I believe that love is powerful. I believe that if you love someone you should be honest with that person and be completely dedicated to them. I believe that love is painful even when you split up with each other your heart drops and you lose your breath. And don’t know what to do. I believe that saying I love you is hard to do. I believe that you should have a commitment before you tell them you trust them. And all that stuff. I believe that love is a one time thing meaning that you will only have a certain feeling for one person.
I believe that love is very confusing like a summer’s rain. What I mean by that is in the summer it’s suppose to be hot not cold and rainy. I believe that love should be for ever and always. I believe that love is crazy the way it works. But in some ways it’s a good thing because you can learn new things from that. I believe that when you tell the one you were with that you will be alright. Deep down inside your lying too you’re self. And at that moment you don’t want to tell them the truth I know I felt that before.
I believe that heart ache is difficult to deal with. When I have that feeling I don’t know what to do. I think the only I can do is sit in a dark room and cry like theirs no tomorrow. I just want to be away from everyone go too a secret spot and hope and pray that my heart ache will go away and that my days will get better.

I Believe in Music
I believe that music can really effect your life it just depends on what music you listen to like me. I listen to nickel back, my chemical romance, three doors down, flyleaf simple plan, paramore, pink and other music. Because of this music I do great in school I have great friends. But I believe that If your depressed this music will not make you happy it will keep you depressed. But I listen to this music so I don’t blame any one. In a twisted way it kind of helps. But when I want to be in a dancy mood I listen to one republic,cute is what we aim for ,Sara baralies,boys like girls,avril lavine,creed,and other music. I believe that if you listen to sad music you will be sad. If you listen to all music you will be random like me. If you listen to happy music you will always be happy I believe music has helped me in so many ways. It just depends on what music you listen to.
When I first moved to Orem I was sad bratty mean. I started to listen to music and knew every time I had music I was ok to do any thing my mom wanted me to do. I believe that if there was no music no one would do any thing life would just be boring.

My Religion I believe in myself what I was raised to believe.
I Believe in ...
One of the things I believe in is school. The reason I choose school is because you need school in life. In life you need to have a good education to get a good job. School also teaches you a lot of things that are really useful in life. If you drop out of school you will regret that you drop out later in life.
Another thing that I believe in is work. The reasons I choose this one is because you need to work in life. Work is also good for helping you out in life by getting you food a house and a bunch of other stuff. Work also keeps you out of trouble. If you don’t have a job then most likely you will not succeed in life some people might but more that half that do not have a job will not make it.
I believe in money. I believe in money is because you need money for every thing. If you don’t have money then you will not have a house or food. If you don’t have money then you wont be able to pay rent. This is where a job will come in handy so you can get money.
I believe in happiness. If you don’t have happiness in your life then you will not have a good life. Happiness is the key to life I think but some people may not think so they think that money is the key to life but if you are not happy then how are you supposed to have money. Happiness is also the key to have a good day I have learned that if you are mad or sad the day will not be as good. If you are happy then the day will be good.

I Believe
I believe music is powerful especially the lyrics if you listen to the artist you can tell what’s going through the writers head at the time and how they are feeling. For example, Eminem he uses his real experiences to get the attention of the younger listeners and it helps most of them with their problems.
Music is Emotional because if you listen to Amanda Perez’s song “Why,” she talks about how her life was okay then it was turned around by love and how she just wants it all to end and how the guy she’s with is always locked up and how he’s a player. A song that has helped me the last couple of days is a song by Amanda Perez called “Why” she talks about how she has kids and her boyfriend is always locked up and how she just keeps giving him more chances to change and she knows that he’s sleeping around and isn’t staying faithful. That what’s been going on in my life my boyfriend is the same as any other guy and I feel that any girl who feels this way should listen to her cause it has helped me so much.
Music is Inspiring because the writer tells them that if they just hold on even if it might be hard that everything will work out and it will be okay you just have to be patient and never give up.
Music is calming because if you are mad or something all you have to do is listen to something that talks about how you feel and then you know that you’re not the only one that’s going through it and you’re never alone. For example, one song that is powerful to me is Eminem’s “Stan” and how he is like obsessed with him and he doesn’t listen to his wife and over reacts then before he kills himself and his girlfriend he realizes that he has no reason to but its to late.
I think that if everyone would just listen to the lyrics to a song you can feel what’s going on in the song. One more song that has helped me is “can’t be saved” because josh says, “One day I’ll wake up and realize it’s just a big lie and that I’ll get over it by myself with out you and your lies.”
I believe that if you let music be apart of your life then you will be able to get out the way you are feeling and never have to hold it and feel like you are alone.

