Haiku

Green leaves falling down
So graceful dancing on wind
change red and hits ground

Hail lands on my porch
the sounds create smooth music
and it melts away

The wind breeze is strong
it carries oceans along
for the ride, high tide!

Volcanoes erupt
spit out liquid flames, magma
Volcanoes explode

Earth is powerful
Its bold, stable, and rocky
Ultimate defense

Fire shoots from hole
casting darkness in the sky
when cooled its harmless

Sand, tiny and hard
It wants to be a pebble
when combined its made
 
Drifting in the sky
It is so weightless and free
Turns grey and makes rain

The tiger is wild
Its claws and fangs, razor sharp
Eye of the tiger

Smashed under pressure
Green blades of death, short wild grass
growing in a field.

Good Habits

" Good habits help improve our physical, emotional, and/or financial health.
Select one of your good haits and write an essay to make that habit a part of
their lives."


A good habit that I have is reading books when I am bored instead of watching
television. I have read many books this month like, Hidden Talents, True
Talents, Buried Talents, I Am Legend, Night, House of the Scorpion, and Zombie
Butts from Uranus. The most interesting book that I read this month is called
Metamorphosis, which is about a man who transformed into a beetle and can no
longer support his needy family. The key to understanding this book is knowing
why the main character, Gregor, feels guilty.


In the book, Metamorphosis, Gregor feels guilty because he can no longer
financially support his family due to his metamorphosis into a giant, beetle-like
insect. Before Gregor's metamorphosis, he was a salesman who used almost all
of his money to support his mother, father, sister, and himself, who all lived in the
same house. Gregor is accustomed to providing his family with the money he
earns as a salesman and his family has a nice life because of it. Everyone
depends on him to make money because they are either too old, too young, or
too sick to work. Gregor feels that since he can't work anymore, he and his
family would have to move out of their home and it would be all his fault.


One of the events that caused Gregor's guilt was when his office manager
came by their house to see why Gregor wasn't at work and his family had to
dissuade the manager from firing Gregor. He felt guilty because he could be at
work and his family wouldn't have to go through so much trouble if he hadn't
transformed into an insect. Gregor also felt guilty when he prevented his sister
and mother from removing his picture frame that was on the wall of his room by
sticking his stomache to the glass of the frame. By doing that, he caused his
mother to faint from his appearance. Gregor bcame even more guilty because
he caused his family alot of stress.


Before Gregor's metamorphosis into a giant beetle, he gets along well with his
family. Since his transformation, most of his family seemed to be disgusted and
somewhat afraid of Gregor, even though he was still the same person they once
knew. Gregor's father is always injuring him in some way like he is upset with
Gregor. He caused one of Gregor's legs to go limp and also embedded an apple
in his back. Gregor's sister is disgusted at Gregor's appearance, but is very
close with Gregor and helps him alot while he is in that state. Gregor's mother
can't stand the sight of him but still attempts to see Gregor even though the rest
of the family doesn't want her to. Gregor's metamorphosis has greatly affected
his family which is why Gregor feels guilty.


Reading interesting books like this one will greatly improve your emotional
health. It wll do so by relieving stress so that you will not worry about all of your
problems. It will also improve your financial health because you can just read
books and educate yourself rather than watching horrible television shows like
Jersey Shore, which will save you lots of money on electricity bills, and maybe
even cable bills. Reading these kinds of books can encourage you to go outside
and excersize if you read an inspirational book about weight loss or something of
that nature. Reading books in my spare time is a big part of my life and it should
be a big part of yours too.

Too much TV

Many poeple believe that television violence has a negative effect on society
because it promotes violence. I agree with this because after watching a violent
movie, I react in one of four different ways depending on the movie I watched. If
I watch a kung-fu movie, I start doing marial arts. When I watch a shooting
movie, I try to shoot like the peoplein the movie. Whenever I watch an action
movie , I re-act the movie. If I watch a spy movie, I act like a spy. I know alot of
other people that do this as well and it could have a negative impact on society.

I was watching Fist of Legend with my cousin. When the movie ended, we
were fighting each other while using martial arts, pretending that we knew what
we were doing. We were kicking things, Karate chopping things, punching
things, and elbowing things. We started doing this to each other and we ended
up fighting for real because we kept hitting each other harder and harder. When
we finall calmed down we noticed that we had broken the glass table and the
vase that was on it. Because of the violent movie we watched we broke some of
the things in the house.

When I was at my friend's house we watched a movie called Wanted. My
friend's little brother went into hiis room and shortly after he came back weilding
a plastic Nerf gun. He kept trying to curve the bullet like the actors did in the
movie. On his fifth attempt at curving the fake bullet the plastic Nerf gun slipped
out of his hand and went crashing into the window, cracking it. The little boy got
a spanking and he never tried curving the bullet again.

One day my brother and I were watching a movie called The Expendables.
Near the end of the movie, we had seen so much action that we started
mimicking the movie scenes. We made so much noise that the next door
neighbor made a complaint about how loud we were. When our parents found
out we had to do an extra month worth of chores in a week and we were
grounded. The Expendables was the best movie I ever saw but it cost me alot.

I remember when I was a little kid and I watched The Bourne Identity for the
first time. I wewnt around acting like a spy because at the time I felt it was cool.
I lurked around corners, hid things from people, eavesdrop on peoples'
conversations and made some toy guns. I even started atealing things from
people. I never got in trouble because I make an excellent spy but looking back
I'm glad that I didn't develop a habit.

Whenever I watch a violent movie start mimicking the actions of the movie. If
it's an action movie I act the scenes out. When I watch a kung-fu movieI do
kung-fu. Watching a shooter movie I try to do the impossible tricks they did on
the movie. Spy movies made me act mischieviously and rude. If people did this
every time they saw a violent movie then people could get hurt or die. That is
why I think that television violence can have a negative impact on society.

Recycling

Recycling is one of the best things a person can do to help the planet.
Recycling paper saves the trees from destruction. If cans are recycled, they can
reduce the need for raw materials. Plastic bottles reduce landfills when recycled.
When glass is recycled, it saves energy. People should recycle because it
greatly helps the planet.

A metric ton of recycled paper saves almost 17 trees from destruction. It also
reduces the amount of water used by 50% and uses almost 40% less energy.
750,000 cubic meters of space in landfills would be saved a year if all cardboard
and paper in a house were recycled. 512 homes would have enough electricity
to be powered for a year if we recycled paper for a year. Recycling paper is a
very easy thing to do and it helps everyone.

Recycled cans are often melted down to create steel. Since you can melt cans
into steel, it lessens the need for mining for iron. Recyling cans reduces the
need for raw materials and keeps the Earth's soil rich. It also lessens the
amount of pollution in the air. The impact of waste on landfills are also reduced.

