weekly summary: Teddy and his group met some problems during their trip
weekly thought: I am so amazed at how awesome Teddy Roosevelt was. Back then, he was one of the United States' famous president, and during his time, he promoted the construction of the Panama Canal. However, he won't be in the spotlight forever. After losing the 2nd presidential election, he became depressed, and people brushed him aside. I can connect this to the world we live in today. For example, athletes face the same fate like Teddy. When they are young, they were good but as they get older, they become awful. Therefore, they retire and people would forget them. Another example i think strongly support my statement is children stars. Do you have a favorite tv show/movie that has a kid as the star? Well do you know what happens to them when they get older? Well, they get unemployed, dead etc. Sorry but it's the truth. The majority of children stars will not get a job when they get older and this makes them go crazy. For example, the kid from Home Alone is a good example. Remember him? When he was young, he was an icon but after he got older, people forget about him. This then led him to drug usages. All i can say is nothing can last forever.

weekly summary: Teddy Roosevelt set of on an adventure that would soon turn out for the worst.
weekly thought: What intrigued me the most was the hardships Teddy had to faced in his life. At an early age, he had asthma, and when he got older, he would then lose the 2nd presidential election and his first wife. I know how hard it must had been because I also faced many problems. One of my major problems is school. With school, i'm a bit stress. Sometimes when i didn't do too well on my test, i get disappointed at myself. Homework is not a big issue. However, the fear of failure gets to me. I'm scared that if i don't do well in school, i will not only let myself down, but also my parents. I want them to be proud of me. Thats why i try my best in school.
