is love at first sight possible? i believe that its possible, but doesnt happen often. most couples take a while to know each other before they start dating and think their in love. when people see someone that they think they like alot and think their 'in love' its only later that they find out that their not and in reality cant stand each other. but sometimes 2 people kust know that they belong together from the moment they see each other till the day that they die...sometimes its just instincts. while i dont think itll happen to me i know itll happen to other people.

There have been many firsts that have happened that I clearly remember, but if I had to choose I would pick my first boyfriend. My first boyfriend was in 7th grade when I was about thirteen. When I look back at it and I realize I was really....young. His name was Leo. I didn't have my first kiss with him though because I was far too nervous and I just felt like I wasnt ready. I liked him somewhat, but once I was IN the relationship it felt super weird. I guess I was moving too fast into already having a boyfriend. I wasn't mature enough. I was such an idiot and so new to it that I broke up with him in a note LOL plus I had someone give it to him insetad of me xD

I think i resemble a lot of my father, he had glasses and chubby cheeks. Also a squint in one of his eyes when he smiled. Our personalities are quite similar, im very sarcastic, that was my dads true calling. We both have a passion for music and movies and sharing stories. I would much rather resemble my father, he is an incredible person and at one point I considered my father my bestfriend. Dont get me wrong i love my mother too, but my mums crazy and very out there. My dad was quiet but had a lot to say when it came down too it. And for the most part all of this is me.

do you believe in love at first sight? explain.
nope, i do not believe in love at first sight because it takes time to fall in love. love at first sight is just when you think your in love but at most times you really arent. your just feeling this new feeling and you think its love, cause thats what every one around you is in to (so you might just do it for attention.) and you want that. but if that love is actually real love at fist sight then i think that would be a one in a million not even actually a one in a trillion chance of that love to be real love. or when those guys tell you that they fell in love with you the moment they met you but its just cause that they have something else in mind that you could provide them with but once they get it they will leave you. so all in alll i dont believe in it because it isnt something that is easily for me to believe in, like maybe after a year or longer together we can talk about love but when its this first month i think there just lieing.
Who has a harder time in life, men or women?
It's hard to say who has a harder time in life. I guess it all depends on the responsibilities of the individual person. But, women are usually the least stable out there. They are a lot of women who are single moms, teen moms, jobless moms, or just being a mom is hard work. Women in the U.S. are working mothers who work to keep their household up. Some mothers don't even see their kids for more than an hour. Also, women are still paid less than men who have the same job. Women also have a harder time when it comes to earning respect.
Angelina Ornelas -2nd period
The advantages of being single and disadvantages. Advantages are that you are free to do whatever you want. You can talk to anyone and not have to worry about your boyfriend or girlfriend getting mad. You don't have as many responsibilites as you do when your taken. You don't have to remember any special dates or cater to their every need. But as there are advantages there are just as many disadvantages. The disadvantages are you feel lonely with out having someone by your side. When your single you walk around and you see all these cute little couples and you wish it was you. Ecspecially when you see the person you like or have liked before happy with someone else. When you are taken you always have that one person to run to or talk to when you need someone. But you don't have that when your single.
what are some pressures that high school students have?
there are many pressures that students in high school have to deal with. some are having sex, doing drugs, dropping out, geting into fights and just being rebelious in general. many high schoolers do these things not because they want to, but because they feel like they have to just to fit in with the 'cool' crowd. some strong teeneagers will not get involved with these pressures but most do get involved. this is sad when that happens. instead of wanted one another to succeed, teens pressure eachother to do bad things. teens have to realize what is wrong and right and then decide wether they are going to do the right thing or not. our generation now is horrible and im not looking forward to seeing how bad our kids are going to be when it comes to all of these pressures.

do you belive in love at first sight?
No, i dont believe in first sight because i think you have to get to know the person before you know forsure your inlove with them. Also, because many girls can come into your life and you will believe your inlove but your really not, its all a phase. Love doesnt even exist to a few people because of all the hurt they have gone through in the past, and some people cant even find love because of how stubborn they are to even look.
the end.
Write some of the pressures on high school students.
The challenges that students face in high school are endless. We have problems with drugs, sex, dropping out, keeping your grades up, basically all the peer pressures that any kid can face. If I could give them any advice it would be to just say no. No would probably be the best answer for anything. Yes there are going to be parties you want to go to, but you don't need all that to have fun. Staying in school would probably be the best. Getting an education can take you anywhere and give you so many jobs. It's also good to choose your friends wisely. If they do something you don't want to do, don't do it.

