  1. because this is the last blog of the year I'm gonna make this one count. most people don't understand the seriousness of concussion so today I'm gonna explain how terrible concussions actually are. first all you cant put someone in a bubble to stop them from getting a concussion because when you hit your head its your brain moving around in your skull. most of the time people don't know that they have a concussion and don't see a doctor there could be long term damage. if you hit your head or get a serious whiplashed you should go get checked out just I case. I've had four concussions and if I could go back in time and changed what happened I would. after I hit my head I felt dizzy and nauseous and I just didn't feel right. as soon as my mom looked at me she knew something was not right so I told what happened and she rushed me to the hospital right away. I was diagnosed with a severe concussion and it took me a while to recover because I would get killer migraines and have to go the hospital for meds but after I finally recovered I didn't really feel the same, I was slower and couldn't focus or see properly now I need glasses long term because of my concussion. I will never stress enough of how important it is to protect your head and to stay safe because one bad fall and everything could change forever.

  2. This is the last blog of the year! I can't believe it's already done! I don't really know what to say since there is so much freedom into doing this blog. I'm going to talk about summer. I am super excited about summer. I really hope I don't go to summer school. It would be my first time going. I'm super nervous. Anyways this summer I think I am going on vacation with my family to Punta Cana. I think I'm going to have a very enjoyable and relaxing summer.

  3. Can't believe this is the last blog . For the last blog I think I'm going to talk about the exams . The exams that will take about 50% of the entire term 3 grades(which every single teacher seems to remind us every second ). I'm stressed and panicky and we still have more than two weeks left before. A bunch of teachers are teaching things last minute and it's very hard to get prepared while being thrown new information at the same time . I feel like I don't have enough time and I started preparing myself the beginning of the month . I hate how the teachers are handling situations . Every week I have a quiz or something in every class and I can't handle the pressure . I hope I will be prepared and do great on the exams so I can make myself and my family proud.

  4. Wow here I come to think about how much I'm going to miss blogging every week since the beginning of the year. This is our last blog of secondary three and I'm honestly going to miss it. Since this is a free blog I'm going to be talking about what happened to me today.
    For the last couple of weeks my mom has been talking about her fiancé who lives in France more then she usually does. She kept on asking how we would want to go pick him up from the airport and how we can surprise him when he can finally come back home. Weeks went on and my mom still asked us here and there some questions of her fiancé. My mother works at Broccolini which is a contruction industry and she works many hours but thankfully made many friends and have been there for her through this entire life crises. She told me that she was planning on surprising her colleague by having a surprise party. Yesterday I spent my entire day cleaning the house and blowing up balloons and decorating and setting the table and making food and deserts for this party. I barely knew the girl but she was my moms friend so I respected that and I went through a horrible and tiring day for my mom... or was it?
    Today I'm ik my room the guests start to arrive and they keep calling me down for a weird reason. Im waiting for my mom to arrive back home from her meeting but she still hasent come home yet. I eventually go downstairs and I see everyone hiding. They all take me and they shush me down.
    My mom eventually comes home and hides next to me and all of a sudden instead of the surprise party being it for the girl it was for us three kids and my moms fiancé who was able to come back home. It was all planned out. The party wasn't for her friend it was for us. My mom tried to surprise my brother my sister and I. It was a shock because I wasn't expecting to see my step dad come back home after 18 months of absence. It was very funny,confusing and emotional but it was great. I still can't believe my mom pulled this off all by herself.

  5. Wow, never knew that a year can go so fast. School's almost over and exam's are coming up. So because this is are last blog and also a free choice, I going to talk about Carnival Day and it's activities. I know this because I'm in leadership and we're organizing part of the fun activities. If you don't want to know, then don't read. So, there going to be some small activities around the court. There is a prize wheel, several games like Can Toss, Water Gun Race, Frisbee Throw and basketball. There is going to be Face Painting, Dunk Tank, and others we don't because it's the grade 11 leadership and student council who are the major workers for the Carnival Day. There is going to be food stand, bouncy castle, and a concert for songs. Hope you guys enjoy the Carnival Day.

