watching movie. So next week, ya it's midterm week, AWESOME. Eventually, midterm week is coming, the only thing I am worry about it's Mr Dahl's class grade. I was unable to see my so far grade, therefore, I have no idea what is my recent grade. I was afraid that the grade will be unexpected. But I think I did a good job at this class, the grade won't be unflattering .

Best Halloween ever

YA! Today is Halloween, and I was so excited because I didn't participate in this activity last year for some reasons. In the morning, I wore hat that I didn't want anyone to see my new haircut, because that would be a surprise a afternoon's performance. Unfortunately, I can't join my team's show, because I had to stand in haunted house and been ghost for entire afternoon.  Okay. So I had to put white paint on my face, drew some nails, and big red lips in order to be scary. I think my make up was successful, because even I felt creepy of it. Show time! Every one got on their position and prepared scare people. I didn't think we did a good job on scaring the first and second set of people, however after few set of people, we became expert in this areas that we almost scared every set of people. I think if you want to freak someone out, the thing you like to hear most will be their scream. Scream was indispensable ingredient in haunted house, and we like to their funny face when they freak out. Every set of people are interesting, some of them were easy to scare, conversely some of them felt nothing and wouldn't get scare at all. Maybe, they were freak out, but they stood clam intentionally that they didn't want to be embarrass in front of other, however I could tell their frightened face obviously. Anyway, we were very happy that some many people participated in haunted house, although it was extremely scared that even I didn't really want to go in. And we had a successful ending ultimately which made me feel satisfying and sense of achievement. Everyone displayed their creativity today, they dressed as special as they could which showed the spirit of Halloween. I will like to participate in Halloween next year, and I hope I can still be a ghost in haunted house again.

My hair!!!

Today was important to me, I had to complete two great tasks. One, we had exciting baseball final game in the last period for PE class. Why this game was so important to me? because this game affected your midterm grade, winner got A- loser got B- which was pretty cruel. Therefore, we couldn't become slack and concentration was necessary. There we go! the game started, and we were going to play offensive first. First minutes later, we couldn't get any points and there were three people out already! Our situation kind of looked bad, but we never give up, we play with steady and confident. They got three points at first game swiftly, but we did a good job on defense, so we quickly got our opportunity back. The situation was getting good, now our points tie. Then, everyone got excited because of another HOME RUN was coming out. This time, four points in the pocket. HOME RUN constantly came out, one and two points. Now we changed our situation, the score was 12 to 3 which made us excited. Then, it's my turn, !!! the ball flied far away. Oh it was another HOME RUN, afterwards Godwin hit the other HOME RUN as well. Thus, we got 14 points ultimately. My team were so crazy that we got the highest score ever and we got A- too. This event was just piece of cake for me, after school, another big event were waiting for me which made me so nervous. I was going to shave my head for Halloween, maybe this behavior was unnecessary. I could just put some Halloween decoration on my body and that's it. But I chose to shave my head, one reason was our captain just shaved his head recently, which was cool and showed powerful. In addiction, some of our basketball team members determined to shave our head together right after today's practice. First, we were looking for suitable hat every where, because we didn't want anyone to see our hair before Halloween performance. So we decided to wear hat until that period. After shaved my head, I felt relax and proud of my, because I finally overcome my fear which was a good experience for me.

Musical Production and Halloween is coming

Halloween is on Thursday, however I am going to be a ghost in hunting house which is quite excited. I just know that my character is main male role in that story that I think it is pretty cool. The image of my role is kind of like white face and some nails stick on my face which looks a bit creepy, but this is Halloween so creepy is necessary. Hunting house is so scary and exciting, decoration there are creepy and the story that we are going to perform in there shows that can make people scream or yell. I believe most of people will freak out in hunting house, as the result of student council did a good job on showing Halloween spirit that decoration are so vivid and scary. Now, I would like to talk about some musical experience, I enjoy this class very much. Every time, we will do different activities such as some interesting game that I never played before, or some nice post of warm up. I think students can practice their courage by showing your opinion and acting with each other. Courage is important, because people need this ingredient in order to show themselves, otherwise no one will know what they are thinking about. Courage is also useful for charismatic leadership, I never seen any leader that is shy and always hesitate, they always show their mind or opinion. So I think after musical's activities give me a good opportunity to improve my courage, and I feel less shy when I stand in front of audience or many people.