I walked into the school with a massive head ach. It was freezing cold outside. I went to the mall last night with my sister. I got most of my gifts for my family. I just wanted to take a shower and go to sleep but I have to do Mr. Winfreys flashcard, because they were due the next day. I came in to first period finding out that they weren't due not till like the next couple days. Hopefully the rest of the day will go better, and maybe I won't get sick. I guess I won't have to do no homework for this class.
Most important event of your life?
I guess the most important event would probably be I guess when I was born. I mean if I wasn't born no other events would have happen. If I wasn't born life would probably be different I would be one less person you knew. I guess the next important event in my life would probably be when I got hit by a car. I know it sounds weird, but yeah that pretty much changed my life. I found out who really cared for me and since the guy who hit me is paying for all my hospital bills I had to go to court and all that and all in all I'm getting 15,000 when I'm 18. So I guess that could really be life changing.

I look a lot like my father in many ways. My looks resemble him alot. I have his eybraws which is a like almost exactly the same, i have his big lips, which arent too small but arent to big. i am also tall which i get from my father, i think hes about 6' 3" which is great for me because i do not want to be short, thats a big no. my personality sort of resembles my mom because i like to have alot of fun and not be bored at home, and my mom is exactly the same.

My grandmother is the one I would do anything for. She is the one person that is always there for me and helps me and my family with anything and everything. She looks like a typical grandmother, polish though. She used to me taller than me, but then I out grew her. She was in the hospital a few days ago and I was there with her the whole time helping her, knowing she might be gone any day. Thankfully she survived and she's recovering, she still looks sick but is coming back for her normal self. She is the best Grandmother ever.

Who are you most like? Mom? Dad?
I think I'm most like my Mom because she's talkative and could make friends off the back like that, she's very outgoing, but if it was based on looks I look more like my Dad, but my Dad isn't talkative like my Mom and I mainly go to my Mom for everything since she does talk back to me and give me advice. My Dad is basically just there. I have my Dad's height and eyebrows, but my Mom's outgoingness. The only look I have from my Mom is her dimple.

What is your favorite holiday? What is your least favorite holiday?
I guess my favorite would have to be Christmas. Not because of the presents, but because of those little Christmas movies/shows that they have on television, those moments you spend with your family, those two-three weeks we get for vacation, and last but not lease the faces my 3 year old nephew makes when he opens his presents. My least favorite holiday would have to be well I don't really think I really have a holiday which I don't like. They're all good I guess. No matter what we have a day off of school, so that's nice.

Well my day yesterday....kind of up and down. I got some good news and bad
but my week. Boring. But yeah swimming should take away all the stress, like it always does, unless when I get home I'll get in trouble or in a fight with my parents or someone else. Schools going to be a bore. My friend Brittany and livia will make me laugh most of the day and cheer me up. We're planning on going out on Halloween to have some fun and get candy. Hopefully everything will be good when I get home and continue to be in a good mood.

Dear Mom, I know I'm never nice to you. I call you so many names but know I never mean it. You're a really good mom. You sacrificed your whole life for me and my sister. Although we do give you a hard time we still love you. I see you working so hard for us and I appreciate it. I feel awful knowing you missed out on your teenage years and that you are so hard on me because you don't want me to struggle like you are now. And I thank you for that, I need a parent not a friend and that's something dad needs to understand. You are an awesome person! And how many people can say they sing and dance with their 30 year old mom?!

My favorite holiday would have to be Christmas because two years ago my family decided I was too old for toys and junk so now I get jewelry. My most memorable Christmas would have to be last year because I got a Hello Kitty and Batman diamond necklace. My uncle is the best! And my least favorite would have to be Halloween because everyone scares me. Last Halloween my cousins dressed up as IT the clown and Freddy Kruger and I'm terrified of both! Bogus.
10.21.11
Sooo, I'm eating a poptart. This is the first time I have ate something in the morning since I started high school. I'm not even tired I'm feeling pretty hyper. I can't wait until this day is over so I can party! I have a math test today, I didn't study for nothing…I'm screwed.
10.14.11
Mr. Winfrey is being a meanie and isn't letting us have a free day. I'm tired! But I had chocolate and I can't have sugar because it makes me hyper active but whatever! Can't wait to sleep.
10.31.11
I think I resemble my mom in appearance and my dad in personality because people say I look a lot like my mom and she's short but still taller than me and I'm like my dad in personality because he bossy and mean. He's also a negative person and so am I.
12.16.11
Sooo, my dad's birthday was yesterday he's 32. I made fun of him and called him old! I made him a card with 20 dollars in it. I'm so annoyed right now because Erik keeps telling me to shut up! He's so annoying I want to hit him! But he can be nice sometimes, he has his moments. But he's still a pain in the butt!

