Worst Job in the Middle Age

Watching the video on the worst jobs in history, my idea of the worst job would definitely be the fuller. A fuller is the person who takes the wool from sheep and go from household to household receiving their urine. The urine makes the cloth soft and brings the wool together. You would have to stop on the wool covered in urine for 7 to 8 hours at a time. When you are done stomping on the urine filled wool, the cloth is all brought together and then it is distributed to make clothes for knights and other fighters. I consider this the worse job because it involves you stepping in someone else's pee for 7-8 hours  every day. Pee smells so bad too! I could probably throw up if I ever had to do this job, just thinking about it makes me sick.  I am so glad that I was not alive during the Middle Ages so I don't have to stomp on pee as my job.

History of My Freshman Year

This year, Meredith became a freshman at the John Carroll School. Meredith started school at the end of August, playing junior varsity soccer. For the first quarter, Meredith got average grades; she didn’t expect some of her classes to be as hard as they actually were. She decided that she was going to work harder in school and sports. Closer to the end of the soccer season, Meredith got moved up to Varsity soccer, and received a varsity letter for it. She also picked up her grades receiving Second Honors for the second quarter and the Improvement Award.  Meredith enjoyed a really successful soccer season as a freshman, with her team making the semi-finals against Archbishop Spalding in the last minute.

As winter came around, Meredith played Varsity Indoor Soccer with a lot of her friends from the regular soccer season. Indoor soccer was much more challenging for her, but she was able to become a better player with her foot skills because of it. Her soccer team ended up making it to the championship game against Maryvale at the DuBurn’s stadium in Baltimore. The game was tough, and her team was not able to push through. They unfortunately lost in the championship game. As for academics in the winter, Meredith really picked up her grades. She again received Second Honors in the third quarter. Meredith put equal time into sports and athletics; therefore she was successful at both in this season.

As the spring comes around, Meredith was very excited to start the lacrosse season, since it is her favorite sport. She was lucky enough to be one of the three freshmen that made varsity lacrosse at John Carroll, which is known for their outstanding lacrosse team. After a lot of team drama and bad things happening towards her team, they were still able to come together and play great lacrosse. They ranked fourth place in their conference before playoffs, which landed them a first round bye. In the quarter finals, they played against Notre Dame Prep, a very prestigious school for their lacrosse team. They had beaten them earlier in the regular season, but this was where it really mattered. After an hour of tough lacrosse, every girl on the field giving it there all, they came out unsuccessful and lost the game by one in the last minutes. The team was devastated, but they managed to play so well even in the worst circumstances. As for academics in the fourth quarter, Meredith is working hard for First Honors, which she is very close to receiving.

Meredith has met so many new people on the fields and just in school that she will serve long lasting friendships with. She had the ability to play varsity sports, which gave her the ability to meet upperclassmen and have amazing coaches to make her better along the way. She will never forget her freshman year, but she hopes for even more success to come her way she gets older.

Don't Tell The Aliens We're Here, Stephen Hawking Says; They Might Not Be Friendly Response

I don't think that we should go out into space searching for aliens, just like what Stephen Hawking says. It is far too dangerous to try to come in contact with aliens. We don't know what they are like, they could be very powerful and be able to kill our astronauts, and then possibly take over the Earth. I am not saying this will definitely be the outcome of coming in contact with aliens, but it could be. We have to be cautious of how powerful they could actually be. This is why I don't think we should go around searching for aliens, we don't know who they are and what they have the ability to do.
