DEREKS DRAWINGS

Hello my name is Derek and today on April nineteenth was the third day of working on my twenty percent project. If you don’t know I’m learning Japanese for my project. I’m learning Japanese through duolingo and if you don’t know what that is its this app that help you learn new languages, math, and music. For today I was learning the characters like the letters and also learning how to draw them. While working on my twenty percent project I only encountered no struggles so I was happy. I learned two new characters and about 5 new words but the biggest accomplishment I had doing duolingo was getting to ruby league. In duolingo there you are rewarded with this point system called “xp” also there is a ranking system. And what does “xp” do it moves you up in a leader board with others that are learning the same language as you. So If you get a lot of xp you move up if you get the least amount of xp in the leaderboard you move down. For next week I want to learn more of the Japenese character. See you next week

Hi my name is Derek M and today on 4/12/24 was the second full day in class to work on the 20 percent project. I’m learning in class Japanese through duolingo and today I got to unit 2 (for duolingo) which is also called introduce yourself order food and drink. For my accomplishments I learned how to say hello, nice to meet you, person, and my name is. While going learning through duolingo the only struggle I went through was multiple ads and yes I know there is a free trial to remove ads and more but I’m not paying for that so you just have to deal with it. For my goal for the next time I will be working on this which will be on 4/18/24 I want to learn some of the letters as well as draw them because I’ve been learning the words not the letters.

During spring break I went to Big Bear. When I was there my family was there along with my parent’s friends. While we were in big bear we went snow boarding and only the kids in the family went and it was all of our first times. So when we got there it was very cold but I did not bring anything. Fortunately my parent’s friends had a comfy jacket and gloves so I was good. Once we got all of our jackets and gloves on we went to go get our snow boards and boots. So once we were all done with getting prepared we could finally learn how to snow board because we had to get a teacher to help us learn. So once we were all finally done with all of that we were on our own so I went with my friend Gavin and I looked at the mountain and it was huge but we were only going to the middle of it not the top so we went to the top with a ski lift. And I went down and I was going fast a bit too fast for my liking but I forgot too mention the teacher didn’t mention how to stop so I was nearing the end so I put my hand on the snow and crouched and it worked so I was satisfied but we went on the ski lift again. But when Gavin was putting his air pods in he dropped his glove out off the ski lift. So once we got off he zoomed off. He got it and we were relived.

Hello my name is Derek and at my school I am doing the 20 percent project. For the project I am learning Japanese as much words as I can. Today on April 5th was my first day learning. For my learning I installed the duolingo app and I learned the following words in Japanese teacher, student, people one through eight, cool, lawyer, kind, doctor, and, water, rice, and green tea. There were a couple struggles likes adds and remembering the japenese grammar for example the word “it’s” goes at the end of the sentence and de su also known as its means he’s she’s and its and when speaking in japenese there is no word “a” so there are something you have to remember when learning and speaking in japenese which is a lot to remember. For the future I hope to learn more words in Japanese see you next week.

If I could invite three people to dinner I would invite Abel Batman, and Jaden. I would invite Abel (my friend) because he’s very silly and funny also goofy and he’s cool to be around. I would invite Batman (a super hero) because he is my idol he’s someone to lookup to because he’s Batman. And finally I would invite Jayden (also my friend) because like Abel Jaden is very silly and funny but Jayden likes Mac and cheese. Overall these people are very silly and funny to have dinner with.

If I were to have any job in the world I would be Batman. I would be Batman because first of all I’m Bruce Wayne so I’m a billionaire and I do not need money. Another reason why being Batman would be the best job is because you get to save Gotham city from all evil and be recognized from it. Lastly another reason why being Batman is the best job is because you have allot of money and people give you money for saving them or recognize you and with money you can get a lot of chipotle burritos and their yummy. Being Batman is the best job.

If I was Batman I would first stop what ever the Joker and the Riddler are up too. After that I would chill for a bit and watch SpongeBob. Next, I would purchase Wienerschnitzel because I like their chili cheese fries. Also I’m Bruce Wayne and I’m a billionaire and my net wort is around 9.2 billion. Finally, I would force Chris to become Robin. After, that we would stop Jokers evil plan and save the city.

When I woke up I looked around and I saw the after math of the plane wreckage some people were already trying t make boats house etc with the palm trees. others were still sleeping I asked what I should be doing so that I could try and help but they were to focused so for the next couple of days I woke up and drank the coconuts. After a couple of months we made shelter and eventually made a boat that wasn’t that good but okay so we sent some people over to a other island and i went with them and found land with people we were saved.

If I was invisible for twenty four hours first I would rewrite laws so anyone’s who’s invisible can do anything so that I could do anything. Next I would rob the ice cream truck and steal all their SpongeBob popsicles and their sonic popsicles because they’re yummy. Next I would steal back my Wii that Abel took from my house. After that I would go to GameStop and steal a GameCube a copy of sonic hero’s, and take sonic colors, sonic and the black knight, sonic and the secret rings, sonic boom rise of lyric and a Wii U because I’m a sonic fan. Then after that I would eat the sonic popsicles. After that I would find the person who makes the Orange County fair curly fries and make him give me the recipe. Finally I would take Abel’s cat and make him cat Batman and make him protect the city from the joker.

“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light.” This is a really impactful quote. I like this quote because when times seem dark and grim there is always hope and happiness and you can choose to be hopeful or happy. I also like it because it reminds me of the story Pandora’s box where all evil things came out the box but there was hope at the bottom of the box. A final reason why I like this quote is because when you get angry you can calm yourself down by remembering your choosing to be angry and you can choose to be happy. This is why I like this quote.
