Dustin Carter

March 20th, 2008

One time awhile back I got home from school and my mom had me watch the video on Dustin Carter like the video we watched today. I thought that it was amazing that he had gotten over his difficulties and finally became a good wrestler. Since I am planning on wrestling during highschool I thought his story was very inspirational. I am looking to be a good enough wrestler to do good in the competitions we participate in throught the wrestling season in the highschool. The version of the story I watched on the internet was a little bit different and longer and it showed some of the ways that he trained. Dustin had very creative ways of exercising. It was a very insteresting and inspiring video.

Final 8th Grade Project Idea

March 13th, 2008

For my 8th grade project, I have chosen to write a Healthy Diet Book with different types of diets for different types of people. I think this is a good idea because it is about something important, your health and maybe I will learn things that are good for me. Hopefully my book will end up being fairly long since I will have each chapter be for someone different, whether they are young or old or trying to do something specific. My mentor for my project is Mrs. Gianni. She is the cooking teacher so hopefully she will have good information on healthy foods that can be substituted for other foods. To start my project I am planning to write an outline for what my book will include and what goes where in it. I will get my information for my book from my distant relatives since most of my cousins are very well fit and have healthy lifestyles, I will most likely take the traits of how other diet books organize their information. I like my idea for the 8th grade project and I think it will turn out well.
