BellRinger 9/9

 As far as war veterans, My grandfather fought in Vietnam. Based on what he told me it wasnt a fun experience, he's never really went into detail but he has said he watched people get their life took, bombs go off and loud noises throughout the whole day. Just from those sounds alone he was left with the remembrance of a variety of sounds in his head, playing till this day. He served because he had no choice. From what I know/seen the effect that the military has on present life is mainly time, reassurance and ptsd. Relationships with children should be ok, they know where their parents are, not like hes a purposely absent father and hes not going to be gone forever, hopefully.

Bell ringer 8/29

Based on the video, I think the probability of life outside of earth is high, there’s no way earth is the only planet that has life on it. My reaction to seeing the earth from the surface of mars was normal, it looked cool and interesting. My reaction to hearing the sound of a black hole was that I was surprised, sounded like something I’ve heard before. Hearing the black hole did make me think though, like how do we know if we’re going to meet it or what exactly happens inside?.. This puts my life in a perspective in a way of its way much more space and larger out there, and from another planet or from space in general, we’re small.

 Something I used to know how to do is a front flip when I was younger. Now when I try and flip it isn't as easy as it used to be compared to when I was in my earlier years. Back then I could flip with no problem, barrel roll with no problem and even hit a cartwheel with no problem but now I just throw my body and land wrong. Falling on my head, neck and back prevents me from trying again.

Reflection 9/9

 Today in class we read a story about a father having to answer to his daughter the question of killing someone, in which he told her no. He was only asked this due to his writings and what she knows about him as her father. Also in the story we read how he indeed did kill someone while serving, but acted out of fear and treated the person and situation as a non factor after he killed him.
