Cops on ATVs In Winnetka

The other day, I was driving to golf practice in Winnetka and I saw an ATV coming toward me on the other side of the road. As it got closer, I noticed that the front of it said Police. I was in the car with my brother and as the cop went by, we looked at each other and said, "Cops on ATVs in Winnetka? No way!" We could not believe what we just saw. Not only are there cops on ATVs in Winnetka, but there are also cops on motorcycles. You normally only see cops on motorcycles in warm climates in places like California or Florida. You would never expect them to be in Winnetka. But Police on ATVs, I have never ever seen that before anywhere. It is pretty cool to have cops on ATVs but it just seems a little bit crazy. What do you think about the idea of having cops on ATVs in Winnetka?

Hockey Night In Canada!

I am currently in Canada (for hockey) at the Stoney Creek University Showcase, and it is a little scary. As soon as I stepped into the rink I saw what seemed like a million college coaches all looking for the perfect player, and even though I am still a junior, college, for a hockey player starts junior year. Recruiting starts now so I know that this tournament is extremely important. I have no idea what I want to do with my life but what I do know is that I want to play Division I hockey. So far we have won all of our games and the coaches keep showing up hopefully to watch me, and help me achieve my dream. So how do I figure out what I want to do?

September 11, 2001

I know this that I am a couple days late in posting about 9/11 but I thought I would share my story with you all. On the morning of September 11, 2001, I remember walking into my parents room after I woke up to see what was going on. My mom said that a plane had crashed into one of the World Trade Centers in New York City. The news was on and a news reporter was reporting about the first plane that had crashed. As they showed the building with the plane in it, I saw a second plane take a hard left hand turn into the second building. My mom screamed and at this point we knew that this was no accident. I eventually went to school and by this time, pretty much everyone in my 4th grade class knew that two planes hit the World Trade Centers. My teachers wife kept calling our classroom to keep us updated on what was happening with the latest news throughout the day because we couldn't watch the news in class. One time she called and when Mr. Kleckner picked up the phone, his wife told him that both towers had fallen. This was just a terrible thing that happened and we talked about it pretty much the entire day. September 11, 2001 was a very sad day for everyone in the United States. This something that I will never forget for the rest of my life and I hope you enjoyed reading about my story of September 11th.

The video is about September 11th and at the beginning there is a black screen and you will hear audio. The video will eventually appear.

Starbucks Coffee Daily!

Many people walk into school each and every morning with the same drink from Starbucks. Do you view people differently if they come to school each morning with Starbucks in their hands? Starbucks is not exactly cheap and having it every day before school can be very costly. On average, a grande drink from Starbucks in around $4. If you have it everyday, 180 school days, you are spending around $720 on Starbucks coffee for the entire year. That is a huge amount of money just for Starbucks. If you get Venti sizes, the cost will go up even more. So tell me, how do you view people who walk into school every morning with Starbucks in their hands?
