1-Persepolis- I think that when marjanes life was going through a rough period her parents was the one who helped her in life and with her problems. Even though they were not with her through out the whole story but I remember a few times she would think of her parents when she had a problem and what they would say. I would consider them to bee her heroes because they raised her right and taught her right. Plus close to the end her parents help her straighten her life out. Her parents sent her money, they got her a place, they gave her emotional and physical support, they taught her how to survive in the world. When marj had a problem she would think about what her parents taught her and all the things they have done for her and it actually helps her out.
2-Hotel Rwanda-In this story I consider paul to be the hero in this story because of all the things he did for his people. At the beginning of the story paul seemed like he only cared about his family and at the end he started to care about all his people. He spent a lot of money trying to save his people and get them to safety. Even when his family got on to the truck to get to safety, he did not leave with them because he could not let his people die. He was a hutu but he was helping the tutsi. He did a lot for them. At the end he succeeded because he, his family, and his people all get to safety.
3-Swing kids- In this movie I thought that peter was the hero in this story because he influenced a lot of people in the end. At the end while he was getting hauled away to his death he was not scared but he was happy. All the people saw it and decided that they would fight for what they believed in and would not let the Nazis get in the way. He gave up his friend to continue being a swing kid. He got beat up for it and he got harassed for it but he didn’t care because he wanted to be a swing kid and that motivated a lot of people to rebel against the Nazis and swing.

A. Overcoming adversity and challenges
In the movie hotel Rwanda the charter Paul over came challenges when he had to make the employs work when they refused what happened was the employs wouldn’t work because the boss left to the United States. He got them to work by getting the letter from the boss over the phone and had him fax it to them that’s how he made them work,
Another was when the army came to his house and took everybody out of the house and he had to take them to get something. The army found out the people were tutsie and they don’t like the tutsie so he had to find a way to keep them from killing them so he paid the army off. That is how overcame that challenge.
The biggest challenge was staying calm with all the killing and other things he stayed calm and didn’t panic he did that by focusing on his job and his family.
b. Tolerance
In the movie hotel Rwanda Paul had to tolerate the UN saying you are nothing but dirt and we should not help you because you are black and he had to tolerate and he stayed calm.
He had to tolerate the workers that didn’t listen to him and he had to embaressed himself to get them to work and he was embaressed by calling the boss in the states and asking to Wright a letter to the workers saying you need to work.
The un personal had to tolerate the Hutus and the tutsis even when the Hutus killed a un personal the general had to tolerate not shooting them and the orders he got he had to tolerate because the orders were not to help them.
c. Heroes
The UN was Paul’s heroes because the general stayed there to help even when he was not supposed to and because he was brave and nice to him even though Paul was a Hutu.
The neighbors of Paul. Paul was there heroes because he helped them and he was a Hutu but he didn’t care he went out of his way to help the people
Another heroes to Paul was the camra man from the untied states because he went out of the safe zone to get some footage and he risked his life for it and he forced his boss to watch it and to put it on the TV.

Overcoming Adversity and Challenges
In the book, Persepolis, there were a lot of examples about overcoming adversity and challenges. The book takes place in Iran in the late 1990’s. Marji had grown up with her family in hard times with the wars that were going on in there country. When things had gotten bad enough her parents had decided to send her Europe so that she would be safe. She had to overcome living on her own in a completely different country. Marji learned to take care of herself and learn things on her own without her parents being there with her. When she had decided to go back to live in Iran, she was 19. While she lived there she had to overcome more wars and her newly married life. Her husband and her finally had gotten a divorce. Now, mostly everyone can somewhat relate to that.
Hotel Rwanda is a little hard to watch because of the things that the people go through. It took place somewhere in Africa. Paul, the manager of the hotel, has to deal with a lot of stuff. In the beginning he seems to only want to take care of his family. It took place in the early 1990’s and yet is still happening today. Paul took very good care of his family and his business. He was a Hutu, yet his wife and kids were Tutsi. The Hutu were the ones “in charge” or so they thought. So the Tutsi people were always scared and being horribly treated by most of the Hutu people. Paul soon realizes at the end of the movie that he can take care of his family, being everyone not just his wife and children. He sends his wife and kids to somewhere else so that they can be safe although he stays behind to help all of the Tutsi people that are staying at the hotel for safety. He overcame the challenge of people trying to kill him for helping the other people and also for living in that kind of situation. He was a hero to so many people.
The Nazi people are hard people to watch. They had done so many horrible things to innocent people. They believed in certain things and everyone else in the country had to suffer. Swing Kids is a movie that had a lot of meaning to the word ‘freedom’. Nobody really had any. This took place in 1939. Not being part of the HJ was a little like putting disrespect to the Nazi’s. The kids in the HJ beat everyone who was different. Peter and his friend Thomas had to join the HJ so that they didn’t get into anymore trouble. They had decided to be swing kids by night and HJ kids by day. Yet, Thomas had transferred into thinking that what he was being taught at the HJ was right and betrayed Peter at the end of the movie. They had a handicapped friend, Arvid, who was treated horribly because he was handicapped. He ended up committing suicide because he was so overwhelmed with the torture the HJ put him through and because his “friend” turned his back. Thomas had kept his head on straight and overcame the challenge of being both a swing kid and part of the HJ. He was taken away and still had a smile on his face because he knew what he did was right and he was proud of it. He overcame living with all the things he had gone through with his country, friends, family, and himself.

My thoughts about this novel were good because I liked the book.
It was very interesting and I kept wanting to read more.
I liked the way the book talked about a teenager growing up.
I did not really like it when they started talking about the war or when they would talk about politics because it sounded so boring.
I would definitely recommend this book to another person.
I think the meaning of this book was to let us know what is really going on in the world.
I like it how it kind of relates to my life like the use of drugs and depression and family problems.
I like it how she comes up even though she is living rough and hard.
I like the way it showed us how it was in iran.

Brainwashing a thing the government knows all to well. Just ask any one. If there smart they well tell you the truth. But if there stupid or ignorant they well say the government is here to help you. Like 9-11, I’ll put money on it the government hade a little something to do with it. I don’t think it is as black and white as every one makes it. I how we blame Muslims for every thing, but we are just as much the blame as them.

We have been talking an in immense detail about adversity and challenges by reading books like perspolis and fahrient 451. These novels are about people going threw adversity because the government is ignorant or plain punitive about change. Along with antagonists comes protagonists to fight for something they truly believe in.
Challenges are that people try to subjugate for the better. Just like marji and her family is trying to do by demonstrating against the government of Iran. Including montag living in a society were books are illegal and he soon finds out that book have the signifiance of knowledge and have more meaning than people assume.
It is inenvitable to inquire challenges all threw life, its not how painful it can be important, but how you conduct yourself through out the life lesson.

