Author’s Note: This is my final Year-end wrap up. My final piece of 7th grade. I just wanted to tell you just how my 7th grade year went.
This was a very different year. Not exactly the type of classes most school goers have. There were good things and some bad things about it. Overall This has been one of the best years ever.
First of all, I wasn’t in regular classes, I was in Academy 21. I know what you are probably thinking “What is Academy 21?” Well, Academy 21 is a project based year of learning. You choose the project and how you present it. During the project you have to hit certain area like social studies or science.
While doing that we also did a program called Aleks. Which is a supplement to a real math class since there isn’t to much math in our project. It really helped me, because I was able to finish 2 years of math in just 7th grade. Now I get to go to the high math class.
During resource we have seminars. Which are like regulars classes but for a short amount of time. We were able to request something that we were struggling with and we may work on that for the next seminar.
Like most people We still have electives like gym or french. My electives were gym, french, band, tech ed, and robotics. We also started a literature/book club. We meet every A day during 5th hour.
This 7th grade was one of the best years ever. It was a great experience to have during the school years. Next I will being going back to regular classes. Also this year went extremely fast. Though it was a fun year I can’t wait for summer.

But right when you think the story is over "Boom" they find themselves in a "heart of gold ship. Brand new in the space catalog! This space ship can go into improbably drive, which lets you travel the Universe in seconds. The best part are the doors. It's there pleasure to open the door for you. Closing again with the knowledge of a job well done. Just listen for the "Hummmmmmmyummmmmmm ah! That's the sound it makes when it knows you are pleased.

The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Author’s Note: This is a response to the new book I am reading The HitchHiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. If you could give some feedback that would be great.
The world at its end. While some aliens are trying to create a galactic highway. What do they do, they blow it up. Just before the earth is destroyed a man named Ford Prefect, who is not human and has been stuck on earth for the last fifteen year, and a human named Arthur Dent escape the planet. While hitchhike a ride on the Vogon’s ship Ford shows Arthur the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy. Which is a outdated electronic book that you can learn about anything. Now Ford Prefect is working on the new version, because things can change over time.

Whale Shark
Author’s Note: This is a content essay for life science. I am working on introduction and vocabulary. If you could give me some feedback that would be great.
Have you ever wondered how big a whale shark really is? Not a blue whale a shark whale. Because of the whales size, diet, and location, it makes it one of the most interesting fish in the sea.
First, imagine a school bus. A whale shark is the size of a average school bus. They are the biggest shark and fish in the sea, not including whales.
Their natural habitat is all the way around the world, but just near the equator. Just imagine a band wrapped around the earth on top of the equator. That is where they live. Obviously they like the warm water temperature. Though they are carnivore, people that live down by the equator can have a safe ride.
They’re natural prey is plankton. All the whale shark has to do is open it’s mouth and suck in everything around it. It closes it’s jaws and it filters out all the water and it eats whatever is it it’s mouth. It's weird how such a big animal eats tiny little plankton.
These whale in a wide stretch of land and are gigantic.They are carnivorous but will only eat plankton, So there is no possible way it would eat a human, so you can have a safe ride.

Carnival
Last Friday was carnival night and it was a huge success. I ran mini golf and minute to win it. Well, I wasn’t there, but I was in the group that ran those two. The minute to win it was easy. We just had a golf balls to stack on top of each other and then the tissue box. For the golf course we got a little lazy, because we had already one golf course. We never talked about getting together and building another one. There I think we lacked teamwork and communication. But otherwise it turned out great.

Gorillas
Author’s Note:This is a content essay for life science. I am working on adding opinion or reaction, sentence structure, organization, and proof reading. If you could give me some feedback that would be great.
Have you ever thought about the theory that men evolved from monkeys. If you think about it, monkeys and gorillas aren’t very different from humans. Also Gorillas are smarter than most of the animals out there.
First, there are 3 species of gorilla. The east lowland gorillas, west African gorilla, and mountain gorilla. Gorillas aren’t really endangered except for the mountain gorilla. There aren’t any in zoos and there is only 673 in the wild. The other gorillas aren’t endangered at all. Gorillas mainly live in the middle parts of Africa. Gorillas have no predators except the possibility of a leopard.
Secondly, Gorillas are very close to being human. Well, besides that fact that they can’t talk to us. Besides the 2 species of chimpanzees Gorillas are the closes thing to a human. Gorillas have posoble thumbs just like us. They seem to be smart as a cave man, which isn’t as bad compare to most animals. Maybe 1000’s of years from now they will make a car just like how we started off. Maybe it’s the next creature to take humans place, there are just 1000’s of years behind us.
There are so many Gorillas out there, except for the mountain gorillas. They are getting smarter. So do you think that gorillas could be the next creature to take humans place or do you think that it is just another animal. Who knows.

Spring Break
Author’s Note: This is a free-choice essay. I am working on Sentence Structure, adding opinion or reaction, organization, and proof reading. If you could give me some feedback that would be great.
Have you ever been on a vacation before? One that you didn’t even know you were going on until you got the airport. Well, over spring break one of those vacations happened to me. It was one of the biggest surprises of my life.
First, this all started Saturday the 1st day of spring break. It was a normal Saturday morning. I invited my friend Carson over. Until my Mom said we are going to visit our Aunt in Milwaukee. We were driving and we going towards the airport which I didn’t find weird because my Aunt lives near the airport. Once we were driving into the airport, I asked my Mom where we were going. She said we were going to Florida. I couldn't believe it. I telling my Dad “Are you lyin’”.
I couldn’t believe it, my Dad wasn’t lying and it only took 2 hours to get there. Once we got there it was already 9:00 pm. If all the luggage and the shuttle. We didn’t get to the hotel till about 11:00. While we were there we went to Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, a part Animal Kingdom, and my favorite, Universal.
One of my favorite parts of Universal was the Harry Potter section. It was a life size replica of the city Hogsmeade. But the best part was Hogwarts. The castle was basically a ride. We waited 70 minutes for this ride and that was in the morning. Anyways, you would sit down in a chair for a roller coaster and you fly around in caves with big dragons and spiders. Also you would sometime go into a room where it was a big screen. So you would be flying with Harry Potter. It was so real that when it looked that I was getting close to the ground, on the screen, I would want to lift my feet up.
Secondly, my favorite ride of all was called the “Rockit”. It was a roller coaster that when you sat down, there is a touch screen on the handles. First you would pick a genre, then you’re artist and song. So during the ride you would listen to that song. I picked “Can’t touch this” by MC Hammer. It goes straight up and then straight back down. It was so awesome and I only had to wait 45 minutes.
I had such a great time. I was so surprise when I went. I just couldn't believe it. If you ever go there I encourage you to go to the Harry Potter(Universal), Rockit(Universal), Expedition Everest(Animal Kingdom), see the Fantasmic show at Hoolywood studios, and go on the Buzz Lightyear ride, because it is just that awesome(Magic Kingdom).
