What Now?

What now? A new teacher in Mr.Dwyer , how will we react? Well so far it looks like it is a going to be a great rest of the year. Not much will change in my opinion it will still be a fun class that I look forward to everyday. The class atmosphere , I hope will still remain the same, the atmosphere were everyone is included and everyone can talk. Another thing that I hope we keep are these blogs. It's nice to have a spot in school that is all yours.In truth I won't have to prepare much to adjust to our new teacher. He has much of the same teaching qualities as Mr.Good and i'm sure Mr. Dwyer will fit right in, and it's our job as students to help him feel right at home.

What I learned

I learned many things in this eventful quarter. I learned about life and death. About how one event can change the way you see things and really appreciate what you learned when you look back on it. The is the first time that something in school really left me truly shocked. School, I always felt, was a seperate life for me it never really followed me home except for the homework assignments and friends. But when Mrs.Mckenna passed away it really caught me by suprise, and shocked me and that shock followed me home. I wasn't used to school being a place of mourning for others. It was a odd experience, but a very valueable and eye opening one and one that I will never forget. I also learned how we can be flipped around. When Mr.Good came in as our new teacher we all really liked his teaching style and how he treated our class, but then we get news of his departure. And yet again we are flipped, forced to change into a somewhat new routine with a new face. Now this isn't as drastic as a before nor is it a bad on change. In short what I learned this year in creative writing , I learned something that can't really be taught, but can only be experienced and lived through your own eyes.

wRite a Riff

Today was a routine day, it was very predictable. I'm pretty sure everyone has these kind of days were you can almost predict what is going to happen next.You know your next class you know where you are going to sit at lunch, in short it's a boring day. But then there are those day that makes your life seem like a really unpredictable experience. This may be a good thing, you might learn something very interesting that would inspire you or something that grabs your attention and changes the way you look at things. Or it may not be good, it may be a terrible change that puts us out of our comfort zone and makes us want that routine normal day. Like the day we lost Mrs.Mckenna i'm sure all of us wanted things to go back to normal and back to our old routine.
We have to have that balance of a normal predictable day, but we need that bit of change in our lives to be able to grow and learn weird and wonderful things about this life we live.

Remember

The way I chose to remember was by showing a image. This image may not make much sense to you or to anybody that doesn't follow soccer ,but to millions of supporters and their players this clock and date reminds them of why they play and the sort of togetherness at the club.

The tragic story of the Munich air disaster is one that is ingrained in the minds of many of the people that surround Manchester United F.C. The night of February 6th 1958 23 of the 44 passengers on a flight from Munich died as their plane crashed. 8 of the 17 players on the plane died, those nine that survived drag out other passengers from the wreckage and saved many lives in a act of true bravery. Without many of their players they and their manager near death they still some how found the willpower to finish the season.
10 years later Manchester united reached the final of the European cup, What seemed like an impossible task that can only be accomplished in their wildest dreams, was about to come true. Sir Bobby Charlton one of the survivors of the crash led his team on to victory in 1968, a total of 3 of the survivors played in that final. After the match they dedicated the trophy to all of those who lost their lives in the tragic accident.
