GATE Student Journal

This quarter I want to get all my math worksheets done and all the work in class done. My personal goal is to get over twenty goals in soccer this year, I am up to

15 this year and I just have five more. Hopefully I will become a soccer player when I grow up because I love soccer. If I were to play professional soccer

maybe I could start by being a very talented kid on my high school team and hopefully get a scholarship to a very good school. I really want to go to Cal

Berkeley, which actually has a really good soccer program. If I didn’t get to play soccer I would be an engineer or an architect. I like to build things such as legos. I like the Lego sets that have motors. These are the requirements of being these things. First of all you have to be really good at math and science. Second of all you have to figure out where to put the structure. Third you have to figure out

how much area of a certain place are you going to use. This is what I want to do to successfully get through life.

Weather ReportHi folks, today I'm talking about two cities, Tucson and Detroit. First let's go towards Canada at a place called Detroit ,Michigan. Today in Detroit the temperature at it's highest is about 47 degrees and at it's lowest is 30 degrees, I have to say I would love to be in weather like that right now. Tomorrow in Detroit the temperatures at it's highest is about 50 degrees and at it's lowest at an estimate is about 45 degrees. Perfect time to go outside right! Oh couldn't be better. Now on Wednesday for Detroit, Michigan the temperature at it's highest is 66 and it's lowest is 40. Oh can these temperatures get any better or what. Just to see if they do get worse or not who wants to see what the temperature is going to be on Thursday. Well, I do so, the temperature on Thursday at it's highest is ... curious right, 49 and at it's lowest is 31.

Weather reportWe were right everyone it doesn't get any worse at all. Now lets go

to Tucson, Arizona, home of the wildcats. The highest temperature in Tucson, Arizona is 79 and it's lowest today is 47 degrees. It's pretty hot in Tucson today! Tomorrow in Tucson the temperature at it's highest is 85 and at it's lowest is 49, man it is so hot! I think I'm going to get nosebleeds. On Wednesday, folks the temperature is 88 at it's highest, oh so hot, and 52 at it's lowest. On Thursday, the temperature is 87 at it's highest and 57 at it's lowest. It got lower on high temperature but it is still super hot people. Friday and Saturday's highest are 89 and 91, 91! oh I must be losing my mind. Now let's look at the current surface radar, the surface radar says about six states will be affected by cold or warm fronts. The five states are Louisiana, warm front, a cold front in California, a warm front in Montana, a warm front in Idaho, and a warm front in Wyoming. There is a stationary front in Nebraska.

Introducing my GATE TeacherMy G.A.T.E teacher is Mr. Lewis. I have had some great experiences like no homework, lots of fun and it has made me smarter.

G.A.T.E. Student Portfolio Why is GATE important to you?

It makes me smarter and it is also a great privilege to be in G.A.T.E. People think you’re a nerd if you go to G.A.T.E but you’re really not you’re a smarter kid.
