Math

Today I won the math bee in school 1 place I was so happy

The Robot

     If i was in the military and i had to make an robot protocol I would probely make a robot of a cockroach.  I would make a cockroach because it would be small like a ant.  I would make it small because if its small we can go send the robot to spy on the enemy with its camera.  I would make it very fast too because if the enemy finds it it can just run away.  So they won't catch it.

    I would want to present the cockroach to them and I would say is I built this cockroach.  I built it so we can spy on the enemy.  We would spy on the enemy to see there plans to attack.  I would also use it to find hurt soldiers in battle.  I would tell them  that it can go 50 mph.

Travis decided to kill the dog himself  because it was his dog and he wanted to do the responsible thing and take care of the dog to the very end.  When Travis decided to kill Old Yeller it showed that he was becoming more mature and by killing the dog he understood that alot of the time when you'r older you have to do things that are not always easy to do.  The hardest decision I have had to make is if I want to go to my dads on the weekend I enjoy spending time with him but, I like being home with my mom and stepdad I don't think I would do anything diffrent.  I think a person need to prove they are adult's by listening to their parents and doing chores and earning the trust of their parents.  Travis showed he was an adult by the way he took care of his family and his dog, his mother and father knew that they could trust him to get things done that needed to be done.  The person I know that sometimes acts like an adult is my big brother Adrian sometimes he does act like an adult because he does very good in school and is very responsible with his homework,chores and all the sports he plays it's very hard to do all of this when sometimes you just want to be a kid and play video games and hang out with friends.  I try to treat everone with respect by helping other's and listening to how they feel and having sympathy for their feeling's.  I also try to be a good friend and son and help when help is needed.
