Celebrate
The movie/video that I watched on this photographer was excellent. It brought up great points on how we shoudl all view our goals and our life. At one point in the video, he says "Our inceptions are our perceptions, and our perceptions are our future." To me this wuote is very simple, you got to see it to belive it, and know what you are seeing is right. You have to believe that you can do it. He also brought up a great point about knowing just how much is enough. We as americans today, don't have very good patience. Well he brings up a valid point that the best things come when you wait. You have to know they are coming and wait for them.

The Music Of My Life
The two songs that I could compare is "I Wont Let Go" by Rascall Flatts and "Skyway Avenue" by We The Kings.
the two quotes I related were, "I will stand by you" from I Wont Let Go and "I'd leave it all for you" from Skyway Avenue.
The reason I picked these two lines is because to me, they explain my life. I had extreme depression problems a little over a year ago and these songs helped me get through the roughest part of life i've experienced but I know I had all my friends to support me and I love them all greatly for being here for me and this whole thing helped me realize who was true and who was fake.

9. Do curfews keep teens out of trouble?
I do not think curfews are a good idea, mainly because all we want to do when we ahve a curfew is get back after it to piss you guys off to show that we don't care if we have one.
If I was ever to agree on a curfew, I would make it late enough that they would not get mad at me for making one.
I would also ask them what time they would like their curfew so they have some say in it, but I say that now as a child experiencing it, im sure that view will change.
I think parents need to understand that the more they control us, the more it pushes us to do bad things.

If you could go back and change one day in your life, what would you change and why?
I would go back to the day that I bowled at states, it isnt that I would want to change it completely because it was one of the funnest couple days I had. All the people I went with, the friends I made. But I would like to change the way I bowled. i was not bowling smart, I did not make the right decisions on the lanes and should have done something different earlier.

43 My Day Job Versus My Passion
My day job is working on a farm, yeah, it brings in the money, but what I really would rather do is bowl. Since I was about 5 I have bowled with my dad and my sister. I was not that interested in the beginning, but then I realized I could go somewhere with this. I am now currently the number one bowler on my sunday travel team and this year went to states to bowl for the section two all star team, qualifyed through sectionals. I just recently recieved a letter stating that I am being scouted already by a scout for the east coast. This is big for me seen as I am only a sophmore and have two more years to improve. I will still work but i will mostly be practicing for the big day I could possibly go pro.

Turn an ing blot into a butterfly
The Rich and Famous
The singer that I am going to talk about is Rascall Flatts. When I was going through a "rough" part of life, one of his songs helped me get through it all. The song was called "I Wont Let Go". Here is the chorus.
I will stand by you,
I will help you through,
When you've done all you can do,
And you can't cope,
I will dry your eyes,
I will fight your fight,
I will hold you tight,
And I wont let go.
When I went to Four Winds for help mentally, my friend called me, and this is all she said. When your at the lowest point of your life, you truly don't know how much it means to have someone do something so little for you. I can still remember that phone call like I am just answering the phone. I'll never forget what she di for me, how much I love her for doing that, and she will never know truly how much it meant to me.
Rascall Flatts is a three man band, they have been playing together since 1999 and are still playing strong today. They were based out of Columbus, Ohio. 11 out of their 32 single releases have made it into the billboard top 20 or higher.
My favorite actor is Seth Macfarlane. When I watch all his shows, all I can do is laugh. His jokes are some of the best i've ever heard.
Seth Macfarlane was born October 26, 1973 in Kent, Connecticut. He started doing what he does in 1995. He is best known for his show Family Guy and will be making a movie called "ted" which is coming out soon.
My Favorite actress is Kristen Stewart and the movie I saw her in was Twilight(yes I watched twilight, my ex-gf made me). She is very pretty and it seemed like if I read the book I could see that she would be the girl in the book.
Kristen Stewart is best known for her acting in The Twilight Saga.She was born April 9, 1990 in Los Angeles, California. Her parents were into the film industrie also.

