My Math Skills

During this school year, I think that in math class my skills have gotten better, i dont know whether it is because Im paying more attention in class or because Im practicing in class. My math skills during the year have increased and been better than last year's skills, because Im more confident in myself now, I believe that I can pass this class with a good grade, like last quarter. Im sure that if I study hard for the last couple of exams this quarter Im going to do as good as I did last quarter. Geometry has been slightly easier for me because it has pictures, that I can rely on, and that has helped me a lot to improve in class. I also think that Im ready to go to next year's math class, because even though its going to be harder, I know that I can pass the class if I study hard. In general, I have gotten more confident in myself over the last quarters and I know I can do great in the class.

The Pythagorean Theorem

The actual definition of the Pythagorean Theorem is, Relation in geometry among the three sides of a right triangle.

What I understand from it, is that the Pythagorean Theorem is a way of showing the relationship of the three sides of a right triangle. It is a way of saying that the two legs that form the right angle squared, when added, give you the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The hypotenuse is those two squared sides squared. The equation to solve it is A2 + B2 = C2, A and B being the two legs that form the right angle, and C the Hypotenuse of the triangle. The Pythagorean Theorem is the way of showing the relationship of the triangle's legs.

GPA

On quarter 3, my final grade in math class was a 7, meaning that my GPA was a 4.0. I am very happy with the grade I got last quarter, because it really showed my improvement. I think that I like my grade, because it reflects all the hard work I did during this quarter. Its the best geometry grade Ive had this far, and Im really happy that I got a 7. I hope to keep up the good work for the rest of this remaining quarter, and I know I will keep it up if I study hard and do well on my tests. But in general, Im really happy with the grade I got on quarter 3.

February's 28 Days Change

February normally has 28 days, but there are some special years that adds another day and February has 29 days. Every four years this phenomenon happens, and the year has 366 days, this is called the Leap Year. This happens, because of the rotation of the Earth making the year be 365.4 days long. Therefore a new day is created every four years. I think that this is not a method is something that was done by the Earth is no problem at all for people all around the world. Although sometimes people get confused because we don't really keep track of the years, so sometimes its a little bit confusing. I think that if its something that was done by the rotation of the Earth is something that should be kept that way and we shouldnt change it, even though people want it to be changed.

Q3 Project

I think that this project might be interesting, because we are connecting other subjects with math. We are doing math and humanities at the same time. I think it could be a fun project, because you get to design your own treasure hunt in any country or city that you like. Maybe it will be a little complicated because you need a really clear map of the country/city, but i think its going to be a cool project. I believe that it will be an interesting project to complete, and that its going to be funner than the last couple of projects we have done in the past quarters, because we actually get to design our own thing, like the treasure hunt, where they need to go, and also advertise it, and prepare a portfolio that is good enough, so that people are attracted to the treasure hunt and are willing to go in it. I believe that its going to be fun to do, but that it will require lots of work to make a really good treasure hunt by following the steps they give you and the conditions.

What do you love? How do you love it? Count the ways for me......

I love VANAS. How do you love it? I love it because I get to play my favorite sports which are Volleyball, Basketball, and Soccer, and because we get to compete with the other international schools in Venezuela. I also like it, because I get to see my friends from other schools, and make new friends while we are at the tournament. I also like it, because I get to compete for the first place but as a team, so its really fun, and its a nice experience. When we travel is also great, because we get to go to the other schools and meet more people.

Have I Ever Watched a Great Game?

Yes, Ive watched great games in TV, but none I can remember clearly. I think that recently a good game that I have watched, that kept the crowd with a lot of tension was the basketball game the last week in the tournament with the other schools. The boys in the basketball team were fighting to get the first place, they had won every single game since the beggining of the tournament, and were in first place. They played great, always keeping an advantage of points from the other team. But at the last minutes, the other team suddendly started scoring more and more points. The two teams just scored and kept the final score the same, it was horrible watching the go down by one basket, but then they scored another one. The game was that way until the last seconds when the ECA team scored a basket and they werent able to catch up on them so they lost the game by one basket. We were really proud of the boys though, I didnt think they would get this far, and they did an amazing job! Everyone was really supportive to the teams, everyone cheered and was super happy when they finished second! It trully was a great game that was worth seeing.

What do you do afterschool?

During the week my afterschool activities are always changing a little bit. So normally when we get our of class at 3 o' clock, I go down to the canteen to buy water and some snack, and then I wait for my friends to be ready and we go to change for the afterschool sports. On mondays we usually have basketball practice form 3:15 to 5 pm, I love this practices because I actually feel like I have done something during those two hours of running. On Tuesdays I have soccer practice, and on those practices that we have with Mr. Walker, we train like our resistance and some skills, but most of what we do is resistance. Then on Wednesdays I have band practice until 4 and then Im free for the rest of the afternoon. On Thursdays I have soccer practice again, and on this practices we train mostly like our skills and game strategies. On Fridays we are suppose to have basketball practice again, but sometimes we cant have them, so I sometimes leave at 3 or sometimes at 5 pm. After any of my activities at school, I leave at 5 pm from school, and go home. When I get home, I usually eat a snack while watching tv for half an hour, and then, I do my homework for the next day, and if I have something else I try to finish that too. After doing my homework its time for dinner, so me and my family sit and have dinner, and then we clean up everything. After everything is cleaned up, I take a shower, and skype with my aunt or some friends, or sometimes if I am too tired I just take a book to my room, and read. I usually go to bed around 10:30 pm
