There are a lot of teachers at Bella Romero. They do their job and help students and really care about the students. Miss Putters is an example of a great teacher at Bella Romero, a teacher who wants to help students graduate high school.

Miss putters is a funny, creative 4th grade teacher that helps her students understand what they are learning about. She loves Harry Potter and her favorite color is purple and she loves baseball. She loves her job and when she was in high school there were some teachers that inspired her to be a Teacher. She lived in Georgia before living in Colorado..

Miss putters is a fun teacher and she is ready for the future. Bella has helped their students by having technology in there school. Miss Putters really helps out with her students' education. She is interested in teaching her students the best. Her favorite part of the school day is in the morning,were they get to learn math and literacy so they work really work hard

Robotics is the branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science that deals with the design, construction, and operation of robots. In other words, it is a way to build robots that can act like a actual living thing.

Robotics are a fun way for students to experience team work and work through difficult situations with each other. In robotics at Bella Romero we battle the robots that the teams personally build and program. Then the teachers bring some type of treat and the robots battle for the treats. It's a fun day full of activities.

Miss Vojik, a 7th grade teacher, invented robotics here at Bella Romero. It all started four years ago in the after school program. Mr. Cooney asked her to create a class about building robots. Not a lot of schools in the district have this class. Robotics gives students a chance to express their creativity by building robots. That is what makes them enjoy the class. About 50% of 7th and 8th graders chose robotics as their elective this year.

The battle is the most exciting part of robotics. There are rules that each robot has to follow, like each robot has to have 3 motors and be 12 inches tall. To win a battle, one robot has to make another robot to where it can't function anymore. So for example if one robot can't move at all and the other robot is still fighting, the fighting robot wins. The first few weeks of the semester all they do is build and battle. The the last few weeks there will be the biggest battle. There will be an obstacle that each robot has to go through while battling other robots.

So, it's pretty cool to have the students acting and learning like real engineers. After the battles they talk about what they learned through the whole semester. Most of the students dreams went toward becoming an engineer ever since that class became a part of Bella Romero.

Robots are battling at romero!

The class of 2025 is putting on a food drive at our K-3 Campus. Mrs. Gale, a teacher at the k-3 campus gave us some details about their work so far.

"The food drive is going on from November 3,2014- November 25,2014" Students come to school with some canned food items like peas,carrots, potatoes,and green beans. The class of 2025 collects these wonderful donations of canned food items. Donating to the food drive is a very generous thing to do.

"The food would be donated to the Weld County Food Bank," said Mrs. Gale. I think it would be a splendid idea to give the food to the Weld County Food Bank(WCFB). Canned food was taken to Mrs. Hegg, a 2025 teacher from the K-3 campus, and she is delivering it to the Weld County Food Bank.

It is going to be a spectacular food drive if every student brings caned food and the class of 2025 is having a competition to see which class can get the most canned food items in to their teachers. Think about how much fun the food drive can be while we do something nice for other people in Greeley at the same time. It is always nice to help others, especially around the holidays!

Class of 2025 Makes a Difference!

By Valeria Casillas, Class of 2020

We have a lot of superstar teachers here at Bella Romero Academy. This month we would like to recognize Mrs. Hegg, a 2025 teacher,for this month's teacher spotlight.

She graduated in 2008 and has gone to 2 colleges, CSU and The University of Colorado. Her favorite hobbies to do are anything that involves being outside. Her favorite foods are sweet potatoes and candy. She was born in a small town in New Mexico, but she was raised in Crested Butte, Colorado.

Teaching preschool and being with kids has inspired her to become a teacher. Mrs. Hegg's favorite subject she teaches is science, She likes this because they get to do experiments and projects. Her favorite memory is when she got married and Ms. Mattivi was her reverend.

Mrs. Hegg's mom is her personal hero because she sacrificed things for her when she was little. She likes Bella Romero because she feels like she has another family here and she loves all the kids and how they know what year they are going to graduate.

Mrs. Hegg is an awesome teacher. These second grade students are lucky to have teacher like this. There are a lot of other teachers out here at Bella Romero that are awesome too!

Taylor Swift's new album has surprised everyone. The former country singer has gone full pop with this album. She has released two music videos for her album so far. The former country singer's album has peaked to number one in many charts.

1989 pulled in 12 million dollars on its first week on the market. The album was released on Oct. 27, 2014. The album was named after the year T-Swift was born. The star spent much time promoting this album and the hard work payed off. Taylor even invited some fans to her house to listen to the album before everyone else.

