I read the essay “A message to Garcia” and it was kind of hard to understand. Once Mr. Schick explained it I understood much better. I can agree with Elbert Hubbard and I really do think if someone is going to have a job they should do it and do it right. When you are a worker at a store and someone asks for help to find something, the worker can’t just say, “can’t you just find it?” The worker has to help the person find what they are looking for. It is just like the man Rowan who had to deliver the letter to General Garcia. When Rowan was asked to deliver the letter, he said, “yes sir.” He went by foot through a jungle and walked the terrain of Cuba but some worker at a store can’t help someone find something. I have run into people who work well and people who are lazy in my fourteen years of life.             During my freshman year I’m not going to be that lazy worker at the store that won’t help anyone. I’m to work my best to get honor roll. I’m going to have to stu
        Today I had a pretty good day in Human Geography. It was pretty funny because one of my good friends, Vlad, didn't complete his blog because the website was being weird. He had to create a new blog and had to send the new web address to Mr. Schick. Unfortunately Mr. Schick's email wasn't working and couldn't receive the email. I knew for a fact that Vlad completed his blog but the website being weird. Vlad is one of the best students I know and he always completes things on time. I felt bad for him during this class because he has to rewrite that blog which is unfortunate.         In Human Geo we also went over the class syllabus. I was happy when we went over projects because I learned that we do group projects. Vlad, Owen, and I decided that we would all work together on those because we've all know each other for years. This will be a good group and we will get things accomplished and get good grades. I'm excited to see what my future is like at John
Today I had my first day at The John Carroll School. This school is great and I have a feeling it will stay close to me throughout my life. It took a lot of hard work to get in but I'm finally here and now I just have to continue that hard work through high school. Over the summer I got to meet some of the John Carroll baseball coaches and players and I hope they help me get to the next level in baseball. My first day was pretty good. I started off by walking to school in the rain which wasn't very fun. Once I arrived at school I got my locker number and combination. I got all the books I needed and headed off to my first mod with my favorite teacher so far, Mr. Schick. I went throughout the day getting to know my teachers better and got a good amount of homework. After my day I had to walk back to my house in the rain and here I am writing this blog. I had a good first day and I'm excited for the rest if the year.
