Community Service

Community Service
In my senior year I have had to complete 20 hours of community service to graduate. Throughout the year I have done about five different jobs for people. My first experience was for at the happy valley elementary school. I had to help set up for the harvest festival. We set up game booths and tables to put food and games on. For the rest of the day I got to run one of the game stations. It was . I had to go around and put different shapes under little circle mats that where in a circle kind of a circle close enough. So that when the music stops and they stop on a mat they can pick it up to see if they won anything. Mostly they won candy and for the rare ones they got a king size candy bar. After doing that for about six hours it was time to clean up. So we helped take the tables in side and take down all the declarations and put them in the storage.
The next one I did was short but fun I got to go around and sell Rafael tickets or 50/50 tickets for sober grad for 2 hours at a varsity football game. I walked around the football field about 50 times and every time I decided to the other team’s side it was vary awkward because they were losing so I decided to stay away from that side. What I did is took a deck of cards and gave the people who bought one half the card and after they all sold I had the football announcers and they picked a card and announced it.
In my opinion my most boring time was ringing bells for the Salvation Army. I stood in front of KB toys witch is now closed. I did this a couple days before Christmas and sang Christmas songs for anyone who would be brave enough to listen. That day I raised about 150$ and almost froze to death.
My fourth experience was a 8th grade dinner dance for the happy valley school and I had to set up lots of tables and move lots of hay bails to outline the room we set up a stage for a band to come play and put wall paper all around the room we set the tables and put table cloths on every table I spent about 2 hours in a small room making it completely dark in there for pictures. At about 8 we got pizza for coming to help. I left about 9 and went home.
My last and final experience was a sober grad car wash I had to go to a corner and wave a sign to let them know where it was after about an hour another school came by and started a car wash right across the street. After another hour I went up and got pizza and helped wash and dry cars for the rest of the day. We did this for about 4 hours and made over 600 dollars for sober grad

Pakistan’s Islamic Schools Fill Void, but Fuel Militancy

This article talks about how people in packastan are only 20% literate and that 80% are illiterate. They are trying to build more schools in packastan but the people their wont allow anyone to continue on with school parents have stoped thier kids with scolor ships but make them turn it dwon and go get a job. Every girl in packenstan except the higher class and parents who send them out of the county for an educattion.

I think that this dose affect not olny them but it affects everyone that is helping them learn people have lost thier life trying to teach them be geting burned alive and thats was for trying to help then read and wright. it would also help us alot becuase we wouldent be sepending 690 million dollars to thier county to help them learn that is just geting burned down.

So in the long run i think that if we send money or people we need to send troops to protect it other wise we shouldent send it becuase it will just get burned down.

Family's fight aginst pic's

In this artical it talks about a 18 year old girl that lost her life in a car accident and the family is getting herased by pictures from every direction. She crashes a 911 prosche at 100 miles and hour into a cement toll both. People around the area keep sending the family pictures of their near decapitated daughter and the family is liveing in fear of seeing these pictures.

I think they should win the legal battle but they never will becuse of the free speach. I mean you cant get every one that knows what happened to shut up about it or stop posting picture's If this was one of my family member and every one heraserd me i think i would take it really hard at first and then relize that people in the world can be complete jerks and i would learn to ignore them.

I think that they should filter the inter net for people who chose to have it filterd becuase not every one in the world will want that so every who does should get a filter box or something. People who chose to look at this arnt nesasarly bad people just corious and when to see what happens.

Earth Day

This artical talks about earth day and how we only celabatrait it once a year and that people dont even relize we have earth day. I think we should keep earth day and just show people that it exsists so that more can come and help the ones that already do.

I think the wrighter is correct becuase if people are staring to relize that we do not need earth day to keep the earth green people are starting to just take care of the earth. So when earth day comes around no one relizes it is earth day and if they do that dont change the way they do anything becuase they already help

My family hardly dose any thing we do not recycal i try to use less water and electrcity. we do recycle one thin witch is cans from soda but we dont get that much but at least its something.

Things not to learn in school

In school you learn many things but there are a few you need to not learn. Like you only need to get 70% my freshman year i learnd this becuase my parents wanted me to at least to get a C and not worse so i learn all i have to do is get 70% or better and im good. After that year i saw that what i learnd was bad so i tried to turn that around and it took me a few years to get where i wanted to be it was a big mistake to learn that 70% is ok because in real life you wont servive.

The second thing i learnd that i shouldnt have was you only need to know what's on the test. Teachers have told me all through out my high school test that you only need to know a certian part of the test. THis has been true but in real life it wont be test i have to take wont be just on one thing it will be on every thing and about anything on it.

Stop Me if You’ve Heard This One

This artical talks about a story in the 1920's and how the great depresion affected every one. Also it talks about how our hard times are here and what we can try to do or get from the past to help us in the present. People are freking out and dont know what to do. What they need to do is talk to the paresnt who have lived in the times of the great depression and figure out what they did to servive.

People now are loseing thier jobs homes and all in all just down sizeing this is a good thing to do when you dont have enough money to really pay for every thing you need. People are cuting back on necencials TV phones and Internet to save money. People are also cuting back on expensive food going out to eat or useing alot of water or lots of lights.

My family has lost our house and have moved around lots of times but we have cut back on food water we have no TV but we have internet and phones becuse thats something we need. We have downsized from 5 arcers down to not even half of and acer so we have cut back on many thing to help us in this economic time. We also have gotten a room mate to pay for half the rent and utilitys to help us pay and survie in this hard economic time.