1989 has had its second week at number 1 since its release. "I think it's fantastic. It's one of those albums you can put on and play the whole thing," says Miss Mattivi, 7th grade Language Arts and World History teacher. While most people are judging how most of her songs are about either an ex or an enemy, other people agree with Miss Mattivi. The album has had many positive responses but now and then there are a few hate comments. "I make everyone who drives with me listen to the album." Miss Mattivi said. We're pretty sure some die hard Swifties do this also.

One of her best songs has to be Blank Space. This song has some influence from Lorde, since the beats sound the same. You can't blame her, though, Lorde is one of her best friends. "Bad blood" is directed towards Katy Perry since they've had a few small arguments as Katy stole Swift's dancers before her last tour. That proves there is some bad blood between them. While Katy hasn't replied, her ex Harry Styles (aka the guy half the songs are written about) has replied. Styles was asked "This Taylor Swift set mate, she's written some songs about you - it seems like. Does that feel odd when people write songs about you, or, are you okay with that?" Harry replied" We write from personal experience, and I think everyone does, so it would be hypocritical of us to be like, 'Oh you can’t write about us,' And she's really good, so they’re good songs, " adding, "I’m really lucky in that sense."

All in all I believe this has been her best album ever. With its success so far, I'm sure she'll sell many more. This album will be in the #1 charts for a very long time. Congrats to Taylor for making a best selling album.

Album Review: Taylor Swift

1989

By Allison Gonzalez, Class of 2020

At Bella Romero all students are stars that shine brightly but some students show that they are really living the Family Values.

We talked to student spotlight Jocelyn P. in the class of 2022 at Bella Romero campus to ask her questions. We asked her what characteristics that she thinks a Student Spotlight should have. She said,"They should own their behavior," and we agree. Also we asked her 5th grade teacher Ms. Hendrickson how she is a good student she answered, "Jocelyn works hard and she never misses a day of school. Therefore she a good model of a Student Spotlight."

We also asked Jocelyn if she had inspiration to be a good student she said that her mom really inspires her by telling her that she is doing a good job in school. Also she motivates her classmates by telling them that they are smart enough and that they can do it. She is trying to be a good leader doing her very best in school.

Some students are easily distracted, Jocelyn's solution to not get distracted easily is to ignore the person distracting her. Ms. Hendrickson says,"She ignores distraction." Jocelyn uses knowledge that she has learned throughout the years and the knowledge she is learning to advance in school.

As you can see, Jocelyn really does live the Family Values.

The first day that Ebola came to the U.S it was chaotic. It had people running to buy gloves and masks so they didn't get infected. The Ebola outbreak lasted for about a month in the U.S. The last person was cured about a week ago. And the nurse was cured about 3 weeks ago. The biggest controversy is about a girl in the us that went out of her restriction to live a normal life.

A doctor that was a big deal in New York was released from the hospital because he was cured from Ebola. In the article it says that the doctor (Dr.Craig Spenser) was released as he gave cheers and hugs. The doctor got the deadly disease from helping Ebola patients in West Africa.

The second most recent case was the one nurse infected. The nurse's name was Amber Joy Vinson. The nurse was infected when treating a patient with Ebola. She was in Texas when she was officially diagnosed with the disease. She was held at Emory, University Hospital for a maximum of 2 weeks and 2 days and was finally cured.

Imagine not having a disease but being quarantined anyway. Well an official citizen of Texas had talked to an Ebola patient so the National Health Organization tested her for Ebola. She came back negative. The NHO still thought she had it so she was quarantined to her house. She thought that since she didn't have the disease that she could leave her quarantine. Still to this day people are debating if she should have been quarantined to another place.

"Party!" As Ebola leaves the U.S people are smiling with joy. Until just recently one person was diagnosed with this sickness. I believe that U.S has this case under control.

There are many videos and pictures that go viral every day. Did you ever see the meme Grumpy Cat or the video "What Does the Fox Say"? This Video was so popular that everyone on the internet had heard of it in just a few days. Have you ever wanted to be a internet sensation? Have you ever wondered how to become a internet sensation? Lets find out!

Many people watch videos or look a pictures of internet sensations and wonder how they could also become an internet sensation. To become a internet sensation you have to be what the people want. The people want things that are funny, show talent, an interesting story, and even baby animals. These are some of the thing that people like to watch. If you post a video or a picture of one of these things and it catches on, it could be big. People have to share the video or the picture in order to get you one step closer to becoming a internet sensation because then more people can see it.

