Wal-Mart Vs. Target
Having gone to a dance that lasted until midnight, my brothers and I were hungry and there was nowhere to go. Everywhere seemed closed, so we decided to go around, looking for something that was open and had what we wanted. Wal-Mart sounded good enough for all of us. We went to look and lo-and-behold, it was open.
No matter what time it is, or what it is you want, go to Wal-Mart because they have it, and for less. They’re everywhere so YOU can have access to it wherever, wherever, however.
Wal-Mart is more convenient than most other stores. It’s always open so you could go whenever you want. Wal-Mart has almost everything you might need, so there is no reason why you should want to go to any other store. It also has a variety of everything it has, so you can get different types and kinds of things you want. You can visit anytime you want and get anything you want.
Wal-Mart is cheap, so you can get the same things from other stores, but cheaper. Wal-Mart has better pricing than other stores because they sell for quantity, not pricing. Wal-Mart makes sure that their stocks are up so that people come back knowing that what they want is there. With the stocks being up, the prices go down from there being a lot of what is there and they want to sell more of it.
Wal-Mart is also everywhere, so you can look around and find one when you want or need something. The owner is building more and more of them, so there will be a Wal-Mart in almost every city instead of one here and there. Being in almost every city, you can find one easily in any situation, which helps. Another good thing is, is that they keep building more, you will

Narrative: Final Paper
Flash. I’m laying down in the back seat of a car with my head on Rebecca's lap. My mom and dad are in the front. Confused, I ask “what’s happening, where am I?”
Flash. I’m in an unknown place and my dad is sitting in a wheelchair trying to make me laugh.
Flash. I’m ….
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to suddenly forget almost everything in a certain period of time in your life? What happened? Where am I? People say I was awake, but it feels like a dreamless sleep. Blank, without images, but it took the past two days as well. Nothing. The worst part is, nothing seems to last forever.
Across from our house in Magna lived a man named Merlin. He had a disease or virus and the name keeps eluding me. The disease made him unable to walk, so he needed to use a walker or his wheelchair all the time. The only other problem with it is he was sixty-four years old. When he leaves home or comes back, my brothers and I would go and help him so he could get around easier. It seemed like something that should happen because of how much more able we were than he was. I had one problem while helping him. I forgot the next (past) few days. All I know is that I woke up in a hospital and what my family told me.
I awoke in a strange place, having no memory of how I got there or why I was there. Confused and a little scared, I ask, “Where am I?” My mom appears out of the corner of my eye. “You’re in a hospital. You got hit by a car”, says a doctor as he walks in. Why am I not dead? I think to myself. “How” is the only thing I can say. “You were going to help Merlin and got hit on the way”, my mom says sadly. After that it seems like I blacked out. “‘What happened?’ and I didn’t know what to do except to answer”, mom was saying when I came back to myself. I have no clue what she’s talking about, but I got the feeling that I might not want to know, so I keep my mouth shut. Josh walks up and says, “Why did you have to get hit on my birthday? You ruined it because we were worrying about you.” “I GOT HIT!” I say as my memory of what the doctor, my mom, and I talked about in the hospital (what I did/could remember anyway). “Yes”, several people say at the same time, apparently annoyed. I know they’re annoyed, so I ask, “What’s wrong?” “This is like the millionth time you asked that same question” mom explains in a calm tone. Blank.
Some of the things that I was told about when I was hit are: I was told that I was hit on my brother’s birthday. Another thing is that I had skidded several feet after being hit. The people that hit me said that they were going the speed limit, but I doubt that. I was told that I was awake during the whole time, even though I don’t remember anything, and I was yelling, “Get away from me” to some of our neighbors that I didn’t like. It seemed like forever that I was not remembering, so I had oridionally thought that I was in the hospital for a month, but it was only a day or two before moving me to a childrens hospital. Apparently, I had kept asking, “What happened” and would interrupt my mom while she was answering to ask the exact same thing over and over again.
The worst part about getting hit was that I couldn’t remember almost anything up until that time. I was told by my mom that I had a good memory before getting hit, the type that you don’t see in anybody except those with photographic memorys. Ever since then I have had the legidimate excuse of “I don’t remember” to get out of things I didn’t do or don’t want to talk about. I could swear that I was different after that incident. I thought in a different way. Things went back to normal after a while. The people that hit me came and said sorry to me, but even though I knew about being hit, I didn’t know why they were saying sorry to me. I didn’t know who they were.
I had oridionally thought that if you got hit, then you broke a bone, but you don’t. I learned that not thinking before you do something had concequences that can be very bad. Crossing the road without looking will get you hit, but I found that I was more daring with roads after I got hit than before. Nomatter what you’re doing of how good it is, you can still have bad things happen to you. The only protection you have from other people, nature, manmade things, etc. is yourself and the support of those around you.

Divorce
I believe that divorce is an excuse used to break up with someone because you finally found out that they couldn’t or wouldn’t stand to be with someone. I believe that a person should get to know a person very well before they decide to marry anyone because if they don’t know, then they usually last long enough to actually be a family. Marriage, in my opinion, is a commitment that you make to spend the rest of your life with someone else, and if you find, after wards, that they aren’t the person for you, then you break your promise to them. I think that divorce should only be done when two people decide that they aren’t for each other rather than because they decided to get married on a spur of the moment decision.
I never really had to break up a date, so I didn’t need to know any ways to break one up, nor do I want to know how to because I think that if I saw stupid enough to go out on a date that I didn’t intend on finishing, then I need to learn somehow and going through is the only way I know of.

Argumentative teenagers
I think that teenagers argue with their parents a lot because they think that their parents don’t, won’t, or can’t understand them when they talk about their problems. I think that teens are too prideful to accept that their parents might be right when they are not or when they think that they are right. I think that the main reasons why teens argue with their parents is because they think they need to be flawless and that they want to prove that they are.
I don’t argue with my parents anymore, and I believe the reasons are that I don’t live with them right now and I don’t feel as though I need to prove anything to them anymore. I believe that as the mind matures, the teen will stop wanting to argue with their parents unless they make it a habit to argue with them when they’re around them. I think it takes a long time or drastic measures to break the habit of arguing.

5 Goals
Goals
1. I want to establish a better relationship with peers that I don’t like very much. A. Why I want to do this is because I believe that I would have a easier time with situations that I would get aggravated with. I would also know who I can talk to when I need to talk to someone without having a limit based on racism or prejudiced about who other people are or what they look like. B. How I plan to do this is I want to talk to a lot of people and get to know who they are and what I can talk to them about without them getting annoyed. I also want to be friends with most everyone because I want as much support in what to do as I can get and allow myself to get a better perspective of what should happen.
2. I want to get ahead in credits and graduate early. A. Why I want to do this is because I would get out of high school early and be able to take college classes so I can get further in schooling before I really have to do anything about it. I also want to because I would get a certain amount of funds for college depending on how early I finished high school. B. How I plan on doing this is I want to get packets for a few of the essential classes so I can finish their credit and I want to read and do the packets for eight books. I also want to be able to take classes just for elective so that everything would count for it.
3. I want to get a 3.7 GPA for the rest of high school. A. Why I want to accomplish this is because I want to be able to get accepted into almost any college that I want to go to or apply to. I also want something to tell other people that I work hard and that I get the job done when I’m given the time to. I want people to know that I will work when something arises. B. How I want to do this is I will work on my homework for 2-3 hours a day or until all of my homework is completed. I will also study for my classes so that I know what were doing instead of just barely knowing anything about it.