Do you believe in love at first sight?
Shoot- go after what you want--live life with no regrets! Just be careful you get to know this person to make sure he is not someone scary! Otherwise --do what makes your heart happy. I think that you can look at someone and know if there is an attraction there, and if you would be willing to enter into a relationship (of any kind) with that person. However, I also believe that love (real love) can only be found when you get to know what's on the inside of someone. In my opinion, people that say that they believe in "love at first sight" are confusing attraction with emotion

1-Today is Friday and my day is going by pretty fast. This whole week was really good. To many things happened we went out of uniform for the pep rally. Which means today we go to see how cool the show is going to be. Hopefully the sophomores don't get boooo at! Also liked this week because we got to take pictures with our friends. This weekend I plan to go places to shop or so and then go hangout with some of my friends. I really think this year is going by really fast. Which means it's almost going to be new year's.
2- Today is the last Friday of October. So far so good but the only weird thing is we have school on Halloween. Tell me why we don't have school Christmas new year's and other holidays except Halloween and Valentine's. That's sort of messed up and funny because all holidays there shouldn't be any school. Well anyway I'm hoping to go trick or treating with my friends. Hopefully it's not to cold outside like other years. I plan to get a lot of candy but not to eat to much cause I don't want to have cavity. This Halloween it feels like there's going to be less people we'll see...
3-So today is December twenty one two thousand eleven. Our winter break is almost here. Which means Christmas is Sunday. How exciting because we get two weeks off. Which also means I can go ice skating with friends and do other awesome stuff. I wonder what I'm going go to get for Christmas! Two more days till Friday! I can't wait because this Friday I'm going to be so busy. I wonder if it will ever snow again . I feel like I'm going to get sick hopefully I don't. Because if I do that is going to suck alot and I don't want to get sick this week.
4-Someone I consider special to me that means alot would have to be my best friend. That's because since the way we met we started getting to have a lot of similarities. After years and days passed by we became closer than ever. Even though we don't go to the same high school we keep in contact. I see her every time we don't have school and I like chilling with her. She's been there through hard and fun times and I appreciate that. I considered her as my sister. So I'm really glad we met.

