For my Freshmen
Year Reflection as I look back on my year I have changed in a very big way
positively. I learned how to control my anger, keep my thoughts to myself, get
my work done on time and try not to wait to the last minute to hand in my work.
Last year I had the worst behavior, I was very disrespectful and didn’t care about
anything expect for my work. I would talk back to my teachers and be ready to
fight a student who disrespected me. Now that I’m in high school my whole attitude
has changed I realized that all that is unnecessary I can get my work done
without having to back talk the teacher I can keep all my thoughts to myself
because it’s not going get me nowhere in the long run. I also learned to
control my anger by not letting the little things get me mad and take me out of
my character. I learned to pace my
work habits and when I first get an assignment to do some work and then continue
to finish it as time goes by without waiting until the last minute. I changed
in a positive way for my better, I am a hard worker not disrespectful and I
think before I do and speak and think about the consequences. Unlike before I didn’t
care about what the consequence was I was going to get my way. I realized with
everything that I do now with all my good behavior and good grades that I don’t
get in any trouble no more that my life is much easier without having to worry
about getting into trouble. If I keep my work habits up and keep a positive attitude
I will be successful in everything I do.

This I believe
I was listening to a recording about how a woman with an interesting
story about her nationality, and about what her and her family went through.
When she said people get treated a different way based on their nationality.
From my own experience of feeling like I have been treated some way is when I
would be up the suburbs and in line at wal-mart and the cashier was rude to me
and tried to let a Caucasian person in front of me but my cousin intervened. It
made me think that stuff like that probably happens everyday to any and
everybody. Sometimes it happens around my neighborhood and some of the public
places I go to like restaurants and amusement parks. Since I live in a mostly
African American neighborhood you rarely see different types of nationalities, a
few Caucasians and Chinese people but mostly African Americans. The woman’s
story really interested me and informed me about how racism occurs everywhere
and its wrong no one should have to go through that. Everyone was created
differently but equal, so nobody has a right to judge another person because we
all have flaws no one is perfect. I think it is a great thing she’s doing by
standing up for people around the world and fighting for our rights to not have
anymore racism occur and its making to easier for everyone and benefits us all
to not have to worry about getting treated any way because of our skin color or
being a girl or a boy.

Pusha T Diss
There has been talk that Pusha T has a diss track
out coming at lil Wayne’s group Young Money/ Cash Money business. The diss is
called Exodus 23:1, Pusha T said in his diss that Thou
shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an
unrighteous witness.
To make it seem as if he wasn’t talking about the Young Money group
which he was. Lil wanye came out with a diss to diss them back because he’s
tired of people coming at his Young Money group and they have no right. He is
the boss and the president so he can do want he wants. His group and him have
been in the rap game for quite a while and feels although nobody should
disrespect them and should look at them like they made the way for people would
trying to rap now. Pusha T only made the diss because he felt like Young Money
was coming at his group G.O.O.D music when young money rapper Drake said
something about G.O.O.D. music in a rap verse when he was featured on Meek Mill
song. Lil wanye the person in charge finally told a stand for rapper Drake
because this is not the first person that came at Drake with nonsense. Lil
wanye took his anger and went to twitter to say F Pusha T and anybody that love
goes to show lil wanye is tired and will come at anybody if they disrespect any
members of his team.

Career Day
For career day we had guests from a tax business, an
attorney lawyer, and a commercial banker. All of these careers were very
exciting and made me think about if I would like to do that in the future or is
that a career I would be interested in to do for my life time career. The Tax
business person would came told us how he dropped out of high school when he
was younger and people told him that he wouldn’t be anything in life but now he
owns his own taxes business. He worked at a taxes business place as a part time
but before that he would do his own and others taxes and they told him he was
very good. So at his part time taxes job he worked very hard and when his time
was over there they hired him. Time went by and he couldn’t do side peoples
taxes and try to keep his job so he did something risky and quit his job. At
first it was hard for him but in time he got many more customers and had his
own business. The attorney lawyer who came in to speak to us did lots of things
not just being a lawyer, she tries to defend people as much as she cans because
she is very passionate about her job and she loves it. The commercial banker
who came in has also make a good living out of his career, he only became a
banker because he liked the way it sounded and he was making money. Overall
Career day was a great way to get some ideas of what I want to be when I grow
up.

Girls in Afghan
The girls in Afghan are being hurt and almost killed for wanting to go
to school. Some girls got sprayed in the face with chemicals on their way to
school. People are really trying to kill these girls because they want their
education. The girls are not getting scared away though they are still making
their way to school each and everyday. The girls are making people around the
world very proud for not listening to the people who doesn’t want them to succeed
but are succeeding anyway and trying there best to get their education. They
are making an example of how girls who can’t have an education should act. Even
though their life is being in danger because they not allowed having an
education they are still fighting to get their education despite the danger.
Other girls around the world who are going through the same thing they are
going through are looking up to them about how they are handling things and how
they are still fighting. Girls are looking up to them as being heroes and role
models, everyone should look at them as being an example of how everyone should
have equal rights and everyone deserves an education. Education is the most
important thing in life you need education to do anything so without an
education you will not make it in life. You wont get any jobs and you wont be
able to provide for yourself and or family if you have one. These girls are
very brave for having people having death threats on them but are still
fighting.

Lindsay Lohan framed ?
Lindsay lohan say she was framed by a lady that said she hit her and was very drunk, while Lindsay lohan says she was home that night. Lindsay pleads to people saying that it wasn’t her that night and this time she’s telling the truth she said she would never do anything like that. People are not taking Lindsay’s word because of her reckless actions in the past. Lindsay’s friend says all Lindsay does is try to gain her respect back and that she hasn’t been drinking the much and that she hasn’t been under the influence of any drugs. Sources say all Lindsay does is spill lies so she won’t get arrested and that she gets her friends to help her cover up her lies and she sometimes pays them to keep their mouth shut about what she does and they go along with it for the money they really don’t care about Lindsay personally. Lindsay have said that the lady whose saying she did it might be mistaking her with celebrity look alike Amanda Bynes she says Amanda has been getting DUI’s and has been seen in clubs getting wasted and that she needs her friends to help her walk and get to her car. They have been saying that Amanda has a drinking problem but her parents believe that she does not drink at all, but they have pictures on TMZ of Amanda being drunken getting help to get to her care from her friends. So there is a possibility that she might have gotten them mixed up.
George Zimmerman Charged
George Zimmerman wasn’t arrested when he shot Trayvon Martin, because he said he shot him in self-defense. Zimmerman has made interviews and statements about being innocent but the people don’t believe it not one bit. Zimmerman said he shot him because he was being suspicious and that it was something right with him and he is the neighborhood watchmen so he had to check it out. Police phone calls you can hear the police telling Zimmerman to leave the boy alone and let the police handle it but Zimmerman did not listen to the police so people are questioning why Zimmerman wasn’t in trouble or anything for not listening. People are wondering did Zimmerman only shoot and kill Trayvon Martin because he was black because they might have thought Zimmerman was racist. Zimmerman was not charged for killing him and it caused the case to get worldwide media attention from famous people like President Obama, Basketball teams, Keyshia Cole and the African American race. People were very disappointed that racism still happens today and that it is sad it had to happen to him and that no one should ever have to go through something like that ever in their life. Zimmerman went missing from his lawyers a few days ago and his lawyers dropped him, because he haven’t answered any phone calls or texts from them and he has been making interviews and giving statements without their permission. It is said that Zimmerman will be charged and will do some time in jail.