Basketball team

After three constant games, we need to take a show break in order to keep moving on. At today's practice, we only warm up and play full-court directly which is pretty good without conditioning. I didn't like doing conditioning before, because I was tired of it. But now... not anymore, I realized how far is our basketball ability to other schools. I determined to take our points back in December's game, so conditioning and pushing ourselves are necessary. Furthermore, we need a new strategy that can reinforce our offensive and rebuild our position in defense. We got lots of stuff need to accomplish, but the certain thing is we won't give up until we become a successful team. The good thing happen in our team is everyone will encourage each other, even though we lost the game. For December's game, most of basketball members are going to shave their head which is symbolize we love basketball enthusiastically. In December, we are going to see many things such as improvement, teamwork, confidence, encouragement, and organization. Many things need to work on, I expect our victory is coming.

Yani Tseng

LPGA takes place at SUNRISE driving range in Taiwan which is meaningful to us. Yani Tseng is regarded as one of successful golf player in the world. She is youngest golf player who won the first championship when she was nineteen. Yani Tseng is so famous and popular, as the result of she won five majority championship and is contemporary ranked number 1. Yani Tseng is Michael Jordan in golf.  Today, my family and I went to SUNRISE driving range in order to see queen of golf Yani Tseng. Fortunately, we saw her soon while she was practicing. Even though I prefer basketball, I was so excited that Yani Tseng was just stand in front of me. The feeling was like Kobe Bryant stood in front of you which was very exciting. There were lots of people at SUNRISE, however we found a suitable place that we could see Yani Tseng clearly. At second hole, Yani Tseng played absolutely wonderful game which made me feel satisfied and worth to watch this game. Afterwards we could have much opportunities to see Yani, because the weather was too hot and people were crowded. Food there were extremely expensive, they almost cost two times more than the original prices. When we left SUNRISE, Yani hadn't finish her game. Even though we were not there, we still followed the information of her score. At first Yani and no.2 player's score were very close, however Yani pulled apart the score by playing steadily. Eventually, Yani had won the game and strive honor for us.

Big air ball today hahah!

Yes, we won the game, Finally!   We enjoy the victory very much! This is the second time we won the game since I participated in basketball team. However this time is kind of special, because I am starter! Even though, we won the game, I didn't feel so happy. Because I didn't do a good job on offensive, but I think I did a pretty good job on defense. I tried my best to block, get rebound and steal~ I think today's victory is a good sight for our team because we got another important game to win tomorrow! Keep practicing, after today's game I learn that we have to keep pushing ourselves, no matter what. My dream is just there, and I think if I keep working hard, one day.. one day I will reach that! Now, I promise myself "Never give up" Nothing can stop me, not getting lazy anymore. At this moment, my motivation is "after one year, see how much have I improve" Just do myself, don't affect by other people. I believe that I can accomplish what I want, and I have clear thought that I know what I am doing. Challenge myself Willy.

Game is coming

Not only basketball team but also teachers' tournament is coming. This week, I supposed to sleep earlier, but I went to bed like 3:30, which affect my strength and I would unable to run full-court. I can feel that my strength is decreasing because it necessary for my liver to take break during 11:00 to 2:00, however I didn't. This week I made a poster about Steve Jobs, and I chose ten of his advantages which I admire. Originality, Intelligent ability, Circumspection, Insistence, Brilliant businessman, Creativity, and I forgot some of them. I think insistence is the most important talent for me. For instance, I supposed to write an essay for my blogger everyday, but I already miss yesterday and today's, and I had been not studying vocabulary since we finished official PSAT test. People sometime get lazy, for example, when you feel tired, the devil from you heart will appear and tell you "Hey, go to bed or stop doing assignment". Sometimes devil will win, so people need to overcome the devil or even destroy it! I guess that why students need teacher to push them, if Mr. Dahl didn't say we have to type blogger everyday, I believe not many students will type it. My conclusion is students actually can do many things, but they lack motivation that they can't push themselves. Sometimes, people say "Oh, I can't do it", conversely they are saying that "Oh, I don't want to do it" Everyone has good abilities to accomplish many things, however some of them are just lazy.

