I really enjoyed my year to North Bay for three reason.
First of all, I learned to take my responsibilities such as doing my laundry, cooking my dinner and doing my grocery shopping. When I lived to my parents’ houses it was easy to say’’ mom can you do my laundry’’. My dinner was already prepared when I came back to my practices. Now, I have to organize myself because I have a lot to do with all my practice and games.
After that, I learned to live with five other persons. It’s really hard to live with someone who doesn’t really have the same values of you. Sometimes, your roommates vacuum her bedroom at night when you are trying to sleep, you have to take a breath and relax. Also, it’s not everybody who takes the garbage out, so you only have to say in your head that you will go farther in your life than them because you are learning to take you responsibilities.
Then,I learned to be far from my family and my friends. Last year, I was with my family each day and this year it’s only once a month and haft. It’s a big change. However, this year a big piece of me was with me, Julia, and I met some friends formidable too.
Finally I don’t regret my choice because I now have many experiences under my belt.

Global warming
It’s really bad because people are not enough sensitized by pollution. They don’t really care about it, but they should because that will be a big impact in the future.
I’m really scared about it because if we think outside the box, we can understand that they will have many animals and people killed by the pollution. The earth is the more and more sick. We have to change our lifestyle. This movie disturbed me because it’s all true. Also, we can already see a lot of change in the environment. For instance, there are more and more earthquakes, the fall is very hot and the icebergs are melting. I
We must take care of the environment because we will pay for this later.

I am blue
I am exactly a blue person because I am overly sensitive. For instance, when I am watching sad movies, it’s sure that I will cry. I believe that nothing happen for nothing because after something happens, I always find out why it happened. I always try to be positive when something occurs because I think that it’s the only way that I can get over some hard situation. A good relationship is very important for me. I can’t stand to be fighting with someone to much time. It’s very important for me that there is harmony between people.
How I relieve my stress
There are more and more people who are affected by stress. People work too hard and too much. You must take care of yourself because there are more and more people who suffer heart attacks. I have some steps to do to relieve stress. When I am stress, I listen to a lot of music. I chew gum, but I have to watch myself because sometimes I chew too much. I think the best way when I am stress is doing exercises. If you don’t have a lot of time, you can only take a walk outside and take fresh breathe. Also, I think about my last trip and I imagine that I am there. When the reason of my stress is because I have a lot of things to do, I prioritize what is the most important. I write on a piece of paper and I cross it out when it’s done. In conclusion, you have to know if it’s a good or a bad stress because it’s not bad to have a good stress.

Dog are Man's Best Friend
When you think about a perfect family there is always a dog with them. Do you know that dogs are man’s best friend? Researchers found that 63 percent of all households in the United States have a pet. Getting a dog is a really big decision because they require many responsibilities. There are three big things to think about before buying a dog. You must be sure that you have enough money, you have to choose the right dog for yourself and you should choose the right time to get a dog.
First of all, you must be sure that you have enough money because getting a dog is very expensive. You have to pay for all of the equipment such as bowl, cage, laces and collar. You have to buy some food and cookies. Also, you have to register your dog with the Humane Society. Be careful, if you don’t register your dog each year, you could get a fine. I suggest you neuter your dog if you don’t want to get many puppies. In addition, there are many shots and medicines that your dog should get such as flea shot. If your dog gets sick, veterinary is very expensive. Depending on your kind of dogs; you have to groom your dog every three months. You have to look at your budget if you can afford a dog.
The second step before buying your dog is to choose the right dog for yourself such as a big or small dog. If you are a family who like to spend a lot of time outside and doing some activities, you should buy a big dog because it needs to move a lot. You have to be sure that you never give up even if it’s very cold outside. Moreover, if you didn’t move enough, your dog will have some behaviour trouble. For instance, your dog can eat some furniture that it wasn’t supposed to eat only because your dog didn’t spend enough energy. Getting a big dog is very advantageous because it motivates you to do some exercises even if you feel lazy. If you don’t like to take a long walk and you don’t want to spend a lot of energy outside, I suggest you to buy a little dog such as a poodle. However, pay attention; even if it’s a small dog, you have to exercise with it too, but not as much as with a big dog.
After that, you have to choose the right time before getting a dog. I suggest that you wait until your life is stable. For example, you shouldn’t get a dog if you want to travel because your dog cannot be alone more than one day. If you are lucky, you will have someone in your entourage who could dog sit your dog, but if you’re not, you will have to pay very much to the kennel each day. It’s for this reason that if you plan to take a big trip, you should wait until after that to buy a dog. If you are in a stress period, you shouldn’t get a puppy because it’s probable that your night will be short. It’s really hard and it takes long to train your dog to be clean. In addition, you cannot have a baby at the same time as you have a puppy because both need a lot of attention. If you have a baby first, you have to raise your baby to be gentle with the dog because sometime dogs can be dangerous. If you have a puppy first, you have to train you dog to be soft with the baby. Moreover, you must be sure that you are able to take your own responsibilities before adding other big commitments
In conclusion, there are many things to think about before getting a dog. For example, you have to be sure that you have enough budget. You have to acquire the right dog for you, and also you have to choose the right moment in your life. Now, are you ready to get a dog for many years? Think again because that can change your life. However, if you follow my advice, you will enjoy having a dog.

