What I learned about bottle rockets is the smaller the bottles, the higher the rocket goes. The rocket has to have water on the bottom for it to fly. What I did for my rocket is I got two 2 liter bottles. I cut part of the bottom off one of the bottles and taped them together. But, you have to make sure it’s not sideways. If the bottles are taped on sideways if won’t fly straight. Then, I cut out four fins and glued them on the bottom of the rocket. With the fins there is a better chance it with fly higher. Next, I cut out five strings for the parachute. We put a parachute on it so that when it comes down the parachute will slow it down for it not to hit the ground hard. For the parachute I got a plastic bag and taped the strings to it…

My choice has got me bruised, fractured and, or almost clean breaks. My choice is bull riding. When I was 10 I started to ride. My first ride I hung on and got 2nd place. I thought it was so fun and easy that I would try it with no gear because I got beginner's luck. So the next rodeo was my keiki rodeo and I thought I could ride it.... 3 seconds went by and I got stepped on my hand and back. I had been checked out by the ambulance and ice packed. I thought just because it happened one time it wouldn't happen again. So I tried riding with only chaps so my legs would get as sore. So my next keiki rodeo I hung on for 6 second, which means I made my time, but just as I heard the buzzer ring with a loud "brapppphhh" I flopped over onto my back…

Because of it visibility which is very good, Orion is a very popular constellation.…

The second experience I choose from my list was joining the Army when I graduated high school. The reason I choose this experience was because after I graduated high school I felt like I still had something that I had to prove to others. Just because my surroundings and environment was different from others doesn’t mean that I was going to succumb to my environment or surroundings. While in the Army I learned discipline, respect and courage. I got to see many places that some people will never get to see. You can’t judge a book by its cover unless you open the book up and read the entire story and then just maybe then you will understand someone’s life story.…

The film "The Rocket" is the biographical story of hockey legend Maurice Richard, that uses sports to highlight historical bigotry. The movie highlights the discrimination that faced French Canadians at the time of Richard's hockey career. This caused Richard to be torn between his desire to play hockey, and the pressure to give voice to an emerging nationalism. The movie depicts the sociological theme of French Canadian discrimination demonstrated by the language barrier, racial harassments, and physical assault between Maurice Richard and English speaking Canadian and American society. Maurice Richard remains a French Canadian icon, who always fought injustice, on the level of hockey, because that was his domain. This related to the French Canadian population, who projected their hopes and dreams onto the "Rocket".…
