blog assignment#23/Teen/Kid feature

Here are some features.

The first one is on a teen who went to Africa.
“(Theodore) Roosevelt said, ‘Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.’ Our antagonist wrestles with us, sharpening our strength and nerve; in essence, hardship only makes us stronger. You must be willing to stick your neck out, to take risks, to accomplish great things.”

Age: 18
School: Home schooled
Parents: Bill and Anne Dugas

FAVORITES:
Book: “Without Remorse” by Tom Clancy
Music: Iron Maiden
Movie: “Gran Torino” or anything with John Wayne.
TV show: “NCIS”
Hangout: “Bayous, mountain peaks, lakes, valleys, canyons, caves ... anywhere in nature.”

Role model: Theodore Roosevelt
Extra: Dugas is the winner of the General Philemon Thomas Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution Eagle Scout scholarship competition. He also placed first in the state competition, and his entry will be submitted for the national competition. As a hobby, Dugas is a taxidermist, with a personal collection which includes rare squirrels. He also does taxidermy work for his friends.
This sounded delicous to me and was easy to read.


The second is Jake Long.  Long, a sophomore, was the winner of the High School 3-Point Contest held in late January at Catholic High. He won out over 15 other area shooters, making 21 total 3-point shots in the third and final round to win. Look for Long in the State 3-Point Contest at the Louisiana High School Basketball Coaches Association All Star Game in March during the statewide high school basketball championship games. Long is also a member of his school’s Beta Club.He sounded intersting so this is what I wrote about. It was easy to read also.




The third is Niya Robinson. Robinson is the vice president of the junior class at Zachary High School. She is the photographer for Interact Club and is the section leader for her school choir's altos. She is also a member of  new Providence Baptist Church in Zachary. She is 16 and her parents names are warren and Norma Robinson. this sounded cool so I checked it out. It was very easy to read.