When a ton of plastic bottles is recycled, 7.4 cubic meters of space in landfills is
reduced. When 562,000 plastic containers were recycled last year, it removed
19,000 tons of plastic based items from landfills. Plastic items like the ones that
surround cans sometimes get dumped into the ocean. Not only does it pollute
the water, it also can suffocate any animal who gets close to it. Last year, there
were enough plastic bottles to stretch around the Earth almost 19 times.

Unrecycled glass creates pollution in the air and it remains in a landfill forever
because it does not biodegrade. If you recycled one glass, it saves enough
energy to power a 100 watt light bulb for almost an hour. Recycling glass
protects the environment because it will not be thrown into an area that has
animals. When a glass bottle is thrown in one of those areas, it can cause
serious damage to that animal by cutting it if it walks on it. Recycling glass
creates a healthy environment for everyone.

Recycling is a big factor in helping our planet. Recycling glass reduces animal
risks, saves energy, and creates a safe environment. Recycling plastic reduces
a significant amount of space in landfills, reduces water pollution, and saves the
lives of hundreds of animals. Recycled cans create steel, lessens the need for
raw materials, and reduces the amount of pollution in the air. Recycled paper
saves trees from destruction , saves energy, and lessens the need for water. If
we recycle at least one of these things a day, we can greatly improve the status
of our planet as well as save money and energy.

Public Buses

"Some people are actively involved in promoting and supporting a cause,
such as the release of an international political prisoner or protecting the
environment. Is there a cause you actively support. Write an essay
convincing readers to support that cause."

I'm proposing a new amendment to the United States Constitution. The new amendment
should allow people to get on public buses for free. If public buses were free, it would
lower the overall consumption of gas and oil which would save money. It would also
save trees from being destroyed in order to make tickets. Public restrooms and public
waterfountains are free, so why aren't public buses?

People spend alot of money each year to pay for gas and oil. Some people spend more
money on gas than on food. Because of all the money spent on gas, more cars are
polluting the air. There's also more traffick because of all of the cars. Making public
buses free would lessen the amount of air pollution that is in the sky and it would aloow
people to save money by taking the bus instead of driving their car.

Thousands of trees are being destroyed each year to make bus tickets and bus passes.
Our once beautiful green Earth is being destroyed and before long, all of the trees will be
gone. Onee day our children will live in a world where they have to read about trees in
history books. I cannot imagine a world without trees, can you? We can help save the
trees and let our children live in a world where they can go outside and see trees all
around them, but in order to do that we have to make public buses free.

More and more cars are polluting the air because of all of the gas we spend on using
them. Even more money is spent on buying the gas that is used for the cars that are
polluting the air. Thousands of trees are being destroyed to make bus related items. It
will not be long until there are no trees left on this planet. Making a new amendment that
makes public buses free will lessen the money spent on gas, it will cause less pollution in
the air, and it will reduce the number of trees that are being wiped out. Support this cause
and help the American economy.

Cloning

"Since the cloning of the sheep Dolly, there has been much debate over whether or not humans should be cloned. Many people feel this is a violation of the natural order of things and that all research in the area of human cloning should be banned. Others feel that this is a natural progression of science and human evolution and that research in the area of human cloning should be a priority. How do you feel about this issue?"


I think that people should be allowed to research cloning humans but there are
stilll somee pros and cons to it. Human cloning is a form of asexual
reproduction, a clone would have the exact same genetic structure of an existing
person. A clone is a new category of existence altogether. Human cloning can
enable people to have children if they can't produce sperm or egg cells, cloning
would also allow lesbians to have children without the use of donor sperm cells.
On the other hand reproductive cloning will make humans seem as a
manufacturing product and it would destroy the sense of uniqueness in human
beings. I think cloning will greatly benefit many people in many ways.

Cloning allows people to have children if they can't be helped by other fertility
methods. If someone is born with fertility problemsand they are not capable of
reproducing, cloning would allow that person to have a child. Cloning also lets
lesbians to have children without the use of donor sperm that comes from a man
they do not know, and gay men will be able to have children without donor egg
cells. Reproductive cloning can give parents who have lost a child in the birthing
process redress. If one of the parents has aids or cancer they will not be able to
reproduce without giving their child their disease, cloning would allow the other
parent that is free from aids or cancer to use their cells to make a child.

Reproductive cloning would make people seem as a manufacturing product
versus someone that is born. Cloning would destroy the uniqueness of a person
and can lead to segregation among clons and people who are not clones.
Cloning is very unsafe, nearly all mammalian clones have resulted in death. The
deaths of clones are usually stillbirths, misscarriages, and early sickness.
Reproductive cloning puts the clones and ordinary humans in physical and
psychological danger.

I think cloning would benefit alot of people in multiple ways. Cloning would
allow people with a lethal heart condition to transplant an exact copy of their
heart that doesnt have the illness into that person. A family that has lost a child
in their younger years could have a clone of that child to fill the gap that the
death of the previous child left. Human cloning will eventually lead to cures for
such diseases as aids and cancer. Human cloning is the next step toward a
better understanding of human cells.

Reproductive cloning is the production of a human child that has the exact
same genetic structure as its human donor. Reproductive cloning allows people
with fertility problems to have children. Cloning also allows scientists to
understand the human genome more clearly. Reproductive cloning is also very
dangerous and could cause the deaths of thousands of people. I think we
should clone humans because it will benefit everyone with a sickness and
possibly lead to a world without disease.

Favorite Movie

"What is your all-time favorite movie and why? Write an essay persuading readers to watch this film."

My favorite movie of all time would have to be James Cameron's Avatar. You
should watch this movie because it contains all of the aspects of the greatest
movie ever. The director is considered to be one of the best directors of all time.
The CGI graphics look amazingly realistic. The actors are very talented even
though some are not well known. The most important thing about this movie is
the storyline, which is the best i have ever seen. All of these things combined
gives you the best movie of all time, which is James Cameron's Avatar.

James Cameron is the director of the movie Avatar. He is considered to be in
the same league of directing as Steven Spielberg, who is the most famous movie
director of all time. James Cameron's previous movie, Titanic, has made the
most money a movie has ever made because of inflation. Avatar has made
more money than any movie other than Titanic, this gives Cameron alot of
crediblity as a director and has been the most successful director.

CGI graphics are very important to most movies that involve action or
adventerous scenes, and Avatar is full of them. Avatar has better CGI graphics
than any movie I have ever seen. These graphics are only 2D, but they are so
good that they look 3D. This movie's CGI graphics make plants and animals
come to life. Everything in this movie is very colorful and vivid, it is breath-
takingly realistic.

The main actors in this movie are Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana. Sam
Worthington has been in movies like Terminator Salvation, and Clash of the
Titans. Zoe Saldana's latest movies are Takers and Losers. Although Zoe
Saldana is a pretty well known actress, Sam Worthington is not a well known
actor. In each of his movies, he tries to erase his former self and literally
become the character he is potraying, much like the late Heath Ledger who was
known for doing the same thing.