September 22nd
Mia smells, she has gum on her shoe, she smells like poo, I hope she doesn't hurt me, because she's so ugly, she makes some pretty beast chocolate brownies, I got off subject because I didn't want her to get mad, dude you know I'm just joking man! Why did you have to take it to the heart, you filled me with anger and made me fart. I kind of want to leave now, just because you smell, but oh well there's just stuff in life you have to deal with; I just wish this wasn't one of them. (:
September 30th
All day I slept, I did nothing but sleep. It was so boring. I couldn't think of anything to do so I did my homework. It took forever because I had to finish my 8 box frame. I couldn't wait to be finished to see what awaited me. When I was done I went for a bike ride. Why? I don't know. I really don't. But it was kind of soothing and relaxing. I couldn't say I had a fun day but I can say I had a nice day. I can't wait for another opportunity for a day like this again.
October 8th
The feeling I got was a relief. I felt like I was letting go of all of my stress. Yes I am talking about my first fart. It was really great and it really smelled! Now, I fart everyday so it's just a normal thing for me. I get bored of it sometimes and wonder how cool it would be if I could fart through my ear. Everyone but me always says that farts are nasty but I don't know what's wrong with them. I love the way farts smell especially mine. That's why I do it all the time.
October 14th
The pep rally was really boring yesterday. The music was kind of ok even though I was a part of it I still didn't enjoy it. The girls were pretty hot though. Hopefully today will be better. It gets too long though especially when the teams say every name. It takes 10 minutes to just to say every name of each player in track. I can't wait to see how today's pep rally goes. If it goes bad I will refuse to be a part of the rest of the pep rallies in my high school years. They need to make a lot of improvements. Until then, count me out!
October 18th
My favorite holiday is Halloween. My most memorable Halloween experience is the Halloween from 2009. That year I think I collected over 200peices of candy all for myself! I collected all of it without a costume, how easy! When there were bowls out on the porches that had signs that would read 'Take one' I thought they meant take 1 bowl, so I did. My least favorite holiday memory was last Christmas when I got nothing but clothes! I was expecting at least some money, but no! Let's see how this year's goes. I swear if I get clothes… omg. I'll be mad.
October 20th
I most likely resemble a cat. I can meow like one. I sometimes eat my food and drink my water like one. One time I put my milk in a bowl and slurped it up like a cat. It was awesome. I think appearance wise I would be a fat cat. I'm kind of on the chubbier side so that's why, and plus fat cats are better. There easier to snuggle with. But personality wise I think I'm a mean cat because if I don't know someone and they touch me I would hit them just like a cat would bite someone.
October 25th
I had a soccer game yesterday afternoon at Wentworth Park. The game was around 5 p.m and it was freezing! It was an official school game; I couldn't believe we were still playing because it started to rain! I played most of the game so I can only wear the soccer uniform so imagine how cold I was! I couldn't feel my legs. It wouldn't have so badly but I ended up getting sick. I hate getting sick because then my parents won't let me go out. I don't really mind that, but the worst part, I had to come to school. Sucks right? I know.
October 31st
I look like my mom, looks wise. Like a Mexican, were both very dark and short! Personality wise I think I resemble my dad a lot more than I do my mom. We both get really angry, very quick! We are very impatient, we need our stuff quick! I think I would rather look like my dad because he's taller and I hate hate hate being short like my mom. And also my dad has colored eyes and I would rather be light skinned. I like my mom's personality because she's more outgoing and patient. I love my parents so I can't really choose.
November 7th
Dear friend- I never told you this but I hate you. If I can change anything it would be to not be your friend. You treated me like a pile of dirt half of the time and half of the time I felt like punching you right in the face until you would cry! I wanted to cut your throat! I should've never started talking to you. You were the worst person to trust. I hope you die…. Your hair. You need to get lost. Don't ever come into my life again. I leave you with this letter. So long!

Melissa Young 8th Period Assignetment On Page 96 In Spring Board Book *READ BOTTOM OF MESSAGE FIRST*
| Melissa Young 8th Period January 7th, 2011 In every conflict there is always two sides; for example, Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet". Juliet is faced with a very deep, and very complicated decision to make; leaving her with a major conflict within herself. She has two choices, one of which is to run off with her "star crossed lover (Romeo)", or to obey her father the man that helped to give her life. If she goes with Romeo , Juliet's' father and her whole family will disown her and she would be ban from her home forever, but she would be happy with her one true love. On the other hand if Juliet were to obey her fathers rule she would be able to stay in her home, but she would never be able to be happy with the man she truly loves. In her case its more of a battle of happiness. The start of this conflict within Juliet's heart and mind began at her masquerade. She was supposed to be getting to know the prince because he was soon to become her husband, but the boys who had snuck in from the Montague house including Romeo had "crashed" the party. Romeo caught eye of Juliet and made endless attempts to dance with her get her alone know who she was and so on and so forth. He soon came to know that she was Capulet's daughter. He knew he wanted her and she wanted him so he tried everything in his power to see her without being killed. He got her to fall in love with him with all his charm and sweet talk and she wanted to marry Romeo not Prince Escalus, but since the Montague's and the Capulet's were at feud since before Romeo and Juliet were born, they were not even allowed to speak to each other let alone get married to each other. She was left with a choice cross her fathers house law or be with the one she loved. This conflict sounds simple just to talk to the parents but that is not so easy back in those days. She made a plan to solve this conflict to where she wouldn't have to choose it would just happen but it had gone very wrong. Her plan was to send a letter to Romeo by servant due to she cannot leave the house, and he was ban from the city for fighting and killing Tybalt. The letter was supposed to read that she would be laid in the Capulet crypt but she would not be dead she would merely be sleeping. Since this message never made its full way to Romeo in time, he thought she was really dead. He went back to the Capulet crypt and went to visit her grave. As he stood there and saw what he thought was his loves dead body, he drank poison and committed suicide to be with his one true love and die next to her. When she awoke she found Romeo dead next to her coffin. She Kissed his lips just to make sure there was no more poison left on them to kill her too, and when there wasn't any there she took his dagger from his waist belt and stabbed herself to death. They died together but it did not work out for more of the better or the worst. This conflict is one of the biggest conflicts in this tale. It contributes to the story as a whole showing that you really cant have everything and nothing really can be perfect. This is shown by Juliet's plan going so very wrong. She could not keep her name as a Capulet and be with Romeo so she devised a plan that would make this "perfect" in a way to where she can be with Romeo. As you know that didn't play out to well, they both ended up together yes but only in death. It also shows how fate is supposed to work. Meeting Romeo was by accident and was not meant to happen neither was kissing him or dancing with him or even falling in love with him, it just happened. That is truly how fate is supposed to work, your not supposed to look for it your just supposed to run into it on accident. Mr Winfrey, I do not have a printer at the moment, and i do not know if i will be in school tomorrow or not. I went to the doctors to find out i have brocitis, and i do not feel well still. I wanted to hand this in to you in class, but i think i might of been too late, and i dont want to fall behind. If you could send me my homework for today ( January 10th 2011) and tomorrow (January 11th, 2011) over E-Mail that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Hope to be back soon. Your Favorite Student, Melissa Young : ) |

