Endings and Beginnings

A beginning and an ending that excited me was the beginning and the ending of a level of my favorite game. The level took place in France during World War 1 when the Germans tried to drape the symbolic city of Verdun in German flags. Its starts in the outskirts of Verdun near Douaumont. The objective is to take the entire area by raising a total of 6 flags on the map without having the enemy team take any of them down. My team rushed in and successfully took the area. We then moved onward to our next objective, fort de Vaux. But this time we were not so lucky, the enemy team barricaded themselves good inside the fort and brutalized our team. And it was not long before our entire team was mowed down and retreating. But shortly after we went at them again. It took awhile, but the team managed to take the fort and ended up with my team victorious. 

Its Complicated

Something that is complicated is the end of the year. The reason I think the end of the year is complicated is because things just get really hectic and busy. For example, finals at the end of the year get really crazy because I have to study and I stress about how I'm gonna do.

Should the military be allowed to draft?/Free Post

Should the U.S. continue the draft? Since the Civil war, the U.S. military has been drafting for additional troops. The draft requires all men within the ages of 18-60 to registered for the draft, and if you are chosen, the military can force you to join the Armed Forces and serve in whatever active conflict the U.S. is in. Throughout the years many people have protested the draft, saying that it is unfair and unconstitutional, and there are others who say that the government has the right to force people to defend their country.

Tribute

Tribute

A tribute I would like to make is to my dad. The reason why I would write a tribute to my dad is because is my dad is always there for me. Since I was little my dad has always been there for me and he is my inspiration. My dad is the one who inspires me and continues to support me. He latched me on to my military obsession and continues to inspire me. Whenever my dad came back from deployment from whatever place, he would always bring me back all this cool stuff. For example, when he came back from Saudi Arabia he gave me the fighter pilot helmet he used in combat, that helmet has been sitting on my shelf everyday since then, and it is still one of my most favorite items I own, all because my dad was kind enough to give it to me.

Three Famous People

If I could spend the afternoon with three people, I would spend with Generals MacArthur, Patton, and Eisenhower. The reason why I would spend the afternoon with these three people is because they are kind of like my heroes. They were high ranking military Generals who faught and served for the U.S. in many wars, mostly known for their service in World War 2.

Favorite Field Trip

My favorite field trip I ever took was when I was in 3rd grade and we took a trip to San Diego harbor to learn about the ocean. So we basically did things that involved the ocean in any way. For example, we learned about the sea life and how the life changes the deeper the water. For example, we got on a boat and threw a big net of the end. When we pulled it back up there was all kinds of fish trapped in the net. We did this in different areas of water, the sea life changed in different depths of water.

Movie Review

One of my favorite movies is Top Gun. This movie is about a school for the top 1% of all fighter pilots in the United States Navy. The main character, Lt. Pete Mitchel or Maverick, has amazing talent in fighter piloting and is very confident. However he is a very large devil may care. He is a little to confident and breaks the rules a lot. Throughout the movie you see how Maverick makes his way through Top Gun and tries to score the highest in his class and become the one of the best fighter pilots in the world.

My Experience with Music 

An experience I have with performing music is my trumpet. I started playing 4 years ago when I was in 5th grade. Of course when I first started I was not very good, but I quickly learned all the notes and how to play. Over the years I practiced and played in concerts and became better and better. I still play trumpet and plan to keep playing throughout high school and maybe even my adult years. 

Special Christmas Gift

       A special gift that I have got in the past is my PS4. The reason why this gift is so special to me is because this is probably my favorite item in my house. I use it almost everyday and play my favorite video games on it. I will never forget when Christmas finally came after asking for a PS4 for almost a year. I looked under my tree and saw a gift about the right size and was thinking "please by a PS4, please be a PS4..." and of course when I opened it I was overjoyed.

My Name

My name is Matthew. The name Matthew comes from the Greek form of the Hebrew name "Mattityahu", meaning "gift of Yahweh".  The name was first given to Matthew(AKA Levi), one of the twelve apostles . He was a tax collector and the author of the New testament and considered a saint. In terms of popularity, the name Matthew is common mostly in Europe and in the United States. For example, Matthew is ranked number 7 for most common names in England and in Ireland. There also many forms the name Matthew takes in different languages. For example, Mateo is Matthew in Spanish.

What I would do if I worked at school

If I had to work at school, I would would be a social studies teacher. The reason why I would become a social studies teacher is because I REALLY like history, (especially American conflicts) it has and is now my strongest subject. Another reason why I would teach history is because I think it is really important to learn about history. The reason I think this is because history is what makes up the modern world, everything that happens today is because of something that happened through history. 

Gratitude List

Im sitting on my couch playing video games, but as the game takes forever to load, but as I'm sitting there bored, I think about what I have to be grateful for.

1. Family, for they are always there, ready to help me with anything.

2. Friends, for they are the ones I spend time and have fun with.

3. My house, there I can feel comfortable, and be myself.

4. The United States, for it gives us an amazing thing called liberty.

5. Our Armed Forces, for they are the ones who protect and preserve our freedom.

6. Aviation, for it inspires me to become a pilot one day.

7. Video games, because if I ever have nothing to do, it will always keep me busy.

8. My health, without it I would not be able to do a lot of things.

9. Baseball, when I play it, I can express my talent.

10. My education, for it will allow me to become someone one day.

Comfort Food

A comfort food I have is Mac and cheese. There are lots of other foods I enjoy, but this one tops all of them by a lot. Ever since I was little I have always enjoyed mac and cheese (this was one of the first foods I started to enjoy). Whenever I eat it, I can't get over that gooey and cheese sensation. There have been times where I have been in a bad mood, but after eating the mac and cheese, I felt fine.

Childhood Favorite

A childhood favorite that I have is lego sets. Before video games and other hobbies I have today, legos were my life. Everyday I would play with them for hours and hours on end. It all started when I was 4 years old, I had just gotten into Star Wars, so my first lego set was an Star Wars lego set. After that I just kept getting more and more sets of legos, and after more practice building them, I would build bigger and bigger sets. I still have lots of lego sets, one lego set I built when I was 8 years old is still sitting on my shelve.

In 10 years...

In 10 years I see myself walking straight out of Navy basic training. I want to be in the military because my family has had a long history in the military, my family has fought for the U.S. since the Revolution. I also have always had an interest in our countries Armed Forces and the privileges it can give to you. For example, you get to do a lot of things you would not normally be able to do (fly fighter jets, travel to exotic places, etc.) Another reason i want to be in the military is so I can become a pilot. I feel like joining the military will not only give me the chance to be a pilot, but to serve my country as well. 

                  This quote said by Five-Star General Douglas MacArthur means is that you can't tell someone to do something that is completely unreasonable and out of their power. The reason I chose this quote is because I REALLY don't like it (I am sure no one else likes this either) when people tell me to do things that are completely out of my reach.
