This year is going by really fast.  One day I was excited to be a senior now all of a sudden  we are 3 months from graduating. I feel this has been one of my best years in high school. I've been getting my work done and staying out of trouble.  My mother and sister are proud of my grades and so am I. Even though we are spending a lot of money for Senior dues and other things it has  been a real productive year. Other than that the cold weather has been getting on my nerves and i cant wait till it gets nice outside so we can start playing ball in St. Nicholas Park or go to Riverbank State Park. Since it's been cold I've been trying to find some gyms to play ball in and that never works out because every body and they mother try to come. Besides that I kinda can't wait for college too come so I can get out the house and live on my own. It will take more responsibilities but i think im ready for the challenge. I also heard college can be   "Four of the best years of your life" which is another reason why im so estatic.

Throughout the past week or two, we've been reading "Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare. I would have too say that's it's a pretty decent read (so far). The language is kinda confusing but sooner or later we'll get used to it. It is supposed to be a comedy play believed to have been written between 1590 and 1596. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors  who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest, which is what ms.hegeman told us. But as of right now we're nowhere near that part. We are at the part where Hermia and Helena argue. They argue because Helena is convinced Hermia, her closest and oldest friend, is “…one of this confederacy…” to mock her. They are also arguing because Hermia is convinced Helena is scorning her by refusing Lysander’s love after somehow managing to make him fall in love with her (Helena) and, hence, out of love with herself (Hermia). Hopefully we read more and get too the "funny" parts

In economics we have been learning about free enterprises, consumers and producers.  A Free enterprise is a type of economy where products, prices, and services are determined by the market, not the government. Consumers are people who purchase goods and services for their personal use and producers are people, countries or companies that make, grow or supply goods for sale. I like learning about all of these things because one day i would like to pursue my dream of becoming an entrepreneur and hopefully owning my own business. Another class i would like to talk about is gym. At first gym class was getting on my nerves with all those projects and test, i still did them though.  Now he let's us play basketball or catch up on other classes. Every time we play it's nothing but fun and competitive games. I have  a class full of very competitive people and the games are always close. I also have a good relationship with the P.E teacher  Mr. G and a good relationship with Ms.P.

Self Selected Response

My SSR is on the movie "I am legend". I Am Legend is a 2007 American post-apocalyptic science fiction horror film   starring Will Smith. It is based of the 1954 novel of the same name, following 1964's "The Last Man on Earth" and 1971's "The Omega Man." Smith plays Scientist Robert Neville, who is immune to a man-made virus originally created to cure cancer. He works to create a   remedy while defending himself against mutants created by the virus. This movie has been one of my favorite movies ever since it came out. Every single time i watch this movie, it always seems to catch my attention. I could honestly watch this over and over again.  This is one of my favorite movies because not only does it have alot of eye catching action but  Will Smith delivers a good role and really focuses on giving us a picture of "what it would be like"  to be the last man on earth, living off the land in NYC. This is the real strength of this movie; there's really not a lot of blood or gore or zombie scenes at all. Yet I was fascinated as Robert goes through his "typical days" in NYC. Every moment was full of jeopardy. And occasionally we got some relief from Smith's trademark humor that blended seamlessly with the rest of his performance to give us "what it would be like" with a powerful delivery that just takes our breath.

This senior year has been pretty good so far. We've been doing alot of school work and alot more college work,  it's alittle tiring and stressful but it will all be worth it soon. I've gotten accepted to a few colleges so far and felt like the happiest man in the world but I know I got to keep my grades up and continue to pass my classes. Other than that  we will be going into a new year in a few more weeks and I'm just happy that me and my loved ones will be seeing another year. Sport's wise, this year my teams aren't doing so good like my Knicks and jets. Hopefully going into the new year they will get it together. I'm also trying to get a job so I can help my parents pay for college and to have some pocket money for myself. I honestly just can't wait too graduate and get out of  Thurgood Marshall Academy. I will be visiting some old teachers and students though cause I will miss high school. I'm running out of ideas and things to write about so this is the end of my free write!!
