The holiday I would commemorate will be Peace Day on Earth. On this special day people all over the world will spend time with their loved ones and celebrate that they're alive on Earth. Everyone with jobs will take a day off to celebrate with their families. This will take place on March 23, people will eat pizza, chili fries, and for desert doughnuts. These delectable food choices are chosen because no one can resist them. Everyone will spend time together all day until its the 24th of March. This holiday will bring everyone together and make them realize that peace and love is the only way to live. I believe this holiday will better the world and bring all races together as one.

The best advice that I can remember recieving was from my english teacher Ms. Eddy, as she said when its time to work, work hard, when the work is over have fun and relax. Her advice really helped me get my work done in my classes and not to put off any last minute work. Ms. Eddy says our brains need a balance between work and having fun and I believe every word she says. Before I had Ms. Eddy my work habits were not too well and I was waited until the last minute to finish work, but now I work when im suppose to and later I dont have to worry about it. I will carry on this new work habit and use it to help me get through college.

Do you feel like college is ripping you off?


I believe that college is ripping me off because I believe you dnt need to pay money to recieve a decent education. I dont think your college should take this much money from your students to recieve and education,especially when your students have little money. However, since i have no other option I am willing to pay the amount you request and hope that I have nothing else to pay you. After college I will make sure that I have a great job so I have enough money to pay for my child.

I wake up on a hot sunny mornng getting ready for school while the Ramones music is playing in the background. I start by taking a shower and singing classic songs in the shower, as I get out I check out myself in the mirror flexing what little muscles I have. I get out of the bathroom and put my clothes on and make my bed then I head over to the bathroom again to brush my teeth and spike my hair. After, I walk to school feeling tired and annoyed about school. As I arrive I greet all my friends and go to my first period english class with mybteacher Ms. Eddy. As time passes by school was over and I go hang with my partner in crime David. We walk to my house and we face the biggest problem that we both would never have thought of. Both David and I had wittness a murder take place right in front of our eyes, the murderer spotted us and we began to ran as he chased us in his car. Terrorfied, David and I were running for our lives and this begins our journey to saftey.

My feelings towards the quote: "He does not possess wealth, it possesses him", speaks the truth for many people in the world. The desire to be wealthy and powerful consumes alot of people such as big buisness owners and coporations. The world would be alot better if people were'nt so controlled by money, for example, without money their wouldnt have been any slavery or wars. Slavery in America existed because the slaves produced many valueable goods for consumers,which lead to a great economical soceity in the South. Also, wars are only fought to gain territories and valuables because of the greediness of many leaders from different Nations. I believe that the world will be a better place without people who are controlled by money.

My most valuable contribution to a college campus would be my grades that I recieve in all of my classes. Due to the fact that I am not really a school spirit guy, the best thing I do to for my school is to achieve outstanding school academics. I believe I can achieve this in college because I recieve great grades in my AP classes which are basically college classes. Also, im a responsible man when it comes to school work and i'll study for all ,y eexams in college. This school year so far has showed me that I need to work hard in my classes if im ever gonna make it in college. I beleieve the experiences im facing in highschool will help me in college , also, I believe I can achieve great success on a college campus. When I graduate from college I will be thanking everyone that helped me to be the hard working man I am today.

The friends I chose to associate myself with is one of the best descisions and experiences i've had in my whole life. I feel this way because over the years I have never faced significant problems that have jepordized my realationship with my friends. The group I hang with at school are guys who have fun, make jokes about eacother, and ave eachothers back. I know when im in trouble my friends will always be there for me and help me with my problems and I would do the same. Im not saying that we're the perfect group of friends becuase we're not, we have some arguements with eachoter but we never hold grudges with eachother. Also, the friends I have dont abuse drugs or alcohol when we hang, so that keeps me out of trouble and lets me have a healthy life. If I didnt have friends like the ones I have now I dont know where or who I would be, so I thank God for blessing me with such great freinds.

Journal 17!!!!!!!

An issue that concerns me about this country is all the poor and homeless  people livving on the streets. This issue conserns me alot because I believe that the citizens of the U.S shouldnt leave another fellow citizen on the streets. Someone might say,"thats their fault for being homeless" and I think that everyone deserves a second chance in life. However, I am only a teen and I dont have money to give to these people but in the future I will start helping at the homless shelter by giving them food and clothes. Since my family is religious we believe in helping the poor because thats what our religion tells us to do. I thank God everyday that I have a mom with a steady job and that can support my brothers and I every year and i want the homeless people to feel the same about thier lives.

Journal 18!!!!!!

If I could change two things about the campus I would change the stage and the the painting on the lockers. I would renovate the stage because the stage is old and dirty, also, the tile on the stage is broken and needs repair. The renovation of the stage will make our campus presentable for whoever visits us and looks at our quad. Also, I would change the painting on our lockers because the "new" painting they accomplished this year is horrible. The painting on our lockers look like someone just splashed random red paint on it and didn't take the time to paint it with the intentions on making our school presentable. If I was in charge I would hire actual painters who can do the job well and not just be lazy about it. I believe these new changes will make our school stronger because it shows that we care for the campus and the students who see the campus everyday.