Though I could not find an article that was writing on the 24th or 25th, I did come to find this article was very interesting. This article goes through the history of these players and teams. This relates to my life because I watch basketball yet I do not know a lot about its history. This was a good learning point.

Music Is Life
This song is called My Immortal by Evanescense.
"My Immortal"
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus]
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
[Chorus]
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me

Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

The reason I picked this song and picture is very simple. I feel that it explains perfectly my past and telling me how great of a future I can make out of the worst of things.

Behind The Masterpieces
I first came about the idea of this picture at one of our family reunions. During these reunions we would all kind of have our seperate groups and right before we ate, we would pray. The person that paryed would always be my dad. He always sat right in the middle of the table as kind of like a midiator. He would go around the table and ask everyone what they would like him to pray about and at the end, he would always say "and god we will eat this as if it was our last supper". That is how I came about the name "The Last Supper".

Guest Speaker: Barbara Kaiser
"There are smart ways to solve some of our problems so there`s more money on the ground where the rubber meets the road"
"We need to start acting like a country, ... It`s up to us to lead the world."
To me, Barbara writes a lot about what she sees around her. She is very observent and thinks of things as one of us before writing what she writes.
Where do you like to write the most?
Whats your favorite poem?
I think you write for the people and not the states, I like that.
You defenitly are not afraid to write what you think and make it very strong.

When I'm angry...
When I'm angry I usually like to go work out. The reason is I can get my stress out in a way that I am not hurting anyone and it benefits me anyways. I don't really get angry a lot but when I do, expect me to be outside sweating my butt of and lifting weights. I also like to punch a punching bag but I don't have gloves yet so I have pretty much no feeling in my knuckles anymore.

This article is about a couple who have, under suspicion, killed a Vermont teacher. "The couple were arrested Tuesday night and face murder charges in the death of St. Johnsbury Academy science teacher Melissa Jenkins". They executed and killed a women in her highlight of her career. How can you kill someone and not feel bad as the executioner. Well atleast they found the killers and the law better execute on what happened.

Movies Can Do More Than Entertain
I watched the movie "Facing The Giants" and it changed me. The movie is about a coach who is trying to bring christianity to his football team. When his team fanilly falls into the whole christianity thing, they make an unstoppable run to the title game against the best team in the world, the Giants. It was 64 players against the small 18 man team. The last play was a 50 yard feild goal to win the game, but it was left up to the rookie kicker who has only made 3/4 20 yarders. The kid doesnt believe it but when he prays to god that he would win it, the wind direction changed in his favor and blew the ball straight into the uprights winning the game. I've alway sbelieved in god, but this movie told me that I wasnt involved enough with god, I thought about getting baptised, but i am going to wait till im absolutly certain its what I want.
TU Tuesday - Presidential Speeches
Goerge Washingtons Farewell address impacted the world in the way like no other, it changed the country.
“...overgrown military establishments, which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to Republican Liberty.”
to me this quote would have sparked an arguement between republican and democratic parties. I feel that Washington wanted to stop with all the fighting and just worry about the country instead of killing people.

They definitly nailed the dot on the first bullet, we took almost half of our time there looking at every different group and learned about it. I never really had a problem with being a bully myself, but I was bullied because of my group. And me and the people in my group got to share how we felt and it felt good to let it all out. We didn't really talk a lot about the second bullet, but they definitly didnt forget it, we went over how you should act and what you should do. They taught us a lot of being proud for our group because we are who we are, nobody can change that. When Nadine and a couple others shared their stories, it was very brave and it showed me a lot, people are very cruel and don't reall;y care about others feelings and it hurt to know that someone could do that much damage to one person. We learned some hands-on tools like going to the administration (doesn't work) and going to your teachers and to let them know what is going on.

It's not easy being green
blending with the leaves
and when I walk by a shrub
Im just unseen
It's not easy being green
everybody thinks i'm very lucky
they ask me for my pot of gold
and ask me for a treat or two
and maybe even a couple wishes
I may be green but you know what else
what about the guy over there
the girl over here
or the lady over there
why does it have to be me
But something great about being green
I always have attention on me
I always have a couple bucks
I always have a lot of friends
I always have a pot of luck
Most of all, I like to be green.

