The Girls Baseball Tournament

On Monday October 20th 2008 some of the girls went to a baseball tournament a local park. We got there around 8:45a.m, and we were a little lost getting there but we got there on time.  We played 3 games that day.  The first game was at 9:40a.m and the first game we lost  6 to 10. Before we played the second game, we had lunch and we also had time to practice with our team a while. this wasn’t a good idea because while we practiced most of the girls got hurt, like me.  I got hit by a bat on my leg and my chin and a ball hit me on my other leg. And it hurt a lot especially my chin . . .by my own team! We won the second game 11 to 4 and we went on to the finals.  At the final game we lost very badly because the other team hit the ball very far from the field. We lost 5 to 15 points!!! Then we went back to school on the bus.   While we were waiting for the bus to come we went and saw a skate board park. When we got back to school at 4:30p.m, we saw the boys baseball team practicing for their baseball tournament the next day and we told a little white lie to them that we won two games not just one. Then all of us went home and some of them went to take a nap. That day I will never forget.

Fun

I like to have fun because without fun life would be so boring. Going out is fun.  Going on vacation and taking an airplane and celebrating Christmas is fun. I also call going downtown fun.  I even think going to my mom’s work is fun. going shopping at the Eaton Centre and taking the subway is all fun. Going to CNE, going on sleepovers, school field trips are all fun. Sometimes on the weekend I like to go shopping at Square One. I like going to Mississauga. I like staying in hotels because they’re also fun. I hope you enjoyed my blog.

Terry Fox and His Marathon of Hope

Terry Fox was just an ordinary person, but Terry Fox was inspired to run across Canada.  When Terry Fox was just 18, he found out that he had cancer.  When he went to the hospital he saw lots of people including children who had cancer. So Terry Fox started his marathon by dipping his leg in the Atlantic Ocean. Terry Fox also planned to dip his leg in the Pacific Ocean proving that he has ran across Canada and raised money. During his run he met all sorts of Canadians such as politicians and famous athletes. Terry Fox got a little attention when he first began the run, but as he got far the more attention he has gotten. When Terry Fox ran to Thunder Bay his cancer started to spread and was forced to go home, But Terry Fox died after. Canadians now every year do a Terry Fox walk or run to honour Terry Fox, Canadians also raise money for cancer research. This is what happened and how Terry Fox did his marathon.

The New America

This year I was lucky enough to be part of the historical change that Barock Obama made. He is made history and I got to witness it. He is the first ever black president of the United States of America. This change is not only going to be for Americans, these changes will affect the whole lintier world. Before Borock Obama there were many people who did not care for the problems in America. But He said that he was sure the change would come. I don’t think that he is lying when he said the he would make America a better place for everybody and that was what made him so powerful. In 2008 November 4 Obama made some extremely powerful statements. People were crying and tearing up because his words were so touching and inspiring. Many people tried to do what Obama did like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton but Obama made History not only because he was black but because back in the day African Americans were not even allowed to vote. Then Doctor King Jr. and Malcolm X came along and then got black people the write to vote since then there have been many changes. Black people are encouraging education playing sports, directing movies and so on. People like doctor King paved the way for Obama and that is why he is on top of the throne and he is the president of the United States of America. Even though there is an African American president it does not mean that every thing is all good. There is still going to be problems and there is still going to serious issues and more bad things but if that particular country helps out and actually tries to do better I think America will be the best place on earth. And I just wanted to bring up those hate groups like the K.K.K who hate and despise black people to just stop. Because if black people did the same as what those particular groups it would just make more war. And if there is more war Obama’s changes will not do any thing but waste peoples time. So I hope every body joins to Make America a better nation.