Some movies have good actors, a good director, good graphics, and a high
budget, but sometimes the storyline is so hoorrible that it makes everything else
about the movie look bad to the point where you want to discontinue watching it.
This movie's storyline is the best I have ever seen. It is a kind of forbbiden love
story with action thrown in. James Cameron's Avatar, was critiqued as one of
the greatest storyline ever.

James Cameron's Avatar is, in my opinion, the greatest movie of all time. It has
a great director, the actors are great, the graphics are the best I have ever seen,
and the storyline is impeccable. Overall, everyone would love this movie and this
is why you should watch it.

One vs six

ONE IS GREATER THAN SIX
I think that smaller families are better than larger ones. I feel this way because
people with smaller families have more order in the household than larger ones.
Parents of smaller families can focus better on an individual child rather than
multiple ones. Children with half a dozen or more siblings are more likely to
misbehave at school. Smaller families also save more money on buying things
for their kid than larger families. Smaller familes have more advantages than
larger ones therefor, they are better.

Most families with half a dozen or more children have chaotic homes. The
children are always being loud, running around everywhere, or crying. Children
are very hard to keep up with and the more you have, the harder it is keeping up
with them. Families with only one child have an easier time managing their child
because they only make a fraction of the noise made by multiple children, and
because of this, the parents have less stress.

Parents with only one child can focus on thier kid better than parents of multiple
children. If the child of a small family is struggling at school, the parents can sit
down and help them learn the concept in a peacefu, learning environment. If a
child with multiple siblings needs help, the parent is less likely to provide a
peaceful learning environment because of the chaos the other children are
creating. If they are able to create a stable environment the parents might still
be worrying about the safety and whereabouts of the other children while they
are helping one of the kids. Parents with only one child do not have that worry.

Children with multiple siblings tend to misbehave at school because of the
neglect they recieve by their parents at home. They are neglected because the
parents can not focus individually on one child. When a child starts acting out at
school, they continue that habit throughout their lives, which could get them into
serious trouble. Parents of only one child can give their child attention and they
will less likely misbehave at school and they probably will not turn out to be a
serial killer.

Children are expensive no matter how rich you are. Families with over half a
dozen children spend alot of money on their childrens' needs. They need to pay
for school, school supplies, clothes, some form of entertainment, and food.
Money does not grow on trees and because of how expensive children are,
families are struggling. The more children you have, the more money you
spend, which is why parents with only one child save more money than families
with six or more kids.

In conclusion, families with only one child are better than families with more
than six. Parents can pay more attention to their one child better than parents
who have more than six children. The households of multiple children are
usually bedlam because of all the chaos. Children usually misbehave at school
because they do not get enough attention at home because the parents cannot
put their full undevided attention on one child when they have six more running
around. Parents with only one child saves a significantly more amount of money
than parents that have half a dozen children. Families with one child are better
than families with over six because of their numerous advantages.

Ali

"Today's top professional athletes often have salaries and bonuses in the tens of

SEMESTER ESSAY 6

I believe that althletes should get paid in the millions of dollars because they
have to work hard to get where they are at and it is just like a career, and some
career pay over a million dollars. One of my favorite althletes is Muhammad Ali,
and he had to go through alot, work hard, and entertain to get paid a high
amount, these are the battles that lead up to him getting paid over ten million
dollars. He was a three time world heavyweight champion and is considered one
of the greatest boxers of all time. When he was an amateur, Ali won a gold
medal in the light heavyweight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome.
Once Ali turned professional, he went on to beat George Foreman and regained
the World Heavyweight Title.

Ali trained with Fred Stoner, an African American trainer working at the local
community center. Under Stoner's guidance, Ali went on to win six Kentucky
Golden Gloves titles, an Amateur Athletic Union National Title, and the Light
Heavyweight Gold Medal in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. Ali's amateur
record was 100 wins and 5 losses. Ali states that he threw his gold medal into
the Ohio River after being refused service at a 'Whites Only' resturaunt.

After his Olympic triumph, Ali returned to Louisville to begin his professional
career. Later, he fought in one of the biggest upsets in boxing history in wich Ali
regained his title by defeating champion George Foreman. The fight was known
as "The Rumble in the Jungle" and was produced by Ali's close friend. During
the bout Ali employed an unexpected stategy, called the rope-a-dope, where he
leaned against the ropes and absorbed ineffective body shots. Foreman
became exhausted in the seventh round and Ali dropped him with a flurry of
punched in the eighth round to regain the title.

Let's recap what Ali had to do to get millions of dollars. Ali is an American
boxer and three time World Heavyweight Champ. He is considered one of the
greatest boxers of all time. He won the Light Heavyweight Gold Medal in the
1960 Summer Olympics as an amateur. His most famous bout was known as
"The Rumble in the Jungle". In that bout he knocked out George Foreman to
regain the World Heavyweight Title. Imagine if you had to go through all of the
battles and hardships that he went through, would you not want to be paid
millions of dollars for it, I know I would. Most top althletes had to be the best at
what they do to get where they are and they deserve to get paid for it.
millions of dollars. Do you think these althletes deserve such high compensation
for what they do? Why or why not? Explain your position and use specific
reasons and examples."

Cat v Dog

  Cats are animals that are incredibly agile
and elusive.  They are quiet reserved lazy
animals that are good for only one thing, caring
for.  They are small, come in any color, have four
legs, and they meow. 

  Dogs are superior to cats in every way
shape and form.  There is nothing that cats
have that is superior to dogs except their
neediness level.  In that case yes cats need more
 attention than dogs.  Dogs are  a bundle of energy
and they arre always glad to see you.  They wag their
tails and love playing with people.  They also have four
legs and a tail.  They are usually biger than cats, and
they bark instead of meowing.

Formal v Informal

  Dressing formally is usually what
people do when there is a major get
together,  whether it be a wedding or a
party, dressing formally is etiquette but
very uncomfortable. 

  Dressing informally is what people do,
whenever thay are just relaxing.  It is
 your everyday style and that is what people
wear most of the time.  I ike to dress
informally because it is more comfortable
and you can have your own unique style
whereas dressing formally everyone looks the
same.

Raw vs COoked.

Personally I dont eat anything raw.  But
many peole do eat raw foods. The food that
they eat are sushi, which consists of raw fish
wrapped around seaweed, with rice and wasabi. 
That is the only food I know that people eat raw
and it is very dangerous to eat raw food because
it can contain wyrms.

  Cooked foods are alot more popular than raw food,
it has less health risks because it kills the bacteria
whenever you heat it up which is how you cook something.
I eat cooked foods like hamburgurs, and lobster.  Lobster
is very rich, and tasty but you shouldnt eat alot of it, because
it is dangerous, just like how you shouldnt eat alot of any
food.

Spicy vs Sweet

Spicy foods are hot and it is sometimes
hard to figure out whta it tastes like becuaes
of how hot it is.  Spicy foods are the specialty
of Mexican cuisines, and I love mexican food
but sometimes I cant take the heat, so I stay
out of the kitchen.

