Problem/solution

people not wanting to take responsobility for their own actions. Then leads to arguments and everybody getting heated.
The solution would be to sit down more often and talk about whats bothering everyone.

Witnessing racism

I have witness a racist incident but I don't recall what happen. Some how I just seem to have forgotten what I had seen.

My thoughts on a world/local event

Its crazy to know how many people have been declare dead in Japan over this past few days. I am thankful knowing that we didnt't go through what they did but also bad knowing that I can't help them out. Then again the U.S.A. soilders are over seas leading a hand out.

What makes me mad?

Losing stuff when I just had it in my hand a minute ago get me mad the most.
-Bein ignored on purpose
-Bein told I am wrong when I know I'm right
-ignorent people
-know it alls
-fake people
-people who talk alot of smake but can't
back-up anything

who do I admire?

My mother is someone I love or admire because she has always help me nomatter what. Especially now more then ever. She supported me with my son and has always help out anyway she can.
-She would babysit my son while I was in school when she could have been resting
-She helps me out financial
-She still pays for my schooling
-She pays for my credit card
-She bought me a car, to make my life a lil easier
-She is willing to pay off the rest of my tuition $2,000
-She will keep helpin me intill I get a job as long as I am going to school

I admire my mom because she has gone thruogh a lot with my father and yet found a way to make it work for the sake of my brothers and I. My mom had a full time job and what ever little time she got with us she would make the best of it. Would always want to take us out to the park or to go do something we would all enjoy. All I can do is try and hope to be a good enough mother as she has been but I know that I am not like her but I will not give up. My mother of 3, with a full time job some how she always found energy to cook home made meals for us to eat when we got home from school. I will never be able to explain how much my mom means to me and how much I love her, I am very thankful for her.

What do I want?

I want to be independent with out having to ask my mother for help
I want to have an easy life someday
I know it isn't easy but it can happen
I want for my kid to grow up and be someone important
I want to graduate with honors or even on the top of my class, in top 10

An article I read beginning to end is New scanners up in jail
Officials say machines should reduce need for strip searches
by Dawn Rhodes
Its about a new security machine that happens to be a scanner which lets you see everything. Therefore there is no need for a stri p search, that leads to no law suits.

" to improve security "
"scanners that should reduce the need for strip searches"

This is very convinent for everyone, the whole process would be safer and very save that way nothing will be miss.

An article I read beginning to end "Math fans celebrate with pi, not cake
Students get busy as 3/14 = Pi Day "
by Liam Ford
This is about celebrating Pi Day witch occurs every March 14-> 3/14, because the value for Pi is 3.14159.


"The first Pi Day was celebrated in 1989 at the San Francisco Exploratorium"


I find it funny how people celebrate Pi DAy.

Who am I?

I am strong individual
A unique character in this worl d of ours
I am a mom with a loving son
I am simply a person trying to make something out of
her self, nomatter what
I am going to be a mother that my son will be proud of
I am a person that doesn't take no for an answer
I am a person that will not let anybody bring her down
or hold back
I am a simply 18 year old who was a a dream of
becoming someone that everyone will remember.

I have been through so much and so far I have survive
Still Walk with my head up high
With so much pride

I don't care what people say or think about me
Simple fact why my name is in their mouth
they hate me, can't stand me, want what I got,
THEY all keep me laughting
because their giving me something to laught at, they making a fool out of their selfs

One thing I learn is that nomatter how hard it gets, there will always be a
easier time neer by just waiting to be discovered by me

I guess you can say I am a person that is only focus on one thing
Make life as easy and worry free for my son
who deserves nothing but the best

An article I read beginning to end is "Why Apple can’t make white iPhone 4"
by CNN
It's about how they have been holding back the release of the iPhone 4 because the white casing on the back effects pictures when the flash is being use.

" The device takes poor-quality photos when the camera’s flash is used, and the white materials make the proximity sensor less reliable, he said. "
" These design obstacles affect the latest version of the iPhone. Meanwhile, the iPad 2 has a camera on the back, but its backside is made of aluminum, not of the white casing used on the front, and doesn’t have a flash. "


I think that they should have keeped the same design that way they would have just avoided the whole complication abou trying to fix the problem.

Other school ideas

The Falconer
Chicago,IL
The paper in the back has a calendar, annoucing all games and holiday.We could maybe do that and maybe more people will go to games.

The Willard High School On the Prowl
Willard, Missouri
This paper puts adds out to seek models. This would be a fun way to let people know how they can get learning service hours, if theres something going on with people needed.
