Third Quarter Bounce Back

So my dudes, report cards came out today. I didn't do very bad however, i know i could do so much better.My first quarter overall average was a 95 and my second quarter average dropped to a 90. What disappoints me is all my grades were exceptional, I was just missing homework in most
 classes. This was due to constant sports practice, science olympiad competitions, and dragged church services (sorry mom). Now that science olympiads is over, i'm putting all excuses aside, and i'm gonna bounce back high. I'm planning-no, im going to get above a 95 overall this quarter. Beginning by handing in all my blogs for English class on time and making Fuhrer Jackson proud. I had some thought on dropping computer programming to take intro to business but my counselor recommended that I stay in it so i'll see where that leads. I'm also going to speed through my community service hours required for National Honors Society. Im gonna end this blog on two serious questions for the readers. Do you plan to improve this quarter, and how are you going to it? Also, what other aspirations do you have for this upcoming spring?

Research Paper

Beginning with the introduction of our English research paper, I was very skeptical, mainly because I don't like writing too much. As we got more in depth, I began to have internal debates on my stance within my topic. To begin with, I was fully prepared to write about why the use of torture can be justified. I had all my claims ready and evidence to back it up. However, during an episode of Fullmetal Alchemist, torture was brought up. Fullmetal Alchemist is my favorite anime by the way. The idea of torture only sparking more hate and vengeance intrigued me. So I began to look deeper into the ethics against torture. After an all nighter of anime and constant debate with myself, I decided to switch my claim. In the end, i'm very glad that I switched to the counterclaim and the way my research paper came out. What are your guys' thoughts on torture? Also out of subject but this whole scenario made me think of the butterfly effect theory in which one small action may have a larger outcome. If I had decided to be a normal person and go to sleep at a reasonable time instead of watching anime, I would've defended torture in my paper. That one extra episode made me rethink my stance on something that could affect my grades. Just a small thought my dudes. Have you guys ever had an experience with the butterfly effect?

dEBATE lotf

In Sr Jacksons class, we had a discussion or arguably, a debate on topics concerning the novel "Lord of the Flies". We were divided among groups and took turns stating our standpoints within  a circle of desks. I found it to be a very interesting approach to discussing the book and look forward to them in the future.

The topics at hand were whether or not Jack Merridew was an effective leader and if the children were evil before or after they landed on the island. My group believed that Jack wasn't a good leader however, that didn't mean he wasn't effective. He established his power with an iron fist unlike Ralph. We also believed that the island made the children evil as the hunters began to hunt with lust. Overall, it was a fun experience to hear all the different viewpoints of my peers. Until next time broskis!

Thoughts on JFK files

How was your day my dudes? I hope you all had a good weekend and had some fun. I visited my dad for the weekend which was alright and out of boredom, I looked at some recent news concerning politics and I stumbled upon something interesting. Donald Trump has announced that files on the assasination of President John F Kennedy were being released. Now, since I don’t have access to a computer, I can’t add pictures or gifs but here’s a nice representation of my reaction: *0*
I skimmed through the files released the next day and there wasn’t nothing major revealed, however I have a theory. There has been  a lot of tension between many professional athletes and celebrities against president trump. Rather than help with the aftermath of Hurricane Irma in Puerto Rico or the flint Michigan water crisis, our president engaged in unecessary argument with celebrities. After much complaint about this, the president realized what he’s been doing is wrong so he needed a distraction. So, he decided to release information on a topic with many conspiracies and secrets into the public to distract the general population from his foolishness. Once I came to this realization I was like: >:(
Now this is my opinion on this, what do you guys think about these JKF files released?
and
What are your thoughts on President trump’s past months in office?
Peace out bloggers.

Moral issues of abortion

The topic of abortion is a very controversial subject but there are two sides to it. Most abortions are done in the early stage of development of the fetus and many consider it morally acceptable.In various countries, infants are euthanized as soon as they are born and it is looked down upon as murder. Now here's my question, in what stage of development, is it not considered murder?



There are cases in which the parent is financially unable to care for the child and they resort to abortion. However, i believe that there are more appropriate solutions, such as putting them up for adoption or finding someone who will care for them. I don't have a religious bias against abortion, but more of a moral bias. Why should it be okay to take the life of an infant when there are other solutions to it? Who knows, maybe a child who was aborted could've become a historical figure and had a large impact on society. I'm going to compare this to the book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" in which Henrietta was a poor black woman in a time of racial discrimination. She had many children and chose not to abort any of them. In the end, her children watched after her when she had fatal cancer. There have been cases in which women who had abortions, couldn't deal with the guilt of taking their child's life and were driven insane. I find that abortion is morally unjust and there are better solutions to it. Then again, these are just my thoughts........ whats your opinion on this?

Time for a random blog my dudes.....I think only mr Jackson is gonna read this but.....the show must go on. I visited my dad for this weekend, pretty boring but I got some of that nice AP World history homework done. I totally forgot we had tomorrow off, I’ll probably just do some homework and workout like any other day but hey, no school. Church today took really long so that sucked but I’m probably gonna sleep over at my aunts place. They have a basketball hoop so scratch the homework, I’ll probably end up playing basketball all day and listen to some Digital Underground songs. It gives me cancer when people say I listen to outdated music but at least it carries an actual message unlike today’s rap....those damn whippersnappers. No just kidding, I like all music but classic rap is the preference. Those are today’s thoughts from yours truly, so have a good night everyone.
