I would say that parent relieves their lives through their children! By relieving their lives through you, the child. They raise you the same way their parents did, but as them growing up and being raised by their parent, know what they liked about being raised and also knowing what they didn’t like, your parents raise you different from what they didn’t like. It relieves them because you will be raised better and wont have similar problems. From your parents going through life and learning all that they did and all of a sudden they have a kid. They have to give up their days to give you your days. All parents usually want to give their kids the best life. When helping some one out you feel better about your self. Just think how good you would feel helping out this infant, your kid, grow up and have success because of your knowledge that you past on to him. Just all the things that come with having a kid, I would say is how parents relieve their lives through you. It’s not easy giving up your life to have someone else to have a good life. It takes a lot! How relieved would you feel, if you gave up your life for your kid? Once he or she is on their own and you can have your life back, how relieved would you be?

My name is Kassy. I am from Mesquite, Nevada and St.George, Utah. I am a vegatarian, and have been for a year now. One day hope to be a Vegan chief.

Explain why Laura drops put of high school

Because the first time her keyboarding class had to take test she gets sick and ends up puking in front of people on the floor. She ends up being embarrassed to go back school.
So she ends up walking around town at parks and when she gets cold she would warm up in cafes and museum and looks at pictures. Even though she has been sick she choices to stay out and explore she choices the greater good. I think she is happy over all this she has chosen, because she is happy and I think that what she needed especially now that tom broke her glass menagerie. Cause she needs something else she can escape to.

Predict what the story will be about?

I think this story is going to be like the dad is coming back. The dad is going to take control. The mom is going to die and the dad is going to leave them. The son is going to get a lot of other jobs so he can help his sister get by and make it to a good college. So she can be something. I think their going to have it hard for along time and it's going to talk about how their going to be pushing them to do different with their life's, because they came from nothing and the boy doesn't wont to work all his life. They wont to work hard for everything they get. The dad is going to come back when the kids are all grown up. He wants to be there for them and be a family but there mad about it and they don't want him around no more, because he wasn't there when he needed him the most.

The statement is- It’s difficult to be happy when you family is screwed up. To tell you the truth it can go both ways. Mostly you can be happy even if your family is screwed up doesn’t mean you have to follow their example and be screwed up too. You can still be happy even if they there screwed up, yeah, it can be hard but not way difficult. A statement I agree with is its easy to fall in love with someone who is attractive. Because all you can see is that there attractive and you can’t really see past that. It’s difficult to finally see past that and it can take you awhile to get past that obstacle. It’s like hey have a shield in front of them from seeing who they truly are. I know for fact that it can be true because it has happened to me before. And I can see it happening to people in my life right now. I don’t think they are truly in love just with each others looks.

Sommer

Do you think that Parents try to relieve their lives through their children?

Well by parents relieving their lives through their children, they raise their kids similarly to how their parents raised them. They want to teach their kids from right and wrong, but also they don’t want their kids going through the mistakes and problems that they had when they were also learning. A healthy parent always wants the best for their kids, and they will do anything for their kids to have a better life. Helping other people out make yourself feel better but as a parent raising a kid from the day they are born to the day they pass away is probably the most, best way to feel good about what you have done for your child. If your kid turns out to be a good person, the way the parents raised the child then, that’s how they relive them selves and feel better about them selves…. This is what my thoughts are.

Trent

It’s difficult to be happy when your family is screwed up because my family doesn’t make me happy.
The reason for this is because my mom and my sister did things to me that are horrible. My brothers beat me, almost to the point of death. My father tried killing me and my mom tried killing me too.
My sister told me that I shouldn’t have been born. It’s the same with my mom she wishes I wasn’t born either but for some reason she supports me in everything I do. My dad wants me back home right now but he wants me to stay in proctor care for the summer.
How messed up is it that he wants me home but really doesn’t?
I don’t like my family at all. My whole family is fucked up and I can’t stand it. Sometimes I wonder if they are my real family.

Achievement

What is this world coming to?
What I see is horror and chaos.
Nothing more than love and destruction.
If you are seeming like you have no where to go,
Take a deep breath and fight through it.
Never give up on your dreams, hopes, and thoughts.
The only way you can achieve everything you want
Is to stop and think about everything you do want and just wait. Imagine yourself with what you want.

Well in the story I think that Laura is a shy girl that just needs to stick p for herself and let people know how she feels and not be afraid and her mother Amanda needs to understand how Laura is feeling that she’s not confident with herself and should help her with that and I also think that Amanda should be a lot nicer to tom because in this case he is the provider for the family.