Sweet foods are enjoyable and usually are
desserts.  Sweet foods usually have alot of
sugar which turns into fat, and if you dont
watch how much sweet things you eat you
can become fat.  but sweet foods taste really
good but I usually dont eat them.

whether or weather

  Weather does not affect my mood in any
way shape or form.  It can however, affect
other peoples mood.  When it rains people
seem to be more depressed, when it is cold
become tired.  When it is hot people are complaining
 and they go swimming.  When its spring people are
cheerful and glad to be alive, and thats when the animals
are out and the grass is growing

Ps v Hs

Public schooling has its benefits, such as
 meeting new people and learning to, coexist
 with other people, it allows you to experience
the world from multliple vantages.  The downfall is
that you have less privacy and you might be
subject to ridicule, physical disagreements, verbal
and physical bullying and ignorance.

  Homeschooling has none of those downfalls. 
the benefit to homeschooling is you can stay home.
The downfall to that is that you will not develop
interpersonal skills, and you might not know the
outside world.

Understandin vs Knowledge

  Understanding something can be a sympathetic
emotion, it could also be a cause for reason, for
thought and indiscrimination.  Understanding is
alos an agreement to do something. Like a deal.
 
  Knowledge is something that you can learn
or that you know to be true, it isnt ignorance
and it is what people make decisions by.

Especially Interesting

  A person that is especially interesting is
myself, so im told anyway.  I have been told
that i am unlike any other person out there, I
am unique and you will never find another person
like me.

Effeective teacher

  The most effective teacher I have ever had
would be Mr. Gonzalezs.  He taught real life
we understood it because we wentrt out and did
the assignment , as if we were that person. 

Not enough sleep

  Not getting enough sleep can affect my day because
I will be drowsy and tired throughout the day.  \
I will not be as focused as I could be and
I will be focused on not falling asleep on the
spot  I also get really hungry when I am sleepy so
it will be hard not to lose focus on whatever
I am doing.

Movie Description

  A favorite movie that I could describe to
someone who has not seen it would be called
Inglourious Bastards.  This movie is all about
killing nazis.  That alone will get thousands of
people to watch this movie.  But seriously, this
movie is starring brad pitt, who is angelina jolies
husband.   He plays an American revolutionary who has
about 12 Jewish people under his wing.  He is in
Germany and he tells his people to bring him
 100 nazi scalps, and each one has to bring him
 100.  They also kill hitler so this is an awesome movie
 so watch it.

New Language

   If I had to learn a new language it would
be Japanese.  I like Japan and anime so
one day I will need to learn Japanese because
I am going to Japan in the near future.  Japanese
is a very complex language and learning it
would be a challenge but I already know what
I would do to master the language.

  If I were to learn Jpanese I would first
look at a Japanese book that would teach
me how to speak Japanese.  Then I would try
to speak it regularly to everyone that knows
 Jpapanese and I would get better at it.  Then I
wouldnt need to read the subtitles of anime
because i would understand what they are saying.

Music Video

  My favorite music video would have
to be Waiting for the End , by Linkin Park.
They have alot of money and they show that
in their music videos.  They always special effect
everything and it looks really cool when they do
so.  You may or may not like the song but you
will like the music video.

Teenage Fad

  A teenage fad that is very popular right now
are silly bands.  They are bright rubber bands
that take the shape of certain things.  They
could look like animals or words.  The animals
that I have seen the silly band take the shape of
are, lobster shark, polar bear, giraff, dinosaur,
and even an alien.

  People usually wear silly bands around their
wrists.  Some silly bands glow in the dark, some
dont.  The thing that they all have in common
is that they break really easily.  The reason for its
popularity right now is what I dont know about
them.  But if I had to guess it would be because
they are silly.

Animaniacs

  Many people have diffrent relationships with animals,
depending on what the animal is. determines what kind of
relationship you can have with them.  For example, dogs,
they can have one as a pet and they would have to take
him or her for walks and another person might use him or
her for defense against people trying to break into your
house. 

  People also use dogs to find their way around if they
cannot see.  These peole are called blind, and the
dogs that they use are called guide dogs, they are
specially trained to help blind people around there
surroundings. 

  Police also use dogs to help them find criminals
that are on the run from them.  They are usually
german shephards, and they are black and brown.
They use their noses to find out whether or not
someone is hiding drugs or where someone
that is hiding is.

Parent Appreciation

  A reason for appreciating your parents is for
giving birth to you.  Another reason would be
for raising you to be the person you are today.

Dec 10, 2010

omniscient

  The guy that came from Japan went into a bar
and ordered a bud light beer.  He drank it  incredibly
fast.  He had with him a silver suitcase and an electronic
device that looked like a cell phone.  It allowed him to project
images from his phone into the air so that He wouldnt have to
constantly look at his phone to check something.  The device
was silver and black on the outside and was able to slide up
and down.  He left his phone on the counter when the bartender
walked over to fill up his cup.  I noticed he left his phone and
decided to bring it to him.  I followed him outside and tryed
to hand him the phone.  He said Nortyuu sai gotyy Hai!.  The
phone sent a projection of what he said and it translated it in english. 
I realized he said This phone is for you and your the only one that
can use it.  I looked at the phone and it had all of my information
on it.  When I looked up he was gone, and I stood there with a
hi tech phone.  I then gained all the knowkedge in the universe, and I
became omniscient.

Family History

  To preserve family history you should ask older relatives their stories.
They can pass on their stories so that you can have a better understanding
your family history.  After you learn your family history from
your elders, you should pass on what you know about family
history to your children and younger relatives.  They will continue to pass it on
to their kids and that is how you can preserve family history.

Dessert Decadent

  The most lucious decadent dessert that I could imagine would be
.. well honestly I do not like sweets or dessert so  couldnt imagine a tasty looking one.
Poeple always say that Im weird because of that but in the
long run it will help me because I wont have diabetes
 and everyone else will, and I will be laughing at them
while eating a candy bar.

No cell phones

  Modern life would be different if we didnt have cell
phones because we couldnt text people or check the
interneet on the go.  We would be slower than we could be
and people would not be as fat because of the cell phone
loss.

JAPAN

  A foreign country that I would like to visit would
be Japan.  I would go to Japan so that I could get many devices
that have not yet been made in America and I could be
technologically advanced. 

College

  The tasks I need to do to attend college in another state would be to
check out the area that way I can get familiar with my surroundings.
I also need to make sure the area is safe for me to go there
because I dont want to be in danger in an unfamiliar place. 
I also need to find somewhere to live so that I can be at home
unless I decidse to live on campus.  I would need to get a job to
support myself so that I could buy what I want to buy.

Celebration

  If my best friends birthday was coming up I would
prepare alot of things but leave most of the preparations
to her family.  I buy the pizza so that everyone could
have something to eat, that way people will not complain
about being hungry.  I would buy the gift my bestfriend wanted
which is a I heart Boobies band, and she woulld be happy
because it is in support of breast cancer.  It would be the perfect
present to go with the perfect party.

