My Last Essay :(

Well, I would like to start off by saying that I enjoyed being in this class. It taught me a lot of thing I did not know. I learned to be a better writer and learned about the talents I have as a writer. I really enjoyed that I learned a lot about the environment; I did not know what was going on until my awesome teacher told me about it. I am thankful that I know now so I can inform myself what is happening to our world. I loved our discussions on the environment, it taught me a lot of thing I had no clue about before. For example "the oil spill" I had no idea that was happening, until our teacher brought it into our attention. Our teacher taught me I can have a voice even if I am only six-teen years old. I never knew I can vote on things. I never knew I had a voice to the higher people then me like our governor, or even president. It is something great to be able to vote at this age for things I want and would like to change about our environment or even about anything.








I also learned that I can write essays and not have trouble doing them. I love to write but I always just wrote about what is on my mind and happening that minute. It is harder for me to write an essay that I have to think through and about. I am glad I can do that now without a problem. I learned how to write an essay the proper way. It took a lot of paying attention to figure out things I did not know before about writing. I asked many questions to make sure I was doing it right. I was determined to learn how to proper write. I want to continue to write. I want to continue so I can get better at writing, so I can get prepared to write longer essays in college. I also liked that we got to speak on how we feel; we had a free mind on what to write on. I think it was fun to express ourselves. We got to talk about what we felt and thought about the topic. Not once did we get criticism on what we wrote. It was our own opinion on every topic.

School Uniform

I disagree on uniforms because, teachers thinks it will stop bullying which it won’t! No matter what you dress students in, they will always find a way to pass judgment upon their peers. The clothes are not the main cause of bullying and therefore the bullying will continue, regardless of dress codes. No matter what clothing rules apply, students will always find ways to pass judgment upon each other. It shouldn't matter if we look all alike, just to try and prevent things like fights, regardless it is going to happen. I think we should have freedom on what to wear. If we all dress alike then we act like we are trained to act like each other. The school wants us to all be a like and the same when we all want to express what we like and how we want to dress. We also want to be our own person and express ourselves. I want to be able to dress how I want with no one telling me I have to change. We should have at least that freedom to dress how we want.



The second reason why I think we should not wear uniforms is because, Uniforms are not cheap they expect us to have school uniforms for school. Then we also have to buy clothes for out of school. I think it would just be cheaper just to let us wear what we want. This is a good reason to be against school uniforms. We are constantly growing out of the uniform, and to have to buy them ever year is not cheap. We should spend money on things we want to wear not what we have to wear, because people tell us to wear a certain thing. The people that are for uniforms are probably the ones that can afford uniforms and regular cloths.


The third reason why I am against uniforms is because we shouldn't have to. I think we should not have to wear uniforms because; I would not want to look like everyone else. I want to be able to show what I like to wear. Clothing can tell you a lot about someone. Just by looking at a person’s clothing you can tell what kind of person they are. If we look all the same there is no point on trying to be your own person when, the school is trying to just make us look alike.


I know for a fact that if the school changes it to us wearing uniform that kids will make the worst of it. Many kids and teens are against the fact of us might having uniforms; they did not like the fact of it. Just because parents and schools want it, don't mean we want to. The school says it is our school, and then if it is our school why can't we make the decision if we want to wear uniforms. Let’s vote on if we should have uniforms are not. We should be able to make our own choices. They tell us students to act like adults, well then the school should treat us like adults and let us make our choices. We only get to be teens once let us act like we want, wear what we want to express the person we are or can be.


I really think the school, teachers, and parents, should realize it will make everything easier, not so expensive. They should let us express ourselves and have a voice if we want to wear uniforms or not. I know that we may not have a voice in many of the big decisions, give us a chance to be heard and listened to.

Dear: President Obama
The reason I am writing this letter to you is to talk about what is going on today in our nature and our world. I just want to explain and to tell you how I feel about what is going on. We are killing what we should love the most. People are just making our world worse. By our everyday life we are killing the Earth. We just make a lot of things worse than better, like Ymber Delecto said; “I am the earth. You are the earth. The Earth is dying. You and I are murderers.”



“When we heal the earth, we heal ourselves”. David Orr. This quote means something to me because it is the truth. When we fix what is going on in the Gulf, we will all feel better. We will feel better because we know that we changed what is going on. Also if all were doing is killing our earth then were also killing ourselves.


If we take care of earth and do everything we can to change our ways. Then our earth will make a lot of good things happen for us. It takes little things to change to make this world better. We can just help ourselves by just doing good things. “Take care of the earth and she will take care of you”. (Author Unknown)


“We could have saved the Earth but we were too damned cheap”. ~Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. This quote is so true we can waste money on dumb stuff that the earth does not need, but we won’t spend money on doing things that actually matter. We just want to be dumb ass people and not do anything to spend on our earth. We’re too selfish. We need to make some kind of change.


