Coconuts– the large, oval, brown seed of a tropical palm, consisting of a hard shell lined with edible white flesh and containing a clear liquid. It grows inside a woody husk, surrounded by fiber.

Our breath is taken away every time I think of a coconut; its seemingly limited use case deceives most people. Coconut oil, pina coladas, cream of coconut, coconut cake… the list goes on. A staple in tropical environments as they hang from coconut palms, (Cocos nucifera) to give off a tropical vibe that we all love. Antioxidant, dietary, immunity, and hydration are all beneficial properties of coconuts for the human body.

 Sharks– a long-bodied chiefly marine fish with a cartilaginous skeleton, a prominent dorsal fin, and toothlike scales. Most sharks are predatory, although the largest kinds feed on plankton, and some can grow to a large size. 

Sharks are breathtaking… in  a very scary way. Sharks are definitely one of the scariest animals in the ocean, as they feature in movies like Jaws and Meg that terrify us. There are many types of sharks; hammerheads, tigers, great whites, and threshers which inhabit different regions of the ocean. I think hammerheads are the coolest, their head shape is so weird it makes you wonder why it’s shaped like a hammer. Why is it like a hammer? If you know, email us please. We really want to know. thowil6838@ccsdschools.com / wilian3396@ccsdschools.com 

Fortnite- Fortnite is an online video game and game platform developed by Epic Games and released in 2017. It is available in six distinct game mode versions that otherwise share the same general gameplay and game engine: Fortnite Battle Royale, a free-to-play battle royale game in which up to 100 players fight to be the last person standing

Our breath is taken away every time we play Fortnite. Dropping from the battle bus and landing at Tomato Town, opening chests, and engaging in build battles. Unfortunately, it used to be more breathtaking than it is now as the game is not as fun as it used to be. 

HBO Max- is an American subscription video on-demand over-the-top streaming service. It is a proprietary unit of Warner Bros.

Our breaths are taken away every time we watch shows or movies on HBO Max. Game of Thrones, Nathan For You, The Sopranos, and Succession are all shows we love to binge. Movies such as Parasite, The Batman, and Dune are all very enjoyable. The menus are much better than competitors such as Netflix and Hulu, no ads, and we like the blue color of the logo. Unfortunately sometimes even though we pause our show, and go onto another app on our phones,  the show continues to play, but nevertheless it is a very good streaming service. 

SEC– The Southeastern Conference is an American college athletic conference whose member institutions are located primarily in the South Central and Southeastern United States.

The Southeastern Conference is breathtaking. Mainly known for football, the conference sports 16 teams. With powerhouse schools such as Alabama, Georgia, and the University of South Carolina, they dominate the American football game and are the best conference in the world. They also have good basketball teams, such as UNC and the University of South Carolina. They also have good volleyball teams, such as Tennessee (congrats to Maisie Jarret, your sister is going there! [Probably]) and the University of South Carolina (Go Cocks!).

 Moss– a small flowerless green plant that lacks true roots, growing in damp habitats and reproducing by means of spores released from stalked capsules.

Moss is breathtaking. It is small or big and green or very green and soft or very soft. It can feel good to walk on or even lie down on and is very cool. I like moss a lot and so does Ian. Moss can go on rocks and look all green and natural and cool (and green). Moss is fun. Thanks, moss. (There is also a reference to Andy Moss when you “moss” someone in football.”)

Using a Calc (slang for calculator) – 

A shortened form of “calculator,” commonly used in informal contexts to refer to an electronic device or software tool that performs mathematical calculations, including basic arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, and more advanced functions. Frequently used by students or professionals when working with numbers or equations.

Using a calc (which is slang for calculator for anyone just joining) is breathtaking. Calcs are super cool to use and they let people do math much easier than if you did not have a calc. For one thing, you could count on your fingers but for bigger numbers like 1000+2000 you will need a calc and cannot do that kind of math in your head. Calcs make math so much easier and are very fun to use because they are very cool. 

 Dogs– a domesticated carnivorous mammal that typically has a long snout, an acute sense of smell, non retractable claws, and a barking, howling, or whining voice.

Dogs are breathtaking. For one thing, they are man’s best friend. For another thing, I like them a lot. Dogs are very funny little animals and they let me have a good time. Some dogs are nice, but some are mean. Dogs can be fun to play with because they can sometimes fetch, sit, run, or do little circles where they chase their tail. They are really nice and sometimes they will lick you which can be funny and cute 😛. I personally have two dogs and Ian has one dog. Together, that makes three (3) dogs. They can be big, or small, or even medium sized. I love dogs a lot. 

Excavator– a large machine for removing soil from the ground, especially on a building site.

Excavators are breathtaking, every time John or I drive by a construction site, we crane our heads to watch the excavators move massive amounts of dirt and sediment. Excavators come in all sizes – the biggest is the Caterpillar 6090 FS weighs over 2,205,000 pounds and the smallest is Kamatsu PCS 0 1 Mini Excavator which weighs only 600 pounds.

Red Ball 4-  Red Ball 4 is the newest installment of the fun physics-based puzzle game. Use the WASD or arrow keys to move the red ball to his goal and be sure to knock out all the stars along the way.

Red Ball 4 is breathtaking. The fourth installment in the Red Ball series, let me just say it keeps me on the edge of my seat. Published on the popular game site coolmathgames, your task is to take the world back from the little evil squares. You can jump on their heads to make them KABOOM!, or you can make them fall off the map. You have to perform quests along the way, and the final boss is a giant evil square. Red Ball 4 is breathtaking, and is easily one of the top 3 video games of all time. I love you Red Ball 4.