Rest.

Sometimes, I feel I lost my goal and destination. I don't really know how to maintain the a good positive feeling, and balance everything in my life...... I always affect by others easily and I clearly realize this disadvantage, but it just different to overcome...... I think the thing that influence people most is there mind, the thing in your thought and the way you look others. Sometimes, a frustration might give me a motivation to push myself. However this motivation can not be maintained ! I think insistence is important in my life, never give up and concentrate on what you want. Sometimes, this week I sleep late like 3:30 am. I understand that it's not good for my health, but I feel that I can have more studying time. I want to say I feel so tired, actually I don't have to be this tired, but I always give pressure to myself and have a high goal which doesn't seem it can be achieved easily. As always, sometimes I feel I am successful on something, sometimes I feel I fail on many things. It hard to balance school work and social life for me. So I guess I need to push myself up and try to get back to my road in order to let my dream come true and accomplish my goals.

Do animals have right?

Do animals have right?

            Humans depend on animals for many things but the way we treat them raises some important moral question. There are more than one hundred thousand animals dead in Taiwan because of experiments. In modern times, there are many issues of animal rights. However, the concept of animal rights doesn’t mean they should have all the same right human. For instance, animals naturally can’t vote. So animal right only ensure them by laws in order to avoid people who abuse animals.

            Dr. Jane Goodall is a famous animal conservationist who has been investigating chimpanzee life for fifty years and has corrected many academic misunderstandings about chimpanzees. She realized that chimpanzees are not as docile as we once thought, sometimes, they will make a group in order to hunt others prey which is strikingly similar to what human beings, and chimpanzees also have a social class in their society. However they will try to strive for higher social class just like us. Once, Goodall found that chimpanzees made tools to retrieve ants from an anthill. This discovery shattered the concept that “only humans can make tools”. As Goodall states, there’s a close relationship between humans and chimpanzees. She also said the similarity between chimpanzees and human’s genes are above 98.5%. In 1977, Dr. Goodall established a research center in order to spread wild animal conservation and environmental education to the whole world. In 1984, Dr. Goodall has set up a zoo in order to keep chimpanzees that were illegally hunted by hunters, and this is also the biggest chimpanzee research center in the world. As we know, Dr. Jane Goodall has strived many rights for chimpanzees which let others people know we should be respectful to animals, because some of them have feelings just like us.  

            The issue of animal experiment action can be discussed very widely, as we know from dissect frogs to duplicate sheep Dolly. According to G.KUsters (1933) states, until 1900, there were sixty Nobel Prizes giving to people who invented new medicine successfully and discovered the function of medicine. However, animals have participated in every experiment which means animals had big contributions for us to resist diseases and prolong our life. In contrast, their sacrifices for our health become our reasons to keep doing animal experiment. Thus, scientists have noticed this moral problem, and they spend lot of money to replace animal experiment. In this way scientists can get the same result of research as well. Actually, in 1959, Russel and Burch published a book called “The Principles of Human Experimental Technique”. In this book, they contend three points of doing animal experiment: replacement, reduction, and refinement. Three points basically mean scientists will try to replace animal experiments by spending lot of money, reduce animal experiments as many as they can, and make experiments more refined. As awareness of animal rights developed, scientists began to follow these three points in America and Europe.

            Even though laws don’t endow animal right as same as humans, there are many laws designed to ensure that animals are mistreated by people. In England, America and France, after people die, they can establish a philanthropic fund to ensure their pets’ life. In 1992, Switzerland has passed a law that states that animals are “beings” and not “things”, and Germany has ingrained animal rights in their constitution. Moreover, in Israel, the government prohibits students from dissecting animals and forbids animal performances in circuses. Most people think chimpanzees have high wisdom, and chimpanzees are able to determine their situations. If their freedom limited by someone, they will feel depress as same as us, conversely, there are some animals that only have simple nerve system such as jellyfish. Jellyfish’s structure is only kind of more complicate than a mechanical arm, which means they are unable to make decisions or they don’t even know if they have rights or not. Strictly, if we are talking about animal rights, there is no harm in grouping jellyfish with vegetables. How do we judge what kind of animals should have rights? So far, there are no specific standards, but we can say with certainty that we have to respect to animals without mistreating and abusing them.