There are many popular sites where a post can gain popularity. For example, people might post to Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Vine, or YouTube. If you're lucky, your video will spread all over. Most sensations start on one of those sites. These sites have so many people on them that word gets around fast.

It is crazy how it seems like everyone has heard of "A Potato Flew Around My Room" or "Old Gregg". Sometimes it is hard to explain why, but that's what being an internet sensation is all about.

The holiday Thanksgiving, also called Turkey Day, is right around the corner. There is more than just the turkey to be thankful for. There is a whole history, which all started in the late 1800s.

Thanksgiving is a time for family to call everyone in the family for a reunion. Thanksgiving is also a time where family eats all day and has a great time together. Families also like to watch Thursday night football and eat pie, turkey, and more. There are many traditions that different families have during this holiday.

Thanksgiving was first celebrated as a feast after a harsh winter. It was first just a big meal to celebrate the harvest in the early 1800's and after that they kept doing it and it always stuck like a holiday. When president Abraham Lincoln was elected president he made it a national holiday in 1863.

Thanksgiving back then there were no stores so they had to hunt or they had to raise the animals themselves. It was very hard and they didn't always have a turkey to eat. Currently there are stores to get turkey and stoves to cook so it makes life easier.

Thanksgiving is a great way to get the family together. No matter what your traditions are this Thanksgiving, we hope it is a happy one!

What exactly is blended learning? Blended learning is teaching with technology in the classroom. Blended learning is a class where you will go at your own pace and own level. With

Technology in the classroom students are so much more organized and really focused on their tasks.

What's new about blended learning? Well what's new about blended learning is you get more online resources like websites and social networks. More iPads allow students to find answers to their questions quickly in class. You can also contact a teacher on an app called Schoology at home if you have any questions.

Is blended learning important to have in the classroom? "It's great to have blended learning in the classroom because students learn a lot faster even at their own pace," says Miss. Michas, a 2025 teacher who does a lot of blended learning in her classroom. In my opinion I think blended learning is important to have in the classroom because kids will be more focused and have more resources. Blended learning is important to have in class because it's important to have these resources available to students so they can take control of their own learning.

What are some components of blended learning? Mrs. Pettyjohn, a 2026 teacher, says there is, "working on computers, they have individual math stations, they solve messy problems together, they also work with me on new skills. My P.o.v of the components in blended learning include Khan Academy which is a recourse for video practice. There are also books and the Internet for articles.

We use blended learning in the classroom at Bella Romero in many different ways. Blended learning is a way new way of learning which is really helping students in their academic work.

"Lights, camera, action!" In Bella Romero's drama class they do more than act. There are also directors and camera men, and a lot of the magic happens behind the camera, too.

For an actor they must do their job in front of the camera. They have to act out in scenarios. Why actors are so important is because the have to do acting in front of a camera. "Sometimes I get nervous in front of the camera but mostly I just laugh when we're doing something funny." Says Gonzalo, an actor in drama class. He also says that the class is very entertaining in many ways.

A director needs to supervise the actors and tell them what they are supposed to do. They plan out the videos but there's a lot more to that. Why they are important is because they plan out everything."It's really frustrating when the actors don't want to do what you say." Says Alan Canales, a director.

And last but not least, the cameraman. They are the people behind the camera. There's a good chance that they are the most important ones. A cameraman is so important because they record everything the actors do."A cameraman has to take videos and pictures, and mostly just records everything." Says Maktar, a cameraman.

Drama is a very interesting class. Each person has a specific job to do. But in the end everyone has fun in this class and learns to express themselves in a fun, creative way.

In our first edition of the Romero Times we will be using Nathan Escobar's art piece. I interviewed Ms. Dechant and she said that Nathan is very creative so I decided to interview him. The first thing I asked was what inspired you he answered '' What inspired me, well, I really love the sea world and all its creatures," said Nathan.

This art piece that Nathan made is called 1 point perspective name drawing. This type of art is suppose to look 3-D and as you can see Nathan did a great job. What makes Nathan such a good artist? Because when I was small my big brother was good at art so I learned to draw good to and I've practice for a long time to.''

I personally was with Nathan when he was very focused on this work. He just thought of a sea creature and drew it. He worked for about a week on it but it was all worth it. I asked Nathan how it feels to have his art work in our first published article he answered '' Honored because out of all the many kids in the school I was picked to show my drawing in the published article.''

