Blog I Fighting For More Then Ourselves
This week I was given the honor to participate in a dodge ball tournament. This tournament was for us kids to not only have a good time but to give some of our cloth's for a just cause. The perpose of this was to raise enough clothing to donate to the Red Cross.
This tournament had about six teams and each team had about six people in total. Each team would then compete against each other. Each team had two tries to stay in the tournament. My team won two matches in a row then went against some strong teams.
We went into the semi finals but lost. We were not upset because we had a great time participating in the tournament and helping in a cause that matters.

Blog V The Investment of Life
The Primary definition of Investment is the investing of money or capital in order to gain profitable returns, as interest, income, or appreciation in value. Investment to me is saving money up for the things that are worth wild. Sometimes in life we try to invest for like a car or a house but there are things in life that is even greater.
These are the things that you would invest your life for. These are your dreams, goals and accomplishments. So yes Investing in money is the ability to save up money for the things you want but investing the things that are worth all of your fight is even better. Investing in your life, your happiness is all you need.
Two other words that I learned this week were compelled and unsustainable.
Compelled means to force or to drive someone to do something
Unsustainable means to not be supported or maintained.

Blog B What I Am Thankful For
The things that I am most thankful for is having a family that loves me through all my ups and downs. The lord has blessed me with such a great mother. He granted me the kind of mother who will tell me when I am wrong and teach me how to be a better man. She was there for me through all the bad times and loved me after. Without her I would probably never be able to be where I am right now. She set the path I needed to follow in order for me to create my foundation and I will use the path given to me to succeed in all my goals.
The last thing I am thankful for is my younger siblings. We fought, argued, laughed, and cried together. They look up to me and as the oldest I must be a great role model for them to follow so that when they get older they may follow the right path just as I did. With this they will be able to succeed in all of their dreams. I am especially thankful to God for letting me stay united with my birth brother. He will always be my Right hand man and I will always and forever have his back.
These are the things that I hold dear to my heart and will never let go. Without them I would probably be a different person. They are my strength and my knowledge; together we can succeed in anything. It indeed takes a village to raise a child.

Blog A Families Love
This week is a week of thanks for many families. So for me I will be spending time with my family, enjoying our time and creating memories that will never be forgotten. Helping my mother cook thanksgiving meal and watching movies with my younger siblings and sleeping will relieve me from all types of stress.
Another thing that relieved me of my stress without effort is just coming home. The feeling of being home with my family has made me feel calm and peaceful. As I walked through the house I could picture all the memories I had in my house. The struggles, the fights, and the happy times as well. It all made me smile and I was actually happy to be home. It truly showed how much I missed everyone.
Even though I will have a good time this thanksgiving I know I have to still prepare for finals. My family is the type of family who will be glad to help me do my work and prepare for tests. We are one pulse, when one person needs help we all are there to help out. So no matter what I will be ready for my finals but will always remember to come back home in order to relax and wind down.

Blog I My Passionate Week
This week was an emotional week for me. Mainly because of the fact that I was watching a movie called Hunger Games. This movie was full of excitement and passion. I watched the movie before but for some reason it had an impact on me this time too.
Living a life of war at a young age these kids in the movie were trained with certain skills by their parents and friends. Every year a child was chosen from each district to participate in a fight to the death. There will only be one winner from a district to win. This little girl was chosen to participate but the main character wouldn’t let that happen because that’s her sister. She took her sister place instead. The battle began and many kids died instantly. It was something that made me wonder why people would do this to kids. I remember that it was a movie and calmed down. Well at least until I saw the most sad scene ever.
There was this little girl and she was the smartest girl ever. She was the one who hid really well and couldn’t be found. I thought she might make it to the end but I was wrong. She began to help the main character in the battles and got caught. The main character got her out and they hugged as much as long as they can, then another kid comes and shoots the little girl with an arrow. She dies slowly but surely while the main character sings to her. The main character gets up and puts up district elevens symbol up which made them go berserk and fight against the security. That scene made me cry.
I began to think about how our lives are now. In some countries there are kids who are trained at young ages so they can be assistance to the military. These kids are also being killed. It makes me sad but at the same time made me appreciate the life I live now. That is what my week was like and what I learned.