            Believe it or not, people are similar to some animals such as chimpanzees, and we should be respect to animals because some of them have emotion and feelings just like us. Many organizations and people have strived for animal rights. However the concept of animal rights is not the same as human rights. Nowadays, scientists spend much money in order to use other experiment to replace animal experiment. Not only scientists but also we as the public have to respect to animals and protect them from being mistreated or abused. In this way, the argument of animal rights will reduce and our society will be more harmonious and satisfactory. . 

Lottery

Lottery

           

            Did you know the possibility winning lottery? Is that true people can win lottery by their skill? In this busy society, some of people are eager to become billionaire. As the result, they spend money on lottery tickets and have sweet dream on winning million or even more.

            Believe it or not, in single states lotteries usually have odds of approximately 18 million to 1, and multiple states’ odds will be as high as 120 million to 1 which is a big. Let’s makes this impossible possibility as other accident, for instance, the classic odds of being struck by lightning which seems unlikely happen. As the Nation Safety Council states there were between 70 to 120 people died by lightning in U.S. Provided that we take average 100, and population of U.S approximately 265 million. That means the chance of being killed by lightning roughly 2650000 to 1. However, it still 6 to 45 times more possible to die from killed by lightning than winning the lottery tickets.

            Actually, people need to be skillful in order to increase the possibility of winning lottery. Here, we only analysis on “Lottery number selection”. As we know, most of people will not bet a bundle on one horse before they study its previous performances. Wall Street analyst always do handicapping which means they analysis past data first, then determine the future prize trends, in order to against other investors. In this case, we analysis the past action of common winning lottery numbers to help us determine which one has greatest possibility of being drawn.  People should pick number that happens frequently, if something rarely or never happened before, as a common sense tells you shouldn’t choose that number. Suggesting that people should avoid picking consecutive number such as 1-2-3-4-5-6, as the result of it never happened on any states or international lotteries, and it will happen this week just because you put your money on it!

Therefore, some set of number is not impossible at all, however, we should choose the number which happens frequently in order to have bigger possibility to win lottery.  Furthermore, if you see many lotteries game, you will know it pointless to choose the same number weeks after weeks such as you won’t bet your money on a horse which has lost already lost 50 races.

            Those data are just roughly examining the possibility of winning lottery. However people shouldn’t spend too much money on lottery in order to become billionaire in one night. In my opinion, people should work step by step and put effort on what you should concentrate on, if people want to be successful by luck, which is happen rarely. So stop dreaming, and work harder to achieve your goals. 

Facebook

Facebook

            I can’t image that I don’t have Facebook to use for I week. Facebook is the most popular social networking service in the world, and it helps people build their friendship by contacting with other easily. For instance, we can see friends’ photos or chat, bug them, and we also can play game with friends on Facebook.

            Mark Zuckerberg is the founder of Facebook, who studied in Harvard University. Mark and his college roommates built this system collaboratively and it soon widely spread to other college in Boston areas, Ivy League and Stanford University. Later, it gradually supported by various universities before it open to high school students, eventually, to anyone who 13 age and over. However as consumers report states, there are 7.5 million children who under 13 have Facebook account which is violating site’s terms.

            In the movie “Social Network” Mark Zuckerberg created the site called “Facemash” after she broke up with his girlfriend. Mark Zuckerberg hacked the protect areas and copied houses’ private of dormitory ID image in order to use these photos. The site will show two girls picture in the same time and ask which one is hotter and it attracted 450 visitors and 22000 photo-views in the first four hours which was very brilliant for a sophomore student in Harvard.

            Mark Zuckerberg was in trouble when he built “Facebook”. Initially, there were three Harvard senior invited Mark Zuckerberg to create another social network cooperatively. Conversely, Mark was intentionally to join them and tried to steal their ideas from his own website. As the result, these three Harvard senior complained to Harvard Crimson and filed lawsuits against Zuckerberg, subsequently settling.

            Facebook members were gradually increase and it widely expand to other areas such as high schools, companies even continents. Nevertheless, Facebook was changed from The Facebook by Sean Parker’s advises. Anyway, this social networking service has become the most visited website. Most of people around us are using Facebook and you can also build a better friendship with someone by adding him/her as friend.

            Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg and his three college roommates. Although there were some trouble during Mark Zuckerberg was building this popular site, it became successful ultimately. Nowadays, people can contact with their friends easily without using cellphone or meeting them. Facebook was regards for the most popular social networking service in this century. 

Getting higher score on SAT test

Getting higher score on SAT test

Did you know the way to improve your SAT score? How to study to get the most effective result? “Victory is sweetest when you’ve known defeat” Most of students who preparing for SAT are usually face to a difficult point that their score cannot go higher.

SAT students usually ask “how should I prepare for SAT?” First, you need SAT prep test book which is available in many book store. Afterwards, seeking out what questions you got wrong and analysis which weak areas you still need working on. SAT prep books are useful and helpful that includes the practices with answers and explanations.

After we done diagnostic test, we can clearly figure out which part is our weakness. It could be math, critical reading or writing, and make a specific SAT studying plan that you need to put effort and concentration on it. If you get bored easily, then you can try to separate them for different days such as Monday focusing on critical reading and Tuesday working on math.

Second, vocabularies are absolutely important for SAT, especially in critical reading. The best way to increase your improvement, people should use flashcards or internet program in order to remember SAT vocabularies. Conversely, it’s unnecessary for people to remember so many words at one time. In general, we only have to remember 30~50 words per day and try to review them in the end of week. And the weekly review is usually crucial, as the result of you can recall your memory and become more familiar with those words.

At the math section, you have to make sure you understand every mistake before you moving on the next one. It is hard to work on your weakness, on the other hand, the more mistakes you fix during the practice the fewer mistakes you make on the test day. In this case, your score will get higher.

SAT students can read the article such as “The Wall Street Journal” in order to improve critical reading. While you are reading, you have curiosity about what style are author writing in, opinion and report? These are typical question in critical reading.

SAT students have to know some tricks about how to make correct answers on writing section. Furthermore, you can trust your ear, if you think the sentence sounds right, and then the answer probably will be correct. Again, “The Wall Street Journal” is a good material book to us which can improve not only critical reading but also writing skills. As for essay, we need to make a plan before we start writing our essay. In this way, you can flow smoothly and you will know what exactly you are going to write about.

As a consequence, people need to overcome their weakness at different sections, the more weakness we fix the more improvement we get. We have to step by step and put the effort as much as you can. We also need to avoid procrastination, as the result of more work you done better result you get. 

Internet in our lives

Internet in our lives

            Did you know when did internet establish? Where was WWW come from? And what influences that internet has caused so far. Nowadays, internet is playing a part of significant role in our lives. Human-beings use internet not only makes their lives conveniently but also makes their work effectively.

            The origin of internet started from 1960s, United States Government was commissioned to build distributed and fault-tolerant computer network with cooperation and private commercial interests. Few years later, Nation Science Foundation replaced the United States Government and became the new backbone of America. It has successfully improved the development of computer network and helped to spread network widely. In this case, the populations of using computer network were increasing until now. As the record states, approximately one quarter of population on the earth use the services of internet.

            Internet is a global system, which serves more than billion users in the world. And internet constituted by private, public, academic, business or government network. The internet spread successfully as the result of it linked by wireless and optical network technologies. It carries an enormous range of information and network sources, and the most familiar one to us is “World Wide Web” (WWW).

            In this modern time, internet has replaced implements in our lives. For instance, we can use the functions of telephone or video call by computer network instead of using our cell phone. Computer networks open another commercial market that gives more opportunities for people who are looking for jobs. Some familiar works on the internet such as online shopkeeper or website owner. “Google” and “YouTube” are two of the most famous companies which became successful by computer network.

            As the consequence, people use internet frequently in this society in order to work effectively and live conveniently. Internet was established in 1960s until now, and it estimated that there are more than one quarter populations on the earth are using the service of computer networks. Internet has brought good commercial opportunities for people and made our lives better.

Is it better to make a bad decision than no decision at all

Third essay for my blog, I hope Mr. Dahl already read the first and second essays~

Is it better to make a bad decision than no decision?

From ancient time to present, people make decisions of varying importance every day. Decisions can be right or wrong, however it is usually judged by personal value. Whether it is right or wrong, people shouldn’t make no decisions just to avoid negative consequences.

