I'm getting transferred to a new school. Its unfair. Narwin definitely is out to get me. What have I done to deserve this? Its all her fault! Its her fault that I cannot qualify for the track team try-outs, and now she has caused this whole mess! WHY, WHY, WHY!
I don't understand how everybody is pointing their finger at me! I didn't do anything wrong! She was the one who stopped me from singing the national anthem, and got me kicked out of class, eventually getting me suspended altogether! I was about to ask her for extra work to raise my grades, and this thing happened! The responses I'm getting from people all over the country; supporting my actions, to stand up for myself. However, the responses I'm getting from the staff and students of Harrison High are negative!! How could this happen? The responses are as follows: People all over the country: i.e. Dear Philip, We support your defense of America. Keep on singing. We all join in. -Rolando Merchaud -Red Oak, Iowa. People from Harrison High: i.e. Coach Jamison, Todd Becker and Allison Doresett "conspiring" to get a petition going to get me to say I was wrong. May I have your opinions on this case? -- Word Count: 210 words 1A109 left the world of darkness on 4:47 AM Sunday, March 1, 2009
Today in class, our english teacher gave us numerous pictures, seemingly from comics, to ask us to piece them together to form a logical scene. We were grouped into teams according to our preferred learning styles - a test taken by us on a certain website.
In the process of "assembling" the pieces, we had a lot of fun reasoning with each other. Eventually, we succeeded in forming a logical scene. All in all, I realised the fun and joy of learning visually. Our english teacher also showed us a graphic novel titled "ZOOM". The novel is about looking at things from different perspectives. The book starts with the crown of a rooster, gradually expanding into a toy house, then a magazine, an advertisement of a cruise ship printed on a bus, and so on. It ends with "zooming" until the Earth is only a speck seen from outer space. After the introduction of the novel, I marvelled at the intelligence of the author, or illustrator, able to "see" from so many different perspectives. I also realised that I can learn better visually than with words. I remembered that one of my school teachers told me during assembly period that humans learn 55% of things visually, 38% on hearing and only a mere 7% on text itself.
