     A thing that would make me want to change this worlds is car pollution.  When I walk home or somewhere, I could smell the disgusting smell of pollution.  It would benefit me because I would not be able to smell the pollution anymore.  But it would help the environment because the air would be cleaner.

Ihop

      Ihop is an amazing restaurant; I go there once a while.  The location of the restaurant is 111 New Jersey 17, Hasbrouck Heights, NJ 07604; which is really close to my house.  Their phone number is (201)288-0355.  They are open from 7am-12am.  Their foods are delicious and I can go there every single day.
     They serve a lot of food.  Some of the foods they serve are Caramel Bon Bon Pancakes, Raspberry White Chocolate Chip Pancakes, Pumpkin Cheesecake Pancakes, Classic Ham Dinner, Classic Roasted Turkey Dinner, Belgian Chocolate Mousse Crepe, Toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate, Gingerbread Hot Chocolate, French Vanilla Coffee, Hot Apple Cider, and much much more.  My favorite thing to drink is Gingerbread Hot Chocolate; I don' always like hot chocolate, but this one is really good.  My favorite pancake is the Double Blueberry Pancake because I love pancakes.  I do not get this a lot but the Philly Cheese Steak Stacker is really good.  When I go there for breakfast, I usually get the Breakfast Sampler.  I also order the Strawberry Stuffed French Toast, when I don't know what to order.  There are a lot of other food I tried there, but they weren't as good as those.



     In 1958, Al and Jerry Lapin created Ihop.  Al and Trudy Kallis, opened the first International House of Pancakes in Los Angeles.  In 1960, the company began to expand through franchising.  1973, the marketing program introduce "Ihop".  In 1992, the 500th Ihop open.  Now there is more than 1,000 Ihops in the world.
    Ihop is my favorite restaurant because the food there is really good.  The people there are nice.  The foods they serve is really pretty.  If the Ihop company close down, I will go to Olive Garden.  Olive Garden is not my favorite place to go, but it has good food.

Nexus 9 Keyboard Folio Review

The HTC Nexus 9 is Google’s latest tablet running pure, unadulterated Android, and it’s a very capable piece of hardware, made better because it’s running Lollipop, which is a big step up for Android overall. Google has just begun shipping Nexus 9 Keyboard Folio accessories, too, which give the tablet a magnetic cover with a built-in keyboard, complete with mechanical keys that actually offer decent travel, sort of like the Microsoft Surface Type Cover. It’s an accessory that inevitably leaves you thinking Google’s longterm Android tablet plans could be much more about competing with low-cost notebooks in the enterprise, rather than against other tablets like the iPad.

     If I become the teacher, I would add a medical class.  Ever since I was five, I always want to be a doctor and I think having a medical class would help other children, including me, achieve our goals.  One of my friend goes to NYU and she told me how hard it is and how the technology is so advance.  My goal is Columbia, which is harder than NYU and I know it will be more challenging.
     The class would meet at a big classroom with a lot of tools.  It would have modern tool, also we would be able to use Macs.  This classroom feels like your at a hospital.  We would have different bodies to test, so kids would l;earn the human body and would be set for college.  The students would learn all about the human body, what it contains, and how to deal with patients.  It would help the student at college a great amount because this class will teach college level stuffs.

     Last week we had only two days of school, Monday and Wednesday.  On Tuesday, I did some homework for Wednesday.  On Tuesday, I got my iPhone 6! I was waiting on line from 9:39 to 10:31.  I had waited on line for two times, this is the third time.  The first time was on September 20, it was the second day since the iPhone had came out, but after three hours of waiting they only bring me the bad news that there was no more phones available.  The second time was on Columbus day, I waited for four and they tell me that no phones are available anymore, I was the second one I really thought I would get it.  But on November 4, a miracle happened and I got it for waiting just half an hour.  On Thursday, I did a little homework, relaxed, and listen to Austin Mahone.  On Friday, I hang out with friends.  On Saturday, I went shopping with my mother.  On Sunday,  I went to New York, it was the worst time since it was freezing cold.

Editorial

     An editorial is an article that can be viewed from many people, like Wikipedia.  It's written by an editor expressing their feelings.  Many teachers told me that Wikipedia is not reliable because people can go in and change the facts.  On reports, teacher will not allow me to use Wikipedia.  They believe it does not store the correct information.  I never thought why they won't allow us to use Wikipedia, but when I got older, I found out why.  After reading this article, I know now that Wikipedia can by helpful.

     Ms. Larson, my third period biology teacher, is a fast teaching teacher.  She is a new teacher in Wood-Ridge Junior/Senior High School.  Ms. Larson grew up in a farm, where she still works at on Saturdays.  She,also raised a lot of animals.  Her dad was paralyzed, now recovered but his hands.  Her grandmother,on the other hand, got cancer and past away.  She did not get her doctor-in-degree.   When she was in high school, biology was not her best subject, but when she took AP Biology, senior year, so she won't have to take it in college.  Now she likes biology and is here to teach us all about biology and how it can help us in our lives.

     When class first started, I thought  we would learn about cancer and different types of diseases.  We had learn a lot the past few days of school.  We learned about diseases and how it could spread and how we could cure it.  She taught us about glow in the dark cats.  We also learned that bees  are dying and that we need to make robot bees or human can never pollinate our plants.  We learn a great amount of things in her class.

     We might do labs, but her room is too small and can't us fire.  In that case, we might go to Mr. Colarusso's room and do some labs there.  If we do have that chance we could dissect frogs and much, much more.  Today, we are painting each others nail, but then removing it with nail polish remover.
       We have not use technology yet.  Also, she has not shown us the grading system for her class.  She is a teacher that goes through lessons super fast and if you do not have it down, she does not go back.  She is nice but strict.  My brother has her as a science teacher,too.