I asked Ms. Dechant, chose Nathan's work because he is very creative. But he was not the only creative student! There were many others but I thought Nathan's art work was very interesting. Nathan's was not only interesting but also unique. There are many great art pieces but not like Nathan's. As you could see, Nathan is very creative and unique from others. But don't forget about Ms.Dechant, she's the one who also helped Nathan.

It's amazing! The 2019 A team has had a great season! After a few practices and learning a few tricks they are on a roll. Coach Xavier help them learn that basketball is their passion and their dream. They can't fool around if they want it to happen. They have been working really hard and giving it their all. Not one day do they sit around and do nothing, but they run until their legs go numb.

The wolves have been getting into shape really fast with all their hard work! Great job basketball players! Everyday they come to practice prepared and exited to show their skills. Mr. Banas and Coach Xavier are very proud because this season the players try their very best and never say no to basketball.

The boys might show that they're tired but they never give up! The boys never walk out or quit when it gets hard, they play harder. The A and B teams always have a positive attitude and always walk out with a smile because they know that they tried their hardest. They always have a look on their face that says " I'm ready, let's do this!"

The players always work as a team because the more you sweat in practice the less you bleed in battles. The A team is on a roll this season with 8 wins and only 1 loss this season in a very close game! Coach Xavier says that he is very proud of the team because they practice for 1 hour and 45 minuets of good hard work.

The A team, which is Austin, Isaiah, Deandre, Daniel, Lorenzo, Angel, Manuel, and Devin, has worked so hard to become the best team in Greeley and represent Bella Romero well. Coach Xavier has his own hard work out which includes a lot of running, and basketball, where they practice passing, and lay-ups. The most active and sporty one in A team is Austin because basketball is his #1 priority and he always has a good attitude because nobody messes with basketball.

If A team isn't hurting, they are not playing hard enough. One player who coach Xavier gives props to is Daniel because even if he's not in a good mood, he still plays hard and with a lot of effort. Both Daniel and Deandre are great leaders on and off the court this season. Once again the A team is dominating the competition.

Bella Romero has a wonderful team because they are great athletes that work hard. At Bella Romero many of the people on the A team play ball every day and practice their skills. Great job Romero, keep it up!

VUELVE UN GRANDE

Tras varios idas y vueltas el Club Comunicaciones volvio a ser. Asi lo afirmo el flamante presidente Juan Domingo Perez.

Todo parecia oscuro cuando las dirigencias anteriores debido a la mala administracion, llevaron al club a una quiebra. Hasta que los socios dijeron basta, mediante la abogada Florencia Vea, denunciaron el mal manejo de los dirigentes, quienes avasallados por la presión de los socios renunciaron dejando totalmente vacia la administracion del club.
Así es como asumió el flamante presidente, tras unas elecciones donde los socios formaron parte de las bacantes institucionales.
Hoy, tras una semana del hecho ya se anunciaron los nuevos proyectos que llevaran a cabo a principios del año 2015, donde resaltan las obras de remodelacion del club, que seran encabezadas por los arquitetos Melanie Hepp y Adriel Fonzo. Tambien se constató el ingreso de un nuevo personal conformado por excelentes profesionales de primera linea encabezados por el Profesor Luciano Pioto

Una historia por el vino que le jugo una mala pasada.
Esta historia cuenta una discucion muy comica entre dos personajes de Virasoro Corrientes.
Por un lado lo tenemos al Licenciado Forestal Gustavo Bervergi y del otro lado al contador David "El loco" Pilo Cabral.
Esto comenzo en una noche, que el Licenciado lo desafio al contador que no se tomaba 4 litros de vino puro, y el contador le dijo 4 litros era poco.
Entoces asi comenzo la discucion; discucion que paso por todos los temas, de plata, de salud y en fin salio perdiendo el apostador que con mucha vivesa dejo que el contador tomara todo el vino.
Este luego se aprovecho del alcoholico y lo mato.

Beatrice Tomaiuolo - Letizia Reversi

Il giardino possibile

29.11.14

Il giardino ormai dismesso del collegio si presenta abbandonato a se stesso eppure vissuto e ricco di fascino.

La visione dall'alto di questa parte di terreno mostra come si presentava il giardino qualche anno fa, prima dell'usura e della trascuratezza.

Gli alberi ordinati e gli spazi curati sono ormai un ricordo lontano.

