Post Test

            I was really nervous for the first test in the class, due to the fact that I wanted to do really good and get a high grade on the first test in the class. My expectations were in order to do my best, due to the fact that I knew that I prepared my self really good for the test. I feel like I did very well on the test. I study for hours for the test. The thing that I study the most was mainly vocabulary, due in order to the fact that it is what I am really weak at, I at all times had trouble remembering the definitions for words. With vocabulary I made flash cards and it was very beneficial for me. I will not switch up next time for the next test. Not having multiple choices on the test was a little over whelming at first because in high school the test are usually multiple choice. Then I got the hang of it, because I had to explain my answer better. Cause instead of bubbling in the answer choice you have to explain your reason for answer.

            I thought that the exam would have a lot more questions than it did, and harder. Because I am not a good test taker that is why I thought the test was going to be hard. The hardest part on the test for me was the vocabulary. I felt that the short answers were kind of easy for me, due in order to the fact that we reviewed the short answers in class. So I had a better understanding of the topics that was going in order to be on the test. Cause in class all of us split up into groups and present each of our topics in order to the class.

Words to me

        Last summer it was very different from all the other summers that I had in these past few years. In my last few summers I would go to bed before a lot of people did because I would have to get up early to go to football workouts. Usually in the summer I would work out two times a day for football and track. I would stay after the football workouts and play football with my teammates to get better, but everything change when I stop playing football. (The school that I went to was Westside high school, and the school is a 6A school). We were a young team, and we did not do to good going the season.  I did not have to work out at all. It made me miss football, so last summer me and my friends would go up to the school and play football with each other.

            Most of the time in the summer I would barely be home. I like to go out and do stuff because I do not have any activities inside that I like to do. I just rather be around people that I can talk to and do stuff with, because I do not have anyone around to talk to when my parents are not home.

            Usually during the summer I would go out of town to see my family, but this summer I did not go out of town. I still do not know why I did not see my family that lives in Texas, and my mom did not want to fly up to Ohio because she is going sometime in October. So I just stayed in Houston the whole summer. I was kind of upset not seeing my family members in Ohio because I do not see them a lot.

            So basically I just chilled in Houston and did stuff with my friends. We would go paint balling, go swimming, and go over to each other’s house. I highly suggest people to go paint balling because it is really fun, but it hurts when you get hit with a paintball on nothing but skin. It will leave a bruise. A couple of my friends have houses with pools. So my friends and I would go over to their house and swim every other day. If I am not at my house I would be at one of my friends house, because I feel like I am being held in a prison. I love to be outside of my house.

First blog

My name is Nathan Rice. I am 19 years old and I am a college student at Blinn College. I just graduated from Westside High School in Houston. Ever since I was little I love playing football so, I started playing organized football my whole life. The people who never seen me play they think that I was not good at football because of my height. Until they seen me play. But small colleges were recruiting me to play football, but I had a concussion. So colleges lost interest in me because I was out for most of the season. I stop playing after the season because I already had to many concussions. So I do not want to risk my life. In the 8^th grade I found my new love for track. I ran track for my high school. For the past few years I made it to regionals in track. The Regional track meet is the track meet that determines on who goes to the State track meet. One of the many things that I love to run track is that it is a really completive sport. I am a very completive person. Round the 4^th grade I started to play basketball. I stop playing basketball after the 8^th grade in light of the fact that I did not take basketball serious I just played for fun. I just wanted to devote my time to just do sports that I am serious about.

My hobbies are going out with my friends, working out and staying active. I really do not like staying inside for a long period of time. I get bored because I do not have any activities in the house. I like to do stuff with my friends because I am an only child. It gets really boring around the house for me when you have no one your age to talk to. When I get bored when I am in the house I go outside and run or go play any type of sports with my friends. This is how I stay active. That is why I am barley home for that reason I go out a lot.
