Tecumseh

Tecumseh is a talented indian leader. He is a skilled warrior and a brilliant speaker. He also warrened other tribes that something bad was about to happen and he just wasnt protecting his tribe but other trubes too. Tecumseh was a leader of the Shawnee people. He is a national hero in Canada. He was born in 1768 in the Ohio Country. Tecumseh join forces with the british and with out him it would have been unlikely for the british would have been able to defend the upper canada at the begging of the war.

Which one do you think???

Does history make a great leaders or does a great leader make history?? I believe that a great leader makes history because you need to have a leader to do anything in the history. You need to have someone that can take a charge and make history. Leaders have to do something to make history. History doesn’t just come to the leaders. The leaders have to prove themselves.

A leader……

I think my friend Julia is a leader. She is a leader on the basketball team for our school. On the court she is brave, smart and thinks of others. She is brave on the court because she isn’t afraid to dive for a ball or go in for the rebound. She may be small but she is quick. Julia is smart because she makes smart passes to her team mates and she knows what plays to call and which ones will work and which ones wont. She also thinks of others because when she sees a post player posting up she will feed the ball down low to them instead of taking the shot. But an other example when she is smart is when she knows that she is wide open for the shot she takes it but if shes not then she will pass it. She isnt the loudest person one the court but she is the best leader on the team.

Are You A Leader??

What makes a good leader? A good leader is someone who takes charge in something, smart, brave and isn’t afford to stand up for what they believe in. But they also are not people that boss people around and tell them what to do and they are not mean. Good leaders are not born with these characteristics they are made with them. Leaders are not always the loud and annoying people they are sometimes the quite people. A time when I was a leader was about 2 years ago. I was playing basketball at the Park & Rec for the Gannon league. I  will never forget this night. My dad was the coach and we were down by like 10 at half time and this team hasn’t lost a game yet so we wanted to win really bad. So I start shooting and I was making most of them in with 2 minutes left we were down by 2 so i get they ball at the 3 point line and i shot it and it went in so we were up by one point and my team mates were cheering. But with like 1 minute left some person on our team fouls someone on the other team so that person gets on the foul line and they made one out of two and then we went into over time. But we couldn’t hold them and they won by like 5 points. But i was a leader that night because i out they team on my back and I took charge and we almost one but my team mates then knew what a leader I was and how I gave it my all that night for them. A time when I followed a leader was last year on my school team when Rachael was our captain. Anybody at any time can be a leader its anybody that will take charge for anything. I am usually a follower than a leader but when I have to be a leader then I will step it up and prove myself also when I see something not right then I will say something or do something about it. My strongest abilities as a leader is thinking of someone else’s feelings first and thinking of other people before i think about me. What i think is standing in my way before i could become a leader is i think about sometimes if i say or do something then what are people going think or say about what i did or say so that’s whats standing in my way.

What this object means to me!!!

This picture is of a pin that my great grandma gave to my grandma to give to me. My great grandma lived in Maine and she was my grandpas mother. Her name was Mildrid and she was 84 and I only got to see her once a year so when I did we usally spent most of our time up there with her. On  the pin it had a M on it and she thought that since my name also started with an M that I would be the perfect person to have it. It ment  alot to me when my grandma said that.

Different types of ships!!!

The USS Congress and the USS Reagan has many differences about each ship. The USS Congress is one of six old navy ships. One of the newest navy ships is the USS Reagan. The old navy ship could hold 1265 tons and the newer navy ship could hold 100,ooo tons. That is a really big difference between tons. The new navy ship is 1092 feet tall and weighs to be about 66,200 pounds. The old navy ship cost to be about 197,246. The old navy ship could carry about 340 officers.

The Cherry Tree and the small hatchet!!!

Have you ever heard the story of The Cherry Tree. George Washington didn’t cut down his fathers cherry tree it was a myth. I did a little research to see if the story was true or not and it said that it wasn’t that the author heard it from a relative and thought it was real. The famous saying in this story was “I cannot tell a lie, father, you know I cannot tell a lie, I did cut it with my little hatchet.” The peoplewanted the readers to think that George Washington didn’t lie and that he is an onist person.

What would happen if……………

What would happen if all the sports kids play now become extinct???? If all the sports become extinct like basketball, baseball, softball, football, lacross ect. This would be bad for the later generation because what will kids do after school. Playing sports keep kids out of trouble but if there is no more sports then what are kids going to do but get into trouble.

Strick or a Loose Construction

If I had to choose of obeying the Constitution or not I would be on the loose Constitution. Most people want to have fun and know that your not going to get into trouble for it earlier. Most people also want to bay by the rules and not get into trouble. So I think if we were able to twist some words around with out getting our self into trouble people would be a lot happier knowing that they can do fun things with out breaking the laws or getting into trouble.

An Old Building!!!!!

An old building is Virginia’s capital building. It was designed by Thomas Jefferson in 1785. Have any of you people went to see this awesome building. When I first looked at this building I was wondering what those two white bars were in the front of the building. I didn’t know if they were supporting the building or if they were just there for decoration. In this case they were there for just decoration. In the picture the building looks new not old but they just rebuilt the inside so it looks really nice for when people come to visit.
