Pln 20 Phelps' Big Mistake

This past Thursday professional swimmer Michael Phelps was caught smoking a marijuana bong. To start off this isn’t only stupid it ruined his reputation. Phelps lost all of his sponsorships and is now suspended from swimming for three months. I bet that he regrets every second of doing this, because he just threw away all of his endorsements. This is just like throwing away a life time supply of money. He would have been set for life with all of the money coming off his endorsements. Even though he wasted the amazing position he had worked so hard for his fans will never look at him the same. I can say that I will never look at him the same, and neither will the hundreds and hundreds of young swimmers that look up to him as a role model and a hero. Now he has an even heaver weight to carry on his shoulders but I think that if he stays clean and works even harder he can earn his reputation back.

PlN Lost Generation

When the video lost generation started and the author was speaking about what will happen in the future or our generation. When going down the list I found many of the words spoken hard to believe, because of what my mother and father have taught me. Although when the reader started going up I found more of the thing said believable. I can relate that to what we are doing now because in my generation I want a clean, safe environment, but this won’t just happen. I have to work at it and change the world just like the person next to me.

I Remember When

This Friday during class we had watched a video about little children telling the world that they remember when. They had remembered when, new and exciting things back then are now old and out dated. This video really opened my eyes on how the world changes every day, and how something new is created or how something old is thrown away. I also remember when all the boys and girls that lived in my neighborhood were outside playing and not watching TV, texting or talking on a cell phone. I now realize how the world has changed in such little time and how nobody notices when something new replaces something old.

Three item intro

Dirt Biking
My dirt bike is currently a 125 engine with the raised kit for my bike; it is a four stroke and is a trail bike. I have had this one for a long time and will be soon selling it to get a 250. The significance on this item is that I get to relax, have a little fun and let go everything when I ride. This item helps me to act braver and that I can do whatever I want I just have to put my mind to it.
Snowboarding
Snowboarding along with football and dirt biking is my favorite activity. The significance of the object is that I learn how to coordinate my mind with my feet, also it teaches me that I will never get it the first time so I have to get back up on my feet and try again. This item makes me believe that I will learn from my mistakes.
Football
This item to me is not just a game it is my favorite game. The significance of this game is to score the most touchdowns and while doing so make a few great plays. This game makes me think different because it shows me that it takes practice to become better and that I have to work my hardest to get what I want.