  6. Lowkey happy that this is the last blog loll. So happy that school is coming to an end, its about time! I think that for this blog I'm gonna talk about my vacations, since the summer is coming up. Ever since i was born my parents loved taking me out for vacations, even at a young age. I remember when i was about 4 or 5 around we went on a 3 week cruise to th carribean like around st martin, st kitts, bahamas and jamaica. It was one of the best vacations I've ever taken. But if i had to compare my vacations, the best one would be the one i just took last december break. It was AMAZING. Our trip was to Key West. First we drove to plattsburg to catch our flight there and then when we arrived at fort lauderdale airport we rented the nicest cars at that airport and we drove down to key west. I have a condo in florida also so we go there often too. But this time we decided to do something different. We were with my cousins, and so we drove to key west. We booked a 2 story condo instead of staying at a hotel in Key West. We then rented scooters to get around to the beaches and restaurants. Me and my mom shared one, most of the time i was driving, which was really fun so i really enjoyed that part. But the most amazing thing were the beaches... Oh my god they were white sand beaches with nobody on them, so it was just my family and my cousins. They had so many palm trees and the water was crystal clear. One day we went to the beach and my mom and I liked to take walks along the water, and that day we passed by a wedding on the beach and it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It was facing the ocean and there were boats in the background and it was so calming and nice. I want to go back so bad.

  7. Last blog of the year! Even I came late in the year and i'm tired of doing these blogs every week! For my last blog I will be talking about my whole experience at St-Thomas. I believe that this is the best school out there! I find the teachers are amazing at this school because they enjoy teaching the students, and you can feels that excitement when they teach their students. Another reason why I like St-Thomas so much is because of the students. The first day I walked in to this school I felt welcomed by everyone. I felt respected. No matter how weird I was everyone accepted me for who I was! All this to say that if anyone where to look for a school in Quebec, St-Thomas would be my first recommendation.

  8. hope you guys enjoy my rap!

    I was born with fear it was very clear. Even a whisper in my ear i would start to tear. When I turned twelve i got to know myself. I knew if i had fear my career would go no where. I decided to make the change. The things i did made me seem strange. I played at the court because basketball was my favourite sport. I was quite tall but my great friend was really small. But we didn't care cuz we had no fear.


    When the bigger and older guys came by we didn't say our goodbyes. We stayed and played cuz we knew someday we would get very highly paid. I was called lebron and he was called Jwall when we played together we were just like chris paul. We were fast and explosive we turned on our gear like automotive. Fear was never there, being scared is useless it turns everything good juiceless.


    Living life without fear opens the door for putting 24 carrots in your baby girl's ear. Even if your born ziller just know you can turn you life around and turn into a winner. Enjoy everything about life don’t let fright ruin your night. Make the adjustment to your heart before this world of fear will tear you apart.

  10. Unfortunately I am not going to be writing about something happy, at first I didn’t know what to write about until I was in a store today. I don’t want to make anyone feel bad about eating meat so I hope no one gets offended by this. So I’m not a vegetarian or a vegan, I want to be one like my sister but my parents say I’m too skinny therefor it will affect my health. I was in IGA and while my dad and I were walking I was looking at the fish section and I never actually saw a lobster being taken out and cooked. When the lady was showing the customer the lobster it was squirming and suffering and I instantly felt horrible that I started tearing up. I was thinking of how cruel humans are to animals and I know I eat meat now but I never experienced or watched an innocent creature be in so much pain. Imagine if you were walking in your neighborhood and someone captured you, put you in a cage cramped with so many people and then murdered you. My parents say god put us on earth with animals to eat them but animals have emotions, they feel pain, the have hearts, what makes us think that we are superior. If we are going to kill them then why do we torture them first, think about it this way if people get the death penalty, people get their favorite food and get treated nicely because it’s their last day on earth. However for the animals we cram them together and hurt them. Other countries need the meat but here we have so many different things to eat that can give us the nutrients we need, why do we have to kill animals.

  11. last blog, idk what to write about, I guess i'll write about stuff I like, Cars, sports and music. Musics is something I need to get through the day if not I don't feel right. Cars, they cool and all, I find them really cool and it would be pretty fun to be a mechanic and work on cars. Sports are always fun, i'd say that my favorite sports are hockey and lacrosse, but hockey is my favorite sport of them all. A pretty straight forward blog, I don't really expect anyone to read this, but if you do I guess you learn a little something about me that you might not have known.

  13. to be honest i have many things to rant about. First off dont you just love when you haven't talked to someone in weeks and they think they can just come back into your life again. Like um no you left on your own don't come crying back. But yet I feel so bad cause I don't know what the person could be going though and ugh yeah. Also exams. Exams the most stressful month of my life kinda. It's so stressful how teachers remind us every second but then they haven't even taught us half the materiel. But at the end of the day lets be honest half of these stuff won't even matter lol.

    1. I agree with a lot of the stuff we learn is going to be useless later on in life but in Mr. katz class we do stuff that is relevant at this time and day.

    2. Its so true! I am also nervous about how you need to be in high math in order to be in high science. My science marks are good but I am just a little bit worried about the final exam because we covered so many topics.