Today has been a good day. The only problem that I had was I got a three in bens class because I was passing notes to Danielle. I have been working really hard on keeping my grades up and it is actually working. I got like a little over two weeks before my court date and I got to have everything looking good for the judge. I am hoping to finally be able to go home so I can be with my family. I want to show the judge that I can be successful and actually do good in my community . I want to get back with m family so I can be there for my little girl . I don’t want to miss anymore time of her life. I also want to be there for my family and so I don’t have to wait till Sunday to talk to my mom. If I was home right now than everything would be going really good right now. I can only hope right now that it goes good in court. I hope she is in a good mood.

So I just got out of girls group and ti was a lot to do with drama and anger issues. Haha . Going to this school you can’t really get away from the drama because the school is so small. Everyone in this school has done something to get them here. Either it is something that they did or something someone else couldn’t do. But, everyone has there own issues and there own problems. It makes me laugh a little when people complain about their problems like it is the end of the world. Summit High School is kind of like a program. But it is a good high school that helps you. Although I have done my fair share of trouble I still think about all of the things that I have been through. It is not fun to go back into your past esspecially when you don’t want to. I’ve tried to keep tyo myself this past year so that I wouldn’t get into trouble anymore. For some reason when I hang around a lot of people I get back into my old ways a little bit, and that scares me.

This week I will tell you about all my mottos that I like. I will start off with the motto I came up with when I was in a program its work it because you want to not because you have to because when you work it because you have to it wont turn out the way you wanted it to. Sorry time is up so I cant tell you the rest of them.

Trial in my life
In my life I have been through all kinds of trials. The most recent is when I got caught driving when I was not supposed to. I got charged with joyriding speeding 91 in a 65 driving on a denied license and failure to stop for an emergency vehicle. I went to court and got two of the four charges dropped. It took along time but I did it. I went to court for four weeks every Thursday at 9:00am in Farmington but it was worth it because now I don’t have to spend a year in jail. I only have to do one-year probation and pay a fine. I have many trials I just don’t want to talk about them any more. When I talk about my past I get excited and want to go and do it again. But I don’t want that so its better if I just leave it alone and let things be as they are and live my life.

If you are going through hell keep going
I think the guy that is saying this he means. Don’t give up keep trying because if you are going through hell then you are doing good because it goes bad before it goes good so if you keep going that if will get better but it will take time before it starts getting better.
Would you change you life if you could. I wouldn’t because it would not make me who I am. Every the bad things because know I can look back and say at lest I'm not living that again. That makes me feel better. Do you live you life on the edge or do you live it straight. Like if you came to a fork in the road and you was in the hills on road was fun and safe and you knew were it went. But the other road was winedy and dangerous and you don’t know were it goes or what will happen. What one would you take? I would take the dangerous road. Do you use four-wheel drive to get you out of trouble or do you use it to get into trouble. I use it to get into trouble because if you don’t push it then you don’t know were the point of brake is. How far do you push a truck in the hills. I push my truck tell it stops or tell it rolls I don’t stop because if I don’t then I don’t know how fare I dare to go.
This is how people live their lives so do you think about how you live yours?

I think that challenges are some what good because it helps us experience life and it gets us prepared for even bigger challenges. Like right now my challenge right now is to get out of the system. I have been in the system for like almost three years until the judge finally sent me here. To get out of here I need to do good in school and I need to follow all of the rules in my program and I need to pass all of my drug tests. This whole experience is teaching me to take life more seriously and to realize that all of my actions affect not only me but a lot of people. You can be strong and overcome the challenges that life throws at you or you can be weak and let it overcome you. The weak ones who let the challenges overcome them are the ones who are poor or are the ones that are getting addicted to drugs. The strong ones are the ones who finish school and who lead a good life. The strong ones are able two walk away from peer pressure or are the ones who do there work in class. The weak ones are the ones who are always talking in class and who don’t really care for there school work.

One of the challenges I have to still over come is being in foster care. My parents never want to talk to me unless they want to balme something on me like they don’t have enough money, or I made the family fall apart. I think it’s harder for me to want to see them because I think it’s unfair for them to put it on the kid when its really not there fault. I think that if they want to put the blame on someone it should be them because they were the ones that couldn’t take care of me in the first place. I think that its gotta be just as hard on my parents as it is on me. Well I guess the plus side is I get to spend all Saturday with my real parents. Except the only way I get to go over there is to clean all the house that I don’t even live in.

I personally believe adversity is a key factor in life to really see some ones real colors or some people’s true intentions. Adversity and challenges all threw life is evitable but I honestly think after everything is said and done, how somebody’s composure is still in place.
Adversity relates to anyone who had a very difficult time in time in his or her life. Others have challenges that are remarkably unbelievable in which death is a better option to have.

Today was an alright day because I was not tired all day and I think that I got all of my work done today. I get to spend my money today with my tracker because I just got my work paycheck . I think that I lost my shirt today, the summit high school shirt. They gave it to us this morning so that all of the kids in the school would actually where them. I only wore mine this morning but I took it off and that’s when I lost it. I am happy now because we don’t really have to do any work in class today besides this blogg. I got one more month until my court date and I cant wait until than. I know that my court date will go all good. All I need to do is do good in school and keep my grades up. I also need to find another job because I think that I lost this one because there was too many people working. I think that it sucks really bad because I had a home visit on the eighteenth and if I don’t have a job that I wont be able to go. So right now I am on a hunt for a job. I tried turning in a few applications but I haven’t had any luck yet.

My new life
So I have been in this new home for two weeks today. It has been ok so far,
I really wish I was still there. I don’t really fit in they are more high class and all they do is lay around. I really am starting to miss being home even if it wasn’t perfect. I guess it hits you in the butt how good life is when you live at home.

Prom it was cool I’m glad I decided to go because I had fun. That was the first time I have went to prom. I’ve had chances to go to others but I always went and got drunk instead. Everybody looked good at prom and a lot more people came then I thought there was going to be. I just wish I wasn’t in Procter care for it. I wish I could have wired my baby blue suit but it had a hole in it and I didn’t now it tell it was too late. But it was kind of different that they had games. They didn’t that many good songs slum were good but not all. The supervision were cool and mostly all of them dressed up for it and danced too and I thought that was cool that they started to dance and stuff with us.

