Nicholas’ Soccer Blog

A professional soccer player, but let’s face it that dream probably won’t come true (I’m not trying to be negative or any thing but really, not many people become professional soccer players). If I was to become a pro I would have to practice a ton every day so I would get better and better.

My alternative job choice would be an athletes “Agent” because you would get to ravel everywhere and meet all the players that play the game at a professional level. Also agents usually become friends with their clients so I would probably be friends with an insanely awesome athlete.

My third choice would have to be a lawyer (or attorney as the Americans say it). The reason is I just love to argue. I have always had a problem with talking back to my dad and I will argue something even if I know I’m wrong just to make the other person think I’m right. Sounds kind of weird but not to me. One of the downsides about being a lawyer is if you are trying to defend someone who you know is guilty, that would probably make me think I am a criminal as well. So I would like to be the type of lawyer that sues people!

By the way I got the idea for this post from Chelsea’s post

                     Before and After

The Difference blogging has made to my life at school… Is amazing. I can’t even explain how much more interesting it is to blog than to do normal work. Blogging also pushes me to do better, quality work because I know that many people read my posts, or at least I hope so

Also, instead of just meeting the people in my classroom during school hours I also meet kids from all over the world (just look at my clustr map). Actually, one of my goals in blogging is to connect with a wide variety of kids. The reason is I am interested in their cultures and how school is in different places.

As well as meeting new people blogging has also changed my attitude towards learning. What I mean is last year if I was given an assignment to write on paper and hand in to my teacher, my thoughts would be… oh, what a drag. But if I am given a blogging assignment to show everyone who visits my blog, my thoughts would be great, now I can share my learning with others.

Not only has blogging changed my life at school but it has also changed my life in general, for example- before I started blogging if I got back from a vacation I definitely would not have written about it. Now if I come back from a vacation I find it necessary to write a post about it. When I first ask myself why?… my answer is because I have to. When I think again I realize it is because I have readers now and I have to keep them interested. Also because I love blogging.

The reason I wrote this post is because of a post Sue Waters wrote on her blog. Check it out by clicking here.
