on Summer Reflection
on I had a lot of fun this summer. I did a lot of things like: Camp, and going to Wyoming or going to France but my most favorite thing I did this summer is going to the Women’s World cup.
This summer felt different from the others. I am usually really excited for the summer and happy to be away from school but this time it was different, on the last day of school i realized i am going to really miss every and its going to be hard not seeing them every day in the morning at hopefully 8:15.
I had a lot of fun this summer and I kinda don’t want it to be over but i’m glad it’s coming to an end so I can see my friends again.
Camp
on Over the summer I went to sleep away camp for two weeks. Let me just say it was horrible. It wasn’t till the second to last day that I actually started to have fun. The main reason of why I did not have fun is because of the way the day ran. Every period you could choose from 3 different activities and sometimes the activities would be arts/crafts, cooking, and dance. I did not want to do those choices but I had no choice. The reason I started to have fun on the second to last day is because just then they started to give us interesting choices. I am never going to forget that camp because of how horrible it was.
Wyoming
on During every summer and winter I go to Wyoming. During the winter we go skiing and during the summer we do a lot of different activities including mountain biking, hiking, and rafting. Our house is part of Teton Village in Jackson Hole Wyoming. I love to mountain biking out there. I am very good at it so i can do a lot of jumps and harder things that you could not do if you were not good at it. I love going to Wyoming and im looking forward to it in the future.

Women’s world cup
on 
At the beginning of the summer I went to the women’s world cup in canada. My family and I went to Ottawa to se the quarter finals. The matchup was The United States vs China. Since canada is a different country we had to bring our passports with us on the plane. It wasn’t till a few weeks before that my mom realized that my pass had expired and, you need your passport to take a plane. You don’t need a passport to drive though you just need an birth certificate. So that’s what we did. Most people at the game were USA fans. It felt nice o be on the side of the team that had a majority of the fans. The final score was 1-0 USA won. When we scored the only goal it felt like the best feeling in the world. I was so happy that we won and had a very good time in anada.
Eli’s Hero Essay by Eli Harris
on People who are solution oriented, risk takers, positive and are driven by passion should be heroes. Also when you’re a hero you have to have both mental and physical strength. When you have these traits in a problem, you can get through it. Heroes arise through problems when they are driven by their passion. When Jackie Robinson was fighting for his rights he showed heroic traits, but when Ulysses was to get home he only showed stereotypical heroic qualities. That shows he is not a hero.
When Ulysses was trying to get home from Troy he showed heroic qualities like strength but being strong does not mean you are a hero. Being strong is one thing, but when being a hero you also need to have mental strength. After Ulysses stabs Polyphemus in the eye, Polyphemus tells Poseidon to punish Ulysses. Ulysses gets punished for not thinking. If you want to be a hero you need to have mental strength and physical strength.
My modern day hero is Jackie Robinson and he is a hero because he got through all the hard times the white people were giving him. When you have hundreds of people yelling at you about you playing the sport you love (or doing the things you love) and then you are driven with your passion, you are a hero. When Jackie Robinson got up to bat, people would yell hurtful words at him and he was not allowed to fight back. He scores a run to show them he is meaningful. With Jackie Robinson’s passion of the sport, he drives through the problems he had. When you have a problem but get through it with your passion, you are a hero.
What if there was no racism in the world? In the modern world there is still racism and there needs to be a hero that steps up and fights against it like Jackie Robinson. I am inspired by Jackie Robinson because he was fighting for his rights. The reason of writing this essay is when you read it you are going to want to be a better person and have the traits of a hero. If there were no heros in the world problems would occur all over the place. That is why we should remember heroes.
The reason we wrote this essay is because without heroes in the world problems would occur all over the place so heroes are very important.
Discovery Day
on For Discovery Day afternoon we went to power play. Power play is a gymnastics place. We did stuff like parkour and trampolining. It was very surprising of how the rock wall was pretty easy. Some of the trampolining things were hard like we had to do a flip with two people on the trampoline. The most fun part of power play was the rope wall and we got timed and the best time was 4 seconds by Dave.
My website
on Toward the end of the year in d-lab we one of the things that we did is create a website. I had a great experience doing it. I learned tons about code that I did not know before.
I would want to make more websites in the future.