  14. It's already the last blog? This year just flew by! In this blog I'm going to speak about how great of a year I had with Mr.Katz. First of all I would like to thank Mr.Katz for making English class so much better, I'm always exited when I enter the room for English. I think this year was my favourite English class because instead of just siting at desks with people we don't know and doing boring work for an hour we got to sit next to our friends we got to do so many different activities that made the class so much better, we watched movies and had candy in class! In conclusion this was an amazing year and I'm really sad I won't be with Mr.Katz next year unless he would teach sec 4 English, Thank you Mr.Katz

  15. today(may 17) was my birthday so i guess I'll just talk about that. It was an OK day but it would have been a million times better if I didn't have school on my birthday. A lot of people wished me happy birthday and I really don't feel 15 right now. instead of opening presents, my parents and I went to fair view on Monday to go birthday shopping, because I didn't really know what I wanted for my b-day.I ended up just getting clothes like usual. I had a really good cake for my birthday, it was baskin robbins cookies and cream ice cream cake with chocolate fudge as the icing. It was really good.

  16. In this blog i am going to talk about the recent “Wanna Cry” ransom ware it is basically a virus that attacks vulnerable computer and encrypted information and demands a ransom of 300$ in bitcoin. It also one of the reason that bell recently got hacked and lost a lot of customer information to be precise about 1.9 million active customer emails, the way the ransomware is spread is by a flaw in windows the simple fix for now is updating windows. If you are using any other os you are not affected. It is actually one of the biggest cyber attacks know are in Taiwan Ukraine and Russia according to avast an it security company.

  17. I can't believe this year is already basically over. This is one of my first and last blogs I do this term:))))) anyway something that I really feel is important appreciating what you have in your life. Recently I was at the Shriners hospital, and that is a hospital for kids that have dissabilities. I genuinely don't think there was a moment were I have come to appreaciate my life more than that. Seeing all the kids not even being able to walk, made me very sad it made me think about all the times in phys ed were you wouldn't want to participate, any of those kids would love a chance to even feel what it is like to move on there own. These kids are all so precious and they have such loving parents and care givers that just have so much patience. It was touching feeling the amount of love the father had for his kid despite any challenges that have come along with his child. I have come to realize that I should be very grateful because I could have it much worse.

  18. I can't believe it's already the last blog! I'm going to talk about the thing that it's been bothering me the most: the final exams. I'm very stressed about the finals because they are worth a lot of the school year and I really want to get a good mark. There is a lot of material and although we have study guides and time to study, there are so many thing it's very hard to remember everything.

  19. Its finally that time of the year again, the school year is coming to an end. But its not quite over just yet, there are exams that have to be written, 6 exams to be exact. I think this school year has been alright. Curricular wise, not as great as I hoped, personal wise, not too bad and not the greatest. I can't wait to finally be done with all the exams! It's a lot of studying, but I know in the end that every minute of it is worth it. Every thing that happens leads to another, especially with education. How good you do in high school depends on what university you go to which then depends on the career you go into. All in all, its been an alright year.

  20. I'll talk about sleep for my last blog. I don't get much sleep because I'm a person who likes to go to bed late and wake up late. During a weekday this is not good for my health because sleep is very important. Every morning I find myself struggling to get out of bed and people say I should go to a school that starts later but I don't want cause I already have some good friends at St.Thomas. I even have trouble concentrating for the first period but then I wake up for the next five.

  21. I am going to talk about my sport during the summer. So i play golf almost every single day in the summer so I can get better and try to make the big leagues. So this year I am going to practice every single day until the end of summer. I wake up 6:00 I get to the course at 7:00 am and I am there until 11:00.
    So 2 years ago I came 3rd in Quebec last year 15th but this year I want to come first.

  22. You know who I really dislike? Hypocrites, but not just any hypocrites (because everyone is a hypocrite) I dislike the hypocrites that stand by one point and hate another even though they are the same, here is an example; people who believe in God but then say the multiple universe theory is dumb.(or the other way around) The reason this is dumb is because neither of those to things have been proven and yet people will say the other is dumb and impossible. Another example is the games Dota 2 and League of Legends, they are the same game with slight differences but still people fight over which one is better. I just find it over all mind boggling that people could fight against something even what they are fighting for is the same thing.

  23. Its the last blog of the year. This year has been up and down but it was overall great. With the classes and the people. Since this is a free blog I'm gonna talk about the exams and summer. The exams are kinda stressful and I feel like im gonna do great and get into the things I choose next year. I'm looking forward for the summer because of my referee job and all the money im gonna be making. To be honest im gonna miss having some of the teachers I had this year.
