Reflection

I changed as a person from this year in a lot of ways. I changed from eperiences at home and experiences at school. This past year has been very dificult on me and i've learned to change. Academically i always been smart and get good grade so that hasn't changed. This year i have been put in a 10th grad class and i am in 9th grade so sometimes that got changellenging. At the begining i had it good and it was just a regular class but at the ending i started to get careless about my grade and didn't apply myself as much. I don't want to act cocky or anything but the rest of my 9th grade classes are pretty easy, it's basically just turning in work and getting a good grade on tests.

Socially it's been okay, but i did change. i realized that not everybody is your friend and although they smile in your face and act like your friend behind your back they talk about you. But this is high school a lot of drama is going to stir up. I just think that everybody should be friends and get along and high school would be easier but there's always a trouble maker in the group. Nothing really happened to me as in drama but i still know people are talking about me. One minute you guys are friends, next minute you guys are enimies, thats high school.

I have met knew people and although it didnt come out as i wanted it to i still liked the experience in some situations. i met some good friends and some fake ones but it all ended in an learning experience about people. My opinions about people have changed this year because i learned about how people have different opinions and personalities and you have to learn them.

man eating another mans face

In miami a man named Rudy Eugene started to eat Ronald Poppo's face. Ronald poppo was homeless and defenseless. They found rudy on top of ronald eating his face in a beast like behavior. The cop told him to stop and Ronald roared at him and then the cop shot him and he died. They said Ronald was on drugs called bath salt. Bath salt makes you really crazy and in some states it is banned. He went on a LSD trip and they say it might be cocaine. LSD makes the body temperature rise and makes you want to take all your clothes of so that made Ronald take his clothes off. A lot of people think this is a Zombie apoclypse happenning and people are really scared.

I think this is really scary that people get so high to the fact they want to eat someone's face. When i heard this i was so shocked and i was confused. But i don't think this is a zombie problem because i dont believe in things like that. People just made up everything and people actually believe it. It is scary but the man was just on drugs really hard and he had lost control of his mind.

Tony Hawk said "I believe that people should take pride in what they do, even if it is scorned or misunderstood by the public at large."

I agree with tony hawk because people need to follow their dreams and do what they believe. The world out their scorns everything you do if your not normal, have a normal job, hang around normal people and listen to normal music. They want life to be so black and white but once you mix in a little color they talk about you or say its not good for you. If you believe and take their word you'll just regret doing it later on in life. Sometimes your better off doing what you want to do and following your dreams. For instance, Kanye West, My favorite artist. He is fashion designer and a musician. He has influence me and the world in abundance! Since that Taylor Swift incident, people hated him. If he would of stopped writing music he would have stop following his dreams. Despise all the words he has been called and how much he has been scorned by the world he still went for what he loved and thats making music.

No matter what people say to you or how much they look down at you, you should still follow what you believe in. Another example is your religion. If everybody hates your religion are you going to stop following what you believe in because of the rest of the world's opinions? I wouldn't. So i agree with tony hawk 100%.

whiteness

The article "Broadcasting a World of Whiteness" by Jon Carmanaica is about how on tv their a lot of white actors and less minorities. The article says that in a show called "Girls" there is only white young females looking for love but no race other than white. They also state that on big shows on ABC and CBS that their are not enough minorities that act as a main role. Also on a show called "The Bachelor" they denied to black men and they thought it had something to do with their race.

I think that there are not enough shows on television with diverse cast. Sometimes when there's a show about 4 guys finding love or any comedy thing there is usually 3 white guys and 1 black guy. Why couldn't it just be 3 black guys and 1 guy, then it would be called an african american movie and a lot of people wouldn't want to watch. It goes back to being a racial issue in america. Some producers would rather put white people in because thats what people are comfortable with and there is nothing wrong with producers trying to make a hit show but out of 10 people could at least 4 of them not be white? I have watch something that was racist but its so sad i just laugh it off. There's nothing I could do but watch but its funny of how pathetic it is.

Producers should make a diverse show with every kind of race and not make it a "Mexican show" or a "African American show" but just a "show".

gun fashion.'

The new fashion is now clothes that hides your gun and makes it more comfortable for you. A company called Woolrich made these clothes. They added front and back pockets to hide your gun, knife or flashlight. Some people like the clothes because it hides the gun and makes them look less sloppy or makes it more appealing. They want to have a gun but they also want to look good having one. Some people think it useless because they rather look like a regular guy with a gun and not so fashionable with a gun. The law allows this and in most states they allow you to walk around with a gun and a permit for it.

I think this clothing line is very absurd. What's the point to look fashionable with a gun? Why have a gun anyway? I think this lets a lot of people think its okay to have a gun. Also since it is easier to pull the gun out and easier to use they would probably want to pull out their gun and look cool doing it with their new clothes specially made for their gun. I think these clothes are very unnecessary because it doesnt really matter weather you look good with a gun or not. This doesn't really affect me because i dont have a gun and im not interest in having one. But some people really like these clothes and can't wait to be in style with their gun.

Abortion

On April 12th 2012, Shayira Farmer came in to talk to 9th  graders about Abortion. She showed them a poster board and a power point on how Abortion kills life and how that there are other options. There are 1.37  million abortions per year and about 3,700 abortions a day. She said that some reasons that women have abortions is that they are too young or they are just not ready for the responsibility. Also that some fathers aren't always there and women don't want to be a single mother. 52% of all abortions happen to women under the age of 25. She made the presentation for her 12th grade final project to graduate. Farmer said she chose that type to keep teenagers away from pregnancy and abortion and that she chose this because millions of women have abortion and it hurts them physically and mentally. Farmer said "There are other options like adoption, birth control and condoms. There are other options why not try it?

Farmer said she wants to attend Virginia State college. When students asked if she had got pregnant now, would she get an abortion and surprisingly she said yes. She stated that she is too young and she is not ready for a baby.

I think that abortions are absurd. Why would you want to take someones life? I believe that the life starts at the fetus. You can always have the baby but give it someone who can not have a baby. If you are old enough to have sex you are old enough to deal with the consequences.

kim and kanye

Kanye West has a recent crush on celebrity Kim Kardashian. There love been in magazines, articles and entertainment shows. Kanye West just released an song called Theraflu and is mostly about Kim. Kim recently just divorced her husband Kris Humpries and kanye wesr said in his song that kris humpries is lucky that he didnt get his close friend jay z kick him out the nets since jay z owns part of the nets. According to eonline.com kim kardashian's mother said "First of all, he's been a friend of the family for so long and so I love them both," Kris said. "But, you know, I stopped trying to make judgments on who they [her kids] go out with because I always get myself into trouble."


In huffingtonpost.com they say  "But sources tell TMZ it's nothing personal against the rapper; Jenner just wants Kardashian to proceed with caution and not rush into things after filing to divorcehusband of 72 days, Kris Humphries, in October 2011."


i think that it doesnt matter weather they date or not, its their lives. Although Kim is rushing into it because she just got out of an relationship that only lasted 3 months. Even if they proceed with this i think they wouldnt get far into it. Kanye west looks like he likes girls like Kim so he doesnt really have a bad affect of his part but im worried about Kim.
