School goes by so fast i cant believe this year is already half over! This year has been okay; i can't say that its been the funnest year of high school that i have had, but it had definitely been interesting. One thing that i really liked this year was my Bible class, because in this class i have learned so many things that i will remember and take with me for the rest of my life. I also really enjoyed English class this year it was really interesting concedering the fact that I really don't like English, but it was fun.
I am really glad that this school year is almost over becuase i really want to graduate. I know that after i graduate i will probably really miss high school and want to come back but thats okay.

Prompt--22
In order to be to be successful in life you need to be knowledgeable. You rarely see successful people in the world who achieved their success from their outward beauty.Yes beauty is a nice thing but you can't expect to get by in life by just being beautiful; even if it works for a while sooner or later you are going to need knowledge and education about something other then your own beauty. If I had to choose between being beautiful or being smart i would choose being smart because in the long run it would help me a lot because i would be able to use my education to get a good job and have a successful career.
Even if you are beautiful it doesn't mean that you can't be smart because beauty has absolutly nothing to do with brains. Just becuase you may be smart it doesn't mean that you have to be ugly. And just becuase you may be really pretty it doesn't mean that you are dumb! So you have your cake and eat it too!

I've got the power!!!!! Prompt-- 21
I believe that men and women should be treated equally. But in certain situations i believe that it is tradition for men to have certain jobs because women act on their emotions and how they feel; men don't. For example I don't think that a woman should be the president of the United States because she will make decisions on how she feels and feelings can change instantly so she probably would make some pretty poor decisions.
All in all i think that besides certain political offices women and men should be able to hold and position they want in the work field regardless of danger.

A time to be thankful..--Prompt 20
The holidays are always a lot of fun, mostly because we get a chance to get away form school, but also because we get a chance to spend time with our families which is always a lot of fun. This Thanksgiving the first thing i did was sleep, and let tell you it was great! After that i had to work but it was okay because i was just raking leaves with my sister fun stuff, well atleast the part about jumping in the leaves!
Anyways after all that we had to cook becuase we were having a lot of family come over to our house, and because of that I got kicked out of my room, but thats beside the point. After all the cleaning and cooking it was finally time to eat.Praise the Lord, cause you know i was starving okay! Oh and let me tell you the food was BOMB you don't even know...yeah i know you wish you were there just kidding, but for real though. After that i was like full for a day.
All in all the holidays are great and i can't wait for Christmas! peace.

Its all just a click away! Prompt--19
Way back when it used to be that if you wanted to see something far away, that was cool or spectacular you would actually have to travel to that place to see what you wanted to see. Now things have all changed quite a bit, because the majority of people in the world have television so if we want to see something or be informed about what is going on in the world we can just turn our TV and be informed and in lighted. I think that E.B White was right when he said that extraordinary sights have been cheapened by TV. For example when if someone wanted to see the White House they could just go turn on the TV to some travel channel and watch something about the White House.
Today i think people are more scattered in thier interests because TV, and now people aren't interested in the things that used to be extraoedinary and exciting.

Alone Time--Prompt 18
"The worst lonliness is not to be comfortable with oneself." I think that by this Mark Twain meant that the worst type of lonliness is not being alone but it is not being comfortable with your self and how you are. I don't really think that this applies to my own life because i am fine with myself. To me beong alone is fine i just don't like to be alone all the time but i do think that everyone needs to have some alone time atleast once in awhile, so that you can think.
Are you sure its never too late?--Prompt 17
is it really ever to late to go back to school? i don't believe that it is, i think that you can go back anytime no matter what age you are. I think some of the draw backs that older people have when they go back to school are that they already have families and jobs so there are more things that might get in the way of them studying. i think that the education of older adults could improve society because they would be more educated and they could tell all the younger people the benefits of getting your education when you are young and not waisting your time doing other things when you are young. i think that this guy is very ambitious i think that it is very good that he wants to get more education so that he can help other young people in there lives. And yes i think i would do the same thing if i was in his shoes if i wasn't too lazy.