Ice fishing
During my March break I went ice fishing with my mother and sister. We spent good time together because the temperature was ideal. The sunshine was here. We could have tanned our face. We grabbed some fish, they was too small to keep them. We took a long walk on the lake. In addition, I went snow boding. After that, we were so exhausted. Then, we only relaxed on some chair and enjoy the sun. Finally, it was the most beautiful day during my March

The Difference Between Beach and court Volleyball
Beach and court volleyball both use the same technical moves, but they are not the same sport. First of all, beach volley is played with only two players and court volleyball is played with six players. In contrast, court volley is played in a gym, but beach volley is played in the sand. Both sports have the same technical moves. However, there are some exceptions. For instance, you can’t do a tip during a volleyball game ,but you can do it in the court. In the gym, you wear a complete volleyball uniform whereas; in the sand you wear a sport bra with a swimming suit. When you play beach volley, you have to be tolerant of the temperature because you are outside. On the other hand, with court volley ball, you are always sure that the temperature will be good because it’s inside. However it’s too bad to miss a good sunny day. It’s harder to jump in the sand than to jump on the floor. Finally, even if they are both called ‘’volleyball’’ they are completely different in terms of their technical, rules and their environment.

How to Kill the Ball during a Volleyball Game!
Doing a good smash is very important in a volleyball game because it’s a good offensive movement to win against another team. Killing the ball is very easy when you know how to jump and move your arms and legs correctly. If you follow these simple steps to the letter, you will be a real star. First of all, for a power player, you have to get off of the ground because you need space to propel yourself. Also, you ought to practice you steps before you add your arm because you need have to coordination. You must move your feet quickly and do left, right and left before you jump. Moreover, you have to start you steps when the ball is between you and your setter. In addition, when you are able to do this skill with your legs, you have to add the movement with your arms. While you are doing the step, you have to put your arms in front, back and front again. Then when you are in the air and your arm is up, if you are right-handed, you had better point at the ball with your left arm and draw back your right arm as if you are going to shoot a bow and arrow. Also, you should pass your elbow in front of you. Next, you ought to swing your arm down hard. After that, when your hand is in contact with the ball, you have to curve your wrist to give a rotation to the ball in order to make the ball hit the ground. If you start your steps too fast or too slowly, you will probably miss the ball. However, don’t be discouraged because you will be coordinated for the next time. Finally, if you follow my instructions, you will enjoy killing the ball during a volleyball game and your partner will be happy that you score many points for your team.

Why is a Blog Good for me?
A blog will help my English writing for three reasons. First of all, I think to write on a blog let me to practice my grammar and all the rules that I learn during this year. I must put my grammar's rules into practice if I want remember it for the rest of my life. After that, I will see the other blogs of my classmate and I will improve my reading too. In addition, having a blog is a good opportunity to talk about me and to learn about my classmate. It's very interesting to read about them because there are a lot of things that I don't know about my classmates. Finally, I'm so exacting to improve my grammar's rules and my reading. Most importantly, I will learn about me and my classmate.