La pianta topografica del giardino è stata scelta per rappresentare questo ritaglio di giardino con gli edifici che lo circondano e parte del campo da pallavolo per far evincere che l’area è parte di un complesso. L'intento è quello di far notare la differenza tra l'abbandono del giardino e la cura (intervento umano costante) degli edifici circostanti e della zona "abitata" in questo modo si è evitato di far pensare al giardino come area abbandonata in un contesto non caratterizzato.

Per rendere l'idea del giardino su come si presenta oggi, la classe IV artistico ha realizzato un modellino fedele alle foto scattate sul posto.

Il giorno 10 Novembre 2014 gli alunni hanno iniziato a lavorare sul plastico.

Prima consultazione sui materiali.

Per iniziare i lavori sui modellini architettura e figurativo si uniscono.

Gli alunni si occupano di creare le cinte di ’orto e degli edifici in cartone vegetale che circondano la vegetazione.

#4Rondo

(Career: 11.1 pts, 8.4 asts, 4.6 reb per game) Maybe not the most athletic point guards, but unbelievably crafty. Rajon Rondo has been notorious for not only attacking the rim (6 foot 1 inch, 186) with his small size, but with style. Hiding the ball, crafty illusions, and quickness has been all a part of the style of Rondo. Averaging around two steals per game, and being known for “hounding” the ball makes Rondo no pushover on defense either. Rondo is a great point guard, with scoring ability and the court vision (picking up 8.4 asts per game) makes the Boston Celtics an overall better team when he is commanding the point guard position.

#3 Chris Paul

(Career: 18.6 pts, 9.9 ast, 4.4 reb per game) Hailing from Lob City, and surrounded by talented post players in Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, CP3 racks up the assets, and highlights. Watching the L.A. Clippers with Chris Paul run the helm is an absolute thrilling show. With shooting ability in Jamal Crawford, and rim rattling, rebound magnetic Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, CP3 probably has a hard time picking his poison. Though surrounded by his own talent, Chris can call his own number when wants as well (18.6 pts per game), along with getting other players involved in the game with 9.9 assists per game makes CP3 in the top 5 list for point guards.

Top 5 Point Guards Today

The point guard in basketball is an absolute crucial position. The ideal point guard doesn’t even have to be a major scorer, a solid point guard needs to have good ball handling, a high IQ for the game, and great court vision. If your point guard has to may turnovers, rushes his/hers passes, and can’t handle pressure, along with not making the right reads on offense or not even setting up the offense or defense, that is a great recipe for disaster.

Point guards need to be the commanders on the court, setting up defenses and making sure offensive plays are run correctly. Knowing the defenses’ moves before being made on offense, and knowing how to get in position to make a play on defense. What separates the ok point guards, from the good point guards, from the excellent point guards is the ability to score, the ability to get others in position to score, and athleticism. When you tie in all the previous listed attributes, you get excellence, and all of these point guards have excellence.

#5 D Rose

(Career: 20.8 pts, 6.7 ast per game, with a 46% field goal percentage) Though missing about half of the 2011-2012 season, the whole 2012-2013, and only playing 10 games in the 2013-2014 season due to a torn ACL, Derrick Rose is looking just as healthy as ever. With only 5 years of experience (all with Bulls), the 2008 first round draftee still has a lot of “wows” left in his arsenal. Standing at 6 foot 3 inches and usually being one of the smaller players on the floor D Rose doesn’t let that bother him. With ridiculous athletic ability and speed, above average shooting ability, and great court vision (though being mostly injured that last 3 seasons) D Rose will still be a point guard needing a lot of defensive attention.

Many children, and many adults for that matter, have had the questions of “how did all these animals get here?” For most animals, these questions have been answered; the dairy breed of Jerseys being one of them. The Jerseys are a fascinating breed of cattle, both dairy and overall. Many people are not aware of how useful to society they really are.

Jersey History

Believe it or not, Jersey cattle originated from the, Island of Jersey, which is located towards France within the English Channel. Oklahoma State writes, “The Jersey is one of the oldest dairy breeds, having been reported by authorities as being purebred for nearly six centuries.” Since the early fifteenth century, Jerseys have been one of the most desirable and yielding breeds of dairy cattle. No wonder they were shipped off to the New World for the colonists to use as well! “At that early date, the cattle of Jersey island were commonly referred to as Alderney cattle, although the cattle of this island were later referred to only as Jerseys” (OK State).

