REAL STEEL (ID)
In 2020, human boxers have been replaced by robots. Charlie Kenton , a former boxer, owns the robot 'Ambush', but loses it to a bull belonging to promoter Ricky. Having made a bet that Ambush would win, Charlie is indebted to Ricky. After the fight, Charlie learns that his ex-girlfriend has died, and that he must attend a hearing deciding the future of their son Max. There, Max's wealthy aunt Debra and her husband Marvin request full custody, which Charlie concedes for $100,000, half in advance, on the condition that Charlie retains Max for three months. Thereupon, Charlie and Max, and Bailey Tallet, the daughter of Charlie's boxing coach, acquire the once-famous robot 'Noisy Boy' and arrange a fight, in which Noisy Boy is destroyed. Attempting to scavenge parts of a new robot, Max and Charlie discover 'Atom', an obsolete but intact robot designed to withstand severe damage, and capable of mimicking its handler's motion. At Max's behest, Charlie pits Atom against the robot 'Metro', whom Atom overcomes. Max convinces Charlie to train Atom, resulting in a series of victories culminating upon national champion 'Twin Cities'. Elated by victory, Max challenges global champion 'Zeus'. Immediately, Ricky and two henchmen attack and rob Charlie, who thereupon returns Max to his aunt; but persuaded by Bailey, Charlie arranges the challenge offered by Max and convinces Debra to allow Max to witness the fight. Ricky bets $100,000 that Atom will not last the first round against Zeus, but loses his bet and is cornered by the fight's bookmakers. In the penultimate round, Atom's vocal controls are damaged, whereupon Charlie guides the robot through his mimetic powers to overwhelm the weakened Zeus; but is unable to win within allotted time. Zeus is declared the winner by number of blows inflicted; but the near-defeat leaves the Zeus team humiliated, and Atom is labelled the "People's Champion".
Health Class (CRR)
In Health class we are learning about all the different components that come together to help our body complete there daily activities. Our body uses nutrients as an energy source,to heal, build and repair tissue to sustain growth, help transport oxygen to the body cells and regulate body functions. There are six types of nutrients carbohydrates,proteins,fats,cholesterol, vitamins and minerals. Carbohydrates are starches and sugars found in foods we consume that the body uses as its main source of energy. Proteins are nutrients the body uses to build and maintain cell and tissues these are found in the amino acid and proteins also help you grown from childhood to adolescent. Fats are naturally stored in your body but the different fast you consume have a different effect. Fats help you stay in shape and are a good energy source. It also protect some organs and bones in the body. The three different components of fats at saturated, unsaturated and trans fat too much can cause cholesterol which is a waxy fat like substance in your blood need to create cell walls, certain hormones and vitamin D. That's when high blood pressure comes into play. Too much fat causes to many of the cholesterol substance to flow in your blood which starts blocking your arteries and makes it difficult for the blood to circulate throughout the body leading to many different diseases and sometimes even death. Vitamins, minerals, and water do not provide energy, but performs a wide variety of body functions. Vitamins are compounds found in food that help regulate many body processes. Minerals are elements found in food that are used by the body. Water is essential for most body functions because all body cells contain water. The function of water is moving food through the digestive system, digesting carbohydrates and protein, and aiding other chemical reactions in the body, transporting nutrients and removing waste, storing and releasing heat, cooling the body through perspiration,cushioning the eyes,brain, and spinal cord and lubricating the joints.

Goals ( P)
I am passionate about being the first in my family to graduate High School and attend college. As I stated in my previous blog I want to make it somewhere big in life and become so successful to the point where everyone knows my name where every I go. If that doesn't work out then I just want a successful career in which I make a lot of money. Some people believe money is th root to all evil but I strongly disagree. I believe money is the key to happiness honestly. Like my idol " Rihanna" said " Money make the world go round.... still got my money ". I don't believe money can buy love but money sure can buy happiness. For instance money doesn't betray you , break your heart, bring drama, non of that money just keeps you happy and gets you what ever you want. I just want to be successful independent. Its going to be an accomplishment to know that every dime I spent is mine.

Abortion ( FC )
The thought of abortion always brings some many controversial arguments Some people are against it and others are for it. The pro-life as the supporters are called always have the same basic excuse " Oh what if it were you that were being killed", " the baby did not choose to be there" , " the baby is innocent" " the baby is innocent" the baby does not deserve this" or the most common one is " you shouldn't be having sex in the first place. My question to them is " Are you going to help the mother take care of the suppose baby ? " , " Are you willing and capable of helping the mothers with there responsibilities?" , " are you going to be able to erase all the flash back and painful memories the sight of the baby brings"?. I feel that people are always so quick to judge others they are always talking about the innocent baby but, do they ever stop to think about the person the baby is inside of , the person who feel every motion and sensation the baby sends, the one who has to provide and nurture the fetus. NO ! its always about the baby like get it together. If the mother knows that they are not capable of taking care of the baby or going to be able to be the best mother they could possible be then they have the right to terminate it. Why bring something into the world that you know is going to go through hell that right there is the actual terminate If I personally find out that I'm pregnant today regardless of what my parents think I would keep it if I knew was financially stable but if not I have no problem with an abortion. The safest way from this situation in my perspective is to just not have sex or have protected sex. But, just because you use a condom doesn't mean you wont get pregnant. Even thought abortion is against my religion and many other religions I still support it. Because in this world you have to be realistic and understanding I am not bias and I believe a women should do whatever she think is best for her regardless of what your family,friends,or spouse have to say. You are the one with the baby inside of you not them.

WHITE LINES by Tracy Brown ( SSR)
Before
telling you what I learned from this amazing novel. I would like to give a
brief little summary about what the book is about and express things that
grabbed my attention and made me more interested in the novel. Jada left home
at the age of sixteen, running from her own demons and the horrors of physical
abuse inflicted by her mother's boyfriend, whom she was raped by.
She partied hard, and life seemed good when
she was with Born, the neighborhood kingpin whose name was synonymous with
money, power, and respect. But all his love couldn't save her from a crack
addiction. Jada goes from crack addict and prostitute to survivor and back
again before she finds the strength to live for her and come out on top. And
her stormy romance with one of the fiercest hustlers on the streets makes it
hard for her to stay away from the demon that's been calling her name (cocaine).
He hates the drug but, he sells it because he's in it for the money. She told
him everything about herself and he trusted her enough to allow her to deal
with the drugs and help him back it to sell it. She was able to control herself
for a good period of time until she meets Sunny. Bones trusted partner in crime
girlfriend. Enough about the booklets get to what I learned about it because
the way this book is set up I can’t stop talking about it when I start. This
book had me very interested because it sounded like a story that was ripped
right out of someone who experienced it life.
I adore stories that are
realistic not only because it’s an urban fiction book and its main focus is not
only about sex it gives very inspirational and lifelong messages that can help
you in any situation. For example at first I was upset at Jada for being a crack
head again after meeting born because I felt that there was no reason for her
to because now she is living the good life. But, then I realized that all the
money in the world could not replace the love of family that she never had. All
she had was her little sister but, her little sister was sent away from her so
she was stuck with her disgrace of a women called a mother and her alcoholic
boyfriend. The thoughts of those things kept flashing back in her head and even
Born the love of her life wasn't able to fill in that gap.
