Why do some people get paid more for some jobs, and less for others?

This is a question that some people know, and others don't. Jobs are something that everyone needs. Even if you dont want a job, you'll need a way to get money eventually. For simpler jobs like cashier, bus driver and janitor, the pay is less. But with other jobs like police officer, fire fighter and construcion worker, jobs that are more stressful or dangerous, you get paid more. Sometimes if your very good at something, even the best in the world, you may not make a lot of money if it is a low paying job. Even if your very nice or mean, the pay will probably not change.

When a waiter spills a drink on you, thats a bit annoying but it happens. But with jobs like police officer, you cant make mistakes, and people expect you to be good at it all the time. As a waiter, of course your going to spill a drink or give someone the wrong order atleast once. But, if you have a slip up as a police officer, it may have a much, much worse outcome. Thats why those kind of jobs pay more than jobs like waiters and cashiers. 

Well, that leaves one more question. What job is the best job? Well, there is no answer. Do what you want! If you want to be a game developer, be one. If you want to be an astronaut, chase your dreams and be one! What job do you want, or are currently chasing to be. Leave a comment with feedback, suggestions or your dream job thank you for reading, goodbye.

The 3 types of fingerprints

 There are 3 types of fingerprints a person can have. Some are more common than others, the rarest being:

Arch

These fingerprints are the rarest, appearing only in 5% of the population. Looking almost like rising and falling hills, some also look like pointed tents. These are the least common fingerprints.

Loops

Loops are the most common fingerprint, appearing in 60 - 65% of the population. They are ridges that enter on one side of the finger, curving around and leaving on the other side.

Whorls

Whorls appear in 30 - 35% of the population. They are usually rounded in shape and have at least one full circle.

Sleep & exercise for teens.

 1. Healthy food for teenagers

Food is a very important part of a healthy diet. Its just as important as the exercise itself, because if you exercise then just sit down to eat junk food, you'll make all the weight back! Here is a slideshow showing a possible health diet for the week.

2. Sleep - how much do you need?

Sleep is also very important in a healthy life. Not only does the amount of sleep you get that effects how you feel, its also the quality. Eg, a nice pillow, mattress, comfortable blankets etc. The recommended amount of sleep is 8 - 10 hours a night. Thoughts in your mind also effect how you sleep. If you have nice, simple thoughts you will most likely get a good sleep. While, if you have bad, stressful thoughts, it may not be so nice. Remember, a good exercise requires a good nights rest!

3. Exercise itself.

Exercise can happen in many different ways. For example, running. Its simple but nice. Going on a small run everyday can be nice for your body. Another example is the gym. Going to the gym has to be one of the most popular places to workout. Even if its your very fist time working out, there's something for everyone of any skill set. You can lift weights, run on treadmills and so much more. If you want to learn a bit more than I can tell you, watch this short video about exercise > Link. Or if you want a proper exercise video, watch this one here > Link

Remember, a good exercise life takes good dedication!

Writing task

 This week's writing task was that we had to write a story containing 5 certain words, as well as being over 100 words. The words were 'Evacuate, Red, Urgent, Industry & Afraid'. Here is the story.

The 15 foot monster.

As the alarms blared, red lights filled the halls.

The speaker’s were screaming the word “EVACUATE” over and over.

Many of the workers were afraid, others were making an effort to get to the exit.

As I turn a corner, I see it. A huge, 15 foot tall bear was running down

the hall towards me, chasing a handful of workers that knew their time had come.

I turned the other way and started sprinting towards the second exit.I wasn’t a quarter way down the hall before I hear the screams and yells of the

workers behind me.

My phone buzzes and out of the speaker I hear, “Urgent. Urgent.”

It was quiet, considering I could hear it over the roars and growls.

I got out the door just in time for the roof to collapse behind me.

I had escaped.

I never thought I would be so happy to see the Industry infected city in front of

my eyes.

Week 5 Moral

 Hello everyone! This is a task I was suppose post last week, but ran out of time to post it. This was throw together very quick so don't judge me, its very simple.

There are many ways to obtain things in the world. You may want to buy it, or you may want to make it or even get it naturally. Like this for example. If you want a fish, you can get it 2 ways. 1. Fishing for it. 2. Simply buying it from the market. Just know if you ever want something, you have to do effort for either way. If you want a fish the first way, you must fish for it. If you want to buy it, you must earn the money to buy the fish.