Family
Family been together no matter what good or bad stand next to each other love them respect them be happy we go thru suffering hard times but we stand up and keep our head up real hi we all go thru a change.
Peace we kick back at the house and invite friends have the family around just chill fill were in the freedom of this life even though were really not there’s a lots of reasons I say this but when your around your family I tell you what enjoy them because you never know what could happen from you going out with your friends the worst thing can happen from you just going to the store just kick back with family n help them change kick it with them be free love them and when u make a mistake man up to it don’t run away from it make your self responsible for it.

Everything is Art
I believe that every thing is art just like Jackson Pollock said that art is the life of the color and the way you feel. When I think about how I feel, when I feel good my art becomes better. Also there a lot of things that can be said about just feeling you have. There’s not one person that can’t do art because anything is art we just don’t know. Along as you feel feelings of your own then you are the art that you’re feeling. It’s believable only if you believe the best of it. Also the way art has help me is not bad but really good on the in side because it lets me show the inside of me in a different that hard to show. All my life it has made a better way of the colors I look at. The way of art is like the way we live and the way we live is the ways were going to die.
Religion is an Excuse
I believe that religion is a scandal. It’s something that people have come up with to justify their actions. God? Really? Some big guy in the sky said “I want this” and so it was done? As if. We all live the same life. We all know that just because we say
“I want this to happen” doesn’t mean it shall be. I mean really, in the first chapter of the Bible, it says, “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” It’s not probable. And what kind of idiot believes that stuff? Ha.
As I first said, people use religion as a way to justify their action. From the ancient Mayan nations to modern day life, people have been killing in “the name of God”. What is this? As long as you throw god into the mix and the majority believes in your god then it’s ok? I believe that people also use religion as a way to excuse their prejudices. God made the white man to be superior, god made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. This religion is the true religion, that religion is the true religion. You know what people? If it’s all true and there’s “real evidence” then why doesn’t everybody believe it?
You know what, I don’t even care. The only thing that bothers me is when people look down on others for their beliefs. And if it weren’t for religion, they wouldn’t do it. Now, am I looking down on people for believing in something I think is false? Nope. Just voicing my opinion.

Motherhood
I believe in motherhood because I’m going to be a mother soon. I cannot believe some girls want abortion cause they have sex, for some reason you are to stupid not use a condom. I know that I cannot say anything but my baby is still living what about yours, I don’t think so. But think about it, there is a lot of youth teens out there that are pregnant or they want to get pregnant cause they love this guy, and they think he’s going to be in your life for along time but honey, when you tell the boy that you are pregnant the first thing they are going to say is you slept around or its not mine. So you get mad and you go to the doctor to get an abortion or if you say that you want to keep it. He will say if you love me you will get an abortion so you do it just for him. But you know what, I am happy that I still have my baby boy I know that I’m still a little girl but it was my responsibility for my actions. I can have someone to love and he’s going to love me back. You don’t need this stupid boy who just wants sex from you. I’m going to be a good mother and no one is going to tell me different. But sometimes I feel that someone is going to take him away form me, but it’s not going to happen I will fight hard to keep him.
You Need Love and Honesty in Your Life
I believe that there is honesty, forgiveness, love, and happiness in every person, so I will start with honesty if there was no honesty in the world the world would be hell. Anyways in your life you are supposed to be honest because that is the right thing to do.
Forgiveness is another thing I believe in is because if you never forgave anyone in your life it will bother you for your whole entire life. Happiness is a feeling that you have in yourself that always comes out whenever you want it to. I think there is forgiveness in every body even if it is a little and just think you maybe could have done something that you lost a lot of trust, but most of the time it is forgiving.
Another thing I believe in is love because love is a feeling you have for someone like your family like a girl or maybe even a friend, but most of the time it’ just for family. It can also be a powerful feeling and without it you would probably be miserable, like when you love someone like a girlfriend it really means something to her, but also without love in the world would be a very bad place.
Now the last thing I believe in is happiness because it is one of those feelings that you have and you like it a lot so without any happiness in the world, it would not be a happy place. So while you are happy you like to do happy things or think happy thoughts, so everyone needs to be happy in there life, because if they don’t there life is going to be a horrible life.

