Christmas FREEWRITE

Christmas is my favorite holiday. Not only do you get gifts; but it is a time of celebration for the birth of Jesus, and you get to spend time with family and friends without having to worry about school. This year should be exciting, since we are moving. It's kinda like starting over. We have a new place for everything to take place. I can't wait to get moved in. I hope my 2008 Christmas has many good memories.

Anything (;

Today is the last home varsity football game. I have to work unfortunately. Hopefully the game will still be going on when i get off at nine. So i can at least see the seniors walk the field and see some of the action. I'm totally excited for tonight. I hope this weekend is fantastic and goes as i plan. (:

Banned Halloween Costumes

Should this school ban halloween costumes? I'm not so sure, but they have every right too. That boy must have no respect for others at all. He was 17 years of age, he should've known better than that. Especially, considering all the Jews in that area. Honestly though, i don't think that every kid in that school should have to be punished for one guys decision. He should've paid his price for disrespecting others and the whole ordeal should have been over with. It isn't up to me though. So from the story, the costumes are banned this year.

Invisible

I haven't really ever imagine being invisible. If i was though, i would use it to full advantage. I would go wherever i wanted and to  do whatever i felt like doing. The advantages of this would be i could get into places for free, leave my house whenever, and the biggest advantage is that i could do whatever whenever and never get caught.  There are also disadvantages with being invisible. Sometimes i like being noticed and if i was invisible there would be no possible way of that. Also, I'm sure i would scare some people and I'd hate to be that person. I'm just thankful I'm not invisible even though it sounds pretty interesting sometimes.

Memory

I've got so many memories, it's hard for me to choose one to wright about. One of the worst memories that i have is when my sister's biological father lived with us. I was around the age of five and my mom worked all the time. So my sister and I stayed home with him, Jeff. He was about the rudest person i've ever meet. He was always so abusive to us all. One main memory I have; that I will never forget. Is one day we had sandwiches for supper, and i wanted turkey cheese and mustard but instead, he gave me bologna. Which i happen to hate. I was so upset and I told him I wasn't going to eat it. So he picked it up and threw on the ground and hit me across the face with the hanger, he had in his hand. So of course i was hysterical. I tried to get up and go to my room. Just so i could away from the whole situation, but he grabbed me by my arm and told me i better pick up my sandwich and eat it. I told him no that was nasty, but he told me if i didn't i was going to get it even worse. Anyways, i ended up eating the dirty, disgusting bologna sandwich while sobbing with tears. He made me swear not to tell my mother about anything that ever happened or he would beat her as well. So i always kept everything to myself. Up until he tried to kill my mom while they were cooking supper. Thats when i let it all out after he went to jail, and I knew he couldn't do anything about it. My mom was a complete wreck after she figured out what had been going on. She was kind of mad at me for not telling her, but then again, she had to look at it from my point of view. I hate that i went through this everyday for so many years, but it has made me a much stronger person.

No Bonfire

I'm pretty sure the whole "get ride of the bonfire thing" has upset a lot of people. I know I am. We have been having a bonfire on the Thursday before homecoming ever since I can remember and way before that. I've really enjoyed it every year. Hopefully we can come up with some new bright idea soon. This year we are doing a parade, I'm really not so sure about the whole idea. It could possibly be fun though. I'll guess I'll find out on Thursday.

I wish

"I wish there were a law that said I could drive legally, This would be a good law because I drive a lot. Like last night i wouldn't have gotten a ticket. I think if we know how to drive and we've got a permit then we should be able to go places without a parent in some cases. As an example: last night my parents were in bed when i got home and i had to go get some tampons. So i just took the car. Then i got pulled over when i was almost there cause i had my fog lights on, which was stupid cause i was almost to my destination. I tried to explain to him but he just seemed shocked at what i had said, but at least i was telling the truth. Also, I kinda think me and Carli laughing in his face about it had to do with some of the reason he gave me a ticket. Thank goodness that he dropped one of them when my dad showed up though. All because they know each other pretty well. 

Wealth Vs. Beauty

If i had the choice to be wealthy and ugly or poor and beautiful, I'd probably choose wealth and ugly. That way i wouldn't have way few worries than the others that were beautiful and poor. Also, if i wanted too i could use my money and have all different kinds of surgery's to make me just as beautiful, then i wouldn't have to worry about anything at all. ;) 

10 years from now

Journal 9-15-08

Ten years from now, I'd like to see myself in a completely different lifestyle. Hopefully by then i'll be graduated from college with my masters degree to be a pediatrician. Maybe by then i'll have found the person i want to spend the rest of my life with. I don't particularly want any kids until I'm out of school, and everything is situated. All because i'd hate for my children to have to struggle. I want there to be no finacial worries at my household. I want my family to be happy, healthy, and well-behaved. Most importantly though, I want us to have a christian lifestyle. 

If I could change one thing about my life

Journal 9-10-08

If I could change one thing about my life it would be, to change school hours. Everyday I dread getting up so early just to attend school. I mean I do enjoy school and i want a good education, i just don’t enjoy the early wake up. I wish we could at least wait till ten to be at school. That would be fantastic. So yeah, thats is the one thing i would change, if only i could.

9-11

Journal 9-11-08

On September 11, 2001 when the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked, I was in the third grade. I can slightly remember my teacher Mrs. Bottom, turned on the news and we basically listened to the news for the most of day. It was definitely different from any other day of school. That day was tragic, I couldn’t believe so many woman and men lost their lives due to terrorists. I didn’t understand why anyone would want to harm someone especially innocent people, and to this day i still don’t get it. I hope that one day, this world will have some kind of peace. It is a relief though, that one of those members of that plane wasn’t anyone i knew personally. So if i could do something to help remember all the loved ones that lost their lives, I would have a day in remembrance. So that the whole day you could be with the ones you still have with you, and that way you could all remember your loved one. 

Justin Gannaway

Last night the Childress Bobcats faced the Iowa Park Hawks, and something tragic happened during the third quarter of the JV game. Justin Gannaway was hit hard, and excourted off the field. A few minutes later to come, He has a seizure and they had to give him oxygen and take him to Witchita Falls to have emergancy brain surgery. This morning we found out everything has gone as the doctors would've liked. Nothing is for certain yet. I just hope God contiunes to bless Justin, and help him recover with good health. You are in our prayers Justin. We love you.
