Everyone should shop at Ross! Not a lot of people have money to splurge on clothes and Ross can help you in that way. Ross has name brand clothes but at discount prices. It is so nice to go to a store and find the clothes that you can find in the mall but for a lot cheaper. Some stores in the mall don’t have a lot of variety. Ross is constantly getting new clothes so you never get bored. When I go shopping for clothes the first place I go is Ross. I have so many good quality clothes and I haven’t spent nearly what other people pay for when they go somewhere else. Everyone should shop at Ross if they have a budget, but good taste.

Research: Good Examples of the Student Creed
Audrey Hepburn
By: Karissa
The actress and model Audrey Hepburn was not just a pretty face, but also a great example of giving service. Throughout her life she had dealt with many challenges but came through as one of the greatest actresses ever known. Her talents and actions have been recognized, by her family, producers, fans, and even presidents. Ever since she was a teenager up to when she died, she helped people. She gave to people less fortunate and worked to give her family what they did not have.
Audrey Hepburn is a great example of overcoming challenges and adversity. She was born during World War 2 and her family lived in Nazi territory. Her dad had walked out on Audrey when she was only six. Because it was just Audrey and she mom money was tight and times were hard. Audrey’s mother raised her with good values and morals. She grew up living by what her mother had taught her. (Ferrer xiii) As a teen Audrey moved to London with her mom and became a dancer and model so her mom wouldn’t have to work a bad job. After being discovered in New York her career took off and she was famous. (www.audrey1.org)
Although Audrey’s life was overwhelmed with movies and stardom, she had dedicated her life to caring for others and giving service. Audrey knew what living hungry and poor was like because of living through the war. Between movies Audrey traveled the world trying to raise awareness of problems happening in the world. When Audrey was done acting she was appointed a Special Ambassador to the United Nations Children Fund. She dedicated the rest of her life making sure she could help as many people as she could. In 1992 President Bush presented her with a medal of freedom for the work that she had done. (www.audrey1.org)
Audrey had made it clear that education and life long learning was the keys to today and the future. Audrey believed that the only solution to eh devastation in Somalia was education. (Ferrer 180) She went to different countries education both children and adults. There have been multiple funds dedicated on behalf of Audrey, used for educational purposes in other countries. Audrey was on a mission for UNICEF when she started complaining of stomach pains. She went home where she was diagnosed with cancer. She died Jan 20, 1993. (www.Imdb.com)
“Since the world existed there has been injustice. But it is one world, the more so as it becomes smaller more accessible. There is just no question that there is a moral obligation for those who have to give to those who have nothing”. (Ferrer 181) That is a quote from Audrey illustrating how she felt about charity. Audrey is a great example of how people should be. She gave to people who had nothing, and influenced people to do the same. Most people give a little when asked but people should be willing to give more. Charity is very important and Audrey lived by it.

I am so excited for Thanksgiving break. My plans are to go to Colorado with my family. Usually every year my mom’s side of the family all meets at someone’s house so that we can all catch up. I haven’t seen her family in about three years and I am very excited to see what people have been up to. One thing that I really like is that all of our cousins are around the same age, so when we all get together it is an absolute blast. This year is going to be a little bit different because I am bringing Steven. We haven’t had anyone come in to our thanksgiving dinner that hasn’t been in the family for a while, so it’s going to be a little wired. I know that everyone will get along and we will all have fun. The worst part about Thanksgiving break is coming back to school. I love how time during the holidays just blends together and go by so fast. I am so happy that it is just coming up in a couple of weeks.

Breathing Underwater
My English class is reading the book “Breathing Underwater”, it is like no other book that I have read and I really enjoy it. Nick who is the main character has had a restraining order against him because he hit his girlfriend. The author gets into this guys head and it makes you think a lot about yourself and relationships that you have been in or are in. I don’t know if it is just me or if everyone who has read this book thinks this, but I have found similarities not only in people I have had a relationship with but myself as well. I think that people in general have control behaviors and though it may not result into violence we all have them. Reading this book has brought to my attention abusive behaviors and the warning signs of them. I haven’t been in a abusive relationship and its probably because of the personality I have, but I understand how girls and guys can get stuck in one without realizing it. The fact of the matter is, is that I really like this book and it is one that I would recommend to not only my friends but to everyone.