I Believe in This
Self determination plays a big role in my life I’ve had to work hard the last couple years. And I really had to push myself to do it no one else can take credit for what I’ve done. I don’t want to sound selfish but I did it myself. I’ve been in the system locked up for two years I had to do what I could to get out. I have had great grades and worked my but off and it all paid off ill be graduating this year I would have never done it if I didn’t get in trouble.
Respect is another big part of my life I never used to respect anybody not even myself I resorted to drugs because I felt that’s all I needed. Respect has to be earned before you get it that’s what a lot of people need to figure out. I don’t respect people unless they show it too. Now I respect a lot of people I have met a lot of new people that have helped me down my path of success. Teachers, principal Doug, my friends in and out of summit, my parents, proctor parents. I have a lot of respect for these people. Without their help who knows where I would be probably locked up.
Responsibility I’ve had more responsibility these last couple years than most teenage kids do. I’ve had to get good grades, work at a job, therapy, homework, program packets, And more than that it’s crazy. But it helped me grow into a nice young man I admit im not perfect and im going to screw up wether it’s serious or not. Everyone screws up now and then.
Love I used to not believe in this but now I know its real. my girl shayli has always been there she stayed with me when I was locked up and in a proctor home. I broke up with her after a little while of being in the proctor home. I didn’t feel it was fair to her she never got to see me she told me she loved me and she didn’t want anyone else and wouldn’t date anyone else, I didn’t believe her I told her you will find someone else. Well I dated other people but I always ran back to shayli. And im out of the program now and she still hasn’t dated anyone else. We are just getting back together. And we are both graduating this year and hopefully gonna move on through life together. She is amazing and means the world to me. I don’t understand why she does this for me being alone without me just to wait so that’s how I know this is love.

Keys to My Life
I believe in freedom. I believe in pride. I believe in forgiveness. I believe in change. Most importantly I believe in being a better person. I believe in these things because these are some of the most important and close things to my heart. These things help me to reach the highest that I possibly can in life.
Freedom is what America is built upon. It has been earned and paid for by my forefather’s sweat blood and tears. The price alone makes it valuable to me. I value the ability to choose my own destiny through my actions and choices. I am my own person. I am opinionated and state my thoughts and beliefs. Freedom allows me to do these things while being who I am. America is beautiful.
I believe in pride. I am a prideful person; both in good ways and bad. My pride is what gets me up in the morning to fight another day. Without it I wouldn’t be strong enough to stand up to make the right choices.
I believe in forgiveness. I am far from perfect and will make mistakes throughout my life. With this in mind, through making things right and asking forgiveness from those I have wronged and my Heavenly Father, I know I can move on. Forgiveness also helps me to work on my own shortcomings like the bad side of my pride. Through forgiveness I can put myself in the situation to help others. I forgive others because no one is unworthy.
I believe in change. I realize there are many things I need to work on. I want to meet and marry an amazing girl. I know I need to offer the same thing to be deserving of that. I need to change to be that person. I also need to change to overcome the challenges I have created for myself.
I believe in being a better person. If I do the things and further the things I have said above I will be a better person. I will be able to stand in the face of those who judge me and know that I am right. I will be deserving of forgiveness. I will be a stronger tool in the hands of my Lord. As one of my favorite songs say “How can I keep this gift to myself when I can lift somebody else?” I will keep this in mind and strive to be in a position to lift someone else.

Mind Over Matter
I believe in mind over matter. This I believe in because if you put your mind to it, you can do anything you want… as long as it is legal of course. Most people think that things that they want to do are hard. I think that as long as you have a good mentality about your goals, you can accomplish them.
I know of some people who think that they can’t do anything. Many people just don’t have their minds set to what they want to accomplish in life. To believe in mind over matter is to have control over yourself… well to me that’s what it is. I think if you don’t have control in yourself you can’t really believe in mind over matter because you don’t have control over your mind.
There are a couple examples in my life that I can tell you about that have to do with mind over matter. One experience that I have had was with my problem with going to school. Going to school was always a problem for me because of how boring it is sometimes. I didn’t care about school much until I saw that if I didn’t go to school and graduate I would be working really hard all day everyday. But now that I accepted that going to school actually gets you somewhere in life, I come to school everyday and get my work done so that I can have a good job and live a good life in the future.
In this I believe because if you really want something, and you put your mind to it, you can do anything you want. Take my experience as an example. Set a goal for yourself and put your mind to it and I know that you will do it, no matter what it is you can do it!

