Chris's Gardner's Pursuit of happiness chapters 1-2

This book is a auto biography called Pursuit of Happiness about a man named Chris gardner. So far in the book Chris is still a child and he mostly talks about his parents. His mom was a teacher and always forced him to do good in school. As the book progresses you can see that Chris is actually smart and as a child he already had a long-term plan for the rest of his life. Since his dad left the family he never knew who his dad was so he swore to himself that when he grew up he was going to do anything and everything he can to make sure his son knew who he was. I can see already that this book is a very emotional book. Even early on in chapter 2 Chris was worried about his mom who slept in a living room on a couch with he shoes on in case she had to get grab the baby and get all the kids out of the house. If you haven't noticed by now Chris's family was very poor and his mom was barely able to afford a house. So, far in the book his family is struggling and struggling very bad. I fear that later in the book something will happen to his mother because she is brought up many times in the book and Chris is very worried about her and I think that means something in the book at this time.

Time Out

Time out is a book by W.C Mack. This book is about two twins named Owen and Russell Evans. In the beginning basically the "local basketball team" had one spot open for one more player and both Owen and Russel want the spot but Owen gets the spot! My favorite character in the book is Russel because when I read the book, I felt that he was a lot like me. He loved math and love sports just me in real life. Also he cares about he's family a lot and that's why when he seen his brother changing a lot and falling into the wrong path Russel helped to get him back into the right path for him. Also I do that all the time with my brother. I have a little brother and I always go out of my way to make sure that he is going through the right path through life so thats why how I relate a lot to this book.

A life who tried to same many

Plane Disappears in the Middle of the Ocean

At 38 years old born on August 18,1934 Roberto Clemente was one of the greatest baseball players of all-time. He played for the Pittsburgh Pirates and has 3,000 baseball hits in his baseball career. There are only 9 other people that have 3,000 hits in their careers. There is no doubt that he is one of the best of all time.

On December 31,1972 at “9:22 the plane was set to fly” to Puerto Rico. Clemente on the way to take aid to Puerto Rico after an earthquake destroyed a lot of the country. But 5 minutes after the plane took off the “engine caught fire and seconds later blew the plane to pieces.” “The search for his body began immediately but only the pilot's body was recovered.” Scuba divers, family members and police are still looking for his body.

Clemente sacrificed his life to try to help others. He was a great person not just at this moment but throughout his entire life. In Puerto Rico he wanted to make a sports stadium there that kids in Poverty over there can play in for free as well. Clemente just always helped in the community and really helped alot in the game of baseball and in people's lives.

Time out vs Crossover

The two books I will be comparing are The crossover by Kwame Alexander and Time out. They both hhplay basketball. In the book crossover both twins are really good at basketball. They are both the stars of the team also you can see that both twins are a lot alike personality wise, they look alike, and they play alike. But in Time Out the twins in the middle of the book they are not much alike at all they hang out with different people  the not really together and now Owen(one of the twins) is more into just playing basketball while Russel (the other twin) is more into the mathematic behind basketball and also just math in general. It's kind of funny because the in the begining both twins in both books are really close. But as the book goes on they start to go further and further apart from each other. But, in the crossover they really never get as close as the two twins were again and in Time-out they get pretty close. Lastly what brought them apart was pretty different in crossover a girl brought the twins apart and in Time Out basketball brought them apart.

Should Schools Have Armed Guards?

Why all schools should have armed guards 

Between January 1, 2015 and October 10, 2015 "there have been 52 school shootings that have killed 30 people and injured 53 other s" according to Townhall.com.  Many kids are dying because of the lack of Safety in Schools and if all schools had armed guard less and less shootings will happen.

Shooting are successful for the shooters because of the lack of security. when there is an armed guard on duty there is less of a chance for the shooters to be successful  for thee shooter to be a success. The has been a shooting prevented before. Three years ago a there was a shooting stopped in schools by a armed guard.

Secondly, schools in Connecticut have already been seeing armed guards for many years and for many years there has not been a shooting there. So if we have guards there will be less of a chance for there to be a successful shooting. Also according to townhall.com it doesn't feel as "awkward" for the kids to see an armed guard every day. Every day the armed guard greets the kids and the kids are fine with the armed guard been in their school.

"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" this was said by the executive vice president of the NRA, Wayne LaPierre. He is very true how are schools supposed to stop a shooting with no guards to protect students. LaPierre said that armed guards are the "one thing that keep people safe in schools" and without them these shooting will just continue to happen.

People might say that armed guards are too expensive but schools cannot put money over the safety of children.  The more time that passes by without armed guards in schools the more children and staff die because of shooting. Schools need to have armed guards before another shooting takes place and more people die.

In conclusion, armed guards must be put into schools. More and more students will die if armed guards in schools aren’t enforced. Students lives depends on this action and we need guards in schools as soon as possible.

This weekend

I am looking foward to the three day weekend this week because of three reasons. This weekend I am playing my first MLG (Major Leauge Gaming) game for call of duty. Also this weekend is a three day weekend. Lastly, I will be posting my first Black Ops 3 sniping montage to YouTube on my channel 

Standing Tall

This is a book about 10 different Latino American with big stories or helped change the world. It contains of Latinos like baseball player Reberto Clemente and also singer Gloria Estefan. My favorite person in the book so far is Roberto Clemente. For the reasons being that I am a baseball player and he was also a baseball player. Also he had a great story. He is not only one of the greatest baseball players of all time, getting 3,000 hits right before his death. He also died trying to help other people. He was going to give aid to People in Puerto Rico after the an deadly earthquake nearly ripped it apart. He was on the plane when the plane malfunctioned and crashed in the middle of the ocean killed every person on board and Roberto Clemene's body was never found. Lastly he always wanted to help kids and many people in Puerto Rico. He always loved kids and wanted to help them. He knew kids were in poverty in Puerto Rico because he used to be one of them. So he wanted to make a stadium for kids over there were new equipment, and a field and coaching was provided for them. But he never got the chance to build it.