Our generation has to fight for what we want or else we won’t be heard by anyone. I hate that people don’t care what happens to our earth when some of us actually do care. It suck that we have to fight like Ansel Adams said “It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment”.


We should look as everyday as making changes for the earth because, earth is not our it is human to and we should take care of it. “Every day is Earth Day”. (Author Unknown)


“The human race will be the cancer of the planet”. Julian Huxley this quote means that what we are doing to our earth and how we are killing it slowly, is like one of us having cancer. Cancer kills us slowly, and that’s what we are doing to earth.


“When the soil disappears, the soul disappears”. Ymber Delecto This quote means like when the soil in this earth is gone, that there is nothing else that can go wrong, or nothing we can do. That means that we will lose our souls because there is no hope to change anything or do anything.


I think that there is hope that we can change this planet if we all put in and help try and change everything that is wrong with our world. If people open there eyes and see we can change it, it will make a difference like Brooke Medicine Eagle said, “


There is hope if people will begin to awaken that spiritual part of them, that heartfelt knowledge that we are caretakers of this planet”.


Please Obama help my voice be heard. I want to try and change everything around. If you make sure the word gets out I know we can make a change. I know that even little things will change thanks for taking the time to read my letter.

☻Unique☻

Well my name is the first thing that sets me from the crowd. I am the only Kristashia that I know of. My personality sets me from the crowd, because I am loud and funny. I always like to make people laugh. I am also a girl who likes to smile a lot when you see me I always try hiding my feelings and put a smile on. I hardly show my feeling. I like to play around and wrestle. I am a girl that has a lot of love and cares a lot about life and people. Being myself and outgoing sets me from the crowd.

The nicest thing I have done for someone is give them my everything. My love is something big for me to give to someone. I gave my love to a special person that I know I can trust. I gave him my love because I can trust him not to hurt me. I knew from the minute we meet he is what I wanted. I’ve fallen in love with him so much. I try and be the best girlfriend I can to him. I always want to make him happy and show him I care and be there for him when no one else is.

The greatest thing I have learned is that I don’t want to fit in with the crowd. Last year I had to learn my hardest lesson. Well all my friends were having sex and I was the only one that wanted to wait. I was with my same boyfriend I am still with for about 3 month. Then all my friends would laugh and say I was a scardy cat and I was a little virgin. It would make me mad because I was the only one they made fun of. After they had made fun of me for a whole month. I finally just said whatever and told my boyfriend if he wanted to have sex. Well we waited till my birthday and then even though I knew it wasn’t something I should be doing, I did it. I didn’t know how to tell anyone so for awhile I kept it to myself. I made my boyfriend promise not to tell anyone till I was ready. I didn’t know the consequences of what I had done.

Four months after my birthday I started gaining weight and my stomach started getting round. Five months after came and I could feel that I was pregnant. I took a pregnancy test and it came out positive and I broke down and just cried. I knew at that minute my whole life was about to change. I was so scared of what everyone was going to say. I first had to tell my boyfriend. I told him and we both just cried together, it was something so unexpected. Well we told his mom first and she was disappointed in both of us. After we had to tell my parents and we knew that they would not take it well. When I told them they cried, they always said they wanted better for me. That same weekend they took me for an ultra sound we found out I was having a little boy. Everyone was so excited. My boyfriend and I started buying him everything he needed. We got so close to the baby and I started feeling him moving and kicking me. I started to already love him so much.

A month after we found out, my boyfriend’s mother called me and said the Dr. was trying to get a hold of me because there was something wrong with our baby. The next day we went into the Dr. Office and the Dr. explained my baby had a brain disease called “hydrocephalus”, that means that my baby had too much fluid in his brain. The Dr. also explained that my baby was too sick to survive. It hurt me, I couldn’t picture having to say bye to my first baby boy. I had my baby at 8 months which he did not survive. He passed away March, 18 2010. We named him after his dad Gabriel. It was the hardest thing to let go. Now there’s not one day I don’t think about him. My life is always going to be different I wonder a lot of things. Also now I am going to have to live with one bad decision I made for the rest of my life. It taught me a big lesson that I shouldn’t want to do anything just because everyone is.

A little thing called love came into my life. Being with someone I love can be magical. Caring about him and our relationship is all that matters to me. Dangerously in love with a boy named “Gabe”. Excited every time I see him and he is around. Flirting with him is how are love began together. Gabe is now my only one true love. Having him by my side is all I need and want. I can’t imagine my life without him he is my everything. Just being around him I get butterflies in my stomach. Knowing him was the best thing that happened to my life. Love like ours was hard to find but I had faith in us. Meeting his family meant something special to me. Nothing or no one will ever get in between our love. Our relationship is something incredible. Promises were made between us. Questions remain unanswered in our relationship. Real love is what our love is called, me and you forever. Starring into each other’s eyes is what made us fall in love. The moon and stars were we stair when were not together. Us together is beyond amazing. Value of our love. Working through our problems is the answer for making everything better. Xavier is what was going to name our second son. Your love is all I need baby. Zazzy is the style of our love.