My Life
I believe in happiness because happiness is a good feeling and when you’re down you can think of something happy like something funny that cheers you up or do something that can cheer you up. When I’m down or feeling sad I listen to music because it makes me happy and it gets the sad feelings out.
Another thing that you can do is play with your dog or your cat and have them do tricks or teach them new things and that could make you happy.
One thing that makes me happy is building with wood or Lego’s and I build something big and it gets my mind off of that sad feeling.
Another experience that makes me happy is when I play the guitar. When I play the guitar it helps me think about what I’m trying to play. Like last weekend I was feeling down because I didn’t get to participate in the super Saturday activity so I played the guitar and I didn’t think about the activity at all because my mind was on the one thing that I was doing.
Without happiness in the world everyone would be down and depressed and wouldn’t want to do anything and everyone would be sitting around not dong anything and would be boring there whole life.
When you’re happy you get excited and want to just run around and be cheerful. When I’m happy and I’m with my cousin I get excited and I want to run and play around. I get cheerful so easily. When I went to Disneyland and to California I was so excited and my grandma told me to be a good role model and I wasn’t. I was to excited for being in Disneyland.
One thing that really makes me happy is listening to good music and it helps me because when I’m down or unhappy I just listen to music and it cheers me up.

Change
This I Believe
We have all made mistakes, but have you ever made a mistake that will always be on your mind? I have and I want to write to say mistakes are opportunies to see our past and change our future. I have made so many mistakes and have been judged for what I did, I’ll tell you that’s what hurts the most. I always keep in mind that my mistakes or others do not equal who we are, it equals a chance to change and not do it again.
When I was seventeen, just a few days after Thanksgiving Day, I ended up in an argument with my mom about were I was going to move my room to either stay down stairs or move into a smaller room upstairs.
My mom’s boyfriend ended up over hearing the conversation, and jumped into the middle of it. I ended up getting over heated and angry. The conversation started getting really heavy and worse. So I left the house. I jumped into my truck and sped out of the drive way. I ended up getting emotional because I felt my mom was choosing her boyfriend over me. I stopped a few blocks away from the house and ended up turning around. I pulled into the drive a few inches from hitting my mom’s car.
I walked into the house and started yelling at him. Few minutes later he commented back to my mom saying to her “it’s him or me.” I heard those words and completely lost control.
It has been six months now and I have made the worst mistake of my life. I have lost my mom because I got into a fight with her boyfriend over words that meant nothing, because I knew my mom loved me now matter what guy she is with or what words he has said. I should have been the bigger man and just kept driving.
Any mistake you have made-remember the mistake is not who you are. It’s how you fix it and who you will become. So always be the bigger person and think there is always a chance to be different than a family member or a close friend. Take the opportunity and take that chance to see the past and change your future.
We have all made mistakes, but have you ever made a mistake that will always be on your mind? I have and I want to write to say mistakes are opportunies to see our past and change our future. I have made so many mistakes and have been judged for what I did, I’ll tell you that’s what hurts the most. I always keep in mind that my mistakes or others do not equal who we are, it equals a chance to change and not do it again.
When I was seventeen, just a few days after Thanksgiving Day, I ended up in an argument with my mom about were I was going to move my room to either stay down stairs or move into a smaller room upstairs.
My mom’s boyfriend ended up over hearing the conversation, and jumped into the middle of it. I ended up getting over heated and angry. The conversation started getting really heavy and worse. So I left the house. I jumped into my truck and sped out of the drive way. I ended up getting emotional because I felt my mom was choosing her boyfriend over me. I stopped a few blocks away from the house and ended up turning around. I pulled into the drive a few inches from hitting my mom’s car.
I walked into the house and started yelling at him. Few minutes later he commented back to my mom saying to her “it’s him or me.” I heard those words and completely lost control.
It has been six months now and I have made the worst mistake of my life. I have lost my mom because I got into a fight with her boyfriend over words that meant nothing, because I knew my mom loved me now matter what guy she is with or what words he has said. I should have been the bigger man and just kept driving.
Any mistake you have made-remember the mistake is not who you are. It’s how you fix it and who you will become.