Society doesn’t make much room for people who are different. I agree with this because I myself am a great example of one of those different people. At first, when I committed my offenses, the courts didn’t know where to put me, so I was in D.T. for about two months while, the entire time, they tried to find somewhere to place me. The seriousness of my offenses scared every program they looked at away, just because I was a little bit “different.” To tell you the truth, the whole thing really pisses me off. Just because my offenses were a bit “disturbing,” nobody accepted me for who I am. I guess some people are just jerks. You see, I have Autism, a congenital disorder that is becoming more and more common in younger people, and not that many people have adjusted themselves to better help me, which just goes to show that society do indeed not make room for people like me, who are different.

It is easy to fall in love with a girl that is attractive

Most guys go for a girl who has I nice body, but most guys don’t realize what is on the inside of someone. Someone who’s attractive can still be a good person on the inside but a attractive person takes that advantages they have and use and hurt people or get cocky over it and abuse it. Most girls have drama but so do guys. Guys usually say girl are a lot of drama but they have no room to talk. They like to fight and rebel more than girls do because its there nature. Girls like to case drama between relationships they or some one they might not like or have a problem with the boyfriend of girlfriend. I think attractive people are easier to fell in love with because you pay more attention to them then someone who is not attractive then some one who is cause I guy that sees a girl in her bikini with a hot smoking body there going to pay more attention then someone who in a bikini that’s fat.

My love for you is like a storm I have no control over your right how long and how fair I will fall with you


Roberto

Another day another
Mistake a new regret
How I learn.
Day after day I do so good
Now that’s all put behind me.
New days call for new measures.
I got the end old days pleasure.
Sorry my friend,
Sister, and mother.

Who am I?

Who am I?
What am I?
I am a girl
A girl who in society is
Looked upon as what?
I should be perfect, sexy and a mom
A stay at home mom who listen to men
Who washes dishes and does what is told
What am I?
A girl, a girl who
In society should be a certain
Weight, height, hairstyle
And even a proper way to sit
But who am I really?
I am a girl
A girl in power,
In control of my own life
I don’t wanna be sexy I am beautiful
I am 17 years old
124 pounds and NOT perfect
I am anything but perfect
But I make it
I can be anything I want to be
No one can sop me
I’m super women
I can be strong, hard working
And play in the mud
I don’t care how I sit or
Who I should be in someone’s eyes
I am me
I am who is am
I know I can paint my nails,
Wear make up,
Wear high hills and still kick butt

-Kesha

What am I to you? Am I just another guy or am I someone who you can care for? Today is just another day, rock out to the sound of nothing, another day goes by, school people, and lies. Your heart and soul are precious to me. I will protect you with my life to keep you close and safe.
Years go by with nothing but the same thing. Listen… can you hear it? There, there is the sound, the sound of another day going by without you.

Limerick

There once was a girl
Her thought made me hurl
She was a loser
But more and Abuser
Thinking or her makes my stomach twirl.

Poems

I hate writing poems
I wish there was no such thing
If I could I would blow it up
Shoot it
Throw it in the blender
Or wash it down the drain
But then again I just wrote one….

Define Alone

When you're surrounded by people

and you feel like you're the only one there.

I try to triumph above my stupid actions

and my selfish habits.

I'm still doomed to be stuck in the beginning of time

where nothing is wrong, but it truly is.

I live to wake up to darkness

and I go to sleep hoping to see

the deafening, final, yet peaceful light.

I'm not here

I'm not there

I'm just....me.

Look, do you see the girl I once was?

I don't.

I see the face of a hideous, forsaken

MONSTER.

She is trying to pull of the mask

of a secure, beautiful young lady.

I try and I try to forgive myself,

but it seems impossible.

You say I speak only of the bleak.

No, I speak the truth.

The story of an empty soul

that's tortured with every inched

along movement to happiness.

Do you believe in me.

I don't.

Because I'm the girl who is trying

to pull of this mask.

A fake smile

A tormented heart

Don't ask me

and I won't tell.

Another diary of a broken girl.

Hate

Hate

Hate is people that are jealous
Maybe because there full of money
Money does not even matter on how people look at you.
Too many rules to follow
They are always making you take the long way.
Always testing you on the way
They make you think of time
The sun beading down on you
Getting a heat stroke
Always getting sun burns following that road


-Sommer

Bre

Is this were we want to be
It’s almost time for me to be free
I see you every night in my dream
Like the girl I love you still seem

Another day has gone by
I want to meet you in the sky
When will it be time for me
To once again be with my Bre


Robbie

Would it come to be, what my moma did before me.
Would I do what she did, back when I was a kid.
Would I face my problem as a kid and become a man,
Or be on the streets kicking a can cuz I ran.
Should I leave my fam behind,
and erase them from my mind.
I would not be there for my sis or my bro when they cry,
It would kill me inside it would make me feel like I want to die.
But something inside me says I got to survive,
And do what I got to do to and strive.
People say I got to mature faster then another,
And except another lady that wants to become my mother.
And if I disappear,
My whole fam would have at least one tear.
And for me they would feel sympathy,
and I would put my self in their position I would feel empathy.