One of the major pros of Jerseys would be their climate lenience. Jerseys have been known to be adaptable to nearly all climates, within reason. They have the ability to form thick coats of hair and they possess a type of skin that enables them to expend heat easier. This flexible quality made the Jerseys prime for the long, brutal, and uncleanliness trip to America.

Take a look at some major events in history that have an impact on the dairy cattle industry. They've been around in America for a lot longer than most people might think, over 400 years! According to Dasc, there are some famous milestones in the Jersey world.

Major Events in Dairy History

1611-First cows arrived at the Jamestown Colony

1810-First dairy cooperative in the U.S. organized in Goshen, Connecticut

1851-First commercial cheese factory established in New York

1856-First commercial butter factory established in New York

1868-The American Jersey Cattle Club was founded in America.

1884-Milk bottle invented

1906- First dairy show recorded in Chicago

1930- First dairy judging, titled Hoard’s Dairyman show

1940-American Dairy Association founded.

1940-Purebred Dairy Cattle Association formed.

1943-The PDCA Dairy Cow Unified Score Card was first copyrighted.

1967-World Dairy Expo founded and holds first show.

As the reader can see, there are many important milestones that the Jersey breed and even the whole dairy industry has come a long ways since they were first used and raised. Some of these events are known or recognized by people that aren’t familiar with the dairy industry, such as the milk bottle. This goes to show how influential dairy cattle can be.

Major Points of Showing Jerseys

Although it’s quite ridiculous, and a pain to keep up with laundry, the official show clothes for the showman of all breeds of dairy cattle are white pants and white shirts. Rumor states the tradition started with the milkmaids (a woman who would milk cows for a living), who wore white while milking cows. It must’ve stuck because there is hardly a judge that will allow the showman to wear anything but all white. It has also been noted that wearing white brings out and highlights the natural beauty of the Jersey.

The most commonly heard sentence spoken from city fair goers about Jersey cattle would be “Oh my! They are so skinny! Do they ever get anything to eat?” Fact is, yes, all the time. Jerseys don’t typically gain weight in their ribs, however it’s mostly in their belly and legs. Actually, the nice, long ribs on Jerseys are what dairy judges look for in jerseys and the majority of the other diary breeds as well (not to eat of course). Other significant features that are looked for are a nice round udder, which accounts for 40% of the stated scorecard above, straight and even back, and a smooth walking stride that is not wobbly and shaky.

People underestimate the importance of Jerseys and even their distant dairy cousins of the other dairy breeds. Even though they have been known of since the early fifteenth century, jerseys did not originate in America, but they were brought over in 1611, to the New World to become a major source of butter, cheese, and cream. Jerseys are the most low maintenance breed of dairy cattle, as they adapt well to climate changes and are low to health problems. It’s mandatory that all showmen wear white when showing a Jersey, as it brings out the good qualities of the cow. It also is a prime measurer for showing how dirty you get. Judges like to see a deep ribcage, a plump and full udder, a straight back with no strain on any other body part, and a nice walking gate that resembles the Jersey walking on glass. Even though Jerseys won't always be the first breed people think of when they think of cows, Jerseys are undoubtedly one of the more important breeds of America.

Another key factor in the summer is nutrition. Taking care of their nutrition, just as much as putting their miles on, can make runners a champion at any distance. Not fueling yourself properly could cause them to experience overtraining syndrome. This causes a runner to never reach their full potential. Experiment with new, healthier, foods in the summer to get your body used to different foods. Fine tuning a runner’s eating and drinking habits can help to reach full potential.

Training during the hot summer months is already hard enough, to make it a little easier on your body, eat a little healthier. A teen’s body is growing and changing during high school. Mix sports in with that too, and the body needs the right things going into it. Not eating enough during the season, can cause the body to loose muscle mass which raises the chances of injuries.

Deciding how many calories to eat a day is a bit tricky. There are different factors to consider when deciding. Age is the biggest factor on that. Another factor would be how many miles you are putting on a week. The more miles put on, the more calories that are getting burning off, which makes for a higher calorie intake. The standard numbers though are 2800 calories for the twelve year old runner in middle school, up to 3800 for the eighteen year old senior. These calories should be taken at three meals a day, and three snacks a day. Meals should have a calorie intake of five-hundred to eight-hundred. Meanwhile snacks should only be one-hundred to four-hundred.