I believe in Change
Have you ever failed at something? Because I have and just because you fail at something does not mean to give up and not to try anymore. Because when you do fail at something it will help you learn WHAT NOT TO DO AND WHAT TO DO. I THINK THAT IN TRYING NEW things you will learn to become more talented at _what you do. That’s why when you fail you can go back and tries to fix WHAT YOU DID. NOW I believe that everybody should get a 2nd chance. So that they can change and I think that if you fail at something that you should go back and really look at what you did to fail and then go back and change it. I will start with something new I think that people when failing at something they should go back and to try to fix it. Something I also think should happen is to make it better and to go farther out of there way to succeed in what they are doing and to become something better then they already wear. I think that in many cases people just give up and do not care any more about what they are doing. in time to try again and to not just give up every thing on something. so this in many cases is what I think about this. so in many times if this is not good I will have to change it so like I said fail try again so this is it.

What role music plays in my life?
For me music is a way to express how I feel. And music also helps me vent my emotions in a way that will keep me out of trouble. Like if I am angry I will listen to rap music that is more explicit. Or when I am in a good mood I will listen to rap music that is funny. Or if I am sad I will listen to slow jams. Those are some of the ways that music plays a role in my life.

Mornings are special and nights are full of surprises and that’s the way life goes on and on morning and night.
After night came another day. And after death another life. Morning seemed mysterious gifts. He inspected the dawn with fascination. -Whirligig page 33

‘‘I was the driver but hadn’t understood the journey.’’ Whirligig page 112
This means to me that if you don’t know were your going then you would know what to do in life. When I think about my journey were would I go if I didn’t know what I wanted. There too much to do and so little time, so do what you do so you can get what you can.

Music
I love a lot of music. I play the violin and the guitar and harmonica. I live my music like a story. Most of the time you will here me singing. I love to write songs they take about to days to write. One of my favorite songs that I have written is why isn’t life a fairy tail. I love to sing play write and listen to music. A lot of people judge me cause they think I show off when I am dancing. They judge me cause of the music I listen to but they don’t realize I listen to a lot of music so they cant really judge me at all. seriously I don’t care what music I listen to as long as its ok to dance too. So ya I love music it has affected my life in so many ways. Some times I wish life was a musical so ya. the only problem I have with singing and dancing is I get stage fright. And all my friends encourage that I sing and a lot of other stuff. There was only one time I got in front of a crowd I was so scared but I was so excited at the same time I was 7 at that time. I started to listen to music and write it at the age 4. I get really bored if I am not listening to music really ask my family. music helps me when im angry sad it depends on my mood really. So there is a lot of ways it has helped me it has helped me get through school and a lot of other ways.
Quote
I responded to the quote on page 40 of Whirligig. "I also believe everything happens for a reason. That the universe required this. For some reason."
I really like this quote. I believe that everything happens for a reason. For example if you do something then you are going to get something back. How would anything happen if nothing happened for a reason. Another reason I like it is because this is how I think for example if something happens then I just think everything happens for a reason. This one time I was out past my curfew going to go get drunk and before I got to my friends house the cops pulled me over and arrested me and I just thought that everything happens for me.

The Quote
THE QUOTE: YOU HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE. -WHIRLIGIG
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE BECAUSE NO ONE MAKES DECISIONS FOR YOU. CHOSE TO DO THEM YOU CAN ALWAYS SAY NO. IT’S LIKE SAYING THAT SOME ONE MADE YOU MAD BUT NO ONE MADE YOU. YOU CHOSE TO GET MAD. I WAS ONCE TOLD THAT. SO I THOUGHT I WOULD PASS THAT. LIKE I SAID NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU DO ANYTHING! YOU CHOSE TO DO IT .

The Soccer Game
The game was good I guess. I saw the lion and there were little kids out on the field kicking the soccer ball in the net and they all win KFC.
When it was half time is was all girl drama that was soooooo funny.

