Lions Band!!

Okayso as you know, i am in marching band and i live in missiissippi. In MS, there is an all-state band called Lions Band. Its the best of the best. Like, everyone from all over the state tries out and only the BEST make it. My friend kiran is 2nd chair in LB. Im not old enough to be in it yet, but i can be next year. In 9th grade, im going to audition ....And I WILL make it. I want to soooooo bad. This year the LB is going to Sydney Australia. I wish i was going...oh well. kiran will take pics for me and maybe he'll teach me their cadence...idk. But auditions are in november and people usually start learning their LB solos around January or Feb. then perfect them for the other months. . . . thats how serious it is...the MS All-State LB wins the international championship alot....like theyve done it like 23 times... so thats how good they are........and i want to make it sooooooooooooo bad. so i WILL. Dont expect anymore posts untill november, i'll be practicing :D byebye

My Super-Fantastic USH Teacher!

Okayso, I have always hated Social Studies. All you hear is snores because the teacher has put 3/4ths of the class to sleep by droning on and on in that boring monotone. *yawn* . "In 1835...blah blah blah" Not to mention the things that you do learn are probably wrong or slanted b/c your teacher is probably either stupid or a liberal. I could never stand it.

Not this year!! This year i have the super fantastic amazingly Christian conservative COACH ZACH NOBLES!!! See, I have never learned in Social Studies before. This year, I am learning, [I am not saying I'm making good grades, cause....uh...i have a 94 :(...] But anyways, now, I actually LIKE history. I asked for several history books for Christmas, including The Federalists Papers, The Politically Incorrect Guide to The Founding Fathers, The US Constitution, The Declaration of Independance, A Time For Freedom, and Glenn Beck's Common Sense.

So I love history now. As Henry Adams said, "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tall where his influence stops." Well, Coach Nobles has affected my life for the better....I might become a College Professor the teaches history b/c of him....

Some of you may be saying, "What exactly is so great about this guy?'' Well, Coach Nobles has a different way of teaching, I guess you'd say. He does the power points that you are supposed to copy off the board, and he gives a..... lecture....I guess you'd call it. It's not a boring lecture, though. He really gets into it and kindof sortof acts it out... He teaches history like he's telling a story.

It's funny to me, how teenagers can memorize songs, quote Twilight, and learn dances, but cannot tell you who our Vice President is, or our Secretary of State is, or who wrote the Declaration of Independance. They say it's *boring*, and who needs to know that? There is a saying that you must learn history or you are doomed to repeat it.....Well, thats is true. America is on its way to becoming Venezuala, and none of our youth cares! (btw I am 13 and am writing this completely on my own so you can't say this is some old guy that lives in his momma's basement lol)

Well.....That's all for now, *folks*. lol.
