Blog 13 ( Review on 20% project)

             

 Today My English teacher Mr. Lee told us to do our last blog on our 20 % project. At the beginning of the year I looked at this assignment as a burden but later on thought of it as a blessing. Through my blogging I learned more about my cousin Hebron then I have known about him before. I really don't want to stop blogging. But I know I was successful on the 20% percent project because I did what I said I would do which is to write a story on my cousin. I would like to thank my audience around the world to even consider my blog. Who ever you may be I hope you enjoyed my blogs at least a little bit. I know I may not be the best writer but I try writing my best. I loved doing the 20% project which is based off of a Google routine that Google workers work on. Please if you haven't checked out the story NFL Rookie please view it if you can. The story should be linked to my blog account because I blogged the story. Down below is a video link of students presentations on the 20% percent project.

Over the weekend I finally finished my story! I am so excited to share the story with others and especially with  my cousin. I also presented to the class what I did on the 20% project through a presentation. Down below you will find a video link of the video that I shared on the presentation. The video shows my cousin Loni and his input on the NFL draft. My story is linked with my blogger account so feel free to read it when you have any free time.  Please if you can tell others about the story so my cousin can potentially have more support from people around the world. I hope that this story can motivate you or people you know. I myself can relate to the story because I am not giving up on my goals and am working hard so one day I will know what true success is and so one day I can help someone by motivating them to become something greater to become a successful person who stands out to others. In my church we have a scripture that says "Arise and shine forth that thy standard may a standard for the nations." I wanted to share the scripture because I know that everyone has a light and potentials in them. People need to find that light in themselves through one way or another and I know that my cousin has found that light with in him self.

My English teacher Mr. Lee told me that I would be presenting my 20% project on Thursday the 29th of May. I am nervous but I know that I have no need to worry as long as I finish my story. So this weekend I will spend a lot of time finishing my story. The title of my story will be NFL Rookie ( the story of Hebron Fangupo). I f you guys are interested in reading my story it will be linked to this blog. Just go to my account and look at my blogs and it should be there. It is called NFL Rookie. I am so excited because school is coming to an end and I will finally finish my story. I hope that my story will inspire other athletes and people to work hard on their goals and try to become a more successful person. One last thing I would like to share is that one trait that successful people do is to not quit.

I am finally starting to work on my cousins story once again and hopefully I will finish by the time I have to present what I have.  My cousin has been in Pittsburgh for a little while now and he has been really working hard so he can do a lot better this football season and possibly show that he can be a potential starter for the Steelers. I know my cousin Loni may be a lot older than other rookies but I know that his health is good because he doesn't drink alcohol or do drugs. I know that because of the faith my cousin has he will be able to do great things both on and off the field. Loni is and has been a great role model for me and am glad I had an opportunity to share with you some of the motivation I have gained from my cousin Loni's example.

So finally I can start lifting weights again. It sucked  not being able to lift weights for about 6 weeks. While I was recovering I saw people in my sports getting really strong and I wanted to surpass them and get better. Going through surgery helped me appreciate lifting weights more and motivated me to get better when I can start lifting weights again. While going through recovery my cousin  Hebron reassured me that I can still get strong and better. I made a goal to recover like a beast in football season. A prime example for me is my cousin because he would tell me" no matter what you do don't give up." When I started lifting weights I was really weak I felt like a little boy. John aka "BIG JOHN" my wrestling partner was lifting weights and saying "Get on my level Zion." Now I am back in football and working hard for season but also so I can destroy the team captain  Big John in wrestling in front of everyone during wrestling season and surprise my wrestling Coach.

   My cousin went back to Pittsburgh once again for football. I wont see my cousin for a while now. While he was here he was a good example for me. Since I have started lifting again I remember his words of inspiration so I will be motivated to get better. When I lift weights I feel super weak because of surgery but that's not going to stop me because I know as I work hard I can only get better. While Hebron was here down in Anaheim he was on a really strict diet and he was constantly exercising because back at work per each pound over the weight they tell you to be is a fine of $7,000 dollars out of the players pay checks so you can imagine how strict they are in the NFL.My cousin is a hard worker and I look up to him as a great role model.

This last Friday March 28th the churches youth was having a dinner fundraiser. My cousin Hebron was attending and so did his wife and son. my cousin Rebekah married to Hebron  my cousin(in law) was making cinnamon rolls for the dessert auction and my grandma Linda Handy was making a triple chocolate cake for it along with my aunts fancy Easter chocolate cake. When we got to the event I went with the rest of the youth to help serve others who paid to attend. Hebron was auctioning a Fijian wooden stick called the " Neck Breaker" it was said that Fijians would use the wooden neck breakers to kill any intruders who invaded their territory. With my cousin Hebron's humor he wrote under quick description " for the silent auction that the Neck Breaker was for "In case of a zombie apocalypse".  My grandma is a woman who likes to collect things from different cultures and things all over so when she saw the neck breaker she bid on it until she finally got it ha-ha. Well I have to tell you that when the desert auctioneer was auction off Hebrons wife cinnamon roll he bid on it for 80 dollars to get his precious cinnamon rolls back.