What role does music play in your life?
The role music plays in my life is it’s like my escape from real life. I don’t have to be where ever I am. I have no problems to worry about I can just get lost in the music. Like for example my song that I have been listening to is Angel by Amanda Perez because she is talking about how she lost her love because he chose something over her. I can relate to her in this situation because im in the same boat. I think that when some one writes music they are talking about how they look at life or how they had a situation in life and how they solved it. Music can help you through many problems if you’re mad you can listen to music that is talking bout being mad. When you’re sad listen to sad music. It’s all about how you look at it and how you react to it. So in the end music is a big part of my life and I don’t know what my life would be without it!
Suicide
“You have the absolute power over your own life. You have the power to end your life. Now.” ~Whirligig page 18.
This part of the book and this quote really bothers me. No one has the right to end any life, even their own. God makes the choice when that happens. Suicide is the coward’s way out. It goes along with the saying. “It takes more courage to live for someone than to die for someone.”

I really like this quote because I know it is true and if you don’t use it right then you lose it and, can’t have that choose to do what you want and than life is going to suck and not be what you want it to be.

“You have the absolute power over your own life. You have the power to end your life Now.” Pg. 18
The reason why I like this quote because it says that you have power over you life and you have the power to end it. Like the reason why I like it because it reminds me of when my uncle drinks because I think he want to end his life just like Brent in the book. But as I said it reminds me of my uncle when he drinks. And I don’t want him to do that. When he drinks he acts drunk because that’s all he does.

RSL Sucks Crap
The soccer game… I didn’t go to it because I couldn’t go to it.
I was stuck at therapy and then at practice for my sisters 15.
But from what I hear it wasn’t very fun…
Well I really couldn’t expect more from a Real Salt Lake soccer
Game. I was hoping that they would get beat but I guess the other team
Sucked crap too. But yeah RSL suck and Chivas is the best team ever.
They would kill RSL if they ever played them….

Music
Music plays a big role In my life. It expresses who I am. Depending on what im listening to can explain what mood im in. I couldn’t live without music I listen to It all day everyday when im out of school. I only listen to rap and hip hop I like the beat I can dance to it. And have fun you cant dance to country music hell na.
Favorite Quote
“You have absolute power over your own life.”

I like it because whet I’ve been threw I’m the only one to blame. My drug addiction is what I’ve chosen to do. I think that in some cases it’s not completely true like when some ones choices effect you in a harsh way. This book has helped me realize that I need to take responsibility for my behaviors and actions.

Favorite quote from Whirligig pg.56
My family left the mountains, where we always lived.
I like it because it is saying that where he use to live and that was the place he loved and lived for most of his life, and his family had to ruined it for him and probably his family to but his family does not fill the shame as much as he does.

Role music plays in my life
Reggae music because when I’m down it brings my hopes up when I listen to reggae I free my mind and it helps me to calm down when I’m disappointed pissed or sad reggae is always there for me I like reggae to because when your about to go out with a girl you put it on and you start singing it to the girl and she likes it .
What role music plays in my life?
Music in my life is a somewhat big part because when I am not in the best mood or just down then I like to just listen to words and what they really mean I think that in everyday life music should be there for anybody at any time. I don’t know if you have heard about bob Marley and how he thought that love and music could cure raciest people 2 days before he played at a concert he was shot still he showed up at that concert and somebody asked him why he should up and he told them that the bad people aren’t taking a day off so why should he. I think that is something that everybody should think about. So this is what I think about this music though in my life like I said is a big thing. I like all different kinds of music r&b, some country some rock some blues just all different kinds my favorite is r&b so yeah that’s it so i'm out peace

Choice of a Quote
“ You can’t see the wind, but look what it can do. It’s
Invisible but powerful. Like thoughts
Whirligig page 26
Invisible but powerful. Like thoughts
Whirligig page 26
I chose this cuz yes the wind is strong when it needs to be, just like thoughts when you use them in a good way you will make the right decision. No matter the wind miles per hour the stongest wind is in your mind and like any thing else there is always and bad end to every thing. There are hurricanes and typhoons they do get out of control just like thoughts do you don’t take care of your thoughts you will end up in a bad situation of even jail. So don’t let your thoughts get to out of control.
Quotie Quote
“I can also tell you that all those that die want that we should have a life with laughing. They want us to laugh all the laughs that were taken away from them” ~ Whirligig, page 84.
I must say that this is my favorite quote so far because only this one and one other have stood out to me throughout the book so far and the other one isn’t as “uplifting”. And uplifting quotes make people smile.

