Me & Dylan's Ideas For Tiger Woods Story

The introduction of our E! True Hollywood Story is the general story of Tiger's affair, the list of girls he has cheated with, background behind Tiger's relationship with those woman, etc. Next, we will bring up the effect of his actions, such as Elin's response to her husband's actions, Tiger's hurt image and legacy, Tiger speaking out, interviews of fellow golfers, and Tiger taking a break from golf to sort-out his life. Dylan and I have a creative idea of creating a video production movie of us interview people on behalf of the scandal: friends, teachers, students, etc. Ideas of questions we have for the interviews go as follows:
What is your knowledge on the Tiger Woods incident?
What are your feelings towards the scandal?
What do you think Tiger's punishment should be, or should he receive one?
Do you think Tiger obtains the mental strength to bounce back into golfing?
Will this large scandal harm his legacy?
Ask a girl: If you were Elin, what actions would you take against your husband?
Ask several people: As a fan, have you lost respect for Tiger Woods?

This scandal not only harms Tiger's golfing and family life, but the impact he had among his fans and America overall is very negative.

If you and your friends rented a limo for 24 hours, where would you go? What would you do?

If me and my friends rented a limo for 24 hours, we would travel all around NYC, traveling through Times Square, Manhattan etc. New York City is a capacious city to fit a couple of high school kids looking to have fun. Examples of things I would do in the city would be visiting Madison Square Garden, eating from Dylan's Candy Bar, walking through Central Park, or stopping by the Empire State building. There is a variety of activities to do in NYC, which is why it serves as a great place to rent a limo and drive anywhere.

Pearl's Father

I believe the Pearl's father is Dimmesdale because whenever he is around Hester and her child, he is constantly nervous. When the four men come to approach Hester and Pearl, Dimmesdale is the only one who defended them and persuaded the other men to not separate the two people. A colossal hint of Dimmesdale's relation to Pearl is when Pearl put his hand upon her cheek; Pearl usually rejects many people, but is very accepting of the minister. The irony of the situation is that the minister is the fellow sinner, which could create a huge outrage in the community. Also, Hester is most likely so defensive on the identity of the father because if the secret were to become known it would be a huge deal.

Describe Your Perfect Vacation

My perfect vacation would be a week-long trip to Maui, Hawaii. At age 10 my parents took me and my brothers to Maui for Spring Break, still being the best vacation I've ever went on till this day. I have been on three of Hawaii's islands, but I believe Maui is the most beautiful and diverse of the three. The scintillating sun creates constant warm weather, the waves are large, the magnificent marine life is all around, and the people are very friendly. Maui can also be considered a very relaxing getaway because tourists can travel to the incredible resorts and beaches. In my opinion, Maui is the one of the greatest spots for a vacation on the planet due to its beautiful landscape, weather, and intriguing wildlife.

If I were the teacher I would...

If I were the teacher, I would treat my students the way I wanted to be treated when I went to school. For example, I would let my students redo only quizzes because it would boost their grade and display to them their knowledge of the material. The significance of letting a student redo a quiz for the potential amount of points is to get them to understand what they're getting wrong; it is imperative that students absorb each bit of knowledge they can before a test. Also, there would be few days my students take notes because I would be a more active learning teacher, to keep the interest of my students. There may be certain days where I am tired and let my students have the period for study hall or long term projects in my class, but on the days we do work it will be efficient.

A person who inspires me is _________ because....

A person who inspires me is Diego Forlan because he committed to becoming a professional soccer for his family. Forlan plays soccer in Spain for Atletico Madrid and his home country Uruguay, whom he led to the semi-finals of the World Cup against the Netherlands. While also being an incredible goal scorer and overall player, Forlan has a bigger meaning behind his love for the game. When Forlan was 11 years old, his older sister was paralyzed for life from a deadly car crash. From that point on, Forlan swore that his future success in soccer would be able to pay his sisters medical bills and living costs for the rest of her life. As he promised, Diego Forlan worked hard throughout his childhood to eventually become one of the best players in the game today. While people view Forlan as just an incredible soccer player, they are not aware of the benign acts he goes through for his family.

People think I am too _________ because.....