            Warren Buffet is widely regarded as one of the most successful investors in the world. During the financial crisis, most people were afraid to invest. However, Buffet was part of the minority that continued to invest. Although this behavior has caused many blames on his part, he became successful in the end.

           People who don’t make any decisions are like sailors going along with the ocean waves without a destination. Conversely, people making bad decisions may cause an even worse outcome. After bad experiences, people will learn more skills about how to overcome different situations, making them stronger.

            Mackay’s Moral quote, “Don’t be afraid to make a decision. Be afraid not to make a decision.” According to this quotation, people need to advance in order to improve themselves. In contrast, if you stand at origin in order to shun worse results, you will never have the chance to become successful.

            People should make decisions instead of taking no decisions. No matter if the decisions are right or wrong, we shouldn’t be afraid to choose just to keep away from trouble. Improvement is caused by challenges to oneself. On the other hand, if we make no decisions, we are unable to learn anything or achieve our goal. Thus people can become stronger by making decisions. Even though the bad decisions might bring about the worst situations, we can always fix it and move on. One day, we are able to overcome tough challenges and become successful. 

Steve Jobs

This is my second essay for blogger, and I hope Mr.Dahl can read them :D

Steve Jobs

"Steve Jobs was the greatest inventor since Thomas Edison. He put the world at our fingertips." Steve Jobs died on Wednesday at age 56. Everyone is saddened to learn of Steve Job’s death, and his death is regarded by many noteworthy people in the world such as Barack Obama, Bill Gates and The Walt Disney Company. Steve Jobs is renowned for his originality and intelligent ability who has leaded technology to a new generation.

Steve Jobs is an original thinker and a brilliant businessman who created the most influential computer “Macintosh”, and he has reinvented portable music player “iPod”. This amazing invention also opened the commercial opportunity that selling music online legally with iTunes and reordered the cellphone market with iPhone. Anther magnificent introduction of iPad also jump-started the electric-tablet market. Steve Jobs is widely regarded as a genius who has intelligent understanding the needs of consumers.

Apple only announced his death but they didn’t mention where Steve Jobs died. Once, Steve Jobs has talk openly about his pancreatic cancer which diagnosed in 2004. Later, he was furious about the speculation of his health in 2008 and he looked gaunt when he appeared in the public. One year passed, he left his company in order to have liver transplant.

In my opinion, the death of Steve Jobs was too coincident that iPhone 4S was just published and Apple’s share price dropped 5 percent. Therefore, maybe the time of his death was not on Wednesday which was earlier. And Apple concealed this truth in order to make pretension for something.

Steve Jobs was famous by his intelligent and originality. However he passed away on this Wednesday and it was regarded by many notable people. He has many amazing inventions which gave more commercial opportunities in the market and made our lives more convenient. The reason of his death was pancreatic cancer, however Apple only announced his death but they didn’t mention where. Thus, there might have some clandestine information which they do not want people concern about. 

Smart people

Start from now, I am going to write an essay for my each journal. I don't know if is possible or not, but I will try my best to achieve it :D 

Smart People

Did you know what the definition of genius is? Is it true that people who graduated from Harvard University are smarter than others? Smart people are regarded as their intellectual ability, creativity and unprecedented insight. Therefore, they usually have successful achievement on not only their academic work but also charisma.

So far, there’s no specifically accurate definition of genius. Nevertheless, Galton, who is widely regarded as the founder of “Psychometry” referred that transcendence, is caused by genetic trait. He studied people heritability in order to count eminent relatives of smart people. Afterwards he figure out that eminent relatives are greater with closer degree of kinship. Basically, geniuses are distinguished to two different types. One of them becomes intelligent by naturally such as Albert Einstein, the other one becomes intelligent by putting effort such as Thomas Edison. As his most famous quotation: “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” 

            Harvard alumni are smarter than most of alumni who graduated at others colleges, as the result of its difficult admission standard and difficult academic standard. The certain thing for sure that Harvard students enjoy business connect and an easy time to become successful. However it doesn’t mean they can’t also be smarter.

As the record states, there are 50 people who won Nobel Prize have been affiliated with Harvard University. For instance, Barrack Obama is widely renowned for his charisma, who is one of Nobel Prize winner graduated from Harvard Law School.

