halloween

In my opinion, I think it dumb over all that the kids don't get to dress up for one person's mistake. He didn't realize how many people this costume could have offended. Tons and tons of people lost their lives because of that man he dressed up as. He didn't think about people's feeling or how they would take it before he showed up at school. I think that is just poor character on his part and they shouldn't punish the whole school for a kid's bad attitude on life. He should make a public display of him saying sorry and didn't mean to hurt people. This would probably make a huge difference to the schools plans for the dressing up and his punishment.

invisible

Being invisible is something everyone probably thinks about. How exciting and adventurous your life would be makes people wonder. If I was able to become invisible at any time I would take advantage of any kind of situation. Go to places that people could never step foot on being visible. You could sit there with the president and watch him make decisions in his office without being seen the whole time. The advantages to being invisible overcomes the disadvantages. Your able to do things that normal people can not. Weather it be saving the world or picking up a shirt here and there. The disadvantages are that your self character becomes tempted. Being able to do whatever you want may cause hardship with the fight between your good and bad shoulder. I think over all though that the ability to become invisible would be pretty awesome.

memory

One memory that I can almost feel myself there every time I think back on it is when we got a new member of a family, Dixie Belle. She is our big and very excited boxer. Most people don't really included their dog as part of the family but without her it wouldn't be the same. My parents got a divorce when I was in the fourth grade and we have always wanted a dog but never seem to make time for it. After the divorce we had to start our new lives without my mom so my aunt thought of a wonderful idea to get us a puppy for Christmas. I remember walking in her house that we only visit a couple times a year more excited than normal. Because as soon as we walked in I heard that sweet bark puppies make when they feel alone. My aunt made it a surprise to get us her. One of the most happiest moments in my life is when I seen her run out of her dog carrier my aunt put her in and attack our family with no care in the world. The extreme slobber and tiny paws were the most encouraging thing I've seen in a long while. Dixie really made us tough the divorce out and forget that things probably will never be the same. Still to this day she is like my sister. Has her own little dog bed and blanket and takes care of my own little puppy when I'm not there. The day I got Dixie Belle is something I will never forget.

bonfire

I completely understand how this ruling came about and the decision made by our school, but I still get mad at fact that I've been looking forward to having a bonfire my senior year since I can remember. Now that we can't have one I guess were going to have to tough it out and find new ways to make homecoming just as exciting. This year being the first year of the parade hopefully things will turn out for the better by bringing in the community just like everyone came together for the bonfire. This new tradition might stick or might not. I think it really depends on how fun the town has with it and if the pep rally in front of the football field goes just as good as in front of a flaming fire.

i wish...

I wish there was a law that said that there would be no big end of something test, of any kind. This would be a good law because people today are overwhelmed by tests. Weather it'd be to test your knowledge of a school year or just a section of a book, we surround our school lives around passing a test. TAKS test is just one big thing in the whole chaos of test taking. This puts pressure on students teachers and basically everyone in that matter. So with a law that banded test we would be able to enjoy learning and actually take the time to understand what were needing to learn rather than cramming it in our brains.

fitting in

One catorgory we all can feel the same emotions about is being a "teenager". Like in this story she doesn't really fit in with the blacks nor the whites cause she is a mixture of both culturals. It relates to me in the teenager sort of way. How we aren't really grown up enough to fit in with the adults, but yet can't seem to want to play house with our siblings. Were right there in the middle. Some of us push more to one side or the other. As in some people in our grade still can play video games till their eyes fall out, and some people can consistantly sit down and have a normal conversation with an adult. In my personal part I feel like I push towards more the finally growing up side. I'm able to know what I need to get done and do it to the best of my ablities. But yes, if you get me around people I'm comfortable with you can tell I'm still not ready to become an adult. Bursts of engery still come after candy, and the crashing for hours is still in total effect.

furture journal

In 10 years my life will (or at the moment) still be in college or med school. I’ll have to have a part time job to pay for school and the extra things that come with it. I’d like to have a house or a decent apartment during that time. Family wise, I’m not really sure. It’d have to depend on if I’m married by then, who the husband is, and if we can afford raising a family with me being in school. Hopefully by the year 2018 I’ll know what I want out of life. Like the career path I’m supposed to be on. Not just that though, by then I want to be happy with my choices I’ve made for my future and the choices to come.