Guest Speaker: Janinne Cammarata
She gave the audience a poise that she was comfertable by the way she interacted with us and made eye contect with us. She also at one point walked around the room. She always excepted any comments. She pronounced words very clearly and she used very easy and understandable points and ideas to draw in us as the listener. She spoke loudly so everyone could hear and if someone couldn't hear, she spoke louder. She had very good tips on how to become a writer and what is the easiest things to do to create a character bio and to figure out what your story should be about. She has us help her describe a bunch of pictures of people from a magazine and then had as try and put a story together. She always put the peices together to try and let us follow her in the discussion and when she was reading from the book, she explained what was going on after she was finished with what she had read.
I gave her my complete attention and made eye contact the whole time. Whenever she asked if anyone had questions, I would raise my hand if I had one. When I asked my question, I said it very loud and clear. I thought of questiions to ask her throughout the conversations to try and keep a mindset in order and to really capture the knowledge and experience.

After reading about this author, I cannot wait for her to come in. I love reading about fantasy and fiction novels. They have always intrigued me and it is the only genre I will read. When i was younger i always read things about monsters and demons and things we all knew weren't real, but hey, everyone has their imagination.
“Janine De Tillio Cammarata dreams us back into an age of wars and intrigues among gods, mortals and faerie folk in old Ireland, and reminds us that ancient dramas can interplay with modern lives."
After reading that quote on the website, I knew i'd want to read this book.
"She and her family live in upstate New York with their lab/akita mix Zoey Shadow."
After finding out that she lived in the Upstate, I was thrilled to ask her questions on where she lived and grew up.
Where to you grow up?

W= Wendy's
Well wendy's is one of my favorite fast food places to go. One reason is because they have food that isnt fake and it is kind of healthy for you while at the same time resembling what is "fast food". Now-a-days, people classify fast food as something bad for you. Well any pizza place that you pick up stuff is fast food because just what "fast food" means, YOU GET IT FAST. I absolutly hate when people say "ew you eat fast food". Well duh! I dont want to wait there for it. Anyways, one of the best things on Wendy's menu is got to be the chicken sandwich. It has fried chicken, mayo, lettace, tomato, and then onions if you would like. Also another great thing to order is their milkshakes, I love their milkshakes.
Valentines Day
I know he loves me because he is my dog He will always be there for me no matter and he always knows just the right thing to make me smile. He always comes when i want him to and he always licks my face when I want a kiss.

Take Your Best Shot
Write about a time where you thought you were out of something, and in the end you were always in it to begin with.
About 2 weeks ago, I was bowling in a tournament. We bowled a six game qualifier for the first round. After 4 games, i was -100. In terms you may understand, it means I was 100 pins under 800 pins for 4 games. I thought for sure I was done. They were only going to take 10 people and there was 34 trying out. I was not confident at all. My dad pulled me aside, and ill never forget what he said, "Your the best at what YOU do, your skills will never be greater than your thoughts, but they can be pretty damn close". Now at the time, I didn't know a thing he was talking about, but after that game, i know what he meant. Your mental stage sets the standard for how you perform. And I was in no mental state to perform. After 5 I was -79. I bowled a better 5th game, but I knew the next one was mine. The sixth game I fired a 279 putting me in first place at 0. This tought me a lot, my dad made me better at what I do by simply saying a sentence. I ended up coming in 4th place for the whole tournament because of an injury, I tore open my thumb and i could barely bowl, but I kept on going and lost by 10 pins in the step ladder match to one of my good friends. It was the best day ive had in a while.

A neighbor’s six year old child finds $30 on your driveway and gives it to you. No one claims it. Do you give the money to the child?
Yes, I would give the money to the child because as a child, when I found money, I would take it and run. But if the kid came to me and said, "I found this money in your driveway, here you go". That would touch my heart.
