Lab #30 28th amendment

I believe that the 28th amendment should have to deal with how we come about getting our next president. I believe that the president should be picked by the majority of America. Not by our delegates, which they are only a few thousands delicate where there are a millions of American voters.

28th Amendment: The president of the United States of America will be elected by the majority of the American people, not by the electorial collage.

Lab #43 Time Capsul

Alyssa's time capsul is not to be unearthed until December 5th, 2050

The pictures above are placed in my time capsul. The man in the last picture was the builder of this time capsul.

The place where it is barried is in winston salum.

DIRECTIONS:

step 1: walk up my drive way to my house.

Step 2: go around my house to where the deck is.

Step 3: go to the third piller from the left side of the house and start to dig.

You need to make sure that you dig around one foot away from the piller, and 1 foot deep.

Step 4: You have found the time capsul from my time. Good Job!

Lab #12 Bumper Sticker

My cousin always tells her little girls whenever other children are being mean to them, that they have kindeness issues. I thought this would make a good bumber sticker, so i decided to make it a bumber sticker. This is because i want the world especially America to stop being mean to each other and just get along and we can all be in peace.

Lab # 19

What I think will be judged most harshly 100 years from now are the fact that people wasted to much.

As humans, we consume alot. The more we consume, the more we lose. We're like parasites.

If humans discontinue the wasting, switch to solar powered things, organic foods, and clean fuel 100 years from now, I think they would look down upon us because the way we live now is so harmful to the environment. We hurt the Earth, and the next generations to come will probably be more aware of what we have and thankful for it thatn how much more there is to take.

If things change...

Lab #3 How much would you sell your permanent right to vote for?

I walked around the mall and I do not know any of them. Some of them didn't care and just wanted the money while others would never sell their vote. One guy put an exact amount to buy a new truck.

Lab #45 Day of Silence

So I observed a day of silence.

And....of course, I had to remind myself over and over to BE QUIET.

No one at first really noticed that I wasn't talking, because (in particular classes) I'm always quiet. I had to find new ways to communicate. I found writting down what I was going to say effective, but it took twice as long and it felt really awkward having someone hover over your shoulder looking at what you're writting down.

There were times where I really wanted to voice my opinion about something. But I couldn't, so I was like DAMN! I can't talk!

I could've used sign language, but I can't sign.

And no one would've understood it anyway.

Finally I couldn't take it anymore, I had to talk. So sometime at the end of the day, I yelled at the top of my lungs.

But other than that it was alot of fun. I enjoy being silent.

I'll do it more often.

It makes me feel smart.

Lab #21 Sidewalk Chalk!

I had fun doing this lab because I have not played with chalk in a really long time. Although I am not an artist, people who passed by me thought it was a very nice idea. I wrote this in a spot by the park so it can remind kids to be kind to others!

Lab #32 Leater to the editor

Dear Editor,

It takes more than just book learning to build a person. The "No Chil Left Behin" law
forgets that rule.
If you cut back on things that they think are "extra," like music and art classes, then you
then you might as well be teaching machines how to spit out answers.
The biggest thing you can teach someone is how to think in a creative way. That's how
you get new ideas, not just memorizing old ideas. Of course you have to know enough to
get by in the day-to-day world, but those things just help you make a living. Life is so
much more than your job and paycheck.
They are leaving children behind-children who want to sing,or paint, or dance, or write
poetry. And those children are just as important as the ones who want to do algebra and
chemistry.
Your head won't work without your heart and your heart won't work without your head.
Let kids learn with both.

Lab #10

Well, I was actually able to not use my phone for a day. It was definitely hard not to use it though and I had to warn people I wasn't going to be using it the day before. My parents live pretty far away so I do rely on my cell phone to talk to them. Also, I saw the calls that came in and when I saw my viola teacher had called, I had to get someone else to call her for me (I hope that's not cheating too much). I guess I'm pretty dependent on my phone. 

Lab #5

This is me with my friend Qiudi! She is Chinese, lived in Japan for a few years and now lives in America. Here are four ways we are similar...

1. We laugh about the same things.
2. I think we spend too much time trying to do well on our homework.
3. We both love to eat oriental ramen noodles at 2 in the morning.
4. We are both very quiet in social situations.

Lab #16

This was the first time I had taken a bus in North Carolina. I was with my friend and he didn't exactly know that he was supposed to put the money in the machine and not hand it to the driver so he learned something new...I felt kind of silly having my picture taken on the bus and I think the person behind me thought I was a bit crazy. It was a fun and cheap ride and since I can't drive, it was just nice to get off campus.