For eating something light right before a workout, try half of an energy bar and sports drink one hour before a workout. After a workout, try doing the same thing for faster recovery. It will help get rid of any lactic acid build up in the legs and get runners ready to perform the next day. Another thing that will help with this is getting at least two to three liters of water a day. Keeping the body hydrated will make runners feel like they have more energy (Dorfman). Following these tips can make an impact on a runner’s nutrition and training habits. This will push a runner to be the best they can be.

There are many things that need to be done to reach your full potential in high school. We can’t all be like Obsa Ali and win state with one shoe, but we can reach our full potential by eating foods filled with nutrients and training right. Going by these guidelines will ensure you to have some success in high school running.

The Differences in Cultures

The Differences in Cultures

American culture is very different from the Muslim culture. The way women dress and women’s roles and expectations are just two examples. Most Americans don’t understand the reasons for the differences, and this article will explain some of the differences.

Women in the Middle East are viewed as oppressed by their religion, however, these “oppressive” practices did not come from Islam. They come from local cultural traditions. It is true that many women struggle with equality in the Middle East, but that happens all around the world. According to pbs.org, women in the Middle East were given rights that Western women were not given until the 19th century. Muslim women have always kept their assets after marriage, they specify their conditions in marriage, and many women keep their last name after marriage, while women in America were not given these rights until the late 19th century (More Rights Than One Might Think).

Women have always struggled with education rights. Although the Quran says to educate sons AND daughters, many girls were being taught to stay at home to raise the children and to maintain the household. Now, more and more women are fighting back and going to secondary school and college, too. Middle Eastern government positions are beginning to be filled by women, which has taken a long time to happen. More and more women are going out, finding jobs and bringing home money to support their families. According to prb.org, Middle Eastern economic growth increases 3.7 percent every year as the adult population’s average education level rises (More Rights Than One Might Think).

Now, in America, women think Muslim women are being treated so poorly, and they are, however, aren’t women being treated similarly here at home? American women have to fight for their workplace equality, and the belief that men are better than women are. According to the guardian.com, women earn 77 cents for every dollar their male counterparts make. We have to fight some of the same battles Middle Easter women do, just on a smaller scale (More Rights Than One Might Think).

Women here in the United States have been fighting for equality for decades. They were many basic human rights until the 19th century. Women here in the USA have many of the same expectations as Middle Eastern women do. They are expected to stay home, raise the children, and tend to the husband. This is changing, just as it is in the Middle East. More women are going to school, getting an education and getting jobs (More Rights Than One Might Think).

The Muslim religion follows the Quran, which is the equivalent of the Christian Bible. The Quran states that men and women are equal in the eyes of God. It instructs Muslims to educate daughters as well as sons, insists that women should have the right to refuse a prospective husband, states have the right to divorce their husband, and they have the right to own and inherit property (More Rights Than One Might Think).

Different cultures developed different interpretations of gender roles. Some regions have more restrictive roles, while elite women are sometimes allowed to bend the rules and intermingle with the men. Some Muslims have rejected the limitations put on women and are

reinterpreting the Quran. Elite women first started wearing the veil as a sign of their status. Poorer, rural women were not required to dress as modestly as elite, urban women because they needed the freedom of movement. This is changing. Women do not have to wear the full veil in many places, which is one way Islam is being reinterpreted (More Rights Than One Might Think).

The differences in dress are obvious. Americans are not as modest as many Muslims. Most women are not afraid to show skin, to show their face, to paint their nails. They aren’t afraid because it’s rare for a woman to be punished for what she wears. Women in the Middle East can be beaten or killed just for showing “too much hair” in public. Elite women in America have always been better dressed, as money allows them to afford better clothes. They are allowed to “go against the grain” just as elite Muslim women were allowed to do. (Women in Islam and Women in the West).

Going out in public is something else Muslim women have to worry about. In the past, women were not allowed to go out in

public without a male relative. These women risked beatings, jailing, or even death for defying social norms.

There are also some similarities between these cultures. The belief that women should stay home, care for the kids and cook for the family was a big part of both cultures. Today, women are going against that, going to school, and getting jobs of their own. People used to think women need a man and that a woman is nothing without a man, but this is not as common anymore.

Muslim women are not as oppressed as people believe them to be. They have many more rights than Western people think. Unfortunately, they are not viewed as

equals, but neither are American women. The family roles, clothing, education and employment equality are all things that are changing for women around the world. It will take time, but eventually, women will be viewed as equals all around the world.
