This is a project about famous people with disabilities. We were talking about the differences between hidden and visible disabilities. Jordan is doing a poster about a hidden disability and I did a visible one. I think that hidden disabilities can be harder for people because there are many people that believe that those disabilities are just made up. Meanwhile, it's harder to argue that visible disabilities aren't real.
For Techlab the past couple of weeks we have been working on a tinker game that we can show to the class I did a tinker class about gravity, so I decided to make our platform with jumping physicists I think I did really good on it I even made the boss fight able to make the physics goal weird I have published it to Tinker so I can have other people who play the game and make remakes Here is the link to my game in case you would like to try it https://www.tynker.com/ide/v3?type=diy&p=65b3f842006e2879811f11f4
My violin Playing is Going really well lately and I have been able to learn a lot more songs. Sadly, my teacher is retiring this year, so I won't have a teacher, and that is making me wonder if I should get new teacher or try a new instrument or go back to an old instrument. All that I know is I have really enjoyed trying the violin if I do choose to continue I will know I will continue to only get better
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD, makes it so I have a tough time focusing, and I am constantly active even if I am tired. This makes doing certain things a lot harder and other things easier. Things that are easier for me are things I enjoy doing, like video games, because I can hyper-focus on those things. Things that are harder are things I do not want to do like, like math, and my Brain just chooses to tune all of that out. I take meds that help me focus, but the problem is the current ones we take are the best ones, but they make me feel really sick when I take them. My doctor is getting us new pills so we can try them. Some strategies we use are 20-10. You work for 20 minutes, then take a ten-minute break. It's also helpful to get all the hard subjects done first while my brain is fresh.
For Techlab this year, the first main project that we have to work on is setting a smart goal. The goal I set is to eat healthier with more vegetables and fruits, more foods with vitamins, and two bottles of water a day. I have set this time the smart goal to and is on February 15th at exactly 1:20 pm for when it ends.
- need more water
- need more fruits and veggies- need more vitamins and minerals
We went to Mexico for the first week in January. In total, it was 10 hours of travel time just to get there. It would have been a lot longer if we had chosen to drive! We spent five hours on the plane and 5 hours driving. When we did get to Mexico, it was nighttime because of the two-hour difference. When we made it to our resort, our dad got us an upgrade to the family side. The family side gave us access to an entirely other pool and to reserve restaurants whenever we wanted. It was a lot of fun and there was a lot of cool stuff that they had including a game room. It was right next to the beach, and they had free paddle boards, pools with swim-up bars, and free room service. We only left the resort once to go to a farmers market and I bought a ring. We ended up having a lot of fun!
