A Personal Water Craft

Introduction

     Maybe people enjoy deeping their feet in a pool while others like to speed over the water. You probably know what I'm talking about. A speedboat! Have you ever ridden in one? It could be a wonderful experience to bumb around the top of the water and feeling the spray of water in your hair. To make it even better, would you like to ride a bike or motorcycle on top of the water?!? Wouldn't that be cool? Well, this can all come possible with a personal water craft. You may know or heard of theses fantastic machines. Maybe seen them on lakesor heard of them in books. Since the 1960s, these tint, speedy personal boats have become extremely popular. One difference between a personal water craft (PWC) and a speed boat is that the speed boat has a powerful propeller that boosts it forward. Well, a PWC is moved by powerful squirts of water that propel it forward. You might think that how would the water be able to push the car with great speed even though it sometimes carries a weight way more than itself. Well, this is all done with a huge engine probably the size of one in a small car or in a big motorcycle. Check the video below to see Alexander Petrovic, one of the nest jetskiers testing a personal water craft out.

My Opinion

     Did you see that amazing stunt dude!!! That was amazing!!! I just can't believe those amazing stunts he did. They were outstanding!!! Esspescially that water craft. That looks really nice, fancy, and the latest (it looks like that at least). Would you like to ride one of these amazing vehicles? I would (maybe). I would want a professoinal to ride and me be on the vehicle behing them. The only worry I would have is falling off or getting hurt.

Yout Turn

     Do you remember what I had said earlier? About the part that asked would you like to ride a personal water craft? Weel, that's what I am gonna' ask you again. Would you? Post your answer in the comments below. Please support your answer with reasons why chose what you chose. So...Would you?!?

Cars of the Future

Introduction

     Many key days in life of others are the day they get a car. High school students usually want a car in their sophomore year. In the future they will be begging for one of those new cars that have opened new possibilities in the automotive world. But, we all know that these possibilities have not yet been unlocked. It all started with Glenn Curtiss who tried to invent the flying ( it never really flew, though).  That's when everyone else started trying to hit that accomplishment. Although, not all futuristic cars have to fly. There have been other ideas such as adaptive cruise control. Adding the word adaptive made it futuristic because if the traffic increases it will slow down by itself. That will be a great advancement-to me.
 

My Opinion

     I, myself, think it's amazing that are traffic today might once be considered air traffic. Speaking of air traffic what do you think will be the first automotive advancement. Flying cars or adaptive cruise control. Also, how much do you think it will cost? Probably more than a million (I'm not joking). But still, it'll be great know there is a new type of technological path that could branch off to other amazing ideas.

Your Turn

     Now it's your turn. What do you think will be the first advancement? Also, if you can ( I don't know if it's possible) send a picture to me about how the futuristic car would look. Put this all in the comments below. PEACE!
    
    

Walt Disney

An Amazing Life

     Walt Disney had a unique early life that obviously lead to the success he had as an adult. To start from the beggining he was born on December 5, 1901 in Chicago, Illinios. For most of his childhood he drew, painted, and sold pictures to neighbors, family, and friends. As he grew up he moved to Kansas City. There he found a new job with the railroad, selling snacks. Later he attended McKInley High School where he took drawing and photography classes.For a family life he married one of his first employees, Lillian Bounds. They would later be blessed with 2 daughters. As he lived he had some major accomplishments. First of all, Walt created a new character , Mickey Mouse. Secondly he made the world's first synchronized sound cartoon. Thirdly, in 1932, the production entitled Flowers and Trees won Walt the first if his studios Academy Awards.

Quotes

     Through out Walt's life he had many famous qoutes. One of the quotes he had said was,"If you can dream it, you can do it." My opinion for this quote is that since it inspires someone to follow your dreams it is a good quote to live by. Another quote he said was,"The way to get started is to quit talking and bedin doing." This qoute I like because it means you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk. The third and final quote I'm going to be sharing is."All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." My opinion for this qoute is that I like it because it shows that in order to do something you need to try.

Accomplishments

     Walt Disney acheived many things in his life. I'm going to talk about 3 of them. Did you know Walt created the new, now-famous character,Mickey Mouse? This is amazing. Just think asking little children who Walt DIsney is. At first they probablt won't know. But, once I say he created Mickey Mouse they will be like I LOVE WALT DISNEY!!! Another one of his accomplishments was that he made the world's first synchronized sound cartoon. A synchronized sound cartoon is a cartoon that...I'll just give an example. It's when if a character gets hit with a pot that sound of him getting hit is what you will hear. The third and final accomplishment I am going to talk about is that in 1932, the production Flowers and Trees won Walt the first of his studio's Academy Awards. This could inspire someone because in the life that he went through he was so successful that anyone could probably be as successful with not-so-good lead life.
