Do Your Job

This short story is about how no one wants to take responsibility.  by saying "everybody" was asked to do it,  but "nobody" did and and "everbody" blamed "somebody" show how people refuse to step up and get the job done when they are asked.  In the end, with clever wording, the job got done becasue "nobody" did what "anybody" could have done.  Our responsibilites as knights is to get our job done.  As this junior year is starting to wrap up i have to ask myself if i got my job done.  i feel that this has been a strong year for me.  i have gotten all my grades up and made honor roll twice.  everybody said how junior year is the most important and i took that to heart.  i worked hard to get my grades up and worked hard to get into this college process.  so far i ahve done my job, but it is not over yet.

DO YOUR JOB KNIGHTS!!!

College Fair

Today all the juniors went to a college fair in the gym.  the whole gym was filled with schools from around the country.  it was a good expierience and a good way to get into the college process and the college world.  i looked at UMass lowell and Dartmouth.  i also looked at St. Anselms and university of Tampa.  i am currently undecided and was told that most students are.  im looking forward to starting the college process.

Boston Bomb

The Boston Marathon bombing was a tragedy.  after the bombings, the suspects faces were plastered all over facebook, twitter, the news, and all other social media.  these pictures helped people stay alert and on the look out for these suspects.  after being spotted the suspects tried to run but the law enforcment soon caught up witht hem and within a few days they were caught.  social media definatley played a large role at keeping the public aware of the situation and what was happening.

    

NCPA

Over the weekend i won first place at the NCPA tournament at Boston Paintball.  Nick Mercuri, James Kelly, and myself played a best of 9 winning the first 5 to secure our win.  we beat our opponent 5-0 and continued to play the last four points for fun.  we now have a chance to go down to florida to play in the NCPA championship and become the highschool champions. 

Easter

Every Easter my family and I start out the day by going to the 9:00 Mass.  After Mass we go home and change and wait untill about noon before we go to my grandparents house.  at my grandparetns house the house is always full of family and friends.  the atmosphere is always light and happy.  while my grandparents cook there is the typical Italian family bickering between everyone but it is all part of the occasion, it wouldnt be the same without it.  when the food is done we all sit at the table and pray before we eat.  there is always enough food made to feed an army and plenty of left overs to take home.  this is one of my favorite times of year becasue it is alwasy a great time getting together with the family at Easter.

North Korea uclear Weapons

in their recent tests, North Korea has only displayed missiles that could reach South Korea or Japan.  Congress has been warned of a new missle that can reach the west coast of the United States.  the united stsaes says they are enhancing defenses along the coast especialy in Alaska.  defenses were alerady strenthened after Koreas "pre-emptive" strike threat.  America is also concerened about North Koreas young leader.  they feel he is trying to prove himself with these large military acts.  Kim Jong-Un is also threatening a Second Korean War with the backing of nuclear weapons.  The United sees him as a lose cannon and can not be sure of his stabilit

SocialMedia Traps

As a result of Facebook's f8 conference, Marc Zuckererg wants to become the "gatekeeper" of all the major websites.  Zuckerburg has proposed that he will intergrate his partners into Facebook as long as the visitors to the site log into Facebook before they can access the sight.  This means you will not be able to acess the big sites if you do not have a facebook account. Zuckerberg will soon have a monopoly of all the luxuries of the web.  A lot of people have been reacting negativley towards this idea of combining all websites with facebook.  Also facebook has been getting bad comments towards their new additions to the webpage.  With the institution of music, facebook hopes to become a hub for entertianment, not just a social zone.  Also with the addition of the new timelinefeature, users have been saying it is going to just make their facebok experience more annoying.  Some say it will make them more anti-social rather then social.  In my opinion there will be a large fluxuation in people using facebook.  I feel like a lot of the old facebook users will leave because of all the new changes, but there will also be a large income of new users.
