Failure

We all fail at one time or the other. Some of us fail more noticeably than others. Describe a time when you have failed. Was it as bad as some of these in the video? How did you react to it? If you were to make a fail montage what clips would you include in it?

Extreme Weather Watch!

I'm sure many of you have noticed the weird weather lately. From tornadoes ripping through entire cities, rain ruining lots of homes, to blazing heat: the weather has been a little crazy! Personally I would like if it could be a mild temperature, and get a little rain every few days just to keep everything moist. Watch this video.

What is your view on the weather we are having? Do you wish you could change the weather? Do you like it the way it is? What would be your favorite weather to have if you could choose?

Super Hero

Some of you may have heard of the recent heroics of Eddie Peoples, who recently foiled a bank robbery. Eddie is also a Sergeant in the U.S. Army and has served several tours in war zones overseas. Watch the news story of Eddie's heroics. Do you think he is a hero? Would have done the same things he did, including chasing the bank robber? Or would you have done something else?

SOL Time

They are here and you may have already taken one of them. That's right, I am talking about SOL tests. They are among the most stressful things going on at WHS this week and next. Doesn't it seem that everyone is talking about them?

Teachers stress over them. Parents stress over them. Students probably stress over them, also. Are they causing you a lot of stress? What do you think of them? If you could, would you change them and how? Please tell us what you think of them and if you would make any changes to the format.

Wipeout

One of my favorite TV shows is Wipeout. I imagine that it is one of yours. Since debuting several years as a summertime filler, it is now on pretty much all year. Between the Big Balls, funny announcers and numerous wipeouts, it is sure to leave you laughing! Here are a few videos to leave you laughing. Do you enjoy Wipeout as much as I do? Is it the funniest show on television. If it is not the funniest show, then what is?

Who's to Blame???????

Imagine a world in which your parents could be fined if you are tardy or truant. And imagine if you will that teachers could grade your parents as well as you. Sound crazy?





As the video shows, several states are actually considering proposals very similar to those.









What do you think of these proposals? Will they make a difference in how students perform? Is it fair to hold parents accountable for student performance in school? If parents were held accountable in some way would that change your performance in school?

What's Your Sign???

We all have heard a thing or two about Zodiac signs; some people believe that they are the key to your personality and your flaws of life.

My sign is the Leo, or the lion. Once reading about the Leo I was very shocked that most of the things that are said are actually true. Reading my horoscope from day-to-day is just something I like to do.

Today I would like to know if you believe in Zodiac Signs and horoscopes? If not, why? If you do, what makes you proud to be the sign that you are? Have you read any interesting things about your sign that fit you?


If you need help figuring things out about your sign here is a recommended website!

Once you're here choose your sign and it will give you information.