Da Vinci Exhibit
Rich just hang out and for what I see it look like he’s having fun. And making things with his hands. The room looks like brown so its dark and I can’t see much.
My First Field Trip at Summit High
I had a lot of fun at the aquarium.
You can see a lot of colors there.
There were a lot of fishes and jellyfishes.
You can touch the stingray it was sooooo cool.
Summit's First Field Trip
The Da Vinci Experience was the last stop on our field trip and the most exciting out of all of them. I thought that it was very educational and very interesting. The first part of the museum was his inventions. I never know how much he could do. We also went to The Living Planet Aquarium it’s was pretty boring except for the Stingrays they felt really cool my favorite part was when me and my friends got are pictures taken they were really funny. We also went to Kennecott Copper Mine I never realized how much copper we use. It was an amazing day all around and I can’t wait till the next field trip.
Stingrays
STINGRAYS ARE REALLY COOL. THEY FEEL LIKE A BUNCH OF GRAPE JELLY IN YOUR HAND. AT FIRST YOU’RE VERY SCARED THAT IT’S GONNA STING YOU. THEY TAKE OUT THE STINGRAY THINGS SO THAT THEY ARE HARMLESS.WHEN YOU PUT YOUR HAND IN THAT WATER. IT’S LIKE WOW! DID I ACTUALLY TOUCH THAT? YOU’RE SO AMAZED.
Copper Mine
The copper mine was a really cool place. I really liked that place because I really learned a lot. I thought that the trucks would not cost that much. They cost 2.8 million dollars that is a lot of money.
The shovel things cost 16 million dollars. The dump trucks are really big they look really small in the mine but once they get up to the top of mine they are really big. The mine is the biggest man made hole.
Field Trip
We went to the copper mine first wow it was big. It wasn’t what I expected and there is more to than you think. Next we went to lunch then to the aquarium. I had touched a sting ray they feel cool they feel like silk but wet and slimy. After all the excitement at the aquarium we went to the the devinci experience. Wow who would have thought how much stuff he had made. There was so much cool stuff. All in all it was a great day.
Jelly Fish
On June 13th, Summit High School in Orem Utah went on a field trip. The first place that the school went to was Kennecott Copper Mine. Then next they went to The Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy. I though that this Aquarium was a really great learning experience! First thing that I saw when I went in there was a jelly fish! It was the first time that I have ever seen one! Then I saw an octopus and it was awesome! Plus I touched a stingray, starfish and a crab! It was really cool there! Finally we had to go and we went to the Da Vinci Experience! It was not that amusing to me but hey, that’s just my opinion!
First Field Trip
We went to the aquarium, the Da Vinci Experience, and the Kennecott Copper Mine. I learned a ton about American dependence on copper. It really surprised me at how much I use copper without knowing it. When we went to the Da Vinci Experience I really saw how smart of a man he really was. During that period of time he didn’t have much technology to make the conclusions he did, granted some of them were not exactly right but he was very close and by far the best of his time. The aquarium was boring other than the stingrays. All in all the field trip was fun.
The Boring Di Vinci Thing
When we went to the Di Vinci experience it was really chill. It was alright kind of boring but there was really cool stuff there. The coolest thing there was the glass room where you could see your whole head. After we were done there sitting in the hall was fun. It was an alright place I wouldn’t go there again though.
The Biggest Man Made Whole on Earth
Last Friday we went to the Kennecott copper mine. It was different than all of the other times that I have been there not only because I wasn’t with my family but that you couldn’t see the bottom where the water is green. Also there where working a couple hundred feet in front of us with a big shelve. I learned that it is going under ground in 2016 and no more digging will be done on the outside. Another thing I learned is that Kennecott made 42,000,000,000 in profit.
The field trip of Kennecott canyon
The Kennecott canyon was alright but I have been there before like about five other times but it still was alright because it has changed a little since I have been there.
How it has changed is by, they have done more to the interior of the hole and they have done a little more to the inside of the building but other then that they have done nothing else that I can recognize.
The other thing I could not believe is how heavy the tire was and its been a long time but I think it has gotten bigger.
Field Trips
When we took our field trip to Kennecott Copper Mine we saw the pit and all of the hauling trucks. After being outside we went inside and saw the museum and all of the things they had at the mine like how you see copper everywhere. And I learned how we use copper in our lives every day. Like pots and pans, we use them to cook with. When we went to the Aquarium we saw all of the fish and like there were sharks, stingrays, jellyfish, ext. At the Aquarium there was fish, and the stingrays you could touch them. And I learned that they cut the stingers off every three months. They kept the male stingrays in with the sharks because it was mating season and when the babies come out they come out with there stingers on and that would be a hassle to cut off all of them.