Prompt--16
I think that we all have something that is very dear to our hearts and if it was gone we would be very sad. Something that is very dear to my heart is my family. My family is very important to me because they are the people that I can trust the most and they are always there for me.
When I do something wrong they are there to tell me and to help me with whatever my problem might be. They are always there for me to support me in all my decisions. I know that they are always right beside me to help me get through all my trails.
Since I have been away at boarding school I have realized even more how much I love my family and that I would be so sad if I didn’t have them with me or if I couldn’t call them.
Even though we don’t agree all the time and I don’t always get what I want I still know that my family cares for me because in the long run they are just looking out for my best interest.
All in all my family is very close to my heart and I love them so much and I don’t think I could live without them!

this is a dream come true....NOT prompt---15
Thank you! Thank you all. I am so glad that you have elected me as your new president! First of all I would like to thank God for bringing me this far in my journey in leading this country secondly I want to thank my parents and my family for all their help and support. I love you all! As i begin my presidency, the first thing that i would like to do is bring up the issue of the poor state of the economy in this dear dear country of mine I think that we as a "United" country need to work together to look at how we spend our money so needlessly and forget about the debts that we owe. If we keep going in the direction that we are in at this moment we could be in great danger and we could go into a state of depression!
Secondly i would like to talk about the education in our beloved country. I believe that we should increase the level of difficulty in our schools so that our children and our children's children will be able to expand their minds and increase in knowledge and skill.
Thirdly i would like to talk about the state of our environment. I think that it is about time that we help clean our environment so that we don't have to breathe in this nasty intoxicated air any longer. The longer we just leave our evvironment the way it is the more we damage our health. We are already in a poor condition as it is.
These three are the issues that are closest to my heart and i think that they might overlap the issues that are closest to the hearts of Americans but thats okay because im not president anyway but if i was you now know what i would do. Thank you very much its been real!

It's the most wonderful time of the Year!!---prompt 14
I think that Holidays are the funnest part of the year because you can just chill with your family and friends and you can eat as much as you want! My favorite holiday is Christmas because its when all our family gets together even the people that I haven't seen for a long time. One of my favorite memories from Christmas is when I was 13 and I wanted boom box and a violin and I got them both.
Now we all have our favorite holidays but one of my least favorite holidays is Halloween. I dont like halloween because its very scary and it is derived and focused on bad rituals. Since this isn't one of my favorite holidays i choose not to focus on it to much or to think about it. So i just think about the holidays that i actually like and about all the memories and good times i have on these holidays!

I Hate Cats Prompt--12
If it Weren' t for those stupid cats of mine i wouldn't be stuck in this pickle. One day i was in my house waiting for my mom to come back form work so we could go shopping. While i was waiting i decided to watch TV for a while since i was bored anyway. My mom was taking longer then i thought she would so i ended up falling asleep. While i was sleeping our outdoor cats started scratching the screen to the back door which just happened to be open. The cats scratched it some much that they tore a hole in it and then they decided to come inside to see what it was like. While all of this was going on i was still off in my own little land dreaming on the couch. Since cats love to play with thread and we didn't have any they decided that duck tape would be the next best thing and there just happened to be some lying on our kitchen counter. The two cats somehow managed to get the tape off the couter and over to where i was sleeping. they unraveled the tape and put it all around me and thats how i ended up duck taped to the couch.

What Really Matters...? Prompt--11
Have you ever wanted to be great? I don't think i ever have. What do you think it takes to be great? Is it being rich or having great wealth? Or do you have to win a lot of great awards? Or is it just being willing to serve looking out for other peoples best interest? I belive Martin Luther King Jr. was right when he said "Everyone has the power for greatness, not for fame, but for greatness, becuase greatness is determined by service." Becuase I believe that as long as you work for the good of others and you are not focused on what you can get out of it you have acheived greatness. Even if you don't do something big, that a lot of people will notice you will still be great, because being great is not the same thing as being famous. These are just my thoughts concerning greatness, what do you think?

