The reason I have put up the Des Moines junior rowing club site is because I am a member of this team. The only problem is 3 of the 5 rowers are graduating this year so they will no longer be on the team.

We are looking for more people to join the team because Quinn (the other rower who is not graduating) and I don’t want to just do singles, doubles, and sub for the master boats. We desperately need more people on the team so that the junior rowing team doesn’t have to end.

It is the passing of the 66^th annual Emmy award show. In this year’s show it seems that breaking bad has taken all the awards?!

Personally I don’t like the show I thought it was boring but could this be a reason to give it another chance?

This is a beforehand look at the Emmys and thinking about it. It really catches your eye to see Seth McFarlan front and center.

I think you should read this article and see what someone was thinking was going to happen then compare to what actually did.

Robin Williams’s death was extremely disappointing to people all over. R.I.P He was an amazing actor and maybe even a legend.

People are trying to say that money problems caused his death. Others say it was depression.

What do you think? I feel like whenever you saw him weather it was in a movie or a commercial or even a talk show. He was always happy.

I wonder what happened. What made this happen?

What caused him to give up? We may never know.

 

 

My first blog

I am Olivea. I am 14 years old. I am an only child from Iowa.

I have lived in Iowa my entire life. I am in high school.

I try my best and work hard in school. I try to make good choices and be my own person.

I try to get to classes on time which can be very hard with the crowded halls.

I am in rowing and I love being outdoors. I don't like school that much but I still try my best.

I am blogging for Mr. Cundiff's 5th block class. We are all starting blogs to share about us and our opinions on the world around us.

I am a freshman in this class.

Moving from middle school to high school has been a big change. I am already realizing that it will be very different in some ways and the same in others.

 I am learning that not only will be expected to get all our work done and turned in but we have to do it by ourselves there won’t be reminders from our teachers.

So far I like most of my classes. The only class I don’t like is conceptual physics.

My favorite class is either English or journalism because I actually like my teachers in those classes.

I also really like art because a lot of my friends are in it and it is a lot of fun. Plus Mrs. Lange is really nice.

So far this year has been a lot of fun. I am already making lots of new friends and meeting a lot of new people.

I think that if I try hard and focus on my grades I can get straight A’s this year. That also might mean giving up friends and basically the social life I don’t actually have.

I lost a lot of my friends in 3^rd grade when I transferred to Hubbell from walnut St. School. Which is pretty disappointing but I have ran into a lot of them this year and it’s crazy that we still remember each other after so many years.

I'm Olivea and this is my blog.
