Goal for the new year

My intention for the new year is to be a more independent individual. One way to describe this would  that I want to be able to do more for myself at home or at school. For example I know how to cook a handfull of things but in the new year I will try to learn how to make even more meals or desserts. An example of this at school would be to complete more work while asking less questions. Also while im on the soccer field I want my coach to suggest less things on the way i play so this would prove that I can do it on my own and I'm being independent.

Females under paid in the soccer community

Alex Morgan is the highest paid female soccer player in the world and makes about $450,000 salary while for men the highest paid players would be Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo who both make an over $77,000,000 salary. This is going on in the modern day of professional soccer that affects all female  in the professional soccer community. This is happening in the soccer/futbol community from different soccer leagues which both men and woman are in it is also in the international soccer soccer leagues.

Something that makes people mad is that in Abby Wambach's career she has scored more international goals than much higher paid male soccer players such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Neymar da Silvia Santos junior. This is happening because the world still has inequality between females and males. This is an issue because in the modern soccer association players at the same skill level get payed less because of their gender.

There are currently petitions that can be found online to vote that female players at the same skill level as male players should earn the same amount of money. Some reason this might not be able to happen though is that the club he/she plays for might not be able to afford to give their players that high of a salary but majority of the time this is not the issue.

For women the average salary in pro soccer is about $37,800 while the average salary for men is $100,000. This is a major issue because a female soccer player might not be able to make a living for them and their family also a car and a house while male players will make money for these normal life essentials easily. Something that Carli Lloyd said about this was "in this day and age we're pushing for equality. It's about equal rights and equal pay and that is what we are pushing for." She said this to prove that they are trying to do something about this and it is not right.

Best gift I've received

The best gift I ever received was a ps4. It was from my parents. The background story of this gift is that I had been begging my parents for one through the year because a-lot of my friends had them. So my parents told me I would not get one during the whole year. Soon enough it was Christmas and when I opened a couple of my first presents/gifts and they were games for the PS4, this made me so confused because at the time I only had a ps2. My parents looked worried and told me to open the big presents first and next thing I knew a couple presents later I saw a PS4 and I freaked out and was so happy. So this is how I got and what my favorite gift ever is.

Origami yoda

I have recently read a book titled origami yoda by Tom Angleberger who's age is currently a mystery. This book is about a boy in middle school more spcefickly the 6th grade, and made a finger puppet that looks like yoda and gives out advice in a yoda impression for example in the text it says "Can i ask yoda a question" said Carlos "Sure" said dwight the owner of yoda. "Ok, yoda i have to buy cheetos for a picnic tonight with my family but i spent all your money on candy what should i do to get money" "work for it you must" said dwight in his yoda impression." So all through the book a kid named Kellen tries to find out if origami yoda is real and if so can it help him get the girl he wants. so that is what The strange Case of Origami yoda is about.

Hms and the mud run.

Recently the HMS principal Mrs.Boutet went on a mud run at Lake County Fairgrounds to support a disease called MS. The run was 3.1 miles long or 5 kilometers across the mud filled track. The people there had to be older than 12 to participate and people would go to help set up the track, dj the music ,volunteer and others would just do the race.

Mrs.Boutet said her experience was  "Fun and heartwarming!" The charity was for MS (Multiple Sclerosis) which is a disease that can affect your vision and make you weak although it is rare it still affects over 150,000 people across the us, there is no know cure for this but treatment does help and that's why the race happens to raise awareness. Many people racing were there because someone they love has MS and they want to raise awareness badly for them.

People who are racing and had MS wore a special bandana and  there are also people there that have the disease so bad that they cant race because it affects them to much, but none the less they are still there to support the racers that  they are there with. The date she went was September 10, 2016
