One experience I have had lately is joining a new community. I have gone to a new high school and met many new people that I will now for the next four years. This is a very new experience for me especially since I had gone to a small school before. This is also a transition from the classwork to the amount of time I used to have and now is used for school. It is very confusing and new to understand but I am starting to get use to it.
 
        The first day I had gone to my new school, I had been welcomed and introduced to so many new people. It does not help me at all especially since I am horrible with names and cannot remember certain people without at least meeting them a thousand times first. As I was still walked through the campus, my view of the school had totally changed from a very nice high school to my future in academics before college. This still reminds me of how glad I am to be at a school like mine and know the people that I know. Until the next post, enjoy life and never forget how special things are in life.

          A new book I have been reading lately has really kept me entertained and interested. The book is called Retribution and it is written by David Hagberg. This book has the basis of one of the darkest and worse times in United States history, 9/11. It takes you through the story of the SEALS who had stopped the man who had started all of the tragedy.  This identifies and shows the history and the events of most of the members of the SEAL team's members.

          I have been reading this book over time and understood every detail of the story. This is not a long book, but I have been reading this for a long time since I have not had time to stop and read it. This book is truly a book that shows the hardships and sacrifices our military makes for us. This book has been known to inspire many people to help and join the military. I recommend this book to everyone a lot more than I usually do with books. Please read this book and tell me if you liked it or not. Until next, love life, live in faith, and I will post as soon as I can again.

Drew-My Summer Time

Austin-"The Boy In The Striped Pajamas"

         Summer reading this year had really introduced me to three books that I have not heard of before. One of the main books that I had really liked was Friday Night Lights by H. G. Bissenger. This book did not have me bored at anytime and had me constantly reading with its details, plot, etc. This book is very easy to understand and enjoy if you understand football and know its backgrounds such as the locker room, the practices, the team's reactions, etc. I recommend this book especially if you like to read nonfiction and stories about football.

         This book may have not been the shortest or the best book of all time, but the story is very vivid. I had felt that I had been in the story with its details of the scenery and atmosphere. As much as I ask you to read this book, you might have also already seen the movie. If you have not, do not watch it until you read the book first. Doing this, it spoils the ending, gives you false information, and makes you think the movie is the story. The movie does not tell the story, the book does because it was written by one person and does not take out and replace parts of the story. Still knowing this, please read the book. Send me the feedback on how you liked it or tell me if you did not. Please, reading this book will change your view of what you might know a lot. Until the next blog, enjoy life and please read that book!

        If you do not know me, let me introduce myself. My name is Tristen, but you can give me different nicknames that you would like to. With this blog that I have made, I would like to give my opinion and hopefully hear other opinions on topics that may be random or relevant to what is happening today. If at anytime you need to ask a question, state your opinion, or anything else, please comment so I can see your response. I will state my own true opinion on these topics so you do not see this blog as propaganda, full of lies, or not trustworthy.

      This blog will hopefully give people the reason to give your opinion and discover other opinions. I want to discuss important things and even the little things that could lead to big things. This is very important to me to help to achieve this goal. I am concerned on what to exactly say, to be honest, some things I might have just found out or discovered. But this does not matter, just finding out something does not mean you cannot state your opinion on it. Stick with your guts and say what you think should happen. I wish the best of luck and will get back to this blog as soon as possible.
