Corrections

My biggest challenge with my corrections is actually doing them because I have been procrastinating too much as of late.

Important source

My most important source was my super-intendant. I interviewed him during break and he has known me since kindergarten so him and I have great relationship. He was important because he was one of the people in charge of producing this project. He's the man in charge of it all and he was full of information.

Thesis Statement

Although some believe athletics are the main focus of the renovation plans/project the actual main focus of the renovation plans/project is academics.

Reseach Paper

As I sit here typing my research paper I realize my life can be summed up with lyrics from different songs. I have no problem with that I just feel my life should have more parts that no song could express. For those parts I should have my own song and one day I will write that song for all to hear.

I think my research paper is going good so far. I’m finding great sources about my research questions. The only thing that’s going wrong is that I’m looking for one type of violence which is drug related violence. But the Internet keeps giving me results on all types of violence.

[davidb121]

If you have not your one type of violence yet look them all up and pick the one with the most information or the one you find most interesting.

I researched one of the two important people I needed to talk to today and I checked the time halfway through the interview to notice that we had been talking foe 30 minutes and I had no idea that much time had flown by it only seemed like 5-10 minutes.

Memory songs

The songs that remind me of my hometown are "Thunderstruck" and "Boys of Fall". These songs bring back memories of my hometown because they mean a lot me and my past. "Thunderstuck" is my high school football teams entrance song before home games. Any time I here this song I just stop, listen, and think of those Friday night games under the lights and how nothing could be better or more intense. On the other hand "Boys of Fall" also brings back memories of not only football but my high school all together. During the fall football season the schools would play this song over the speakers to signify their support for the football team. Every now and then I'll just sit and listen to both these songs and think of how amazing it was.

This is a picture of my high school's football helmet. This means the world to me because i gave my heart and soul to this program and i will never forget my brothers who fought on the field with me to the very end. One of my friends, Charlie Harris, has played football with me since day one. We were together from the start and as we were going to lose our last football game I took a knee beside him and said "It's been 8 long years and this is not how things were supposed to end. We were supposed to win the state championship." All he had the power to do was give me a hug. Football was my entire life since 5th grade. Whenever I hear the song "Thunderstruck" by ACDC I find myself reminiscing about the good times. All the hot summer days we spent running on the track, all the days we spent in the weight room, and finally all the Friday nights we spent winning because that's what we did we won. Our football team was a vision of our community. We gave our town new belief that our team could do anything they believed in us and we believed that we could do anything and I will never forgot the last time I strapped up my helmet, put on my shoulder pads, tied up my cleat, and the last time I held my jersey. I am proud to say I loved football and i have never felt do lost when my senior season was finished. I remember crying because I realized I would never play football at my high school ever again. I felt like I lost the most important thing in my life and when I gave my coach my jersey could not get myself to let go. He looked at me and said "You're a hell of a football player and this season will always be my greatest." Knowing that he cared for me as his son and that my senior football season would go down as the best season in Napoleon High School history helps me get over the devastating loss. Tradition never graduates but it also never leaves those who have.

Research Proposal

During my junior year of high school our administrator came into one of my classes and told us he want us to help design a new school. Our senior year he came to our class using designs of a new school and explained how the new school was going to be laid out. At the end of our senior year they began the renovation of our school and will continue to renovate for a couple years. The school system also plans to add the 7th and 8th grade onto the high school. Napoleon Area Schools also plans to build a new school to house the rest of the elementary across the road in a field. I have not ever asked myself why they are doing all these new things for our schools but that exactly what i want to figure out. My research question is How will the newly renovated school and brand new elementary help our school system? How would it help Academically? Athletically? Socially? Or even transitioning from schools?

Napoleon, Ohio is a small town where most of our commodities are off one road. Our town has one major company which is Campbell's. This company supplies a lot for our town is one of the main  sources of income for it. Our town loves it's football. Our town became very close as a community and made our school a lot closer. During my senior year the quote "We Believe!" became very popular. We went undefeated and won two games in overtime. During these two games some fans left because we were thought to lose both games.Thus the quote "We Believe" was born. I also live in Ridgeville, Ohio and that is a five road village with a yellow light on the main road. The town has a gas station, a bar, a bank, and a post office. I consider both of my homes to be one town and the towns are only ten minutes apart. We have the Maumee river and that's the main body of water that goes through my town. Altogether my hometown has made me the person I am and i don't regret any bit of it.