Decade

If I could live during any decade I would live in the present. 
I wouldnt want to live int the furure because I would miss the
present, and if I lived in the past I would miss the future.
Although it would be interesting to live in these time periods
I would rather live now, for the moment, and by the moment.

Superpower

  If I had to choose between super strength, invisibility, or the ability to fly, I would choose the latter.  I would not want to have super strength because I might accidentally crush things that are important to me.  Having invisibility is pointless because only you dissappear and your clothes don't, so people would still see me.  Having the ability to fly does not have any negatives and that is why I would pick it out of the three. 

Extended Family Member

  If I could spend an afternoon with an exrtended family member it would be my little brother Trevion.  I have not seen him in a while so I would like to spend some time with him.  We would do what he wanted to do which would probably be playing UFC Undisputed 2009.  He would pick Forrest Griffin and I would pick Lyoto Machida, and we would fight each other. 

Outdoor Living

  Living outdoor at a ranch is alot different than living in the city.  You have to cater to your animals.  You also have to feed yourself by hunting in forrests.  Almost no one that lives in the city has experienced living outdoors in a farm.

  I have pigs, horses, and chickens as my animals, and each one requires alot of energy to try and keep up with them.  Every animal that I have eats alot of food.  Chickens eat feed, horses eat grass and hay, and pigs eat anything, that is why they are called swine because they often eat their own excriment.  Whenever I am running low on supplies like food, I go into the forrest to hunt more animals and get more food for my animals.  It is a very exhausting job but it is very fun nevertheless.

  Overall outdoor living on a ranch consists of two things.  They are catering to your animals because they need to be healthy in order to give birth and to eat them, except the horses, your not supposed to eat horses.  You also need to hunt for more resources when you run out at the ranch.  Outdoor living is very quiet and it is alot more peacefull than living in the city.

Teen Smoking

  A cause of teenage smoking could be peer pressure.  If a teen is surrounded by other teens that are smoking, the teens that are smoking might try and persuade the one that is not smoking because they do not want him to be left out.  A teen might also start smoking because he thinks it looks cool.  Some teens are under stress and they might think that the only way to relieve it is by smoking. 

  Some problems that might occur from smoking is lung cancer.  They could also get addicted to it because they get used to smoking and it becomes a natural part of their life.  The nicoteen in the cigarretts that they smoke could also be a cause for addiction. 

Particular Food

  Some people base their eating habits on their religion.  Some religions, like Muslim, forbid the consumption of pork.  Other people basse their eating habits on the fact that they are vegetarian.  And some people base their eating habits around diets because they are trying to lose weight.

  People that are Muslim cannot eat pork.  They believe that it is a vile animal and it is swine, and the consumption of it is like eating poison.  Muslims also cannot eat during a certain month, it is called fasting.  Sometimes they cannot eat meat on Fridays, the only meat they can eat is fish.

  Some people are vegetarians and they do not eat meat at all.  There are different reasons for this lifestyle choice and one of them is that they are against eating anything that has a face.  They believe it is like murder.  Other people are vegetarian because they are on a diet and they are trying to lose weight. 

Unlikely Allies

  Two people of different interests and backgrounds can become unlikely allies if  they both join the army.  One could have joined through obligation while the other wanted to join.  If they did that they might be put on the same platoon and they will have to work together to achieve their goals.  They would become really good friends because of all of the battles they went through together in times of strife.

Ideal Vacation

  My ideal vacation would be located in Hawaii.  I would stay at a five star hotel and I would be able to relax.  Some days I would go out to the coast and swim with the sharks that are attacking the fish.  I could learn more about the waters of Hawaii and I could have fun while drinking a coconut drink.

Fame and Fortune

  A person can recieve fame and fortune by playing the lottery and winning over 1 milliion dollars.  A very small percentage of people win the lottery and the people that do somehow get lucky and win a significant amount of money become rich and they are usually put on the news and that is how they get fame.

Health Concern

  A public health concern that is serious enough to take immediate action is childhood obesity.  The communities with the highest childhood obesity percentage should be regulated to build more parks and recreation centers for children and teenagers.  In this center there should be a basketball court, a swimming pool, and a workout room.  If this happens in every community with high percentages of childhood obesity will greatly decrease.

Change of plan

  A change of plan can become necessary in times of war.  If you are planning to sneak up on the enemy during the night and they somehow figure out that you are coming, they can ambush you.  That is when you need to change your plans because if you do not and become stubborn your team members' lives will be highly endangered.

Math

  Math is a required subject because people will need to know how to use their money and how to figure out the best way to use it.  Numbers will be with you for the rest of your life,  It will be in your job and everything else that you can think of.

Internet

  The internet is a place where you can find anything you are looking for.  Whether it be television shows that you missed on television, or information that you are researching for an essay or your own personal reasons.  Some people use the internet to communicate with their peers.  Websites that are common for communicating with your friends are Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and Aim.

COOPERATION

  Cooperation to me means working together to achieve a common goal.  To have cooperation, you and your cooperator need to be on the same page so that you do not get confused about who does what.  Neither of you can be selfish when you are working together, because if you are it will be alot harder to get things done than if you are not selfish.

Communication

Twenty years ago it was 1990 and people had big bulky phones.  Phones nowadays can do more things that computers could do that long ago.

Teachers

  A method in which a teacher could do to be more effective is teaching the material they are supposed to be teaching.  If a teacher just sits around all day on his computer and gives his students a load of work o do, the student are more likely to not do it because of the seemingly impossible task given to them.  A teacher should go over the material that he is giving to his students.

Conviences

  Conviences can change people's lives because if a person gets fired from their job and the next day the building where they got fired from got blown up in a terrorist attack during the time you would have been working inside, yo would say that that is a convience because if you were not fired then you would be dead.  And that is how a convience can change a person's lives.

Pride

  Having pride in you work is like having confidence in your work.  If you have pride in your work then you respect your work.  To have pride in your work you feel like you have done something really good and you are happy with it.

Diversity

To be diverse is to be different.  It could range from race to anything possible that is in a single subject.  A correct way to use his word is, "The team is full of diverse players".  In which diverse means different.

Kobe

  Kobe Bryant's life was all about basketball.  He played other sports like football and soccer to improve his toughness  and footwork in basketball.   He trains alot more than most people who play basketball.  He would play a basketball game and after it is over he would look at the tapes to see where he went wrong in some situations so that he can continue to improve.  Eventually he became one of the greatest basketball players and it was because of his work ethic.

Unique

  I am unique because people tell me that I am unpredictable.  I am different than anyone else that you will meet.  I am goofy, funny, smart, and talented in sports.  I have great hand-eye coordination and I am good at just about everything I do, when I want to be anyways.

Good Driver

 A technique that can make someone a good driver is placing both hands on the steering wheel and wearing a seatbelt.  A person can also be a good driver if  you pay attention to the and and the things around it like the people who are crossing the street.