The Bicycle Theif Prompt--10
So back on September 14Th of this year Mary Peters the Trasportaton Secretary decided that bicycle and walking paths were a waste of money and that they were using money that should be used for better things like building bridges and roads. She said that the money that we use for building bike paths could be used to rebuild roads and other things that have broken down. But when you think about it walking paths are a very useful things that are used by people everywhere everyday for traveling to work and other things. Also a lot of the people that use walking paths and bicycles to get to work, use them because they don't have cars or they cant afford them. So i think that it would be very ridicules to get rid of bike and walking paths becuase "A person is a person, no matter how small."

the things we'll never forget Prompt--9
Um okay...I really hate talking about my embarrassing moments because they are so embarrassing. Anyways so this happened when i was about seven years old. My older brother was on a little league baseball team so my whole immediate family and my aunt, uncle, and grandma went to his game. At the basball game all the parents and people watching the game were sitting on the grass around the outer part of the field. I was sitting infront of my dad and we were playing a game where I would stand up and then he would pull me back down. I dont know why i thought this was so much fun but i guess little kids get amused my the simplest things. We had been doing this for a while when all of a sudden when my dad was supposed to be pulling me down, he accidentally pulled my pants down instead of me! oh my goodness this was so embarrassing! after that i just sat down for the rest of the game and didnt day anything cause i was so embarrassed... hehe!

To Be or Not to Be? is that really the question? hehe Prompt---7
I think the phrase " apple of her eye" means that, if you are the apple of someone's eye you are truly cared about by that person. For example if you are the apple of my eye you are someone that i cherish more then anyone else.
To me the phrase wear my heart on my sleeve means that you don't keep anything secret or hidden. You let all your feelings show for the whole world to see and keep nothing back.

No Comprendo Espanol!---Prompt 6
So i had already taken a year of Spanish at my old school when i was a freshmen, and it was such a breeze for me. Not having taken any Spanish since then i thought that i might have a little trouble getting back into the whole thing but i still thought that i could step into it with confidence and i would do okay!
The first day of class i had my confident attitude that everything was going to be cool, then we actually got started and everything the teacher said was in Spanish and i was so confused i couldn't understand a lick of what the teacher was trying to say it was all foreign to me, then i started to get concerned, because i had heard from students that took this class previously, about how hard it was and about the very disappointing grades they had to take home to their parents.
As the class drowned on i dreaded every minute of it, because i could hardly understand what Ms. Santana was saying, and then she would just happen to ask me a question and usually i could get away with a "Si" and a nodding of the head. Other times it wouldn't work out as i had planned.
Now it is about the fifth week of school and i am kind of gettinf the hang of this whole spanish class bit...i think. All you have to do is look really interested and when she asks you a question say, yes, in spanish and make sure you right all the homework down and maybe if your lucky at the end of the quarter you'll end up with a "C"

Are you part of a Microtrend?--Prompt 5
Microtrends are little trends that only effect a small part of America's population. I think microtrends like knitters under 30 and high earners are growing in America because some people have so much money and they dont know what to spend it on and other people may just be looking for a way to express themselves. i think that Hillary Clinton hired Penn for her campaign becuase he could help her come up with good marketing ideas that would appeal to everyone. I think that the effacts of "free society" have a poor impact on American culture becuase when it comes to gay rights, the morals of people in American have been lowered to the point where 88 percent of the people think that gays should have equal rights in the work place. Yes i do think that Penn's book was published to help increase the votes of Clinton, because it would shoe her so called intrest in the people of America. Lastly as a student of Weimar Academy I do not have any Micritrends to cite.

If You are illegal You're a Criminal! Prompt 2
My personal opinion on illegal immigration and how it effects the economy and society is that there are so many illegal immigrants in America, not that they are bad but having illegal immigrants in our country hurts American tax paying citizens economically because when the immigrants get hurt or something happens to them, they can go to the emergency room and get help but they don't have to pay for it because they don't have insurance and the people in America that pay taxes are the ones that end up paying for all the things like that. Also if an illegal immigrant got in trouble and ended up having to go to jail, the people that pay taxes are paying for that too, because when you are in jail you get free medical, dental, food, and anything else you need! Another thing that i think is a problem when illegal immigrants come to the United States is that when and if they get jobs, they are taking jobs that American citizens could have.
I think that is okay to send the immigrants back to where they came from because if they stay here in the United States they keep using money that is not theirs, thus they are lowering our economy
I agree with the stance of President Felipe Calderon when he is says that by sending the immigrants back we are separating their families because we are, but i still think that we should send them back because our economy is dropping but by having them here our economy willing drop even faster!
In conclusion i don't care if mexicans come over to this country as long as they do it legally!