When I was little I used to dream about life when I was older. Now that I am older I am thinking about being younger. I thought about what I would be and how I would get there. Getting married and all of that good stuff. I thought everything would work out as I thought when I was little. As I got older I started to think clearer and know that not everything would happen the way I wanted to. Now that I am 18 years old I am getting a wake up call. Having to pay things I knew I would have to pay but not as soon as it came. It seems like life goes by faster then we think. As time goes by we think it is slow but as we look back we wonder where all of the time went. This year hasn’t been my favorite yet as I look in the past it seems as if it has gone by so quickly. Not noticing how much things go on that we don’t realize. Making friends that have stuck with you for as long as you can remember; the laughs and the crying. It all makes memories that stay with everyone no matter who you are. As time goes on you will not realize how fast life is passing you by if you are noticing every moment like it is your last.

Music enters your soul like cheeses cake enters a fat kid. Music is great
Some of the best music was in the 60s and 70s like zeppelin or pink Floyd

That bitch yoke ono made them brake up. But people still listen to there music
Because there kick ass. But I also love john Lennon stuff why he was bye him self I

Narrative: Body Paragraphs
The day started out with my dad and me working on his jeep, but we started to argue and didn’t agree about how the engine goes in it and how we can make it work. We always argued, but the next day we didn’t argue this day so he asked me to go with him to salt lake with him. So we got packed and got the drugs to go to his friends with him. He lat me drive the car to salt lake, we was having a good time.
We got to Provo and we decided to eat and I things to talk about but I didn’t know how to tell him so I put it off. So we ate and then we went and out and spent a lot of money on jewelry, four wheelers and other things that we didn’t need. The day was still good and we finally arrived at his friend’s house and they went to the other room will I stayed out in the living room. I hired yelling and then I seen my dad fall in front of me and his face was all messed up. One of the guys got on top of him and started to hit him so I punched the guy in the face. Then they stared to hit. More and more people stated to hit us and they pulled out their guns and dragged us out side into a alleyway. I thought we were going to die so I decided to tell him.
He finally just flipped out and jumped up and started to hit some of the people and one fell. My dad took his gun and fired at another guy, that’s when they all took off and then he looked at me with the gun in his hand saying,” who is pregnant?” He had a crazy look in his eyes so I was scared to tell him that he is going to be a grandpa. but I told him. He didn’t say anything he just dropped the gun and said, “let’s get to the hospital.” At the hospital we talked about it and that’s the first time I’ve ever seen him cry in front of me. He had mixed emotions he just said as long as you are happy I will always be there for you.

We got to Provo and we decided to eat and I things to talk about but I didn’t know how to tell him so I put it off. So we ate and then we went and out and spent a lot of money on jewelry, four wheelers and other things that we didn’t need. The day was still good and we finally arrived at his friend’s house and they went to the other room will I stayed out in the living room. I hired yelling and then I seen my dad fall in front of me and his face was all messed up. One of the guys got on top of him and started to hit him so I punched the guy in the face. Then they stared to hit. More and more people stated to hit us and they pulled out their guns and dragged us out side into a alleyway. I thought we were going to die so I decided to tell him.
He finally just flipped out and jumped up and started to hit some of the people and one fell. My dad took his gun and fired at another guy, that’s when they all took off and then he looked at me with the gun in his hand saying,” who is pregnant?” He had a crazy look in his eyes so I was scared to tell him that he is going to be a grandpa. but I told him.

4 robberies
Well I robbed four people to provide for my drug addiction. I let my addiction get out of control. I was using cocain and I ran out of money to buy more. So when that happened I had to make a choice either to quit or go out and rob four people and so I chose to go and rob the four people to get money to provide and contribute to my drug addiction.
On some days I regret what I did and other days I am clad that I did it. Im clad I did it because I would not be were I am now I would probably be dead or strung out on the corner or dead. An on the days when I regret what I did I really wish I didn’t do it because that year and a half I did was not easy if you if you have ever done a year and a half straight.

“I want to stay with you, I promise not to get in your way,” she said: without a thought I said “that sounds good with me little mama with a salacious smirk”. On our way out something did not feel right, but ignored the intuition. And as quick as heart beat came out the two females that I had been talking with for some time.
“What the F**K IS THIS S**T C-ZAR we are not good enough or what” both screaming Alicia and Sammy. Lila being in state of shock oblivious on what is happening leaned over asked, “what is going on here C-zar”? Standing there dumbfounded for a second finally saying its not what it portrays.
Then with a vigorous sarcastic tone Sammy said okay tell us C-zar what in the hell is you doing with this b*** huh. Now all three of them looking at me like a bunch of vultures waiting for a chance to peck my tongue

How we meet
I was a cheerleader at Kearns high. Ismael was on the basketball team and was known around the school. I saw him before and I thought he was cute and I wanted to talk to him but I was to shy to talk to him. Wednesday after school we had a game playing against Hunter High and we lost the game. Ismael was mad that they lost to them. I saw that he was mad so I walked up to him and said nice game and he looked up and smiled. He asked me “ what’s your name?” I said “ Aubrey”. I began to blush and looked down.
He said “ I’ll see you later” “ ok bye”
Saturday I went to a party at my homeboy Chino’s house.

Narrative: Body Paragraphs
The day we left is the day I will always remember. Everyone is crying and hugging. My dad and my brother are packing up the motor home. My sisters upstairs not wanting to come outside. My mom is giving us a last hug good bye before we go on our way. My dad starts the motor home and we start our way to the desert.
The day started to become the night. All we thought about the whole ride was leaving our mom. We arrived at my dads parents house around dinnertime or so. They were kind enough to let my dad, brother and I stay with them until my dad found us a house to stay in. My grandparents watched us while my dad worked for weeks at a time. They enrolled my brother and I in school and got us started with everything that we needed to do.
My brother and I got to visit our mom in Riverside every other weekend. My dad lived about two hours away so they both would drive half way. We would always meet at the chicken house and have lunch before my mom would drive us to her house. Each time we were able to see her it made the week so much better. I looked forward to those weekends a lot. During the week, I would think of things I would be able to do with my mom so that we got the best out of each visit.
After a couple of years after the split made dad had made a decision. He wanted to move to Utah with his new girlfriend. We weren’t allowed to see our mom as much because it was to far for us to go. So we tried to call her all of the time. After we moved I started getting into a lot more trouble and having even more problems. I only have gotten to see my mom about three times and I’ve lived in Utah about five years. But I call her as much as I can to see how everything is.