People think I am too nonchalant because I am usually unamused by things that amuse people I am around. For example, when people get in trouble or are nervous I usually feel as if the situation isn't that big of a deal when in retrospect it most likely is. Under pressure situations, like taking a penalty kick in overtime, I do not get nervous with the game on the line and am perfectly calm when risking the game for my team. When talking to or meeting new people, I show and obtain no nervous feelings and always remain unemotional.

What do you like or not like about halloween?

Halloween is a great holiday that ends the month of October in a great attitude among society. I like that during halloween, everyone wears what they would not normally wear and dresses up for comedy, a good costume, or idolizing one of their role models. However, I do not like a maverick person who decides not to dress up for halloween because it kills the mood of the holiday to be with them. I also do not like how Halloween is placed on the last day of October because the weather outside is usually very cold and undesirable to walk around in. Apart from negative people and weather issues, Halloween is a great holiday for all people to have a good time in their own society and dress up as whatever they want to be for the day.

When I Am Sad, I...

When I am sad, I turn to people that I know can make my life better by making me feel happy. If I do not do that, then I do an activity that will bring me joy, such as soccer, watching television, etc. Usually when I am sad I do not let that sadness stick on me, I attempt to rid of the emotions as fast as possible so that my life will not be inflicted. An example of one time I was depressed was after my first cat died, but a month after my family and I got a new cat that we all love equally as much. By being around something that makes me feel elated, it will most likely take my depression away.

If you could invent something new, what would it be?

If I were to invent something new, it would be levitational shoes. Instead of the future idea of a jet-pack, where a whole contraption must be attached to your body, levitational shoes would only be worn on a person's feet and work just the same as a jet-pack. When technology becomes more advanced in the future, the idea of levitational shoes is not an irrational idea because they would serve as a means of transportation. If a person in the city is tired from a long day at work and does not wish to walk numerous blocks to their destination, levitational shoes will satiate their body by helping them get to where they need to go faster and with less effort. If levitational shoes were invented correctly and safely, they would become a world-wide phenomenon.

My biggest pet peeve...

My biggest pet peeve is being stuck behind a person or group of people that walk too slow, mainly in the halls of school. People who walk too slow do not even notice they are causing traffic in the hallway and are also holding people up from getting to class on time. Since I walk faster than most people, slow walkers really bother me because I have to wait to get to where I need to go. Although it seems like a nominal part of the school day, it is a colossal disturbance for me. Types of people who walk slow are typically groups of girls walking together or freshman who do not consider the people behind them.

I wish I could...

I wish I could become famous for being a professional soccer player in Europe. Soccer has been my passion and hobby since I was six years old, making a successful career out of soccer would be my dream job. Not only is it a high paying job in Europe, but the recognition you would receive all over the globe would extends to colossal amounts. By becoming a widely-known professional soccer player, such as Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi who are impeccable athletes, I would be living my dream life.

Your biggest lesson in life came from...

My biggest lesson in life has came from many different events in my life and the lesson is after every door closes, another one opens. This phrase basically explains that after something ends in your life or goes away, another positive thing is there for you to take. For example, when my cat died when I was little there was always an opportunity to get another pet that I could love equally as much. After I lost a championship travel soccer game, I knew that there was always going to be more soccer in my life and big games just like the one I had lost. One last example is an ending to a relationship; even though a person may be sad, there are always more people in a the world and a vast number of chances for happiness. This lesson has taught and will teach me to stay strong after a negative incident in my life because there is always another positive one to come.

One food I could never give up is...

One food I could never give up is a plate of grilled salmon from a good seafood restaurant. Out of all the foods, including steak, chicken, pasta, etc., my favorite area is seafood. I have been eating salmon since I was young and find it to be very tasteful and healthy. After devouring a plate of grilled salmon, I develop a sanguine personality and proceed to have a great rest of the day. Both of my parents make a great homemade salmon dish, which is most likely why I am such a big fan of it today.

This year I am going to...

This year I am going to work the hardest and most efficient out of all four years of my high school career. In junior year I am using my permit until April 11th when I can receive my license and also are taking the SAT's, which has a tremendous effect on which colleges will want me at their school. Pascack Hills offers a manifold amount of opportunities for succeed this year and I intend to use them for my own academic achievements this year.
