WHAT WEBLOGS MEAN TO ME

                     What weblogs mean to me is creativity! It takes creativity to write a 5 paragraph paper so anybody in the world can see it. Also to take two hours out your class time to write and you have to make up your work it takes creativity to know when and how to learn what you missed. See to me weblogs is like a part of my soul something I can't live without. When I can't express my feelings I shout inside. It's like a lion trapped in a cage wanting to get out and attack.

                       WHAT IN YOUR LIFE YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT? 

THE QUIZ BOWLERS

                                      Have you ever been selected for a trivia thing where you have to answer questions on news around the world. Well I have, at our school it is called the quiz bowl. In third grade I was selected and Lisa Rozier. We did pretty good we worked together and took turns answering so I believe we were OK. In fourth grade I didn't make it but this year I did. Jake Scroggins and I went to the quiz bowl. Me and Jake were close friends so it would be easy to get along and maybe win. We mostly had to study at home because we didn't have time to study at school. This year was going to be hard we went against the smartest in the school. From Mrs. Tobler Alrondra Rios and Shawn Fryman,Ms.Hennings was Martha Guzman and Rocio Ventura,Mrs.Strangs was Jose-Juan Trujillo and Jorge Mendez,and last but not least Mrs.Emmert Derrick Barbee and Jake Scroggins. Our competition was hard but we still succeed. I would love to do Quiz bowl again any time.

THE AXE MURDERER!

         Have you heard of any weird murders this week. Well if you haven't you are going to now. Twenty year-old Paul Taylor will spend at least 23 years in prison for killing 15 year-old Anthony Walker. Wow can you believe that? If you thought  that was interesting wait til you hear this. His 17year-old cousin Micheal Barton, who supplied the murderer with weapons was sentenced to prison for 17years. Anthony was attacked with an ax while escorting his girlfriend to the bus. I can't believe that someone would attack a high schooler with an ax while he was escorting his girl. I wonder how the girlfriend felt watching him die right before her beautiful eyes so much agony and pain! The judge described this case as "poisonous!"

                                          HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE THIS CASE?

IF I HAD ONE WISH!

If I had one thing to give to the world it would be happiness and peace. For example when we declared war with Iraq Bush could of just asked did they have weapons of massive destruction. Then if he saw them or heard them then he could have sent the soldiers. Another one is the hurricanes. When the hurricanes happened everybody was shocked . This part makes me really think. When something happens to a family or a natural disaster cause a tragedy they blame the leader[president]. I mean it wasn't his fault it happened. I guess that I just don't understand. The way I would bring happiness and peace is by becoming a leader who everybody follows because I will lead them to the right path! See people just a few words can stop us from being a united country!
