I will graduate in 2012.

Mr.Romero can you please grade me on my intro/conclusion and my voice. thanks :)


How many students does it take to screw in a light bulb? Well none unless they graduate, and I plan on being one of the many students graduating in 2012. Not every student graduates from high school and moves onto college. Sometimes they don't even have people supporting them at all. I only need 3 main things to support me which are, my family, friends and a job.



First off is my family. They support me through anything and everything no matter what. But my number one supporters are my mom, and my dad. They have been supporting me, and pushing me to do the best I can in school. The rest of my family are also good supporters, they all want the best for me. I will be the first girl in my family to graduate from high school and move onto college.




Secondly are my friends. Wow! What would I do without them. I've had friends come and go, but my real friends are the ones that stick by my side. They are my second supporters, my second family basically. Going through school and other personal things in my life, I can always count on them to give me advice.




Last but not least, is a job. That is like my third supporter through my whole life. I need a job in order to support myself, and also my family if I have one. It isn't that easy keeping a job now a days, people are getting fired. That's why I will go to college and have a good job to support myself through life.




In conclusion, I only need 3 things to support me through everything. Family, friends, and a job are most important right now. I will be one of those students screwing in a light bulb to graduate in the year 2012.

Thank You Ma'am.

Mr.Romero, please grade me on my transitions and my details. gracias :)

"Was I bothering you when I turned that corner?" were the words a very large woman said to a boy that was rather smaller than her. Ms.Luella Bates Washington Jones and Roger, the two main characters from the story "Thank You Ma'am" written by Langston Hughes. As you read this essay you will notice a lot of different things going on that I never noticed myself. You will also hear a lot about the two main characters. So pay close attention as I guide you through.

First off is Ms.Luella Bates Washington Jones, how could you miss her. She's just like your typical next door neighbor lady. She's tough and some say she's mean, but she also has a nice side to her. Some say she's a priest, who baptizes people. Ms.Jones is not someone you would want to steal from. Yes she is old, but don't think old ladies can't defend themselves because they can. You can't judge a book by its cover.

Next is Roger. A skinny young boy, who wants to fit in with the crowd. He thinks that stealing an older ladies bag is a nice way of buying what he wants. Well bad news its not, because Roger messed with the wrong lady. Of course that lady was Ms.Luella Bates Washington Jones, who put Roger in his place. Which is good because now he will learn his lesson, and stop trying to fit in with everyone else and be his own person.

In addititon to all this, I think this story teaches a lesson in many ways. I hope you  enjoyed this little trip through my essay of "Thank You Ma'am". I know that you have noticed a lot of things, also like I did. Remember you don't have to fit in with the crowd to be cool.

I choose Marilyn Monroe for my NHD Project because I am interested in her history, and since she was apart of the women's movement I think that it would be something interesting to research. She is an icon to all young girls, she was an actress, singer, and a model. Marilyn Monroe did it all. I think that she is a great person to do for my NHD project, and not only is she an icon, she is someone a lot of people look up to. So this is why i choose to do Marilyn Monroe for my NHD project.

Abortion and Birth Control.

Barack Obama strongly believes that  the state can properly restrict late-term abortions. He also said that we should have a provision to protect  the health of the mother, and many of the bills that came before him didn't have that. Part of the reason they didn't have it was purposeful, because those who are opposed to abortion have a moral calling to try to oppose what they think is immoral. What they were trying to do was to polarize the debate and make it more difficult for people, so that they could try to bring an end to abortions overall. Obama has been a leader in the Illinois legislature in the battle to protects a woman's right to choose and promote equal economic right and opportunities. 

In ten years, I will be...

In 10 years, I will be 24 years old and already out of college and most likely a doctor. I will probably be happily married, with children and living a wonderful life. Money won't be a problem for me, I could share money with my whole family. My mom will always be apart of my life, and also everything I do. I will do the best I can throughout my life, and accomplish all my goals. Hope my dream comes true.
