Some major accomplishments of my project is finding out where we are going to mow, plow, and lay down salt. Since we found out about this I have been relieved because we have been looking for places we can mow to earn money for a fundraiser. When we get our money from our fundraiser we will soon spend it into designing our jumpsuit for firefighters and if we have left over money we will donate it to our local firefighting community. The way I feel about my project is because everything is falling into action with us starting to work on mowing and plowing and getting flyers finished.

My December goals will be getting the flyers finished and getting salt laid out on other peoples drive ways. After we get that done we will get everything we come to a stop till Spring when we start to mow.

One holiday that is my favorite is Christmas.  I think Christmas is a wonderful holiday because it gives family that can’t see each other a whole awful lot to see each other for a family eating or opening presents. A few facts about Christmas I found interesting is that the word Noel entered the English language in the late 1300’s and originated from the Latin word “natalis” which stands for “Day of Birth”. Another fact is that the letter X in Xmas is a Greek abbreviation for Christ and I got this information here.

Another holiday that is my favorite is Thanksgiving because it’s a time to give thanks to people you love and care for along with meeting up with people you don’t see often to have one big dinner or lunch. A few facts about Thanksgiving is that Thanksgiving was held in Fall 1621 with 50 Pilgrims and 90 Wampanoag Native Americans and it lasted for three days. Also Thanksgiving didn’t become a holiday until 200 years ago. I got this information from here. 

Lastly my favorite holiday is Veterans Day because we all get to thanks and praise our soldiers who are fighting for our freedom, safety, and our lives. Veterans day was established on Nov. 11,1919 to celebrate the end of World War 1 and became a national holiday at the beginning of 1938. Another fact Is that in 1958 President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially changed the name from Armistice Day to Veterans day. I got this information here

For my 20% project, my group has decided to make a heat resistant jumpsuit for firefighters. Our idea on how to get money is to mow people’s lawns and plow their driveways this winter.

The way I feel about our project is kinda nervous and exited because I’ve always wanted to help out local firefighters because they risk their lives to save ours and our family’s. Another feeling I have is frustrated because we have so many things and we have so many deadlines and not enough time to get everything done.

Some of my major deadlines for November are getting driveways and yards mowed to gain some money for our project. We also need to get a hold of the people we are asking for the materials from.

Schooling has changed over the years from being racially divided to men and women being separated. Over those years schooling things was tough because men didn’t want women to learn and teacher whipped students with wooden paddles to show discipline to learn more click here.

Nowadays schooling is a lot less harsh now kids are disciplined by being sent to the principals, being expelled, suspended, and just clipping down or getting yelled at. Also we are not all separated racily or men and women being separated. Everyone is getting a good education and our grades have been significantly improved from just going up to six or less click here to see more.

My passion is watching dirt track racing. My two favorite tracks are Eldora Speedway, and Florence Speedway. I normally go to tracks with my dad and we camp out in an enclosed trailer on race days/nights.The reason I love Eldora is because its world famous and a lot of big famous racers go to race. I love Florence speedway because its small and your allowed to go up the second fence line to watch the race and because you get caked with mud.I love watching this because the thrill of who is gonna win or lose.The last time I went to a race was at Eldora speedway and I thought  Darrel Lanigan was gonna win but it turns out Jonathan Davenport won  I was wrong and surprised.

Another reason I love watching this is because I get to spend time with my dad. My dad works at a fire house 24 hours a day. But every once and a while my dad will take off work and I will leave my moms to go racing. We will stay in our camper which is a enclosed trailer and We’ll watch the races. My dad when he was younger used to work on the Rice Brothers pit crew. He grew up with them and then decided to help him out on his pit crew. Since my dad  did that he now knows a lot about about late model racing. I plan to be a driver in the future so I can get a piece of the action in person.
