Newspaper Article – The County Edge

helpjack — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:43:40 +0000

Today I got to do an interview with the County Edge, which are a newspaper in union county. The interview was about the whole entire SAT story and about raising the money for this program. I was so nervous at first when they picked up the phone but as soon as they let me talk I wasn’t nervous at all and it all went by very quickly. So if you would like to you can pick up one on Friday and see me in there with an article. WOW! I am just so happy that I’m getting to do this. I would like to thank Mrs.Kristin and Mr.Richy for doing the newspaper article.

The newspaper asked for a picture of me. I hope they’re not scared when they see it. We got dressed up and took my nice picture.

letter of joy

I have just received a letter from the duke tip program congratulating me on my score on the SAT. I am in 7th grade and got over a 1200 on my SAT. They said in the letter that I was in the top 25% out of 70,000 people. Also I have been invited to a 3 week long summer camp at Appalachain state university (ASU). The cost is $3200 and I have to earn it by May 1st. But I’m in 7th grade so I don’t have a job. But I don’t know how to earn the money so if you could please make some suggestions please do. Jack

Hey again if you have seen I have posted some videos that I took with my teacher from last year. She made me have the best year I have ever had. She was a cool teacher and I never heard anyone say something negative about her. She has also convinced me into taking international relations instead of Appalachian tales. So I think she was a nice teacher.

What class to take?

So the real question is do want to do a really fun class now or do I want to do something that will help me in life like 20 years from now. I am still thinking of what class to take. I am still deciding between Appalachian tales and International relations. The book says Appalachian tales is all about the literature, culture, customs, ecosystems, and folklore of the Appalachian trail and Blue Ridge Mountains and International relations is all about things like terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, ethnic conflict, global stuff and international law.

What class should I take? Leave comments.

How serious I am

Today I did some videos with me about what class to take and about when I come back I want to be smarter and also I have one about the fact that I just like to learn. When I did these they were serious videos and I really do mean what I am saying my mom did not have signs up there for me to read and it is not so I can look smarter it is true all of it.

I want to take the Duke TIP class so badly

I want to go back to school next year smarter.

Here’s my scoutmaster Mr. Willamen. We tried 3 times to take these videos. The first time our camera ran out of batteries. The second time, we had to reschedule. Before the cub service day, we got together and filmed some videos.

Today Mr.Willemin and I went to the Waxhaw museum and did some videos about scouts and then we had some fun and did some bloopers. We had a lot of fun and nobody was hurt in the making.
