What Happened in Class Today?

Today in Human geography class we first took roll to see if everyone was there. Then he started reading to use this book called "A message to Garcia" . It was about this guy who had to send a message to a Spanish army general during the Spanish American war in Cuba. In the book it was saying how some people don't listen to others and they just do what they want. And the other thing was that some people actually do what people ask you to do. Like the guy in the book that sent the message to the general , as soon as they asked him to do do it he took the message and left. I think Mr. Schick read this to us to show us how some people are today and to teach us a life lesson. That is what i think the story is trying to show us.

Was my first day at John Carroll good?

My Second day at John Carroll

My second day at John Carroll was alright. It was a little weird transitioning from public to private school but i guess that takes awhile to get used to. But other then that I had a great day, Class started with him seeing who is here and that's when class started getting good because that is when he found out everybody's nicknames. Then after that he started going over the class rules and reading over what he expected in us students in his class. When he was done all this he showed us what to do tonight for homework and explained how to use the blog to the students that didn't understand how. Oh and i forgot we got our seats and of course I am in the front of the class like i always am. Well that is how my first day went of Human geography i cant wait to see what the rest of the year is like.

My First day at John Carroll

My first day was very fun and full of excitement. It was also a new experience for me since this year is my first time going to a private school. My day first stared in the auditorium where they went over how the school year is gonna be and what is going to be happening this school year. Then after that we went to meet at our advisory and to get our locker. that part was hard for me because the locker weren't like the lockers at my old school. After we got our lockers we had a fire drill and then they gave us snacks. then the rest of the day I had all my regular classes like math,science,intro to bible,english and of course the most interesting class human geography. Well my first day came to an end and i had a really good time at John Carroll. I can't wait until the school year actually starts!
