We watch the movie "The Road." The movie really made me think alot of what I have. Made me realized that people are not humans when they start doing things humans wouldn't regular do. People should help each other out instead of hurt one another it will make us better person.

August 4th

After school we cleaned alot. After we were done I went to robot lab. I meet some guy name John. He taught me how weld. The different between the tubes that were black and red. Some protected the wire from water and some just keeped them together. It was so much fun. People told me it was to late but I thought if I never joined I wouldn't have the chance to weld or put wires together now I think it will be easy to install speaker or a sound system it is easier than I thought.