Narrative Introduction
My introduction of my life
Well when I was 16, I decided that I would be cool to go and do four aggregated armed robberies. I wanted drugs and alcohol that is what I wanted to do with my life. Things have changed now that I had done a year and a half in juvenile prison called Decker lake youth center. It was a good experience for me. I learned a lot about what could happen to me if I would have went to prison. I would not be here writing this paper and doing this assignment just an example. I would not see the light of day for 20 to 60 years that’s what I could have gotten if I would have got charged as an adult. I would be stuck for a long time but its all good to me. I did what I did and I cant change that the fact that I did it so yea.

Introduction of my life
Have you had a weird vibe that you knew cant be explained, but knew it was something that simply cant be right? That’s what I felt on a chilly November night walking from a concert with a female I just met. We had a good time at the concert with each other. Before the show came to a closing I offered her ride home. She accepted my offer. While in the process starting my car I found out the engine blew out.

Inner peace, it’s hard to find when you are only 10 years old and your mind is being constantly manipulated by your own step dad. Maybe he did it because of his own insecurities. Or maybe it really was my fault, and I was just too young to put the puzzle together. Now that I have been blamed for so I long I cant help but always blame my self for things.

Me and Ismael’s relationship
“ Hurry up, we’re going to miss the show.” said Ismael from the living room. “ Today of all days you want to go to the movies this early.” If it only were sometime later after work.” So we don’t have to rush to go to the movies. “ Aubrey lets go we have to go.”
This was the beginning of the day that I wish would have never happened.

“Kids stop running in the house!” Mom starts yelling at all of the kids that are playing tag in the living room. “Kids listen to your mother, Reece and Kelsee please come here”. Dad is telling us to go to the kitchen. We thought that we were in trouble because we didn’t listen to their instructions. “We need to talk to you both real quick… Please sit down.” My brother and I sat on our parents lap and waiting for them to start talking to us. As soon as we sat down, they held our hands and the tears started to come down everybody’s cheek.

“Dad, she’s pregnant.” I said as I lay down on the cold concert in an alleyway, with my dad lying next to me. With a group of people around us with guns pointing at our bodies. Every time one of us said something, we get hit a crossed the face with a barrel of a gun. Thoughts go racing throw my mind. Our knuckles are bloody as well as our face. There’s blood draining down through the alleyway, a mix of theirs and ours. I just want to go home, but the way it looks is we are going somewhere but not home. Tears run down my face as one of the guys grab me. My dad says get your hand off my son. Then smack he got hit in the face with a gun. They beat me and threw me down by my dad. My dad looks and me and said, “Who’s pregnant?” I said, “Who do you think?”

Someone that’s different then the rest. Someone that’s from the west. They dress different, so they’re weird. They are full of hate, so everyone decides they don’t want to be their mate. They listen to different music, and go against what most believe. When their not around what a relieve. Chooses not to believe the set standard of society, chooses to be free, to be independent, open minded, their own person. But since their not like you, have different opinions and views, your hate for them worsens.

Pain
She sits there all alone
Everyone looks but says nothing
She always goes to school with her head down
Tears roll down her face
Others look and stare
Not knowing what she’s going through
She asks for help
But others turn away
She tries her best to fit in
She realizes that everything goes against her values
She cry’s herself to sleep
And wakes up to find herself in the same pain
She tries to escape the pain
But it won’t leave her side
She thinks about her ex
Wondering when can she move on
She thinks about her baby girl
Always crying because she’s not with her
She tries to help others and save them
But they don’t understand the words she speaks
But at the end she realizes that she can only save herself.

I hate a lot of things. I hate the fact that the media brain-washes its viewers, so you only see one side of the story, or that some stories don’t get put on because they won’t get more views, or won’t interest the public. I hate how our government lies to us, brainwashes its people, into making them believe what they want them to believe. I hate how a bunch of people can just start a war, and terrorize other countries for reasons they made up, and for actions their responsible for. I hate the lies, the corruption, the evil of this nation.

Your booty just to
Get high its sad that

Its true cuz you screw
Your self in the end
Its sad to see you high
In the past you have
Died on me before
I just cant take the
Pain anymore.

Jail
Jail? I never actually thought that I could ever write a paper on being in jail for seven days. When a person has never been through that experience, they may think that it’s a harsh place that no one could survive unless you are hard on the inside. But I’m not going to lie, I am a softy and I went and survived. Jail is bad enough that you don’t want to go back, but it’s not like any of the horrible stories I thought it would be.
When a person gets “booked” in, they sit in a holding cell until the nurse is ready to see them. When the nurse is ready to see the person the door clicks open with a buzzing noise followed by a loud bang and the deputy, guard, or whoever will direct you where to go. When the nurse calls you in, he/she will ask all the regular questions any doctor would want to know before you went in to see him. But it is mandatory for the nurse to give you a TB shot to make sure that you are not infected. If the area around where the shot injected fluid into you turns dark brown or black and creates a bump then they will know if you have it. I didn’t meet any one who had it so I am pretty fortunate.
We, my seven roommates and I, sat in our cell and slept all day pretty much. We get woken up around 6 am and go through head count, which is where the guard or whoever is working will come in our dorm and say our last names and we would say here just so she would know we were all there, then we wait for meds. When we are done taking our meds, we waited for breakfast, which is really nasty. Usually for breakfast we had this yucky oatmeal with sugar water poured onto it and maybe a boiled egg, hard toast and milk. Right after we are done eating, we have to clean our room. Then we slept until we could get out of our room.
When we were let out of our room, we got to either read, watch t.v. or play board games or make a collect call to someone who will accept the call. But that is at least one day in jail. The nights are cold and the showers are embarrassing. The toilet is right there in front of all of your roommates to see. I guess if you don’t care to go to the bathroom or shower in front of people ,or like nasty food , or like to do nothing all day then jail is the place for you. But it is definitely not the place for me.

A bottle tells me to come back its my life my dreams I drink. The bottle is evil with a label. I say no don’t come to me. Stay away, it keeps coming closer to my heat more then my hand. I give in the liquid flows threw my body like blood flows threw my veins. The liquid in the bottle burns. It’s a killer to the kidneys they scream but not like my liver begs me to stop. I drop to my knees to beg like a dog hailing to the moon. I ask god to help. My shirt is ripped the smell keeps the flies away. As I cry.
Its dark only the moon is shining as I cry in a ally. I keep falling like a wounded solder but I’m not a hero. The bottle falls with me. It’s glued to my hand. I’m killing my self but it fills good. The bad goes away only good fillings to me. A kid sees me she starts crying in the dark I'm ashamed I know that girl. It’s my daughter that’s crying. We’re in hell and I’m the devil.

