When I was in the sixth grade there was a group of guys that thought they were better than everyone else.  They would make fun of everyone and they were the only ones that could say anything or anything they would do is the best thing ever.  They starting in on one of my friends and I one day and did not let up.  They would just make fun of the things you say and the cloths we wore.  We would say stuff back but then they would just do it all even more.  We would just ignore them most of the time but when they would make fun of someone that would not stand up for themselves we would step in and they would turn their attention towards us.  So this went on all year and about a week left in school we got into a fight and we beat the crap out of the one boy who made the most fun of everyone.  We got suspended for the last week of school.  When I look at it now it was worth it because for the next two years they did not mess with us at all and they let up a lot on everyone else.

In English we had to find a topic about things happening in the world, and write about it.  I decided to write about the Health Care Bill that has been passed.  I read that it will force everyone to have to buy health insurance.  The first things is that the government can not force anyone to buy something if they don't want it.  Another thing is that why should tax payers have to pay the billions more to force everyone to buy it when no one is turned away because they cant pay.  So why in the world should they spend all that money, and have my grandchildren still paying off the debt from it instead of just leaving most of it alone.  I did read that it will make insurance companies take you even if you have a pre-existing condition.

At times I can experience test anxiety.  It is not so much with test throughout the course of the class, but with bigger test.  I can fell some anxiety when I am about to take a final, or something that is worth a large part of the class grade.  I felt a lot of anxiety when I took the ACT, and it was because I can not take timed test very well.  All the ACT is good for is to see if you can speed through the test, and get the questions right.  I don't think it is a very good way of finding out about what you know.  About the only way for me to not have any anxiety over a test is to study. GO FIGURE!  As long as I study I feel like I will do better on it, and not feel as nervous.

I believe that the statements that are given are true.  For many test, and important things I will write down as well as read it the important facts.  When I am learning how to build things, or how to fix something i need to see it, and I need to do it myself.  For most people reading something will do the job to a certain degree,  but to really learn it you need to write things down, and say them.  Just like the statement when I do, and say something is how I learn the best.  I have always heard that the only way to is for you to learn something is for you to do it.
