Summer of 2012 (:

The students who go to PCHS have about three weeks of school left. Then its summer break and I’m so excited! I have a lot of plans and things I want to do this summer. This summer I will have to work obviously, but when I’m not working I am going to go swimming, a lot with my friends and family. My family, friends, and I will probably have a lot of cook outs. Over the summer I’m going to Mississippi with my best friend for a week or two. I'm VERY excited for that mainly because I’m happy to get out of Paris and go on adventure on a little more of this world besides Paris Illinois. One thing I’m mainly excited about for this summer is getting a car. I haven’t gotten my first car yet, which I’m doing this summer and I’m so happy, I can’t wait. I have a lot of plans for this summer and I’m hoping this summer will be one I will always remember as a great memory.

Prom.

Prom is soon. I'm kind of excited but then again, not that excited. I'm a little nervous but not really that bad. Prom is something a girl gets stressed out about but I'm not because it's not that big of a deal to me. I just want to go and have fun with my friends. Prom is something that's fun, but I think it's something that gives teenagers a chance to make bad decisions also. That's just my opinion though. Theres a lot to do for prom, you have to get your dress, shoes, hair, nails, jewlery, etc. Prom sometimes cost a lot of money depending on what you want. I'm ready to go have fun with my friends at prom.

my favorite animal

My favorite animal is a dog. Dog's are adorable and they have a lot of special things about them. My favorite kind of dog is a lab. Most dogs are very smart and it's weird how smart they are. Like labs for example. Lab's are very smart about a lot of things, for an example when ever I get a piece of food and walk towards my lab he automatically sits down because he's wanting the piece of food I grabbed. I also love how playful dogs are when they are puppies. It makes my day every time. Dogs are also a good animal to have for protection and I really like that about them. There are many things to love about a dog and that's the reason why I love dogs so much and why they are my favorite animal.

Music.

What’s so great about music? There are many things about music that is great. There isn’t anything about music that isn’t good. Music does wonders for a human, by that I mean it sooths a person. Whenever I get mad or upset I listen to music and it helps me calm down and feel so much better. Usually country music works the best for me. Whenever someone makes me mad or upset I’ll play some of my favorite country music and I feel a lot better. It cheers me up. I’m sure everyone has their type of music that they like to listen to, to help them calm down and feel better. I believe that if music was never invented, everything would be very different today. I wouldn’t have a way to calm down whenever I get upset, that’s why I love music so much and that’s what’s so great about music.  

Fam[ily].

Family is something in your life you NEVER want to lose. Your family or even being able to have a family is something that's not only very special to have, its irreplaceable. Having a life’s worth memories with them isn’t something you can replace, being to different places and experiencing everything and life, you can’t replace any of that. Being able to come home after work, school, or other events, to a family that loves and cares about you is the best feeling in the world and losing that feeling will make you feel ill. By ill I mean, sick, frustrated all the time, and you’ll build up a lot of anger and the anger isn’t because of anyone else but yourself and that’s what makes it even worse. Losing your family make’s you so mad, upset, and disappointed at yourself and it’s not a good feeling. When times get hard and you feel like you don’t have anyone to turn to and you don’t want to do anything besides “runaway”. Rethink! Because when times get hard and you feel like you don’t have anyone to turn to and you just want to “runaway”, your family’s there. You may not know it and it might be hard but they really are there for you no matter what you think. When you get mad at your parents or your siblings and you want to “runaway” don’t because it will only make matters worse, take it from someone who’s experienced this, whose experiencing it at this exact moment. Even if you disagree, your family is all you got so don’t let a little anger get to you and force you to “runaway” and lose your family.

Cigarettes.

Why should cigarettes be abandoned? There are multiple reasons why cigarettes should be abandoned. They are very bad for your health, they yellow your teeth, and they turn your lungs black. Cigarettes are bad for your health because your health risks increase a little more with every drag. Even if you brush your teeth everyday three times a day, or seven times a day your teeth will still rot and turn yellow. The biggest problem with smoking cigarettes is your lungs. Not only will your lungs turn black and you have a very high risk of getting lung cancer, you can’t move like you can if you don’t smoke, and what I mean by that is you won’t be able to run, walk, or exercise as good if you smoke cigarettes. Those are all good reasons why people shouldn’t smoke and why cigarettes should be abandoned. Now, those are the health problems that may occur from smoking, and that’s not all that’s bad about smoking. When you smoke or you’re around your friends or family that smokes, it stinks. And it stinks really badly, your clothes and hair will reek of cigarette smoke and your breath will smell very bad. Also with every drag of a cigarette it pollutes the air with that nasty smoke and it’s just not healthy for anyone. That’s some more good reasons why cigarettes should be abandoned. I don’t think many people could fight this because there are no good in cigarettes at all, so don’t you think cigarettes should be abandoned too?

South Dakota.

I love going to South Dakota for vacation. South Dakota is a beautiful state and everything about it makes me want to go back even more. The thing I like the most about South Dakota is that the people there are so generous and kind no matter what, and I also like the neighborhood I was living in while I was there. South Dakota has a lot of different things to do to entertain yourself unlike here in Paris where there is absolutley nothing to do! In South Dakota there is a beautiful view everywhere you go, the hills, and the millions of acres of land you can just look at while your driving, I love it all. South Dakota is somewhere I would love to live at, it's so peaceful. Another thing about South Dakota I love is the resteraunts are very good. I love eating while i'm there. I've only stayed in South Dakota for a couple weeks, and i've lived in Paris my whole life and I'd rather live in South Dakota. I love South Dakota, and I can't wait until I'm "able" to go and live there.