story
Chapter 1
In Chicago, people are outside roaming the streets, subways, and nearest corner stores. Some are teenagers and children on their way to school; some are adults on their way to work. Everyone has something to look forward to whether its school, work sports or something else recreational, everyone except this boy named Loden.
Loden is a careless teenager who just stands around on a corner all day selling drugs to anyone who wants to buy. He doesn’t really care what’s going to happen to him while he’s there all day every day. He really didn’t have anything to live for. His grandmother died when he was only two, and he never met his father. His mother has countless numbers of men running in and out of the house. He has a girlfriend, but he rarely sees her because she is too busy. She goes to school and tries to make a life for her, her mom and her little sister. He’s always alone. Hayze High School
“Oh my God, it’s so many new faces here. I never seen half of these people in my life “Precious said to her best friend Coco .Precious was a dark-skinned, tall, and slim girl. She was very pretty and lived like all the other girl s at their school, trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents.
“I know right, I haven’t seen him before how you doing? Sexy!”Coco said while trying to get a strangers attention.
“I never understood why you do that, why do you just talk to strangers like that?” Precious asked.
“I do that because I am very sociable, and people love me. Duh!” Coco said sarcastically.
“Ok well anyway, I have to get to class before the second bell rings, ok,”Precious told coco as she begin to walk away from her, and into her next class.
‘Ok, well I’m going to see the therapist downstairs for a while!” Coco screamed across the hall into the door that Precious had not so long ago walked in.

Complaints
Personally ,I think we shouldn't wear uniforms. Nobody listens to the dress code anyways , I always see kids wearing jeans and shirts without a collar and pretty much whatever they feel like wearing. I mean whats the point of having a dress code. Most kids walk in the building with the right clothes on and as soon as they get in change into what they want to wear and half the time nobody says anything to them. Theres no point of uniforms what is it suppose to represent? Formality? No that's not it because kids reuin that the way they act . I don't get it, if we have to wear uniforms shouldn't the teachers too? There telling us how we never listen they should put on the same clothes everyday and see how they feel . honestly if we got to wear it they should to.

Article: Sports;
Sports are complex in that they are a way to escape our lives as well as a way to look at our lives in a clearer way. In the world of sports the line of victory and defeat is quite clear. There is no question of what team you are on or what position you play within the team. These things are not always clear in real life. Escaping to the world of sports is an opportunity to think about these questions in our own lives.
The big jumps, bruises, and broken bones
The blood that pours from open wounds
The stitches needed to mend the cuts
All of this can be too much
The elbow to elbow packs in which we race
The frightening heights at which we face
I still decide to risk my life
Just because it feels so right
It's a rush to hear the roar
From the fans that want some more
You push yourself to the limit
Just because you want to win it
To have the thrill without a pill
The plant, the liquid, the stuff that kills
Others choose to smoke away
So that they can feel high all day
I just hit the kickers and doubles
This gets me higher than all the others
I know it dangerous but I love to ride
Motocross is my way of life
