I disagree that the word selfie should be the word of the year. Selfie is a slang word, a made up word and in all means should not be added to the dictionary let alone become the word of the year. Selfie is an ignorant word that people will use in a possible hashtag to gain more likes a photo. I disagree becuase I do not even believe selfie is a real word and shal not be placed in the dictionary.

My fondest memory of Business Olympics was getting up infront of the judges and presenting. My team had a great skit and it all worked out better than we expected. When we presented our ideas were clear and stated the best we could. If I could improve my business olympics I would use a different presentation format. My old format was boring and not intreging. Overall Business Olympics is one thing I will always remember from high school.

My fondest memory of high school had to be my field hockey career. Since the start of freshmen year I had been on the team and throughout the past 4 years I have had four different experiences yet all are so similar. My freshmen year my mom would call me the water break girl, if one of my starting teammate needed a drink I would be the teammate to go in for her and play her position for a few seconds. At the start of sophomore year, I became a starter and thats when it all changed. Field hockey was my foundest memory of high school. My foundest memory of Middle School was getting the honor of being captain of the softball team. I was one of the rare few to make the team of as a 7th grader and than for my next year making captain became such an honor. My foundest memory of Elementary School had to have been when I was in the kindergarden circus. I was a type rope walker and I got to wear a squence costume. That must have been my foundest memory.

My best skill in school is multitasking, I have the intention spand to be working on other things while paying attention to my teacher. This skill helps me actually stay focused on what the teacher is actually saying. If I am not working or doing something while the teacher is talking I may lose focus and become clueless on what is being said. I do best with hands on projects because with public speaking and test taking I let my anixety get the best of me. This is my best skill because when doing the project I can stayed focus on my object, get all my main points out. With speaking or test taking, I can never truly get all my thoughts out clearly. Its important while doing the project that I have the ebiligility i didnt have while public speaking or test taking.

Yesterday, being Veterans day, I took the time out of my day to really consider and be grateful for everything the Vets have done for this country. My grandpa being a Veteran, is the head of a Veterans center upstate and yesterday there was a huge celebration. A parade that went through the town. He even got to ride in a car and wave to all those who came out to support. Veterans is a huge day in my family because my grandpa had surved in the war and that really puts Veterans day into perspective for myself and my family. My grandfather had risked his life for this country and that means the world to me.

For starters fall is not my favorite season so I'm not greatful for many things about it. But since I must write somethings about fall I do enjoy the time in fall when its a perfect weather for just a sweater. Heading toward the cool part of the season sets the perfect time to pick your apples and carve some pumkins. After the whole pumkin picking event you enter into a warm house have some hot apple cider and get baking. The atmosphere will be filled with pumkin and cinnamon spells, it warms the house and it givens me the only reason to appreciate the fall season, as the leaves change and get swept away by the gusting wind.

Smithtown's very own Patrick Vecchio won as town supervisor for the 35th year running. Vecchio is 83 years old and has been the longest presiding supervisor in New York State. Mr. Vecchio was a former member of the NYS Police Department and retired with a career rank of Dective Sergeant. He has been on many local boards and service organizations. I think with all his experience he will be a sucess in running our Smithtown office. The man has had an education St. John University and seems to me very sucessful, Mr. Vecchio will do a fine job in office and I have no conern for while he is serving. If our public believes he will do a fine job I will not be one to disagree.