            As a consequence, there are many geniuses not only in the past time but also in the present time.  Some of geniuses are clever naturally and some of geniuses are smart by working hard. People who study at Harvard University are usually more intelligent than others college graduates, because they have tough admission and academic standards. 

So tired

Recently, I found that if you slept extremely late one night, you won't feel in tomorrow morning. However, if you sleep normally on second day, you will get extraordinarily tired on third day morning. I wondered, why the main character doesn't need to sleep in the movie "Limitless". As the movie record states, people usually use 20 percent of brain, therefore, main character takes medicine in order to make his brain achieve 100 percent work. As the result, he becomes super genius and he doesn't need to sleep anymore. Nothing is impossible to him.
The movie makes me excited about the amazing pills, but the scientists state that people already using 100 percent of their brain everyday and people need to sleep in order to keep livers and other organs healthy. Another record claims provided that people don't have enough sleep, their IQ will decrease. People is necessary for them in order to have a well concentration and clear thought. I think I should try to build a good habit in order to have a regular sleep.

Random Journal

Provided that there is typhoon approaching, then we don’t have school day fortunately. YA!!!

So today I am going to writing random journal but it doesn’t mean I don’t care about this assignment. After PSAT, I get my freedom back again which means I can do whatever I want. However, the worst case happen, we have another PSAT on October15. My mood is like intricate because it is official one which means it will be more accurate. Furthermore, I don’t like the rainy without typhoon one. Therefore, we can’t have basketball practice, and our floor is wet. Another thing I am going to say is after camp my strength decrease, thus, I need to run laps and do push up in order to get my energy back . So far, I am not really familiar with all of my classmates. And sometimes I feel sad because I don’t have many same classes with my old classmates. Sometimes, I feel bored in class, because most of my classmates don’t get the some jokes. Maybe time will solve those problems. Recently, I start to suspect that I have multi-personality, because sometimes my mind change rapidly :D

My journal of Camp

           This is my first time to participate in P.A.S camp, and I am excited about how my friends and I have a good time in this interesting activity. On Monday morning, every student gathered in different class, and all of us are already known who is going to sleep with you in tent and which team are you. Although some of us are upsetting because they are not with their best friends, we can make new friends and share your own stories to new people which are exciting. Afterwards, we take train move toward Hualian, and we have lots of fun on that train on account of only P.A.S students in that train. Everyone can heartily chat with each other and share astonishing secrets. When we arrived to Hualian, I see much powerful scenery such as their mountains.   And I sleep for a while during the period of moving to our camp location. Basically, we have four teams in our camp, and I am in red team. Fortunately, most of my friends are in the red team. However, we have to create a performance for Tuesday bonfire night. First thing we doing in camp is building our tent, and this is the first challenge for me, because I have no idea how to do a good job on this. The most interesting activity on first day is Water Park and my pants are almost taken off by someone, but I still enjoy this activity a lot. Another interesting thing is we have BBQ at first night. However there is a heavy rain and most of us are wet. Second is the funniest day of camp, we move toward to Hualian river in order to rafting. This activity is kind of dangerous but interesting. The sunshine is heavy at that day, thus most of us get sunburn. First, we get our rafting equipment and ready for getting into the boat. The river is so long that we have to take approximately five hours to finish this rafting trip. During the rafting, our boat knocks someone down into the water which is pretty crazy but fun. By the way, this is my first time to raft, and I very like this experience, because we can build our rapport, team work and well relationship. And, I have fallen into the river once, and I was pushed by one of our team member, the worst case is, I even lost one of my rafting shoes. Another exciting activity is bonfire night, although we don’t have a really fire, we use fake fire to replace. Our team’s performance is fine, but the insufficient thing is our music doesn’t work while we are dancing. Therefore, we have to sing by ourselves. Afterwards, we have a play for another show, and I am the main character of that show Our idea is everyone dose push up and all of us are easy to get tired except me, because I ate school lunch which gives me much energy. At the night, students usually go to others tent and share today’s interesting experience to each other or play cards. There is a sweet thing in this camp, people have delicious snacks at night so we never get starving. In my opinion, I think camp is a good activity for students and teachers, because we can increase a well relationship between each other. And I think this trip will become one of my unforgettable memories.