The Living Planet Aquarium
One of the part that I liked about the field trip was the aquarium.
I liked the aquarium because we got to see different types of fish and other things that live in the sea. We got to touch the sting rays that they had there. I had never touched a sting ray and I it felt weird and kind of like jelly.
The Aquarium
We went to the aquarium. Which was the only one I really even wanted to go to. The other ones were intresting but I got to touch a freaking sting ray, and see a bunch of fish and stuff. It was pretty cool me and oscar saw this pretty hot chick but she was older. Haha oh well though. My favorite part was lookin at all the fish. There was one fish that didn’t even look like a fish.
Field Trip
Well the field trip that I enjoyed the most was the aquarium. The reason why I liked the aquarium is because I liked the sting rays that we got to touch they felt kind of slimy and hard. And I also liked the shark even though we couldn’t touch them they were still really cool.
Aquarium
While on the trip we went and saw sting ray they felt smooth and slimy I saw a lot of different things while there jelly fish and other things the sting rays wear a circler shape -000and had long tails there stingers wear cut off so they could not sting you the wear probly from head to tail 2 to 3 ft long.
Aquarium
My favorite place that we went to was the aquarium because we got to touch the animals. One of the animals that I liked touching was the stingray cuz it was real slimy and I never touched any of those animals before. I also got to see a lot of water animals that I never seen before. I also had fun because the place gives people to experience touching those animals that they would not have had the opportunity to touch if they were not at the aquarium. That is why I liked this place the most.
My Aquarium Experience
What I saw that was really in the Aquarium was all kinds of different sea lives.
The one that I really enjoyed was the jelly fishes I thought that was pretty neat. The reason why I was so interested into it is because I never had the chance to see them only on T.V so to see them up close was pretty fascinating. I liked the way they moved and how there wavy legs moved back and forth so that is what I really enjoyed at the Aquarium.
The Living Aquarium
I had a lots of fun on the aquarium I like it better then all the others places that we went n I like this place because there were a lots of animals that I never seen n specially the stingray what made it funnier was the staff I like every single staff that went but yea I like it a lot all the fishes that were there where a trip I had lots a fun in all the places we went but ma favorite one was the aquarium.
Kennecott Copper Mine
The copper mine is the biggest man made open pit mine, that has ever been made. You can see this open pit mine from space that is how big this mine is. And the best fact that I like the most is that the mine is only a mile from were I am from.
The mine is 2 miles wide and about a mile and a half wide that is amazing. The mine is the life support of every thing we see and touch today.
Stingray
The ray was cool and stuff like that .it felt crazy like
You do not know. But yaw I wish I could go back
There one more time. Just because I did like a lot
I like all the fish there they are cool if I could
Be a fish what fish would Be would be a ray
KCM
Large enough to see from space, the Kennecott Copper Mine is quite a sight to see up close. When it first comes into sight, it looks like an eroded mountain set randomly between other more lush mountains. When I first saw it, I just wanted to stare and take in all the colours and sights; the browns, reds, oranges, the trucks with beds big enough for my bedroom, etc. When we got to the top (or as close to the top as we could get) we were allowed to either stay outside and take in the views, or go into the building where there are tons of various things to look at. I must say though, that my favourite part of visiting Kennecott Copper Mine was knowing that even though some of the kids claim that they didn’t enjoy it, they were able to see something great and they knew it.
Kennecott Copper Mine
Kennecott Copper Mine
(Bingham Copper Mine)
I wasn’t able to go to the field trip to the Kennecott mine, but I was able to view some pictures and here’s what I thought about them.
The first picture I’m going to describe is one of Jose leaning over the edge of one of the railings at the mine. I know that the mine is very deep so I assume that he is leaning over the edge to get a look far down into the mine. That, I think, would be a very cool experience.
The next picture I saw was one of a student standing next to a tire that one of the trucks use. These tires are huge! They have to be big though so they can carry all of the dirt out of the hole!
Anyways, I wish I could have gone to Kennecott, but you can’t do everything I guess. Maybe next time I’ll make it.