Romance

Once upon a time there was this girl named Unique, she was smart, young and pretty. She was so full of life and just knew what she wanted. Unique did not want to go to her old school anymore. She was getting in trouble and knew she was able to do better somewhere else. She begged her parents to let her go to this new school, called "Atrisco". Her parents at first said no but then Unique explained how much she would try. Unique's parents finally gave in and said "they want to meet with the head people of the school."


On Monday morning Unique and her father went to register at the new school. Unique was waiting in the waiting area, well she was waiting she noticed a boy staring at her. She looked back at him and smiled. The minute she saw him she thought, she had to have him. They kept looking at each other smiling and giggling. Then you hear the principal saying "bring back Unique and Gabriel." Well I wondered who this guy Gabriel was. We got into the room and as soon as I turned around to sit down I saw the boy who starred at me coming into the same room. Unique got so nervous, because she was going to be right across from him. The whole time that Unique and Gabriel were in the room they could not stop starring at one another. Her father pointed out that they were giving googly eyes at each other, which made her blush and turn red. Unique thought he was so fine and knew she wanted to know more about him. Well it was time to leave I got approved to go to Atrisco, so did Gabriel.


The principal, Mrs. Griego told us both we would start tomorrow which was a Thursday. Unique was so excited to start her new school. She knew she had to make a good impression. She got prepared for tomorrow. Thursday morning she was late on her first day to school. She could not find her classes. On the way up the stairs to find her class, she bumps into Gabriel. They both said "hi" and smiled. They went their own ways to class. Around noon it was lunch time, she walked out of class and there was Gabriel waiting for Unique, he walked her down the stairs, asked her a couple of questions like, "how is my first day going". They had a crush on each other well; they both had friends so went with their friends.

When I accomplish all the thing on my list I know that I made everything I wanted to do into something I did do. I am never going to give up on anything I wrote because some of they are my dream. For example “becoming a nurse has been my dream job since I was 8 Years old”. I knew I wanted to become a nurse because I love helping people and doing good deeds. I know that some things on this list are going to be hard to do but I am willing to do and go throw the rough times as long in the end I am where I wanted to be, that is all that mattered. You always have to go through the dark in order to see the light.

Knowing they believe in me will make me push harder for what I want that is my plan to become everything on this list.

Avatar/Change

     I liked watching the movie Avatar bacause it reminded me so much of our Earth.  We are killing our earth and some people don't even know it. The movie was made to tell a story about our Earth and how were desteroying it. We let people make profit off of oil and kill our Earth when all there doing is killing all of us.  I think that our earth should be something that all of us care about. We should want to take care of it.

      As special as the tree is to the Avatars thats how we should be about our earth. Their is going to be people that want to ruin our Earth for others and we just have to fight for what we know is right. If we don't fight and be mad about what is going on today with the oil and how it is ruining our earth, then we've lost hope. I am angry about what is happening to our Earth. Our earth is just giving us a place to live and it is like our second mother because it gives us everything we have on earth.

      Our animals are dying because we have dumb ass people in our earth, that al they worry about is themselves, getting profit, and money. They don't worry about what they are doing to our world. They should relize without everything in this earth our world will be nothing and just die. They say they can fix what they did but we all know they ruined everything.  I want everyone to see what I see and that is that we should do as much as we can to save our world. I want the people that made the oil all over are ocean to see what they did and realize that they killed and hurt so many of earth's living things.

     Our generation can change thing that the other generation messed up. Even though I am 16 I have a voice that I want everyone to listen  to and hear what I have to say. I want to save our planet if I talk to people about what is going on they will see what I see and want to help to. We are killing something that we should care about. Why are so many people heartless and just trying to hurt something that gave us life. I want my kids to grow up and see everything I saw when I was young. So many Animals are dying because these people are careless, what am I gonna have to show my kids when everything is dead. I realized what we are doing to our earth I just have to tell others to listen and be angry about what is going on!!!

     Life is presious to me because I have a lot to give in this world!! I love my life because I am a loving person and very helpful. I take life day by day because so many things have happen to me and I still stand strong and hold my head up high. I've taken life as a gift, because you never know when its your turn to pass. Im a very strong person because I had my baby pass away and im still trying to move on and do good in this world. I know I am strong because it is the hardest thing putting your own blood and first child in the ground, and saying goodbye.
