Hacking Competition

Most people think that hacking is bad, in some cases it is bad. Bad hackers are called crackers. Those kind of hackers hack into stores, banks, etc, and take money clothes, etc from that site. Some sites or programs hires hackers to try to break into their systems to see if they have strong firewalls and codes.
There is a new game or competition about hacking. Our school's tech classes are competing in it. Its all about breaking and solving codes, looking for certain sequences in numbers and more. Its actually  super fun! The name is Toaster Wars, I am pretty sure we need to get a robot into outer space, but I dont really know. The winners are based on points and the winners get 4,000 dollars! Its so cool!

Cheeseballs

I have discovered the best food in the whole world:
Cheeseballs.
They combine the great tasting food that is cheese into like bite size circular shapes that make your day the happiest it can be.
Last week I turned thirteen. On that magical day I was wondering through Safeway looking for some snacks for the weekend. I saw them and needed them. Later that weekend when I was playing some games with friends, we used the cheese balls. We played this game where you had to throw the cheese balls up and catch them in your mouth and like the first one to get it to 10 won. Or we set up cups on a window cill and the first person to get 5 or 10 cheese balls in the cup won. They are so fun and just the perfect treat.

What has this world become?

You go to a movie, you get shot.
You go to school, you get shot.
You run a marathon, you get bombed.
What has this world become?
This isn't right. People shouldn't randomly get bombed. People died and others got injured. The irony of it all was the topic of the Boston Marathon was support for all the children from Connecticut. So people were running for the deaths of the children, but ended up running for their own lives. Its just not right. #prayforboston.

Happy To Be Back

After weeks of traveling, I am finally home. On March 26, my mom and I flew 9 hours from Kauai to New York. It took FOREVER! After a couple days in New York we flew to Minnesota for some doctors appointments. We spent a week in Minnesota. On the last day I visited my cousins. It was so nice to see family and just have fun! I miss New York and Minnesota but I am so happy to be on Kauai.

Tall-ness

In New York, I got to see some of my cousins that I have never met, or that I haven't seen in a while. I saw 2 of them. Joe and Noah. Joe is 17 and is repeating his junior year at Hill school. He is 6,7 and is crazy about basketball. He is repeating his junior year because he wants to get recruited by the NBA. Noah is 26 and is a CEO of a non-profit organization to help basketball players from Senegal to get scholarships to play in the US. Noah is also a basketball player and is 6,9. My cousins amaze me, they are SUPER tall but both love the same thing. They are like younger and older versions of each other. Its so amazing to see family.
