CTEF Annual Dinner

           Two days ago, I went to the CTEF Annual Dinner. There, I sold raffle tickets.
           I felt unhappy about selling the tickets at first because I felt bored. I didn't want to go around holding a box and ripping apart tickets to drop in it. I saw kids playing games, and I wanted to do that, too. I didn't want to keep walking around to tables, selling raffle tickets. I ripped the tickets, dropped them in, ripped more tickets, dropped them in, and repeated the process. It was tedious and annoying. I really wanted to take a break and have some fun.
           I decided to keep selling tickets because I wanted to help kids in China have a good education. I felt that these kids deserved an education, and I wanted to give them a chance to have one. So I kept selling raffle tickets, ripping them and dropping them into the box, even though I really wanted to play some games. I kept selling tickets to help children in China. My partners and I earned $590, enough to help 3 elementary school students in China have a whole year of education.
           To sum up, even though I didn't get much time to play games, it was worth helping the children in China get their education.

word plexer puzzle

Today morning we had some fun morning work. It was called a "word plexer puzzle". So basically it was a picture with words arranged weirdly - like the answer to the one above is "deadly" because the "lee" is laying on the ground, "dead", therefore "deadlee" or "deadly". One puzzle I really liked was                       cast weather         cast                       cast                       cast This puzzle's answer is "weather forecast" because there are four casts. I liked the use of numbers and it took me a long time to get it. I kept thinking it had something to do with "overcast" or "undercast"(which I don't think is a wo...

The Rise of Phone Reading

Recently, reading on your phone has grown in popularity. As more and more people try to find time in their lives to read books, more and more people turn to their phones. In a normal adult's tightly packed life, there are only a few small moments to read for pleasure, and the easiest way to take advantage of those moments is to use your phone. One parent said that they found that they had to continually rock is baby's cradle from 3-5 a.m. to get her to go to sleep. He found that he could hold his phone with one hand while rocking the cradle with the other hand. This way, he could read books while rocking his baby's cradle. He found this to be efficient, and soon he was reading while walking on the Microsoft campus where he worked, reading at lunch, and reading whenever he had a bit of time. The parent said that if they had waited for five hours of time like they used to, they would never get to read. The normal lives of adults these days are just too packed to allow time ...
