                During the first quarter I feel like I did an ok job of figuring out the new environment. Also,  finding a ways to manage my time with football and being the freshman class vice president. Little tricks like realizing that if you complete all of your completion grades it gives you room for error on big tests can be very helpful. A few good ways to manage your time are to utilize your study hall correctly, go see teachers at tutorial if needed, and to get sleep!                              Study hall is a very special thing that episcopal provides to their students. This is why It is good utilize this hour of time set aside just for you. You should always have a plan for your study hall. For example, after I get home from football practice I do all of the home work for the classes I have before study hall that day. The reason I do this leads into my next topic.

               Human Nature is a very complex topic that can be brought back all the way to the cavemen. Many different people have different views on human the topic of human nature. Some people believe that certain people are born evil and will always have malice inside of them no matter what happens. Some people believe that you can be born evil but you are able to change through situations that you are put through. I don't see either of these as the case.                              I believe that all people are born with good inside of them. Even though some are more prone to evil, one's personality or human nature if u will is defined by the choices a person makes and their actions. For example, if you choose to be around negative people you are more prone to be a negative person. These thoughts just scrape the surface of what human nature really is.

               Waking up in the morning knowing that you will be able to compete in whatever sport it is is a anxious but amazing feeling. On game day you always rest your body so that when it is time to compete your body is ready to take anything that is thrown at it. The saying Hydration is key is a very true thing. Hydrating before and on gameday makes a big difference is performance when it comes to game time. On game day I normally have much trouble focusing on anything else besides how I am going to fine a way to win the game ahead.                 Different sports require different pre-game activities, but two required things that every pre-game routine needs are focus and determination.

Finally, giving teammates words of advise or encouragement can go a long way into giving you an edge on the

             I recently read the short story A very old man with enormous wings. This story was written by  Gabriel Márquez. The entire setting of this short story is in Pelayo in   Elisenda's courtyard.  The point of view in this story is Third person limited  omniscient. Personally I feel like this story's genre is satire because it appears to be a fairy tale for children but it really is meant to show how ridiculous people can act while around something special like them old man with the wings.              Next, multiple different themes are portrayed in this story. These themes include religion, the super natural, and being an outsider. This book show a theme of religion by the author referring to the  old man as an angel. Also, a lady in the story writes to a priest that doesn't believe that the old man is an angel. Next, a supernatural theme takes place in this story simply by the fact that there is a character with wings. Also, I feel as if supernatural is involv
