Political Article
In the article, former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been unemployed in the NFL. The NFL owners will not hire him because they want to avoid hearing Trump's anger about the situation on his Twitter account. Last season, Kaepernick kneeled during the National Anthem because the anthem didn't equal up to what is currently happening in America. In the article, it states that "critics decried his actions unpatriotic and disrespectful to military service members and the American flag".
I don't believe the NFL owners are afraid of Trump and his Twitter account. The NFL doesn't want to deal with the hatred from the fans and will affect their team's status. Colin Kapernick's purpose of kneeling was to take a stand to stop police brutality and have equal opportunities for minorities. I agree with Kaepernick on this issue in America and how we need to stop police brutality in America.
I felt like this was a good topic for me because I knew the main purpose of him kneeling, but I don't understand how his action to take a stand against a major problem in America led him to unemployment. His actions to me was brave and he did receive a lot of criticism. I also wondered how the president's Twitter account and NFL owners being afraid of his opinion can affects someone's career and passion for the sport. Colin Kaepernick is an free agent mainly because of his opinion about the big problem in America that will never stop.

The Last Quarter
I learned that I'm a pretty good writer. I'm pretty good at writing down my feelings and what I do in a teenage point of view. I can work on expanding my vocabulary. As a student, I've improved a lot. I stay on schedule with my work and confident enough to ask my teacher for help. I learn best when we play review games about the topic, draw pictures, and doing note-cards.
I'll use my tactics to get a better understanding of the unit and stop getting B's in the class. I want to make an A to end my freshmen year. It will also make me more productive in class and improve my vocabulary. I will make the 4th quarter the best quarter to in my freshmen year.

Best Weekend Ever
This weekend was great. On Thursday, I left in the middle of Launch Fest to go to Monroe for the State Powerlifting Meet. We went to the hotel to put our bags in our room and go to weigh-ins. It took an hour to call our school and turned out I weighed 106.8 pounds, 9 pounds more than last summer. Then we went back to the hotel and ate pizza. I only ate 2 slices of pizza. I went to sleep.
At 3:00 p.m. ,the next day, it was time to compete. I squatted 195 pounds. I benched 85 pounds. And then it came to deadlift. I was in 4th place the whole meet. I was losing by 55 pounds. The lifter in 3rd dead-lifted 235 pounds. I had to deadlift 290 pounds in order to beat him and place 3rd to break the school record in my weight class by 5 pounds. I lifted it and tied him at a total of 565 pounds. Then to break the tie they looked at the weighs of both of us and I weighed the lightest. I won 3rd in the state with the school record for deadlift in my weight class, too. This is the biggest accomplishment in my life because I can say I'm top 3 in the state in powerlifting..