Pollution

  If an alien came to the planet Earth and wanted to know about pollution from me I would question his intentions.  But i would nevertheless tell him what pollution is.  I would explain air pollution, which is the pollution of air through different machine made harmful toxins that are released in the air.  I would explain what water pollution is, which is when toxins get into a water supply like rivers and oceans and seas.  After  I explained the pollution of this world the alien would then consume all of the pollution in the world and leave after doing so.  The world would be  a better place because their would be no pollution of any kind and people would be able to breath under water and people would never get sick.

No Computers

  WIthout computers people would spend more time outside with their friends rather than inside on Facebook.  The general amount of people that are obese would go down because to have fun people would not go on AIM or Twitter they would go outside and play a sport like basketball or football.  Without computers people would have to get information through television or through the radio.  People would not have cell phones that can access the internet and the overall technological advancement would slow down.

Ending a Relationship

  If you are in a relationship and you want to end it, you should do the following.  Say " It's not you it's me, I do not think I am ready for a commitment."  Then you walk away without turning back and that is how you end a relationship.

New Friend

  A person can make a new friend by talking and being nice to her.  You would need to take an interest in what they like and eventually they will take interest in what you like.  If you do that then you will have made a new friend.

Favorite Game

  My favorite game at the moment is Kingdon Hearts 2.  It is my favorite game because it has all of the things I look for in a game.  Action, a great story, cool graphics, cool characters will cool moves, and it has to be easy to execute these moves.  I like playing this game because it has characters from other games in it as well as their own original ones.

Impulse Buying

  A person can impulse buy if they are walking next to a restaurant and they see people come out eating what looks to be delicious food.  The person that was walking by the restaurant becomes hungry and now they want what they saw in front of them.  The person goes into the store and buys the food on a whim.  An effect of impulse buying is that you can run out out of money and you cabn also gain weight if you do what I described above.

Prejudice

One affect of being prejudice is being sent to jail.  If someone is being prejudice and they are acting uncivilized, the person who they are harassing  could call the police and the prejudice person could be sent to jail.

Test

  To pass a college admission test you need to study the material that you will be tested on.  You can take practice tests to prepare yourself for the real one and if you do that you will be ready.

Computer Investment

  In order to buy a state of the art computer, I would make sure that I could afford it first of all.  Then I would look at the best choices for the price that I could afford.  It would have to fit my needs and it would also have to look good.  As long as the computer fits those requirements then I would by a state of the art computer.

Brother and Sister Conflict

Brothers and sisters might not always see eye to eye, and when that happens you need to know how to

handle it.  You should handle it by making them spend time together and they will accept one another.  That

is what you should do when a brother and sister have a conflict of intrerests.

Peas, don't make me eat them.

One vegetable that I truly dislike are peas.  They are like little green devils that take pleasure in making your tongue writhe in disgust.  Whenever I squish one, there are plenty more who take its place.  So peas, don't make me eat them.

Typical Day

A typical day of my life would be going to school after I wake up.  Then when I get out of school I go home

and  do all of my homework.  After I do all of my homework I usually go outside and play basketball with

my friends.  At around seven o clock I go back inside and I take a shower.  I then watch television and go to

sleep.

Master Plan

A master plan that could make out communities better would be to send all of the people who break the law

to jail.  If we do that then the communities would be safe.  Everyone would be happy since they will not have

to worry about their safety because all of the people who broke the law will be in jail.

Right College

You can choose the right college by looking at different brosures of colleges.  You can also visit the colleges that you have looked at.  Once you have an idea of where you want to go you see if it fits your requirements and if it does then thaat is the college you should go to.

Shoes

  Shoes come in all shapes and sizes.  There
are some that are small, some that are big,
some that are ugly, and some that are cool. 
The most popular shoes out there right now are
called Jordans, they are the shoes by Nike from
the greatest basketball player out there, Michael Jordan.

The Moon

I would like to visit the moon.

I could be near weightless, floating like a balloon.

If I were on the moon, I would observe the stars.

I could see a planet, hopefully Mars.

I could walk on the unique landscape.

It might be smooth because there are no earthquakes.

Walking on the moon would be fun.

My next goal would be to walk on the sun.

Earning Money

There are multiple ways a person my age can earn  money.  They could get a job at Wal-Mart, McDonalds,

and any other fast-food restaurants.  They can earn money from getting an allowance from their guardians

from doing chores around the house.  You can also sell things like candy or any other items you do not want

and earn a profit.

The Baby Dragon

Once upon a time there was a sword called the Baby Dragon.

It got its name from the fire it creates whenever you unsheathe it.

Its sheathe was all black with a white dragon on the middle.

It defeated all of its enemies and became stronger and stronger.

But one day it came across another sword that had the same strength as the Baby Dragon.

This sword was called the Baby Tiger.

The Baby Dragon's sheathe was all white with a black tiger on the middle.

It created ice whenever it was unsheated.

The Baby Dragon and the Baby Tiger clashed and they realized they were equals.

They decided to team up, and they became known as the two strongest swords.

The Baby Dragon and The Baby Tiger also known as Yin and Yang.

The 4 seasons

  There are four seasons that affect the climate of the Earth.  They are: winter, spring, summer, and fall. 

Winter is a very cold season, it usually rains alot and sometimes it snows depending on your geographical

location.  Spring is a season where everything comes to life.  The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping

and everything is colorful.  Summer is the hottest season.  The sun is closest to the Earth during this time

which is why it becomes so hot, people usually go to the beach or go swimming to stay cool.  Fall is the

season where everything is brown or red.  The leaves die out and fall from the trees, which is why its called

fall.  My favorite season would have to be spring because of how green and lively everything is. 

Game Show

  If I could be on any game show it would be Fear Factor.  Fear Factor is my favorite game show because

every episode is interesting and sometimes they have celebrity contestants.  If I was on Fear Factor I would

have to compete against 6 other people for the prize of $100,000.  Our first challenge would be a timed

event like swimming in the ocean to a float, the slowest two people would be eliminated.  I'm a very good

swimmer so I definately would not be eliminated in this round.


  With only 5 people remaining, our second challenge would start.  This challenge usually eliminates the boys

from the men.  It would probably be a challenge in which the contestants would have to consume a repulsive

beverage.  I do not have a weak stomach so I am pretty confident that I would not be eliminated.  Whoever

drinks the beverage the slowest or whoever doesn't finish it would be eliminated.  Which would leave 3

people remaining for the final challenge.


  The final round usually is held hundreds of feet in the air.  We would probably have get five flags without

falling off of a support beam while being timed.  The first contestant would only capture 4 flags before falling

off of the beam.  The second contestant would get all of the flags with a time of 2 minutes and 3 seconds and

then it would be my turn.  In order to win I would have to get all of the flags in less time than my previous

contestant.  I would easily get the first 5 flags without falling off and I would have 10 seconds left. So I lunge

for the last flag and I grab it while falling off of the beam.  As dangle in the air Joe Rogan tells me that " Fear

is not a factor for you!"

My Home (Poem)

There are many things I like about my home.

