Something I'm Good at - 4/7/2017

Something I believe I am good at is math. Three ways I could improve in this subject is furthering my education in it, spend more time studying it, or take more advanced math classes. For some people math just clicks, for others it doesn't. Also not everyone is good at the same math, for example I hate and am awful at geometry but love and great at algebra. There aren't many "must knows", you either get it or you don't.

Apps - 4/5/17

I use apps constantly, from social media apps, to apple music or sound cloud, to apps that help me with other everyday things. I couldn't imagine a life without apps, not being able to check your bank account whenever you want or not being able to constantly have a GPS with you. My daily life, as well as most peoples, would become much more difficult than it is. Everything will become more time consuming without apps.

New Technology Aimed at Preventing Dangerous Police Puruits

The article I read was “New technology aimed at preventing dangerous police pursuits” by Jim Madalinsky. This article is about a new piece of technology called the StarChase that is attached to police cars and used to track cars while in pursuit. The StarChase uses a compressed air-launcher, a laser and GPS tracker to tag fleeing suspects and their vehicle. What this allows the deputy to do and stop pursuing after the vehicle has been tagged and once the vehicle stops they can go find them. We haven’t learned about GPS tracking but this is a very cool new piece of technology the police force can put to use to help keep communities safe. Taking out the pursuit part of a pursuit can really minimize the dangers for the deputy, suspect, and innocent bystanders. One interesting fact I learned from the article is the just one StarChase costs about $5,000 and the GPS is about $250 each.

Spring Break - 3/22/17

This year for Spring Break I went to Mexico along side with my mother, grandmother and some other class mates. I did a lot of cool things from snorkeling to eating dinner on the beach. I also played a lot of beach volleyball and just hung out at the beach. The sunsets/rises were incredible.
