One of my personal strengths is my athletic ability. I love to play sports and I am fast so mot of the time I am not half bad at whatever sport I choose to play. I play a lot of sports, and My favorite sport is whichever sport I am playing at the time. Right now, I am playing baseball and I made the all star team. It is probably the funnest sport I play.
            During the summer, I will be playing basketball also. This is probably my best sport, and I like to play the point guard, I am good at driving hard to the rim, and shooting threes, and assisting my team mates. I am going to work on pulling up from mid range this summer. Usually coaches don't play me in that position because I am tall though. I didn't play this year, so hopefully my spot won't be taken during the summer.
            Another personal strength is my persistance. I have never gotten homework lab, and I have never not done my homework. I've noticed people with bad grades, and they wonder why, and they almost get homework lab everyday. And those are most of my personal strengths.
 
            Two weeks ago, my core teacher told us some key points to doing good on the CST. She told us to get good sleep, eat a good breakfast, and to wear comfortable clothes. The new thing I found out is that when there is a problem that you just don't know, you choose a colomn, (which will be C for me) and you mark that colomn for every answer you don't know. It is beter than marking christmas trees or whatever else we do.
            By doing that strategy, You will at least get one or more right. By using all of the techniques I listed above, I am looking forward to doing well in the California State Test.
 
            Today in art, I made a characiger it was fun, and I got to use oil pastels those are very fun to use because you can smear them with your fingers. In algebra, we played jeaopardy with math questions, our table didn't win, but we still had fun. The winning team got blow pops. I would rather settle on extra credit than blow pops but it's still okay.
            In science I have a test about frogs. I studied, and we've been working with frogs for the past week so I think I will do well. I also have a project about a Scientific Revolution award I finished that yesterday. In Spanish, I am pretty sure that I am taking a test, it is rather today, or on monday but I'm not sure. Over the weekend I will finally finish my collection box.
 
            In History, we are doing a project about the Scientific Revolution. We get to pick an astronomer, or a philosopher in that time period and make an award for them. We could pick a lot of people including Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Nicolaus Copernicus, Johann Kepler, and many more. I chose Nicolaus Copernicus.
            I chose Nicolaus Copernicus because he was the first one to study planets, and show that the church's ideas were wrong. He is known for the person that started the Scientific Revolution. He believed in the heliocentric theory that the sun was the middle of the universe, and that all of the planets orbitted around the sun.
 
            I haven't had any recent dreams that I could remember, so I will tell you about dreams I have dreamt while I was awake. I've had many dreams like this, I have had some about almost every sport. I have dreamed about running in the olympics with my brothers, but I have had more dreams than just running in track.
            I have had other dreams where I was in the NBA, and I was an athletic point guard, and I made he game winner in the finals. In those dreams, I imagine myself better than Michael Jordan. The other dream I had was a dream about me playing baseball, and being a top prospect getting drafted to the Seattle Mariners. There I was the next Ken Griffey Jr.
 
            If I could give advice to an ancient historian, I would tell Aristotle to test out all of his logical ideas. I knew that back then, he was known for being smart, and nobody questioned his thinkings, But no one ever tested it out. The same thing happened to Ptolemy. He was a very logical, or rational philosopher. He said that because humans were on the earth, the earth was the center of the universe. He was wrong of course.
            If these people tested their theories out, it would have made a big difference in the Scientific Revolution. During the Scientific Revolution, many people such as Galileo, were sent to trial because the church believed wrong theories. In Isaac Newton's time, he tested out his theories so many times they were known as laws. In that time, he wasn't charged for heresy either.