A place of relaxation, a cool dome.

Can go in the kitchen and get something to eat.

Like rice and beans, and some meat.

My room is a kick back, take your shoes off and have a seat.

Expose your feet, when you walk in though.

If you don't I'll tell you to go.

Everything in my house is enjoyable, what do I like best.

I suppoes it's my bed where I get my rest.

FRIENDS

Friends are people that you can trust
they help you with your problems and
you can rely on them.  People usually
take friends for granted by asking them to
do too much, I dont and I love my frineds

Basketball

Basketball is my faavorite sport.
It is very complicated and it is easily one
the top five most popular sports in the world.
People usually underestimate me when I play
them but I always win.

Famous basketball stars are Kobe Bryant and
Lebron James. The most famous is probably
Michael Jordan. He played for the bulls.
And is the greatest.

Are smaller families better than larger ones? (500 word essay)

Some people think that a family with 6 children is better than a family with one child. What do you think? 
 
 
ONE IS GREATER THAN SIX
I think that smaller families are better than larger ones. I feel this way because
people with smaller families have more order in the household than larger ones.
Parents of smaller families can focus better on an individual child rather than
multiple ones. Children with half a dozen or more siblings are more likely to
misbehave at school. Smaller families also save more money on buying things
for their kid than larger families. Smaller familes have more advantages than
larger ones therefor, they are better.

Most families with half a dozen or more children have chaotic homes. The
children are always being loud, running around everywhere, or crying. Children
are very hard to keep up with and the more you have, the harder it is keeping up
with them. Families with only one child have an easier time managing their child
because they only make a fraction of the noise made by multiple children, and
because of this, the parents have less stress.

Parents with only one child can focus on thier kid better than parents of multiple
children. If the child of a small family is struggling at school, the parents can sit
down and help them learn the concept in a peacefu, learning environment. If a
child with multiple siblings needs help, the parent is less likely to provide a
peaceful learning environment because of the chaos the other children are
creating. If they are able to create a stable environment the parents might still
be worrying about the safety and whereabouts of the other children while they
are helping one of the kids. Parents with only one child do not have that worry.

Children with multiple siblings tend to misbehave at school because of the
neglect they recieve by their parents at home. They are neglected because the
parents can not focus individually on one child. When a child starts acting out at
school, they continue that habit throughout their lives, which could get them into
serious trouble. Parents of only one child can give their child attention and they
will less likely misbehave at school and they probably will not turn out to be a
serial killer.

Children are expensive no matter how rich you are. Families with over half a
dozen children spend alot of money on their childrens' needs. They need to pay
for school, school supplies, clothes, some form of entertainment, and food.
Money does not grow on trees and because of how expensive children are,
families are struggling. The more children you have, the more money you
spend, which is why parents with only one child save more money than families
with six or more kids.

In conclusion, families with only one child are better than families with more
than six. Parents can pay more attention to their one child better than parents
who have more than six children. The households of multiple children are
usually bedlam because of all the chaos. Children usually misbehave at school
because they do not get enough attention at home because the parents cannot
put their full undevided attention on one child when they have six more running
around. Parents with only one child saves a significantly more amount of money
than parents that have half a dozen children. Families with one child are better
than families with over six because of their numerous advantages.

Quarterback (poem)

If I were a quarterback I'd be the best.

When I'm on the field the opponent scores less.

I say HIKE! And they all start running.

I juke the defender, the crowd says I'm stunning.

I throw the ball far, and it perfectly spins around.

The reciever catches it, and scores a touchdown.

I do this ten more times and the crowd goes insane.

I jump in celebration, as we win the game.

Four years ago (poem)

I could not do much four years ago.

I couldn't do algebra, no no no.

I couldn't make free throws on the court.

I couldn't get on coasters, I was too short.

I couldn't get in the water, I couldn't swim.

I couldnt reach the light, it was too dim.

I couldn't watch any television show.

I could not do much four years ago.

Monkey for a pet? (poem)

A monkey wouldn't make a good pet.
You have to pay extra to go to the vet.
They get food and make weird sounds.
If you see a monkey a mess is bound.
When made mad they have loud fits.
They'll cup their hands and take a...poo
If you don't believe me buy one and we'll make a bet.
A monkey wouldn't make a good pet.

The Youngest Person I Know

The youngest person I know is my baby cousin Kendall.  He is 2 years old and is the son of my aunty Trisha.  He likes to fight with people even when they aren't doing anything to him.  Kendall is a very spoiled little kid.  He has his own room while his older brother Kaelen, who is 11, has to sleep on the couch.  He has a 45" flat screen plasma television on his tv stand with baby blue paint on his walls.  He is always smiling except for when he's crying.  Although spoiled, Kendall is my favorite baby cousin.

Oldest Person I Know

The oldest person I know is my great grandmother on my mothers' side.  Her name is Haidiand she is 89 years old.  She is Belizean and she is 5'2".  She likes to cook food for everyone when people come to her house.  Her specialties are both desserts, milk cake and fruit tarts.  Both of these desserts are sweet just like her.

Wonderful Painter

If I was a marvelous painter, I would paint the solar system on my walls.  First, I would paint the background a dark blue color.  Green dots would be seen everywhere on the wall and they would represent the stars in the distance.  On my center wall, I would paint the sun orange and yellow.  It would be near the bottom of the wall to show that that's where the sun is at night, at the other side of the planet.  The moon would be near the top of the wall and it would be white with grey crators in it.  On my right wall, Mercury, Venus, and Mars would be painted in green, grey, and red colors.  Near the middle of my right wall Jupiter and Saturn would be painted in brown and yellow colors.  On my left wall Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto would be painted blue, brown, and white.  On my cieling the Milky Way Galaxy spiral would be painted with a black hole in the center.  The paint that I used is able to glow in the dark.

The Bat Who Couldn't Fly

His name was Bat.  He lived in a cave with all of his family and friends.  He was always walkiing on the ceiling of the cave and he never came down.  Everyone thought that he could fly because no one saw him get to the ceiling, which is 1,000 meters high.  His friends wanted to see him fly because he was rumored to have been the fastest bat alive so they put bat oil on the ceiling around him when he was sleeping so that he would fall and would have to fly.  When Bat woke up he started walking around and slipped off of the 1000 meter high ceiling.  As he was plummiting down to the ground his friends waited in anticipation. Later that day he was known as The Bat Who Couldn't Fly.

Lunch

If I could have lunch with a famous person it would be BJ Penn.  Penn is a famous Brazilian Jui Jitsu fighter for the UFC.  He is one of my favorite fighters and I would ask him questions about new BJJ submissions and how he prepares before each fight.  I would ask him how he made it to the UFC because I want to be a fighter as well. 

