what is the best thing about living where you do?

well i think that the best thing about living where i do is probably that i get to see all the seasons. my cousins live in Florida and they came up here once to visit during the winter and it snowed and they thought that it was so cool because living in Florida where it’s warm all the time they had never seen snow before.

 what makes your school unique?

what makes my school unique is probably Mr. Bogush’s class. before 8th grade i had never herd of a class like his. i never thought that a history class could revolve so much around computers i always thought that the most i would ever use computers would be in a computer class! 

why don’t we have school on Martin Luther King Day?

Well Martin Luther King Jr, born in Atlanta Georgia Graduated from Morehouse College, was destined for greatness. He was a man who stood his ground and fought for what he believed in. He did what thousands of African Americans were too scared to do, he spoke his mind. He touched the hearts of millions and with out him we wouldn’t be the way we are today. He opened our eyes and showed us that we all deserve a chance. He was the one who showed us what monsters we are, that judging people by the color of their skin is barbaric. Even though Martin Luther King Jr wasn’t the only one, he was the biggest one, he was the one who really started to open our eyes and opened the door to the others who came after him.  Assassinated on April 4 1968, Martin Luther King Jr became a legend, and giving students the day off to celebrate his life is showing respect to him. Even though some kids will just see it as a day off they’ll soon realize that it symbolizes so much more then that. If there is no day to remember him by then he will be forgotten and forgetting Martin Luther King Jr would be like forgetting history.

MLKJ QUOTES

“A man who won’t die for something is not fit to live.”

“A riot is the language of the unheard.”

The people who influenced my life the most would have to be my friends.

i know what your thinking, which friend because there has to be one that had the most impact, but really there wasn’t. every single one of my friends influenced me in some way, weather it be something so small as what i should have for lunch that day or something like what i’d do that day. My friends molded me into what i have become, and with out them i don’t know where i’d be today.  they’ve always been there for me, when ever i needed them. If ever i felt sad or mad about something i knew i could count on them to help me because i know they’ll always have my back. my friends have taught me some of the most important lessons i’ve learned, and they’ve help me stay out of trouble. and i know not to do something stupid like run away or something like that because leaving my friends behind would be like leaving a part of me behind. i’d be lost with out my friends, so i’d say that besides my parents they’re the ones who’ve influenced my life the most!

should Brittney really be back??

I DON’T THINK SO! Britney can’t raise her own children why should she be a rolmodel for other peoples children. Singing is about more then going up on a stage and dancing around and just singing silly lyrics, it’s about connecting to people through music and lyrics. Being a singer is about being a role model, most kids don’t look up to their parents or grandparents or people like that but they look up to singers and actors and actresses. And i don’t think a lot of parents would like their kids looking up to Britney! come on, Britney stopped singing for a reason and nothings changed, she should spend more time on her kids and trying to be a good mother then singing. she should give herself a taste of the real world and actually raise her kids and not have someone else do it for her so she can go up on a stage and make a fool of herself! i think Britney should leave her singing career where it stands now, she was a good singer and that’s the way could be remembered, but if she keeps this up she’ll be remembered as the one who wanted to be but couldn’t and left her kids behind in the processes! Britney leave Hollywood with some dignity! so i leave all of you with this one question: do you think Britney should leave and do you think she should keep it up with her come back?

i reasuched cheerleading and i found this blog, i picked it because i felt that i could really relate to some of the things she was saying and i liked the blog. it took me a while to find the right blog, but after it was worth it!

Cheerleading was my passion. While I made and worked on the presentations, I felt as if nothing in the world matter more than what I was dancing and cheering on. Many people teached us cheers that the school had before, and this made us even more better. Right now, I am not a cheerleader anymore. This is so, because Ms. Elsy no longer works in my school. I hope one day, another teacher as good coach as Ms. Elsy teach us even more things, so one day we can become great, and the best cheerleaders ever!

i can really relate to this, i feel the same way, i think cheerleading is the most important thing in the world. when i’m cheering nothing else matters, when i get hurt i get back up and fight through it because i know it will all be worth it in the end. cheering takes alot of determination and hard work and if you don’t like to cheer it’s not going to be something your going to stick with!

Fast Fact

-The Okapi is related to the giraffe and is the giraffe’s only living relative.  The zebra like markings on its hind legs are possibly used as a visual aide for its young to follow it through the forest.

is that the coolest animal you’ve ever seen or what? I WANT ONE!

our oceans and atmosphere are not the only things being damaged rainforest are also being destroyed. their survival, questionable! but unlike other environmental issues the rainforests have received a lot of attention from the public and the media. even though oppositions have been made against cutting down the rainforest people still do. rainforests once covered 14% of the earth now they only cover about 6% and experts say the remaining will be gone in 40 years! one and a half acres are lost every second! almost half the worlds species of plants, animals, and micro organisms will be destroyed or threatened over the next quarter century due to rainforest deforestation. we lose 137 plant animal and insect species everyday! There were an estimated ten million Indians living in the Amazonian Rainforest five centuries ago. Today there are less than 200,000. we are destroying one of our most valuable resources, the rainforests are so important to our everyday lives and we don’t even realize it! so i’ll leave you with one last question what do you think about that and how do we stop it?

ever since i can remember i’ve had this hard spot on my arm, i guess i really didn’t think anything of it because i just thought it’d go away. then when it had been on my arm for about 5 years my mom took me to the doctors to get it looked at. the doctor just said that it was something from a virus i had and it’d go away, but then we realized it was growing down my arm! we went to the doctors again and told them that it hadn’t gone away, and they took another look at it. they at first thought it was thrombosis,(something that chokes your veins) but they weren’t sure so they sent me to a vascular surgeon. he said it definitely wasn’t thrombosis,(thank god!) but he really had no idea what it was. he said it was in my skin and recommended a dermatologist. so a a few days ago i went to see her, she said it was one of two things but she’s really not sure what it could be. she said she will do a biopsy in eight to ten weeks. i’m really scared i guess it’s just the fear of the unknown, because i have no idea whats going to happen. i don’t know much about what my arm could be she really didn’t go into detail about ether of the things she thinks it is, but what i do know is that  one of them i worse then the other and the one that it sounds like is the worse one! i’m not to excited to go back and find out what it is cause i really don’t want to go through surgery! i hope it’s the one i can live with on my arm!