This picture brings to mind a very peaceful feeling. It reminds me if the way things are supposed to be. Like not disturbed by people, very natural. I could enjoy the sounds of birds and the water. I love to feel the sun on my face and take hikes. This seems like the perfect place to do these things. My perfect day would be spent in a place like this or in any natural peaceful place. It is a very beautiful place. I figure if we could go back and really look at how nature can affect the mood of a person, we wouldn’t as a race be destroying so many forests to build houses on because we as a people are naturally selfish. I thoroughly enjoy nature. it is a good place to think with no materialistic noises no car horns, angry screaming people, smoke stacks polluting the air, there is nothing but simplicity. For me it is very pleasing and peaceful.

Life poem
They tell you life is all about glamour, money, and fame. They say that if you buy those one-hundred dollar shoes you will become insanely famous, that if you buy
A fifty-thousand dollar suit you will be like James Bond and get all the girls. But that isn’t life.
Real life is watching your best friend die from a gunshot, parents doing drugs just
A room away, and there is no one to, no one to care. It’s drowning in an ocean of
Depression, sinking farther and farther down not knowing if your swimming up or
Down but knowing, dying for a breath of fresh sweet air.
And just as you hit the sand and begin to slowly sink through it and into that black
Void a hand comes down and pulls you up. It could be someone taking you to
Prom, or getting to say “I do” at your wedding, it would simply be your baby’s first smile.
These are the breaths of air to keep going. Money is just something to help
You survive in this world, the past is gone, the future a distant promise, but the present is a gift worth savoring.

Hollow walls
Deep down in the water,
So far you can’t see.
Don’t want to come up,
Don’t want to breath.
Looking for the stuff I want,
Looking for the stuff I need,
Looking for this,
Beneath you and me.
You knew I was there when you said hi,
You knew I was there when you said goodbye,
Now its time to say hello,
So don’t say goodbye.
I’m just another lost soil looking inside,
Looking inside those hollow walls,
Take a step inside and watch us fall.
Fall so far you can’t see,
Fall so far you don’t want to breathe.
We finally hit the ground beneath our feet.
We look around at the wonderful scenery,
As if we long for love again.
Wrap my arms around you and love again.

I think that hamlet was going to say when he died is to tell his story because he thinks that his story is very important of all the stuff he did in his life. I think that he is dead and cannot talk any more. Which explains why, because dead people cannot talk. I think that Hamlets friend herotio is sad because of hemlets death. I think that the moral of the story in hamlet is that murder is wrong and is looked down upon and that its eye for an eye. So if you kill someone then you should be killed. The theme is think is that vengence isn’t always sweet. Hamlet seeked revenge for his father and it just led to more blood shed and deaths. I think that I didn’t get anything out of hamlet, because hamlet is really boring and confusing, even in the modern verson, its still very hard to understand and I just don’t like it.

Music influences
Music can have a lot of meaning depending on the subject.
Music can also have a huge impact on a person. And whoever thinks otherwise needs to wake up. Look at all of the gang influence with some rappers. Us teens have impressionable minds. We see these big time rappers making money by talking about sex and drugs and being in gangs and how they just float through life kicking it with their homies. We think this is real and try to be more like them and kids screw themselves and get unrealistic ideas on how to live life. Don’t get me wrong you can be whatever you want people just need to realize that you may have to work for it.

Well I believe freedom is very important. I believe that we should be willing to fight for our freedom as well. The reasoning for this is if America is good enough for us to live in peace and freedom, then it should be good enough for us to put our life on the line like so many of our fellow Americans have done. I believe it is our right as well as our responsibility to help us remain free. I believe in order to live in complete safety we have to go through the rough times and that is part of what makes freedom so great. Think about it if every thing was easy would we really appreciate any thing we have? If we earn what we get then do you think we would take things for granted as much? I think not. Although many people enjoy having freedom they feel no responsibility to keeping us such. In my opinion that is wrong.

Freedom
Freedom to me is doing what you want. I could make my own decision and I also could make my own consequence. But mostly freedom is worth fighting for. If I had to give my life for freedom I would because it would not be my freedom anymore, but it would be my daughters, my family’s freedom. I think America has the most freedom then anywhere because it gave my family freedom and a job. Without freedom I don’t think we could do have the things we do know like go to school, get a job. Like in Germany when Hitler was alive the kids would have to solute him every time they went out the door. If we didn’t have freedom maybe we would have to do something like that.
So when I think of freedom I think about all the people that gave their lives for us to do, what we do, and of all the people that are fighting for us, I also think of how may people in my family that fought for my freedom.
By Joshua
Freedom to me is doing what you want. I could make my own decision and I also could make my own consequence. But mostly freedom is worth fighting for. If I had to give my life for freedom I would because it would not be my freedom anymore, but it would be my daughters, my family’s freedom.

Freedom is just a word, but the meaning of the word is amazing; it opens eyes, souls, and there can be many definitions to this one word through many opinions. Foster kids are especially fond of this word and the meaning of this word and where this word “freedom” can take them. The most important goal to most of the foster kids is to have their freedom given back to them. Every goal that a foster kid has has to do with freedom. For them being let out of the system aka foster care, proctor, or any other program that they were forced to be in is the most exciting experience to them. Most of the people in programs or in the system have a lot of anger because they are not comfortable without the freedom that they deserve. Freedom is apart of everyone’s happiness.

My experience here at summit high school
Well my experience here at summit is good so far. I hope it stays that way and making friends here is good. I already know some people that go here that are in my program. I’m getting to know some new people and I hope that some of the new people that I meet will help me stay focused so that I can get termminated and off parole. So I can do things better and not be prison bound. I think that this school will help me in many ways like graduating and starting with new friends. I know that some kids here have been through some of the same situations that I have. It’s hard to do better, put the past behind, and do good things for life, when the only things you know are the streets and getting into troubble. In my opinion this school will help me do good. One reason is the people because I haven’t seen so many people willing to change in the same little community. Most people here are willing to help one another and get them trought the tough times and that’s cool. What I mean about people willing to change and help one another is when, I was in Decker Lake people were always set on going to prison and fighting. It was a hostle enviroment and we were locked down a lot of the time so there really wasn’t time to help one another so yea.