Siblings

I have two brothers named Jermaine and Trevion.  Jermain is 20 years old and he has a hot temper.  He likes to play sports like basketball and football and is very intelligent.  Although he doesn't always do the right thing, he has a good heart and is a great big brother.  Trevion is my little brother and is 4 years old.  He is very hyper and loves to play sports and video games.  The only thing he eats is peanut-butter fingers.  Peanut-butter fingers is a modified peanut-butter and jelly sandwich but the ends are cut off, and it is cut in thirds so that it looks like chicken fingers.  Both of my brothers are fun and both of my brothers are very nice.

Phoenix

If I could have any animal for a pet, it would be a phoenix.  It would be 50 ft long and 100 ft wide if it spreads his wings.  It would have a yellow beak, with blue and red feathers made of  a fire that never goes out.  It wouldn't eat anything and it lives in the sky.  If I call out its name it comes and finds me no matter where I am in the world.  When it dies it is reborn again in its ashes.

My Journey as a Pirate

The name of my ship is called Highwind.  I sail to different worlds looking for the ultimate treasure, the Keyblade.  The Keyblade has the ablity to unlock and treasure chest, lock any treasure so that no one can steal it, and show the location of any treasure.  I stumbled across a map of XIII when I was at Soul's End Island, it shows the location of the almightly Keyblade.  As I arrive at XIII I anchor the Highwind so that it does not drift away.  I take out my map and begin my search for the Keyblade.  I see a giant treasure chest with a sign on it, "DO NOT OPEN!!!", I decide to try and open it but I can't.  I figure only the keyblade can open it so I continue my search for the mystical prize.  I find the Keyblade and take it back to the giant treasure chest.  I point the keyblade at the treasure and a beam of light shoots out of the blad and into the lock of the chest, I hear an unlocking noise, then the chest opens.  I am teleported inside the chest which seems to be as big as a planet while inside.  I see other people who tell me that if you open the chest you, are doomed to spend an eternity in here.  They also say that only the Keyblade can unlock the chest, but once you do it takes you here and if you let it go you will be lost in here forever.  I tell them that I did let it go and they begin to go away.  They then see a beam of light shoot into the sky and realize that I must've lied to them, they try to find me but I am already gone.  As I stand by the giant treasure chest with my Keyblade, I realize that those people must have been seekers of the Keyblade like me.  I go back to the Highwind and the Keyblade reveals to me the location of the fabled Hidden Crest.  I stand in shock, I thought it was just a myth, I sail South in search for the Hidden Crest.

Deepest Fear

My deepest fear is that one day I won't wake up.  I love living more than I nlove most things.  When I'm awake I'm happy.  When the day comes when I don't wake up I hope I'm in heaven.

My Restaurant

If I opened my own restaurant it would be called A Restaurant.  It would be beige on the outside with a red roof.  The inside would have dark oak tables with beige chairs and booths.  My friends and I would work there.  I'd be the head chef in the kitchen while my friends are waitors.  We would serve everything from chips to panines. Our specialty would be ratatouille.

Dinosaur

If I woke up and saw a dinosaur in my backyard I would catch it.  I would put it in a cage and tame it, it would learn to fly me to where I want to go so I dont have to catch the bus tro go places.  I would see the clouds around me as I soar through the air while looking down onto the Earth.  And I'll be the only person that has a dinosaur.

The Meal

If I could cook any meal for my family it would be chili cheese dogs.  I would make chili cheese dogs because everyone likes them and you really can't complan about them.  First, I would fill a pot up with water and place it on the stove.  Then, I would put the hotdogs in it until the water starts boiling for five minutes.  After that I'd pour the water out and put the chili in the pot and let it heat up for about five minutes.  Then I'd put the hot dogs on a bun, pour chili on it, put shredded cheese on it, and serve to my family.

When I Was Brave

One time when I was brave was when I was getting on my first rollercoaster at age 9.  I was at Knott's Berry Farm with my family and everyone was getting on rollercoasters except for me.  I just kept playing the games where you win prizes because they were easy.  When we were walking toward the line for the Dragon Ship ride, my brother convinced me to get on it.  When it was my turn to get on the ride, I was really nervous, but I still got in the seat and locked the bar in.  Two minutes later I walked off the ride feeling brave.

Hundred Dollars

If I had a hundred dollars but I couln't keep it, I would give it to my brother.  He's about to have a baby boy and I would give him the hundred dollars so he can have some extra money to spend it on things for his unborn son.

Do you remember?

Do you remember elementary school?
We used to have show and tell everyweek.
Kids went to the nurse because they had a "tummy ache".
We had desk that were big enough for two.
There was "naptime" everyday and we slept on green hammicks.
We learned famous nursery rhymes.
Do you remember when we had to walk in a straight line?
We had prizes for being good in class like pencils.
We played handball and tetherball during lunch.
Everyone got along great with each other.
Do you remember elementary school?

The House We Lived In

The house we lived in was average.  It was a light brown color on the outside and on the inside the walls were white.  The carpet was light brown and the furniture was white with red trimmings.  It had eight windows, a bathroom, a kitchen, a dining room, three closets, and a living room.  My dad's room was down the hall on the left.  It had a queen sized bed next to the wall.  Under his flat screen tv was his dresser, and next to his dresser was his computer.  In my room my dresser was also under my tv, across from that was my bed.  My desk and computer was under my bed.  My desk was always messy, it had my school supplies, my laptop, and my books on it.  Just outside my window were trees and bushes that brushed up against our average house.

I Wake Up

When I awoke I heard the sound of my phone buzzing by my ear.  I reach for the phone, my eyes still closed, and turn off the alarm clock.  I open my eyes and climb down the ladder that connects my bed to the floor and walk to the bathroom.  I brush my teeth while trying to stay awake.  I finish brushing my teeth and I walk to my room and put my clothes on.  I apply baby oil to my arms and legs and brush my hair.  I grab my backpack and walk out the door.

Thoughts and musings: In This Dream

Thoughts and musings: In This Dream: "In this dream I was a worker for a radioactive goo company. I was walking in the radioactive goo room and I saw a fellow worker named John...."

In This Dream

In this dream I was a worker for a radioactive goo company.  I was walking in the radioactive goo room and I saw a fellow worker named John.  He was dumping the goo into a pot when he slipped and fell into the giant pot of green goo and the goo got on me from the splash.  I went to go get the hazmat team for help and when the hazmat team emptied the pot, John was gone.  There were only green glowing footprints that led and stoppped at the exit.  I woke up the next day and had ice breath, super speed, super strength, heat vision, and I could fly.  I flew outside and there John was about to attack me.  I ran behind him and froze him with my ice breath, then I threw him into outerspace and became a hero.

I Am Poem

I am a curious and gazing teen.
I wonder if i will ever be freed.
I hear the sound of the wind.
I see other people's sins.
I want to break these binding rings.
I am a curious and gazing teen.
I pretend that I like this.
I feel like I'm in bliss.
I touch the stars at night.
I worry if I lose my sight.
I cry when I'm mad mean.
I am a curious and gazing teen.
I understand that I'm actually here.
I say that I have no fear.
I dream I could fly.
I try to be bright as light.
I hope that i can stay keen.
I am a curious and gazing teen.
