Earth in the next 50 years

There is no doubt that technology will be more advanced within the next 50 years. With a demand for clean energy, I think there there will be an advance in Nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is the best bet for clean energy. It is safe, clean, and abundant. There are several power plants in the united states that used nuclear power plants. France uses nuclear energy. There is speculation that it is unsafe because of the 1986 accident in chernobyl ukraine. That was because of a water reactor that wouldn't function properly, which resulted in an overheating. The best bet for clean, safe, and abundant energy is Nuclear energy, and that is the future of the 21st century.

My digital story

Once upon a time, in NYC, there is an average boy. When you see this digital story book, you will see the story of Andrew Shed, how he grew up living in Staten Island, New York. Read about his family, his hobbies, and how he is a cultural part of CSIHSIS, and the global community.




This Video is one of my best works in computer class ever. this tells the story about how I, Andrew Shed, grew up in New York . I hoped you enjoyed this video. This can teach us all to be cultural in New York, and education is very important. For those of you who didn't know me, i hope you got a good idea about who I am, my hobbies, and my role in society.

My "who am I poem"

I am a new yorker on Staten Island
I am a  student in the cultural school
I am the mathematics, the science, and the technology
I am the mac and cheese with the side of chicken fingers
I am a  Thinkpad laptop with the Windows XP Software and 22" Screen
I am the guitar in a room with an untidy bed and unfolded laundry
I am an X Box 360 with the first person shooters and racing games
I am the Slipknot, the Three days grace, the Linkin park, the Lil Wayne, and the other music on the ipod
I am the brother and the son, who annoys and loves
I am a  tennis racket who forehands the tennis ball
I am the nike shoes running down the tennis court
I am the Old navy shirt, with a pair of american eagle jeans
I am the eric cartman, the petter griffin, and the homer simpson entertaining an audiance of millions
I am the war movie, with a sole soldier holding his rifle high
I am an American, with judism and Ukraine backing me up
I am a sidekick 3, powered by t mobile
I am black, blue and red mashed together
I am a poland spring water bottle with lemon flavoring
I am Darth Vader using the force on a Wookiee
I am Marcus Fenix fighting the locust horde
I am a cultural part of society

Importance of learning maps and locations

I took a test last week in Spanish ,on Spanish speaking countries. The goal of the test was to see our knowledge of Spanish speaking countries, their locations, and the capitals. I passed the test, but I wasn't particularly happy with my grade. I only got a 75, but after going over my test, I understood my mistakes. At first, before taking this test, I thought it was a waste of time to know capitals of countries and locations. But I realize now that its important. Knowing locations is just as important as knowing how to read and write. Although It doesn't help me now, I know one day that it most likely will be important. 

This map is of spanish speaking countries and its capitals

Democrats think Illegals deserve healthcare

Republicans critisize Democrats for their new healthcare plan that Obama might soon pass to congress. The healthcare plan, aside from giving the government control over healthcare, might also give illegal immigrants healthcare. twenty two deomocrats from congress wrote to speaker of the white house nancy pelosi to buy into government healthcare. This is absoultuley ridiculous in my opinion. First of all, these illegals shouldnt even be here. What are they doing here? they don't belong here. They are not American Citizens so they do not deserve Unites States healthcare. Democrats claim that illegals deserve government healthcare, stating they will buy it with their own money? But with what money? They came to this country uninvited, they mostliley won't be able to get an education, and they won't contribute to the system. So they do they deserve healtcare? As stated before, they neither came here legally nor have the money to support this. In my honest opinion, this is just a way to support illegal immigration and it like letting them in with a free ride. This is absolutley ridiculous and I really hope this doesn't pass.

Committee to vote on health care bill soon

The senate finance committee continues to discuss President Obama's new healthcare bill and will possibly even start voting next week. The main goal of the healthcare bill is to allow the government more power over healthcare and to dictate the types of coverage that must be in insurance policies. This had outraged many republicans, as they view the goal of the healthcare plan is to get rid of private insurance and put it in the hand of the government for their control. Democrats however, claim that the healthcare plan will nearly lower the rate medicare is currently spent on. Unfortunatley if the bill is passed, we just have to hope for the best and hope this healthcare plan Obama clains will work won't compltley drain our country of money.

Finals Week

Well today is Friday, and i am currently doing my blog. this week was really difficult and Long. the easiest final was my math final, i am good at math so i know i passed that test.

The spanish Final was brutal, so i dont have highhopes for that. Regents week is coming up, so i guess my break is not over yet. all in all, i cant wait for summer to start. 

Freshman Trip to Conneticut

I know this is a little to late, but Am not forgetting that trip to Conneticut. It was really fun, even though most of the kids i was hanging out wit tried to annoy me. It was really hot though, and My hair frizzed up like a porqiepine, but despite that, i wont forget that day. the highlight was when i hiked up and down the mountain. it was really fun, except when i nearly broke my ankle

Final Days of math

As frehsman year is coming to an end, i am looking back at all i learned in math this year. it is my favorite class and i guess i will be bored during the summer when i dont have my favorite teacher mrs. Vendra entertaining us. But Hopefully i will have her again next year. I just got to try not and forget everything during the summer.
