Museum Of Tolerance

Hey Than-Fans,
        Today I have an interesting post about our latest field trip. We as a class, went to Little Tokyo and learned a lot about the Holocaust and the Japanese Concentration Camps.

My first responses to these terrifying events were fear, sadness, and regret. Throughout this whole experience I had a lump in my thought and a tight stomach. Yes, this was scary and gut wrenching but, I have been taught by people's past mistakes not to repeat these catastrophic event.

I was nervous about this whole experience but, all in all, I was informed and have become more knowledgeable.

My Time Capsule

Hey Than-Fans,
      I'm coming at you with yet another funky blog. Today I am going to show you what I that people might want to know about me in the near future.

Childhood/Family: I want people to know that my favorite memory of childhood is how I would love to lead the conversation and love the smiles that I put on my peers faces. It makes me smile :)

Heritage/Family Roots: I want people to know that I am 1/18 Cherokee and 50% Scottish and the rest of my ancestors heritage is a mix from everywhere. I got my middle name (Elliott) from a clan that my family has descended from.

Accomplishments/Achievements: I want people to know that I was quite the mighty fine water polo play back in the day. I want them to know not to give up and to always give 110% in all that you do.

Legacies: I want to leave my mark and I want people to know it. I would love to have people think of me and know that he helped the world.

Thanks Than-Fans,

       -Your Leader (Ethan)

My Life Motif

Hey Than-Fans,
      Today I'm throwing another groovy blog your way. I have chosen to write about the motif that has reappeared in my life as well in The Glory Field. Light vs. Dark.

In my life I have slipped into the dark sometimes only to be pulled out by a friend or a family member and into the light. Wether it was bad grades or feeling guilty for missing a shot that I should have made, my teammates or family have always been there for me to pull me back into the light.

This is like Shep in the sense that he was a crackhead and an addict but he is in the midst of being dragged into the light by Malcolm. He was lost but now he is found.

When you see someone slipping up and making a mistake always be there for them. Always.

Am I A Child Of The West?

Wasabi Than-Fans!Do you think of yourself as a "child of the west"? I do love cali and and watch a lot of Netflix but I don't really think of myself as a child of the west. I think of myself not as a stereotypical Californian but there are certainly traits that I contain that are like these Californians but, I don't completely view me as one of them.

Thanks again Than-Fans!

The Time That I Grew Up

Hey Than-Fans.

I was thinking back to the time that I felt like someone that I was way younger than. I felt like a tiger earning its stripes. I was the one that had the ball in my hand at the buzzer. It felt like I had grown up at least 20 years in those five seconds. They felt like the last ones that I ever had. The sad thing was that the ball went just right of the cage but just the feeling of being the one that my team relied on made my feel like a supreme leader.

My Legacy

Welcome back Than-Fans!!!!


When I grow old, I want my grandchildren to know my by my wacky humor and lenient personality. I want them to be happy that I am related to them. I want them to know...

• I love sports
• They can do what they want (within reason)
• They always have me to lean on when sick or poor
• I will love them unconditionally

Thanks Than-Fans

Identity

Hey Than-Fans. Here is what I think My identity looks like.


Local, Calm, Water Polo

Local- I have lived in Santa Barbara for my whole life and love it. I have gone every where to the Mesa to Gibraltar.

Calm- I feel like I am calm and collected. It takes a lot to stress me out.

Water Polo- I have played Water Polo for somewhere between 11 and 9 years. I have been loving the sport from a young age and think that my career could continue and I can always get better.
