Because I Love Soccer

That black and white ball. A familiar friend to me since I was 6. One way that I have described soccer to a friend is when I said, "It's hard to do a Maradona when you have a whole other team of determined players running at you at top speed." Or rather running at that black and white ball that is resting next to your feet in those few seconds when your mind is searching for a way to penetrate that line of people ahead of you. They are sprinting, ready to attack that ball, going after it likes it's signed by the whole Arsenal team, Beckham, Mia Hamm, and Pele. That's what soccer's about, your mind flashing back to that one camp instructor with the weird accent. The one who taught you how to do that Maradona (he called it "walking on water"). When you finish doing that fancy move and you get past what before seemed like an impossible army of uniformed people. You then are rushing towards the goal before they can catch up. You get that indescribable, overwhelming feeling deep in your bones of accomplishment. All those years of coaches instructing you, all of your gathered information, all of it flashing in your mind. Your muscle memory taking control. This is why I love soccer. There is mud all over me. My water bottle is calling to me. The pain of all the running is inside of me... The need to keep running is burning deep within me. People are kicking at me. My shins are sore. My coaches are yelling at me. My knees are skinned and bleeding. The ref is against me. Yet I keep going... Because I love soccer.

MoNdAy ReFlEcTiOn: Why do differnent countries find different things atractive? Ex: China (used to, and sometimes still do) find women with small feet very atractive. So women would go to extream lengths to make their feet smaller.

Yellow Journalizm

Yellow Journalizm-

One example of yellow journalizm that I can think of most recently is yesterday actualy. In Mr. Tupper's class we were whatching the tv and a station was informing us that the polls in that particular state were leaning Obama- 49% 51%. When in fact the poles were 49% 49% with 2% undicided, as Mr. T then told us. It made me wonder why they would do that...? To make the McCain voters in that state hurry out to vote? To try and persuade veiwers that Obama was going to win? Or did they just get false information? What do you think, post a comment:

Week High[s] :) Thursday I went shopping with friends! On Friday I went T or' T with lots of friends and hung out afterwards. On Saturday I had a really fun soccer game against/with friends, and we won!

Week Low :( On Thursday night I had to stay up late working on my S.S. board.

Question ? Why don't humans shed their hair like other species. ex: even some trees shed their bark.

* Goal * My goal for this week is to not be stressed, and if I am, to be calm.

Last weeks~ I did not compleate my goal for last week. As you can tell from my week low...

Ms. Bryant's class

Hello my name is Cassie and I am in Ms.Bryant's 7th grade honors English class of '08. My favorite thing about English is writing. I love writing because you can create a world in which anything can happen. I love to read also. One thing about me that some people don't know is that I am a goalie in soccer and a pitcher in softball. One of my goals in life is to have fun all the time, wether that is hanging out with friends or dancing around to some music it's nessisary to me!
