HIGH SCHOOL
I want high school to be one of the best experiences ever. Everybody says that high school is and should be one of the best times of your life. I want to have fun and not just sitting around doing nothing all the time. Also I would like to be on the Jordan High basketball team. Basketball is my favorite sport so I am hoping to be able to make the basketball team also. But then I know that I need to keep my grades up and not slack off so that I can get into a good college. Not everybody cares about high school. They think that it is pointless and a very large waste of time. And when people think this they usually tend to drop out of high school. I also want to make sure that I keep all of the rules the best that I can so I don’t get kicked out. Because if you get kicked out of a high school or middle school it looks really bad on resumes and applications. There is also many things I want to accomplish while I am going through out my high school career. I want to have a job and be able to make lots of money so that I can get cool stereo systems in my car. But first want to make sure that I have enough money to go at and buy myself a car. I do not want to use a loan or borrow money from my dad. Because if I do that then I will be in debt for quite awhile and being in debt sucks! Also I want to prepare to go on a LDS mission. But also I want to stay away from drugs, drugs have absolutely no point! Everybody I have ever talked to said that they highly regret trying it, even if they are not addicted to it. They say it was dumb and they should have never been in that situation. But not only with drugs I want to stay away from I want to make sure that I stay away from all forms of alcohol. I think that alcohol is just as dumb to do as drugs. Also I think that it would be fun to go out and do things that are fun and adventurous. I have 13 siblings and 10 of them have graduated or made it through high school. They have told me many fun things to do. There are so many ways to have fun with out getting in to trouble with the law. Also I have a goal to keep my grades at a 3.5 GPA. I think that GPA is good enough to get into a college that I want to. Also I hope to keep my good friends that I have right now because choosing the right friends through out high school is extremely important! They can effect everything that you do good or bad. Also they can be come lifelong friends.

HUMPTY DUMPTY
Humpty Dumpty was sitting on a wall and he had the whole town surrounding him. This town was larger then most towns in the area. This town was having big elections for who was being to be crowned king. They were each giving speeches on why they should become king. Humpty came very last, so he knew what he was going up against. Humpty was so focused on giving such a good speech that everyone would vote for him. People were expecting his speech to the most wonderful speech. Many were comparing to Martin Luther King Jr’s “I have a dream speech.” After Humpty got himself all buttered up and made sure that he looked as good as possible he went out to the podium. The whole audience started roaring, you could feel the rumble in the ground. Humpty gave his best speeches when he was most comfortable. So everyone knowing that he had to walk about one mile over to his most comfortable wall. He was on his walk he was enjoying his walk and view. Like all politicians there are people who love them but also hate them. So Humpty knowing this he hired quite a lot of security to come and escort him to his wall. He had many encounters with this, one came to close for comfort. One group had a distraction and while the security went over to take care of them there ambush group came up and tried to brake his shell with sticks. So they had to hurry a little faster to get to his wall. Once they arrived Humpty got all situated on his wall and sat comfortably. By now everyone was dying to hear the speech! Humpty reached into his pocket to grab it and started searching; he couldn’t find it. After searching through all of his pockets frantically he could not find it anywhere. Half of his men had to walk back along the path to find it. The other half stayed back to protect him. His men were gone for what seemed like forever but then finally made it back to give him his speech. They told him that he had forgotten the speech in his room. Finally everybody could here the amazing speech they had been dying to hear. Humpty opened up his speech and started to talk. Everybody was so into his talk nobody noticed anything else that was happening, not even his guards. People were still trying to make it so Humpty would not become king. Humpty was at the climax of his speech when all of the sudden somebody popped up out of no where with the rest of the people who wanted Humpty to fail. And they all started throwing things trying to make his shell brake. The guards were to busy trying to stop the people throwing things someone got up on the wall and pushed him off. Then he fell to the bottom and splattered everywhere! His men ran over and picked him up then ran him to the hospital as fast as they could and gave him to the best surgeon around. Not even the best could save him.

fridays article
This article is about the big nuclear accident that happened in Chyrnoble. This accident was the biggest nuclear accident ever in history. This was even worse than Japan’s accident, even though Japans was caused by the earthquake and tsunami that hit. Also it talked about when people went in they had to wear masks and suites so they were not effected by the radiation that is still there. They went into a kindergarten and saw all of the things kids usually like to play with were covered in radioactive dust. This left the country with a debt almost incalculable. They predict that this will take at least a few decades to fully clean up.
Some key points in this article are how many people were effected, also how long it will take for this city to be completely clean for people to come back in here. Also it was known to be one of the best cities to live in.
I thought it was extremely striking on how much radiation was piled up throughout the whole entire city. Also the amount of time it will take to clean it all up.
If this happened to me I am not sure how I would feel because I would be dead.
I agree on how long it will take to clean up the whole city.
This has influenced me on how bad nuclear accidents can effect people.
I could find further information by searching Chyrnoble.

thursdays article
This article is about a man who was claimed to be on the B-29 bomber that flew over Hiroshema Japan. But official articles and records that the military has prove that he was never on that flight. The one who they said fell ill never got sick and he did attend this flight. The bombers had one that dropped the atom bomb then others to note descriptions of it and also take pictures. But military records do show that the man who supposedly went did go on a flight before the bomb then days after the bomb. The author wants to fix his mistakes because he thinks that it is very important to make sure history is recorded correctly.
I think the key points are when he went before and after the initial bombing. Also who really was on the flight.
I thought it was interesting how they got this mixed up the way they did.
If this happened to me I would want to fix it. The right people deserve this credit.
I agree that the author wants to fix the mistakes that he made, I think that is showing a lot of respect for who really did this.
This article has shown me to make sure I have all the right facts about things before I publish it.
I could type in the name of the book to find further information on this.

wednesdays article
This article is about a lady named Mrs. Schwartz who was a victim of the holocaust but managed to survive. She strongly believed that having kids was important. She had her first kid when she was twenty three years old, and her oldest daughter right now is seventy five years old. She has over two hundred grand children. And they say she could likely have more than 2000 descendants.
I think the key points were how many descendants she had and how she survived the holocaust. I think that it is amazing how many descendants she has.
I think it was very interesting how she had her first child when she was twenty three and now that child is 75 years old. Also how she survived through the holocaust.
I think this would be kind of strange if it happened to me. Living to see all of the changes the world goes through. But I have to give respect for her to what her religious beliefs are.
I agree that she was quite a unique lady. Not very many people can pull of the stuff she did off.
This article has influenced me by showing me how many different things people can go through in their lives.
I could search her name to find further information on this.

Tuesdays article
This article is about a photographer who is from Uzbekistan and was taking pictures of a boy in this enclosed place and has a mud floor. This kid looks extremely sad and looks deprived. The photographer who took this picture was taken to court and prosecuted. They say these pictures give off a bad image of what the country is and the beauty is has, also that is not what happens in the houses there.
The key points are why the photographer took the picture and also what her sentence is, not only that but also why she had to go to court over it.
I thought it was interesting how the picture was taken to court because it makes the country seem bad which it isn’t, also this picture was kind of set up.
I think that I would be angry if this happened to me because I was doing it just to take pictures and people take it the wrong way. But I can respect why the government did not want it to be published because of the image it instantly gives off of the country.
I agree that the picture did not get published because the things people could thing from it, I very much respect that.
This has influenced me because I know that not all countries can have freedom of press like we do in America.
I could search for the picture to find more information.