5 Senses Story.

 Hello everyone! I'm gonna make this short cause I want to get right in! This week for writing we have done a 5 senses story. If you would like to know what that is, here is a short explanation. A 5 senses story is a task we did for writing this week. We picked from 4 settings and we all got in groups of 3. I was in a group with Elise and Ruben. They are 2 great friends of mine so that's why we teamed up. We all split the senses evenly. I did smell and touch. Elise see. And Ruben did hear and emotions. And, remember that abomination I called the Snorgrilla... Its back and even better! In this story its the main problem and, maybe even the solution? I haven't finished this yet, it still has so much room for improvement so expect a new update on this post! I'll put the team and my own story up here so you an take a look. Thats all for now! See ya!

My helicopter experiment

 Hello again! Its Kristian with another post. This time its interesting! This time i'm posting about my experience with paper helicopters. This activity was a way of learning what a fair test is. A fair test is a test where everything is same each time, except for one thing. You can do this how many times you want, the exact same way, but as I just said, with one thing different. This is my experience with my fair test. We were doing a experiment about paper helicopters. I hope you learn the rest in the slide below. Enjoy!

Monster Writing And Drawing

Hey everyone! Its another post about school work! This time its a monster themed writing task's. This week my class have been working on a bunch of monster themed things. It was originally just a fun task to do with the book "Where the wild things are" but now its changed to designing and describing our own monsters! We have planned, drawn, described and even started making a narrative story on our monster. I will try get that on here but, don't expect it. I hope you enjoy this post! As I said, I'll try get my narrative on my blog as a separate post but, i'm still working on it! Leave me any suggestions in the comments!

My character description (Its pretty long)

Snorgrilla

What my monster looks like...

---------------------------------------------------------------

The Snorgrilla is a snake-gorilla mixture with a bit of fly and unicorn in there. It has a snake body with a bunch of little fly legs it uses to hunt down its prey. Its prey is usually bananas. It has a gorilla head with a unicorn horn stuck on its forehead. It has fly wings in the middle of its body it uses when it's too tired to climb. It can be very dangerous though. If distrbed or annoyed, it will use its huge horn to jab you away, and in some cases, stun you because it has a stunning venom in its horn that injects into its prey's body when they jab them.

How my monster came to this world...

-------------------------------------------------------

The Snorgrilla likes most foods except for… sushi. The Snorgrilla hates sushi. If it comes in contact with sushi it will scream like a little girl and run away. This is because it thinks all sushi is made of snake meat. It also hates water. It’s because Snorgrilla can’t swim. The Snorgrilla came to this world because of a science experiment gone wild. In 1993, A company called “Smooch”, conducted an experiment on a rat. They planned to make the rat immune to radiation. They ran multiple test experiments and it all added up. It couldn’t have gone wrong. Except for one flaw… a snake had managed to enter the underground facility, switched the settings, and it saw the rat in the test tube. The snake climbed into the tube in an attempt to eat the rat. They didn’t see the snake, turned on the machine and it made a fizzing sound. “Fizz. Fizz. Fizz.” they thought they had it right until it started fizzing faster. “Fizz fizz fizz fizz”. It then got even faster and louder. “FIZZ FIZZ FIZZ FIZZ”. They all started getting worried and all ran off, not bothering turning the machine off. Then as everyone got out of the facility they all heard a big, faint “BOOM”. Then a huge waft of smoke filled their noses. Then, out of nowhere, the Snorgrilla crawled out of the burning building. They tried catching it, but it got away. That's how the Snorgrilla came to be.

The personality of my monster...

-----------------------------------------------------------

The Snorgrilla can be a very speedy creature, reaching speeds as fast as a police dog. It is also very greedy. When the Snorgrilla comes across another animal that it doesn’t eat, it will steal all the food the animal has on it. It has stolen food from wild dogs, turkeys, vulchers and even a lion.

What my monster does all day...

--------------------------------------------------------------

But, all together, the Snorgrilla is a pretty lazy creature. It spends most of its time laying in the sun and only getting food if necessary. Its favorite food is, well, almost everything.
