March Madness

March Madness is my favorite part of the basketball season and is probably my favorite way that any sports season is ended. March Madness is the NCAA tournament that has 64 teams and 6 different rounds. This tournament is always very fun to watch and it is fun to pick the brackets for who you think is going to win. This is something I have been doing every year for a while. I am usually pretty good at this but this has been my worst year in a while.

This years tournament has had more upsets than I have ever seen. The most shocking of which made history when the 16 seeded UMBC beat Virginia the overall 1 seed.  This also happened to be who I had picked to win the tournament and my bracket was already done for before the second round. Then there is also Loyola Chicago who has made it into the final 4 tied for the highest seed to make it there. This was overall no ones year for picking a bracket.

    I also enjoy picking brackets, but I just lost my champion, Duke, so this year's ride is over for me. I agree that this was nobody's year for picking the perfect bracket because of all the upsets. Although my bracket along with many other were ruined early, this has definitely been one of the most exciting March Madness tournaments in a while.

        Thanksgiving break can be so annoying. We have so much homework and it stresses me out the entire break. I wish we could have a whole break with no homework. But I guess that is just too much to ask for. I get that we need to keep our minds refreshed sometimes but we get so much homework it does so much more than that.        Thanksgiving is also just not my favorite holiday in general. We have to all just sit together and eat and it is so boring. Thursday was definitely my least favorite day of the break. It isn't my moms favorite holiday because eating food we don't especially like isnt our favorite pastime. So this holiday gets on my nerves.

Gun control

I am responding to a Newsday article written by Justin Haskins responding to the Las Vegas shooting and on the issue of gun control. Haskins makes the claim that strict gun laws will not work in this country as they already do not work. He also wants to explain why this will not work    " the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a group that supports enhancing gun-control laws, gave in its recent gun-control report card “F” grades (for having lax gun laws) to five of the six states that have the lowest homicide rates"(Haskins). Haskins points out here that there is correlation between having gun laws that aren't strict and having low homicide rates. He also points out that the six states of Arkansas, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and West Virginia are the only states that have 50% of households that own firearms. He points out that  these states are among the top ranked for having the lowest homicide rates. He discusses how the statistics from cities that have ver...

Dear 12 year old

     Don't quit something that you have started ever. It is something I have tried to make good on for my life and it is a value that is very important to me. It is something many of my coaches have preached and it is something I try to preach to the rest of my family. Quitting is something that seems so easy but it never pays off and is just the easy way out.      This is something that I recommend to a 12 year old because at that point in life everything starts to get harder. When everything gets harder, quitting seems so easy and like that is the best thing to do. The best thing to do I have found is almost never the easiest. If you sort something, you finish it no matter what it is. This is what I would consider to be the best advice that I can give at the time.
