My Dear Students and Readers,
Sometimes people can do strange things and that is what makes them unique.
If on the journey through life you are one such person I am sure we will get to know about it. We will share your glory or defeat. Either way we will be there with open arms and kind words because that is what we learnt this year besides all the Math and English, Spanish, Accounting and Computer Science ( right!) and for those not in school who read this blog, all the things that you learnt. The imprtant thing is that you will learn to be a better person through that which you do. The main point to remember is that YOU CAN NOT GIVE THAT WHICH YOU DO NOT HAVE. So find in your hearts those qualities we spoke about or read the YO PUEDO blog or the papers we gave you. Especially the last papers you got this week. I will be translating soe of the last entries that are in Sopanish eventully on this blog page so keep looking out for them. Strengthen your character and remember there is much to be found in silence.
Read the entry below. Strange but true!
Love always,
Ms B
Teen Inflates 213 balloons with his NOSE!!
BLAINE, Wash. (UPI) -- A 13-year-old Blaine, Wash., boy said he believes he has set a world record by inflating 213 balloons with his nose in the space of an hour. Andrew Dahl, who credited playing the trumpet with giving him his lung strength, said Guinness World Records refused to certify his videotaped previous attempt at the feat, 184 balloons in an hour, because he did not tie the balloons himself, The Bellingham (Wash.) Herald reported Tuesday. However, Dahl said this time he did all of his own tying, and the attempt was captured by multiple video cameras and witnessed by numerous friends and family. The teenager said he expects to hear back from Guinness within a few weeks regarding whether his latest attempt qualifies for the Book of World Records. Dahl's father, Doug, said he measured each balloon after it was inflated to ensure it met the minimum diameter, 20 centimeters (about 7.9 inches) and the boy's mother, Wendy, kept a running tally of Andrew's nose-inflated balloons during the event. The teen said he has been inflating balloons with his nose since he was 7-years-old. "When we had barbecues or get-togethers I'd do it just to show that I could," he said.