Do you fill old? Because I fill old. Like for me I fill old because I have two kids that are 3 and 4 years old. I know people that are in there 30’s that have kids that are the same age. When I tell somebody I have a 3 and a 4 year old they say god your old or they say how old are you. I also done thing that teen usually don’t do. Like I’m also more mature then most 18 year old and I’ve been able to go places, see thing that 30 year olds do and got to see in there life time. Me going to graduate from high school make me fill old too. So that’s how I fill a lot of the times and it just makes me fill old. Like all I need to do know is to get marred then I will be old not just fill old.

Hamlets attitude toward Gertrude and Ophelia is not that good he was an ass to them. He treated them like crap. When he does treat them good he doesn’t treat them like that for long. He treats them good when he does and he is really nice to them and respectful when he is nice to them. He gives them attitude, he also is not respectful and he says things to make them mad and to insult them. Like to his mom he says thing about his dad like to make her mad.
To Ophelia he was rude to her and he also pushed her a lot. He would say things that would make her mad and he would say thing to her that would make her cry.
He would tell her that he doesn’t love her. But I think he did it just because he wanted people to think he is crazy. But he was also nice to her and showed a lot of emotions to her.
To his mom he is not acting he is really mad at her because she marred his uncle and he says thing that will make her mad. He would want to make her mad not by saying it he would also do thing like the play he did for his mom and his step dad.

“There may be as many as 300,000 child soldiers, on drugs and caring AK-47s, in more than fifty conflicts around the world.” Ishmael Beah used to be one of them. He is one of the first to tell his story. This young boy who is now a man, spent three years of his life in the African army. He became an orphan and watched his parents get murdered. At age thirteen he was abducted and forced to join the army. Three years he killed more people than he can count, used drugs and alcohol and it wasn’t just the light stuff. At age seventeen he fled from the African army and came to New York City. He was then put into foster care and weighted to become someone’s son.
The reason for me telling you this is not to focus on the negative. Instead, look at the challenges and obstacles that he has had to overcome. You know it’s selfish to think that we have it bad and our lives can’t get any worse, we say that we are in a depression. No money, gas prices go up and banks close but if you really look at it we’re still living large. Food on the table, clothes on our backs nice cars and even money. Compared to Africa who has not nearly enough food to feed their families, clean water to drink and only a few have cars and not the nice ones.
So if you think you have it bad, just remember that there are other people in other countries that have it worse.

I think that the topic of death will have a different meaning at different points in each person’s life. For me I figure that we will all die at some point so why fear the inevitable. After my mom died, when I was 11, I have become fascinated with death. I thought that it was tragic how fast hamlet died not really getting a chance to do much. I think this is mostly because he died so young. I feel like I can kind of relate to him from a child’s standpoint. There were so many opportunities that hamlet missed. I mean was he like in his 20’s. I don’t know but he didn’t get to have children of deal with raising them. He didn’t get to be a parent. There were just so many things he didn’t get to do. I am empathetic to him and his situation. Although it is very fascinating how it happened, I would like to know more about it. Like how exactly the poison works and why it was chose for him to die that way as apposed to by a sword or maybe even a sly sneaky way. I find it fascinating the way Shakespeare could put this together like he did.

Every Valentines Day in the past has sucked. I usually am in a relationship but then miraculously we break up and then I am all-alone. I like Valentines Day for the most part. I think that Valentines Day is a special day to a lot of people, and it is dedicated to showing the person you love/like how much you care for them. I don’t have any traditions other than what everyone else seems to do. The exchanging of cards, and love notes. I was hoping to go with my boyfriend tomorrow, but that fell through.
My dream Valentines Day is to be in a stable relationship, and do some romantic things. I want to have a romantic candle lit dinner with soft music playing in the background. We would toast to our love with some warm glasses of wine. Afterwards I would cuddle with my loved one until the sun goes down.

So what is betrayal well there are a lot of different ways to put betrayal because everyone has a different out look on that word.
Like to me it’s when someone dose something that will hurt that other person in some kind of way, that would be betrayal.
So if I was on the run and I told my brother and trusted him and then he turned me in that would be betrayal on his end to me.
That’s how I would fill about it.
We are reading about hamlet and he has these to friends that were sent down there to try to see what is making hamlet so mad.
And every day they have to report to the king what they fined out about his madness.
See to me that is betrayal in a small way because their just there, to report to the king not to see hamlet and that’s wrong.
As there doing this to hamlet its just making thing worse on hamlets end because of all of this just makes sending hamlet away ok.
And then there is ophilia and matt wants to know how she will react to the news of her fathers’ death.
Well sense I have read this play before I now that she end’s up going crazy at the sight of seeing her father lying there dead and knowing that hamlet killed him that drives her to loss her mined.
And that all I got to say about all of this stuff.

Cell Phones
Cell phones should be banded from schools. They are very distracting. Students can cheat. And cell phones also can be disrespectful or can be stolen.
First cell phones can be used for cheating. It could be used a calculator. Students can also text answers for a test or quiz. Or students can take pictures of the answer sheet.
Also cell phones can be a distraction. Students can get online and shop for games, clothes or ring tones. Students can text someone else in that class or in another class. Students can take pictures.
Some people want cell phones in school for emergencies. Some caseworkers like to be in touch with their kids and let them be involved. I think it’s also good to have it in case you need to get a hold of someone last minute.

School should not get out on Thursdays and be out on Fridays. For one kids need all the education they can get, two it would probably increase the trouble that teens tend to get into, and finally because there is no real benefit to it.
Kids need to attend school in order to acquire the education that is needed to get by in this world. The less time you spend on reviewing your work and learning, you have a greater chance at being unsuccessful. Some things that didn’t require a certain levels of skill and education require it now.
Not going to school on Fridays could help increase the likelihood of trouble that teenagers get into over the weekends. The more time teens have to slack off, the more chances they have to act out negatively. It would only worsen the way things already are.
There is no real point to not having school on Fridays. The only reasons why teens would want that option is to sleep in and have more time to do “fun” things, when all it’s really doings is depriving you. This option would just add to the people who are confused about schoolwork, and it wouldn’t help the homework load that they take home.
School should not be out on Fridays, all its doing is taking away from your opportunities and abilities of having a successful life. It will decrease your knowledge and increase the proneness of doing unsuccessful things.

Well I listen to all kinds of music. My favorite is rap because I like how they rhyme on the beat. I also like it because they make a lot of sense. What makes music really bad is when they do not time there notes right with the beat. Or there words don’t make any sense at all. They also suck when they are trying to be cool, when they are not really being cool. Emo music sucks because they just inspire people to cut themselves. Emo music is nothing good at all it is killing people. Emo music also sucks because you can not even understand them at all. It sounds like they are just screaming in the music. I love music because it is what gets me out of a mind state and it also helps me out by getting through the day. Music helps a lot of people to some people it is there life. Also some people think that if they had no music then they would not be able to live.

