I'm Rachelle Anne Cabral. I was born in the Philippine's with my family of four. My mothers name is also Rachelle, my fathers name is Simon, and I have one brother. My brothers name is Robert. I was born in 1985, and my brother a year after me. My father died when I was 14 years old. My father was my best friend. He was the one who thought me how to shoot. After my father died, it was hard for my family to make ends meet. I had to forget about archery and start working. I worked at a market with brother while my mother worked at a different market. I worked for a couple years, and finally my family had luck on their side. My great grandpa had passed away and we inherited his money. He was a rich old man! My mom told me that I should take up archery again, I told her that my dream was to be a professional archer. My mother and father always told me to follow my dreams.
A couple years later I went off to collage. I was still doing archery. I was requited by this woman names Marie. She said that she could teach me great things. To this day she is still my coach and I thank, and owe her a lot. I had the chance to go the Olympics because of her. My coach and I were really excited to be able to travel to Beijing to compete against different Counties best competitors. I did not win a gold, silver, or bronze medal, but I got 4th. My coach was extremely proud of me, I was extremely proud of me. The other archers were amazing, I did not bother me that I didn't win, I was grateful to be in Beijing. This year in 2012 going to London will be exciting! Hopefully I will do better than 4th! Watch out London, here I come!

I think that making a video is a lot easier than taking a test. I'm not good at taking tests, so making a video really let me understand the chapter easier. I also think using www.goanimate.com was easy to use and it was kinda fun to play with. The only thing that kinda sucked was the video couldn't be longer than 2 min.

If I was Xiaochun I don't really know how I would handle the situation. I think that Xiaochun handled his situation pretty good. He made the right decision to stay and keep learning. If you love something so much you shouldn't let it go, because you might not ever get the chance ever again. If I were Xiaochun, I think I would stay and keep playing, but  I wouldn't want my family to leave, I would have to have my family there with me.

The decision Xiaochun made was difficult, but there were a lot of pros to it. Some of the pros were that he was able to do what he loved, and that he got to preform in front of a lot of people. Whenever theres pros theres cons. Some cons were that his dad didn't have a job so he really couldn't pay for a really good teacher, and the dad also couldn't pay for a nice house.

In the end Xiaochun made the right decision, stay and keep playing.

In Romeo and Juliet a fight accrued in act one scene one. A fellow swung his sword and the rule is, a force in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by another force. When the sword was swung it did not stop until it hit another object, making it stop because another force was acted upon. This rule in Physics can also be ralted to Scial Studies. Water will run down stream until it hits land or a dam to make it stop. It also relates to people. People would migrate to a cost where water was located, so people would stay in motion until another force (water) is acted upon the people. Physics can be found in everyday life, weather is be Social Studies, English, or just swinging on a swing.
