How To Save A Life

2 or 3 weeks ago, the worst shooting happened in American history.It happened at Virginia Tech and the shooter was a South Korean. A lot of media and press has been saying that he is insane.Which I believe is true,but I don't think that's the whole story. Think about it if you were in his position. I was one of the one's when I was young to be picked on and made fun of for various reasons and I still am kind of.Whether it was that my mom and dad didn't make enough money or whether it was that I had glasses, they still picked on me.I am in no way saying that that man was innocent. He did a horrible thing and I will remember it forever just like I do 9/11.I mean if someone would just have tried to understand him and try to talk to him 33 people would not be dead.Now other killers are thinking well that's not fair I want to be the one that made history for killing a lot of people.This is just not happening at universities and colleges, but at schools.Even at elementary schools deranged kids are shooting and killing people.If the world doesn't stop being lazy and not caring, then you and I may see the end of mankind.I don't care what kind of situation your in, we are all going to have to start caring and helping to help these people that are deranged.This is the main way, in this situation, on how to save a life.

Accidents

This is the worst thing in America right now as far as automobiles.People think that this can never happen to them, but all of a sudden it just happens.This tragedy has one terrifying element, the element of surprise.This not only happens in automobiles but in all kinds of things. Things like leaving your project at home, spilling your coffee on your boss, and selling your sister's phone.Those are all accidents and they all have the element of surprise.I don't want to sound like a boring teacher,but this is a major tragedy that's happening all over America and the world.Even though we think it will never happen to us, that everything will be ok, that nothing matters anymore, it happens and there's nothing we can do about it.Some lives may be even taken when an accident happens.Even though most of it's not our fault, making stupid desicions can cause an accident to happen and even take a life.Stuff like drunk driving and not paying attention, is one of the main causes of accidents.Teenagers that are reading this are probably thinking this guy's a loser.Well I may be a loser now, but when you start driving a car and your drunk and you have an accident and die, we'll see how much of a loser i am now for doing the right thing and standing out for what I believe is true.

Number 5: Ginger Pye

Ginger Pye is a great story to me because it tells of a boy and his dog that get split up and the boy has to solve a mystery to find him. The author does a great job making the story so real and lifelike.

Number 4:Harry Potter( the series)

I love this book because it displays so many things such as magic, drama, mystery, and love. When an author combines all these things into one series, it makes for a great book and a great seller.

Number 3: The Contender

Since i love sports, this book was awesome.It told a story of a boy who trained to be a professional fighter and had to go through obstacles of family and friends.This story has a motivational motto that says,"Don't give up no matter what gets in your way".

Number 2: Shiloh

This is a awesome story about a boy fighting all the evil people and their ways.In order to get the one thing he wants: a dog. This story displays courage, motivation, and the right to stand up for what you believe in.

Number 1: Where The Red Fern Grows

This book is the best book in the history of mankind.This book puts every element of writing into one great book.This is about a boy who fights for the thing he wants with so much heart and so much pride that he finally gets it.The author does a great job with the storyline and characters.

A lot of kids have ordinary English teachers, but me and my class are far from an ordinary teacher. This is not a bad thing or is it? She has some positive traits about her and some negative traits. She is a very fun teacher. We do a lot of hands-on learning and not a whole lot of teachers do that anymore. It's just the same old boring stuff for them. She is almost all the time happy(except when we bomb a test).These fun projects help us to remember what we learned and comes in handy on tests.But, not everything about this teacher is good. She gives EXTREMELY hard tests and even harder exams.When we are assigned assignments she makes them so very long.When you wake up at 6:15 for 5 days straight every week and have a class in the early morning, you're not in the best of moods.There are some things I would change about her. First off when I can't think I would appreciate it if a gun barrel was not pointing at me. I mean who wants to be soaked with cold water at 8:30? Second I would shorten,(just a bit),the assignments during the day. Lastly, I would like to do more hands-on projects in class.But, She is a good teacher so there's not a lot about to complain.

Careers and Rich Snobs

This is the thing that all people want and they all want a good one. Most people want careers that make you famous and rich. But I want a normal career. I plan to either restore old cars, make cars into race cars, or work with a big name NASCAR team such as Richard Childress Racing. It angers me to think about how professional baseball players make $10,000 every time they step up to plate. While hard working, low wager, Americans are working in factories and grocery stores to supply for the richest people's needs. When little kids are growing up, most of them dream of having a big shot job, having a huge house, and Ferraris. When i was growing up I never really saw a need for big houses and fast cars( except on a racetrack).i mean why do you need all that space if you only have a family of four? Why do you need fancy cars on a highway, when you could just buy a regular car, that's more fuel efficient and dependable, and save all that money you would be spending on fancy cars , to donate to charity, American Heart Association, cancer associations, the U. S. army, and military. You may think more differently than me but if you have any love in your heart for all the homeless and needy and you have so much money you have to rent storage houses to hold it all, you will give your money to people that really need it

The Famous English Middle School Teacher

Some say she's mean as a hornet. Some say she nice as a bunny. This is my famous middle school English teacher. Of all my teachers, She's the hardest but the most fun. She gives EXTREMELY hard tests that make her famous, but assigns very fun projects . Sometimes she makes me want to pull my hair out, but other times I don't want to leave her class. This teacher is my favorite of all.

Being A Jew

Since we are still reading the diary of Ann Frank, I am Going to write about a project my class has done. Our teacher told us to put on trash bags. So we did and she told all the yellow haired, blue eyed people to line up in the front of the class. She told us that the Germans wanted a perfect race, nothing like Arians. So she squirted them with a water gun and said that we were dead. So then she said that she wanted a perfect race with red hair and green eyes. She selected the student and treated her like royalty. She then asked the student to select the top 4 smartest people and told them to stand at the front of the class. She asked the student if she wanted people smarter than her, she said no and so she " killed them". This kind of process went on and on. She started killing people for no reason. This should be an example for all the teachers that think they do a good job teaching but don't.