The drinking age should be lowered. The reason I chose to have it lowered because it will help some people out. For example if they don’t lower it then the underage will just find it some other way. If you don’t then we are just going to drink it anyways. I think that if you lower it then a lot of people will like it.
In the military you get to drink at the age eighteen. I think it is dumb if they get to drink at eighteen and we don’t get to drink. I think that since we are eighteen then that means that were an adult and we should be able to make are own choices. We also will have to take full accountability for anything that happens.
Kids are going to drink anyways. Kids don’t really care if you do lower they are just going to have somebody else buy it for them. Some people like to drink for fun. Some people just like to drink to fit in. Some people drink to talk more. Everybody has a different reason to drink.

I like a lot of music all most all music. I do though hate Slim Anus (eminem), 50 Pennies and Dr. Gay! I mainly listen to Psychopathic Records. You know like Insane Clown Posse Anybody Killa Twiztid KMK stuff like that. Cyprus Hill all that. I even listen to country and rock techno everything and just about anything. I don’t really care what it is as long as I like it. And if I don’t like it I don’t listen to it. I just like stuff I like or can relate to it and like it. You know cause you’re not going to listen to some thing u don’t like. I don’t care if you like it or not. And the people that don’t I do I don’t care keep it to your self-cause I don’t complain or care about what you like! Everyone likes what he or she likes.

Why I’m for school starting later
When it comes to this topic there are more pro’s then cons that I can talk about.
Why I think that school should start later.
For one we as teens need more sleep that’s a proven fact. Us teens we stay up tell about
12-2 in the morning doing homework and recovering from work.
to be able to function in the morning we need our sleep.
Number two when we are more a wake we are more prepared for what is coming our way. And when we are more prepared we are more alert when it comes to us paying attention and that help us learn better.
See when we are not a wake we do things that are disrespectful when it comes to school. We will fall asleep we will talk we will text our friends in the next class
We will talk back to the teacher.
See but when we are more awake we will be ready to listen to what the teacher has to say. We will do are work in class. We are more active when it comes to the conversation in class.
They reason why I’m fore school starting later. is that I think that if we get more sleep we won’t be as disrespectful we will ready to learn what we need to learn.

The driving age should not be lowered. Some reasons are not responsible enough, money, and may cause more wrecks.
First is the teen is not responsible enough. The teenager will have to start knowing where to check the oil and they have to start checking it. They will also have to start working to get money to pay for gas and other things, but some aren’t responsible enough to get a job or to keep a job.
Second is they will have money issues. They will have to pay for the insurance it will be high to pay. Another is they will have to pay for check ups on the car. They also may have to work hard to get a job for the money to pay for the things; they will have to be responsibly enough to pay for the things.
Some people may say they should bring down the driving age. They can do errands for their parents. It will teach them how to be responsible.
Finally the teens could cause more wrecks. They aren’t responsibly enough to pay attention to the road and other objects. They could be playing on their cell phones or with the radio to cause a wreck. They wouldn’t take driving seriously.
Those are the reasons why they should not lower the driving age.

So on January 21, I went to a play its called Room Service with the school. It was really funny. I sat by Kirra and Ty, and we got into trouble for whispering. So at like intermission the people in front of us were all like “can you please not whisper when the play is on because we can hear it and it’s annoying.” I was like ok whatever crazy person. So like I’m kinda glad I went I got to get away from all the drama at home, and I got away with not doing homework. So I got to the play and it was crazy, it was way to many people there. So the play was like bout this play writer making this play for these people, and how they don’t have enough money and how they kind of struggle to make ends meet. So after the play all the cast was out there, and I got to meet them and it was really cool it sounded like they enjoy what they are doing.

Lowering the drinking age
Drinking is bad for the body if the person has too much alcohol in them. The drinking age should either stay the same or be upped. People should be wiser, more knowledgeable about the effects of alcohol, and be willing to take responsibility for their actions before being able to drink. To support my argument I have three reasons:
First, although some people would stop drinking because they only drink to rebel, those who like drinking would drink more. There would be more accidents because those who like to drink would get drunker and could cause more accidents due to their drunkenness. People would also drink more because authority can’t catch them for it. People still in school would drink causing trouble in the classroom where others are trying to learn. People barely learning to drive or not very good at driving would create more accidents because they can’t control the car very well with blurred senses.
Second, younger people wouldn’t have to break the law to go against their parents. Younger people would drink because it goes against their parent’s expectations and morals, and because they want to seem independent of their parents. People that are still underage could claim they are older. People could also claim that it’s their right to drink because the state said. Nothing is a person’s right until they earn it.
And third, some people would use the law against itself. People could say they are aloud to drink and the authority can’t do anything about it. People could say the law isn’t firm if it gets changed. People could also push the legislature by saying ‘you changed it once, you can change it again’.
To conclude, people don’t really get why they shouldn’t drink. People have hazed senses when they drink and could be a bigger harm to society if the drinking age is lowered. People could also be driven be those hazed senses and the liking of alcohol to push the legislature farther than they want to. If the drinking age were to be lowered people who like to drink would complain, or for some, rebel if it were to be upped to what it is. For these reasons, the drinking age shouldn’t be lowered.

Music
I really like old music and new soft music. I don’t like the way some songs sound/ flow. Some of the music we have now days, I would not think to be actual music, kind-of like rap.
I don’t like rap because it doesn’t have very much music, if any at all.
Rap has its flow in the words and I think that a lot of rap runs more like wannabe gangster. I like songs that have their flow in the music/melody.
What I would classify as a bad song is a song that has no meaning or feelings behind it. What makes a song suck is when the artist doesn’t want to play/sing the song or the song was played only because others, and not the singer, wanted it.
I don’t think genre matters in a song, aside from a way for some people to define which songs they like or don’t like. There are good songs in every genre.

So lately I have had a lot going on in my life. Therapy hasn’t been going that great. Everyone on my team seems to be against me. I try to explain myself and why I do the things I do, but they assume total different reasonings. If the team meetings are about me and for me shouldn’t I have a say in how my meetings go? Not only do my meetings go bad but my home life has been going down the drain. Ever since I said I don’t want to take my pills anymore. My foster mom wants me to take my pills to benefit everyone else on my team and foster home. I don’t think I should have to do something. I don’t like in order to please everyone.

