Innovators impress me!  Where would we stand today without instrumental people like Henry Ford?  No, he did not invent the automobile, but what he accomplished was truly remarkable.  Transportation is critical to the daily lives of people worldwide.  His vision of producing automobiles for middle class citizens revolutionized the car industry.  What once was a luxurious item is now considered an everyday item for most.  Almost 100 years later, assembly lines produce large quantities of items including cars, and Ford's original vision has left a mark globally.

GR. 6 & 7 WEEKLY BLOG POST

Weekly Blogpost

Learning Goal:  To present 3 to 5 important personal items, orally, visually and in written form.

Success Criteria:

•   Represent at least 3-5 important items that you own
•   It’s clear you put some thought into your item selection
•   Post pictures with descriptions on why the objects are important to you

The first important item that I own is my golf ball that I used for my hole in one.  Although it was four years ago, I remember the day like it was yesterday.  I approached the 8th tee at Tangle Creek golf course with minimal confidence after struggling through the first 7 holes.  The hole was playing 177 yards with the wind at my back.  When I hit the ball on the clubface it soared through the air, bounced on the green and rolled into the hole.  It was a moment that I will never forget!  According to Golf digest the odds of an amateur getting a hole in one is 1 in 12 750.  Even today, I occasionally check the Tangle Creek website to view my name under the hole in one club, it's always a great feeling.