-JC

A New World

A new world, a new life, and a fresh start
To begin there's one girl in my life.
Her eyes sometimes green sometimes blue
Put my mind in motion
But always deep like the ocean.
No one but her
I know will always be there.
And even though it's just the start
There will always be a place for you in my heart.


-Eddie

RUN AND HIDE

It seems to me that the question now adayz
Is if Obama’s gonna make it legal to blaze
I bet he would but that’s a day we’re never gonna see
'Cuz he’ll probably be killed by the white supremacy
And congress will act like their completely surprised
Then the press will eat it up like the rest of their lies
You cant believe the news on tv
So kids now adayz turn to a rap CD
But mommy don’t like it so the kids rebel more
Now your sons a gangsta and your daughters a whore
But wait till your son gets shot up on the block
And your daughter’s having sex and don’t know when to stop
You blame rappers and say we caused it
Its not our fault your kids lost it
You say your life sucks 'cuz you didn’t get the pay raise
And you forget about kids in Africa that were born with aids
The devils on earth now and I'm speaking the truth
I see him in the mirror and in the eyes of our youth
I cant explain how I feel inside
But life makes me want to run and hide


-Cole

I’m so desperate I search, trying to find myself I look,
I search and I search my heart is lost.
Who’s that I’m looking in the mirror? It’s me,
Its me I’m looking at, me that wont succeed,
I shake my head at what I made me,
I fight to not listen at the pain Iv created,
The pain I will always see
Trembling legs week arm, scars from defeat,
Who am I. What have I become?
My choices are what made me,
and I am what I want to be,
and I still have a chance to defeat me.


-Andrea

Persuasive Paragraph

Converse is probably one of the crappiest shoes ever. They are always falling apart on the top of them. The white plastic material is always coming off of the regular material on them. In my personal experience they only lasted about a month or two. I even made sure they would last long so I only wore them to school and basically walked to places. I never used them to run around in. Converse shoes are also uncomfortable. There is barely any padding on the bottom so its basically like walking on cement. In another personal experience I’ve had I would just walk around everywhere like at amusement parks and my feet get so sore so fast. They are so expensive for such crappy shoes. I would never waste my money on them again. I have noticed that kids wear Vans and they are ten times better then Converse.

Sommer

Persuasive Paragraph

Country music is the best out of all music. Country music goes way back to when great grandparents were young. Since I could remember I have listen country music. I didn’t always like it. Country music is for the loving or hurting soul. When I’m sad or happy I can listen to country. In any mood you can listen to country and get happy! Well you don’t have to agree with me but country music is the best.

Persuasive Paragraph

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.

Karissa

Persuasive Paragraph

Does anyone shop at Buckle? I think it is a complete waste of money. Their clothes and even jewelry are over $30 dollars. Their pants like Diesels, True Religion, and Lagoona pants are all around $150 to $300 a pair. You can go to other stores in the mall for pants that look exactly like the name brands for 40 bucks instead. Also their shirts look like little kids drew all over them and they are not even better quality. Also there is not very good service there and they kinda judge you.

kesha

Persuasive Paragraph

In my opinion the best skating shoe in the market are Fallens. One of the reasons why I think they are of better quality is because of the soul. In comparison to Vans, Etnies, and Circas, Fallens are your best bet. Their souls are made out of heavy duty material, which makes them more reliable than any other shoes. Not only are they realiable, but they are comfortable as well. When skating you want shoes that will give you advantage, and Fallens are sure to meet your needs. It’s important to be comfortable when skating, mainly because your feet will hurt and you’ll be able to skate a lot better. So when ever you go out skating, don’t forget your pair of Fallens.

Persuasive Paragraph

Ross is a great place to shop. It’s cheaper than any other store out there. Because in a young man’s world it’s hard to make money because college students get the jobs because they’re more qualified. So Ross is nice to go to where you can go and buy three to four shirts for twenty bucks, which I can afford. Also it carry’s stuff from popular stores so if you get lucky you might find a Calvin Klein sweater that originally cost fifty to sixty bucks for like fifteen bucks. So it’s nice to have an great and very affordable store available around.

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.
