Vex Robotics

Two years ago in fifth grade I was in a vex robotics club and we made three robots to take part in a competition at WCTC.

The object of the game was to take as many balls from the middle of the court and move them up a ramp and onto your side, we had two robots doing this. We also had a robot with an arm to grab the most important thing of the game, the Jack. The game was called High Jacked. At the start it sounded kind of boring but I decided to do it anyway, as it turns outmost of the people there I knew witch made it a lot more fun. It took about three weeks to finish all the planning and building but in the end it was worth it. One contest, one chance, 36 schools, it was the biggest moment of our robot lives. We played hard and our third game the worst thing ever happened, our robot broke down. We were rushing around like crazy. To find the right piece and in the end we had to cut a piece in half.  The robot was working perfectly in about 5 minutes. In the end we came in Fourth place overall we were so happy. It is my favorite memory of my old school I have. 

Baseball

One of the sports I play is Baseball. I love to play mostly because I always play my favorite position, Catcher.
My last season we failed pretty badly, we won 2 out of 15 games, the sad part is that it was against the same team. We tried our best, like in one game when we were winning by 3 points and all of a sudden we switched pitchers, for no reason. That turned out to lead to at least 7-8 runs walked in by the new pitcher, all we could do is hope for three outs, and we got them after around 10 minutes. So, we lost that game by 5 points and we were so close, too. One of my favorite memories was when i stopped a home run. We were already losing but we had a chance to catch up if they didn't get one more point. There were 2 outs, the boy hit it in the infield to the third baseman. The third baseman got it and threw it to first and that's when it happened, he missed. The runner was running to second which the first baseman overthrew the the second baseman. the runners running to third with again the ball was overthrown that's when i knew it was all up to me. I quickly got ready for the ball to  get thrown to me, he threw it to me, perfectly. The ball flew straight over the runners head and right into my glove. I quickly got down and tagged him right in the chest and, it was over, i got the last out and the game was over and we won the game. That is why my favorite sport is baseball.

Thank you for reading I hope you enjoyed!

The First Day of School

The first day of school was a lot of fun even though most of it was learning all of the rules. I had band first and we talked about what we are going to throughout the year and learned all of the rules. After band I had gym and in gym we got our gym lockers and talked about the rules in there after that we talked about what we are going to learn about in heath, afterward we played basketball. For my Third period class i had Spanish which was all review and rule; like usual. Then I went to my Fourth period class which was Academy 21, we made our accounts in Blogger and Google and then it was time for lunch. After lunch I went to to robotics and we played a game in the game we had to sort objects in order of importance if you were stranded in a blizzard 20 miles from  the nearest town. After Robotics I went to Resource, my final class of the day, this is where we learned about the new program One Note. The First day was awesome the second day was just as good!