I’m in to most music, and I will listen to different bands and types of music and I will take it in and listen to what they have to say.
And see most people won’t do that they mostly stick to one type of music And that’s all.
And see when it comes to me I think that people that do that are just close minded
I just don’t like that at all.
What makes bad music? I don’t think that there is bad music out there. to me what makes music is a beat and some words that have some meaning see that’s music.
Is there a genre of bad music no all music is good you just have to listen to the lyrics and take it in.
Most words are good if you just listen to what they have to say they all have meaning.

Relationships
One of the things that are most important in relationships is trust. You have to have trust if you want to even be in a relationship with somebody. Being with someone that you like is an amazing thing, but sometimes it can be very difficult. People get into arguments. It is your choice on how you deal with that argument. Usually relationships start as friends and then go up in stages almost. I personally love to be in a relationship because I feel secure. I am not sure why, but I feel better. You have to put 100% into a relationship for it to work. People say that you should each put half in it, but I think you need to put all that you have into it. However, I also think that you need to work as partners. I know it can be hard at times, but those times are the ones that make your relationship stronger. This is just my opinion, and if you think a different way that is fine. Everyone thinks different; especially on this topic. Not all relationships work out the way that you want. Some times when you fall in love you get into a hard fall. You live and learn. When some relationships go wrong you have to try really hard to get back up… but when you do, you know what to do for the next time. Yes sir.

How long does it take to get over your lovers death? Will you remarry?
I don’t know it is up to the person on how long it will take. I haven’t been there. I think I would die right after her. I don’t know if I could handle it all alone. If I had any kids I would do my best. I would need to help them, take care of them. I don’t think I would remarry at all. But “poo” happens so I can’t really say what I would do. But for shour it would suck! I would hate it so much! But life will go on some time I guess.

The Ghost
I believe that the ghost is neither malevolent nor benevolent. I would believe it to be benevolent except that it wants Hamlet to take revenge on his uncle, Claudius.
I think it’s more malevolent because of its wants.
I believe it to be Hamlet’s decision as to whether the ghost’s visit is made malevolent or benevolent. I believe that, if Hamlet takes revenge on Claudius, then the ghost’s visit was made malevolent, and if Hamlet doesn’t, then the ghost’s visit was made to be it’s own decision.
The ghost is going to tell Hamlet that Claudius killed him by pouring a poisonous vial into King Hamlet’s. It will change Hamlet’s reasoning for why he does things.
Hamlet will act like he’s going insane to deceive those around him because it’s easier to kill the King if nobody suspects you of anything.

Well they should always have memories of the one that passed away. You can cry if you want to. You also got to remember the more you do that the more you are going to make it harder on yourself. It is also makes it hard to do things right when you are always thinking about it. I have had my aunt and my grandma die on me it really sucks when somebody dies that you really cared about. I have also heard that crying and being depressed a lot after a death. It could also hurt your health. I also know that it is hard to lose somebody you love. The best advice I can give you would be to never forget them but just try as hard as you can to not think about it as much. Also go to there grave and visit them. You also can pray to the lord and ask him to watch over them in heaven. Loosing people you really love is really hard I know from experience just do the best you can. You should also go to there funeral and when they ask if any body has got anything to say then that is when you stand up and say a prayer and anything else you want to say so that it will be with that one you loved forever.

Kind of advice would you give a little brother or sister on dating as there becoming a
Pre teen. Well see this is what I would do I would let them know how boys or girls act.
Then I would tell them what they would need to watch out for in a relationship what is a good sign and what are the bad ones.
What would be the pros and cons of having relationship and what a rill relationship should look like if its real.
And let them know that there will be some hart braking involved and that it will be ok and that it will go a way soon.
And that’s mostly what I would tell them of course I will go deeper in to it all with them and that’s all I got to say.

If I had a little sister and she was ready to date, I would say to her you should wait till you are ready to date. You should get to know them, and about them before you date them. If you date and they hurt you, You will get over it might take awhile but you will find some one better too. Don’t have sex with them especially if you aren’t going to be with them for a long, long time or if you aren’t going to merry them. I would tell my daughter don’t date anybody that I disapprove of. I need to meet them before you go out with them. Don’t have sex with them and if you do, Do not let me heir about it because you will be in trouble. Because you don’t want to get pregnant and have kids when you’re not even in high school yet. It will just make you life a lot harder. You don’t want to be like me and have two kids before you even get to high school.
If I ever had to tell my daughter how it is when she moves out, I would tell her it is hard. Things will get difficult but do not give up. If you ever need anything, you can just call don’t be scared to ask for help because I’m still you dad and I will help you with any thing. If you go to school, it will get hard but it will be worth it because when you are done you will be able to make a lot of money. You will not drop out of school.

So I don’t feel like writing about the subject, so I decided to just go with what’s on my mind. So I have come to a conclusion this week: I hate men and I want then to just disappear because they cause to much DRAMA and HEARTACHE. It’s so not fair when you trust a guy enough to give them love, trust, and even sometimes your heart, and they take it through it in the ground and step on it. I think they need to have more respect for women and not cheat on them and then they think that the women won’t ever find out.
Not always true, it makes me so mad I trusted this guy and he just didn’t care and straight up cheated on me in font of me with me best friend… JURK!!! I’m Sorry to all the guys that aren’t players and that don’t cheat. This isn’t to you guys.

If I could give a younger sister advice about dating and relationships, I would first tell her she shouldn’t rush into anything. I would tell her she should get to know the person before they even think about becoming more than friends. She should take her relationship slowly and only do things that she feels comfortable with and is ready to do. I would warn her of things that could be hard to deal with and share some ways to handle it that helped me. I would advise her on the type of person she should look for, and the qualities that she needs to look for in a person. I would share some dating experiences of mine both good and bad. I want her to be able to make her own decisions but also be able to communicate with the person she is dating.

Love
I believe that the quote from Mama to Beneatha is true because when someone needs love is also the hardest time to love them, but I also think that times like that are the times when love can either break or make a person.
I think that people judge others by what they look like or, if they don’t, then by what their personality is like. I don’t think that people usually judge by why people act the way they do. People need to think about what has happened in others past before they judge their personality.
I think that people expect that others would judge them by what they see and everything after that is altered or different because they had an opinion of you before they got to know you.

So anyways this guy orders a dozen donuts and three 20 oz bottles of milk can you imagine eating 12 donuts that’s crazy. So he sits down right by us, and starts to grub OMG this was scary I thought he was going to eat me next I was spitting bricks. Then he had the iceing all over his mouth and shirt and I don’t know how in the hell he got it on his legs.
