I think that I would donate my five million dollars to a cancer and aids research company. I would want the money used to learn new ways to kill cancer and learn new ways to cure aids so that it could be wiped out from the world. With the other five million dollars I would first buy a house that isn’t to expensive (around two hundred and fifty thousand dollars), second I would buy a dodge charger just like the one from fast and the furious, and third I would put the rest in a bank account so that it could collect interest and make me more money.

I think it is wrong to be prejudice because I think that it is wrong to be against someone just because they are different or they are from a certain race, religion, or where they are from. I think prejudice is caused by either two things: the way they are raised or the friends they have.

Do you think he is right? Why or why not? Yes I think he is right because lots of people are different by the why they act or do. Some of the people don’t like rich people and because they get different things from every store. The poor people are the people that are on the streets and they live on the streets or the roads. Sometime the poor live in a house and that there houses are small. Yes there are people that hit rich people. Some of the people don’t care about rich people and because they have jobs they get pay. Put sometime they pay there house rent or they pay the gas and the electric. There are lots of people that are like that and that you can’t stop them from what they can do or not. They can make there own choice about what they do. So that why I put yes and the people should just dill with it every time and days. They have to get us to it.

What does it mean to live in the present? Well it’s to live now because there is past, present and future. So to live in the past is to I can’t say grieve for some ones death but like to well to live in the past. I can say that present is now future is later so past was before present is now future is later. How much do I think about my past and future? I don’t really think about my past but when I think about my future I hope it is better then my past. I think about it all the time some times I forget what im doing ya it’s kind of like day dreaming but not over a guy. But who knows what the future has for us? The only thing I want for my future is for kids and a good life. And I hope my kids have a better childhood then I did don’t get me wrong I had some good parts but mostly bad. I do think about now but what is there to think about in the present? There is some stuff but not much.

The most vivid memory

The most vivid memory in my life is when I was learning to ride my bike. Most people use training wheels but I didn’t want to. I’m pretty sure I should have. When I got used to it I stopped on a speed bump and forgot to put my foot down, fell over and started crying. It wasn’t very fun. When I went inside to tell my cousin he thought I broke my arm but I just hurt it pretty bad. And I think since that day ive always been interested in BMX bikes and know that’s something that I do really well. Right know I’m trying to be a pro BMX rider. For right now its working pretty well but I can’t do very much. The only thing I can do really well is dirt jumping.

This Halloween should be tight. I am going to go take my little proctor trick or treating and get a crap load of candy. I am going have a lot of fun my whole proctor family is going to dress up and go. It will be tight. We are got these masks that glue to your face so it looks likes it is you real face not a mask. It will be fun. My little proctor brother is way excited he is dressing up like a vampire. After we go tricker treating we might go over to my proctor mom’s dad’s house and hang out there. I think that it would be fun to go over there because he all kinds of like fun things to mess around with. I am excited because I love Halloween and it will be fun to scare little kids and that. I am going to have a lot if fun this Halloween. I wanted to go to a party but my program would not let me so I will just chill with my proctor family.

Stephen

I am way excited. On Thanksgiving I am going to my uncle’s house with my grandparents. I can’t wait I am going to have a ton of fun. Hopefully when we get done at there house then we can go back to my grandparent’s house. I hope that there is snow on the ground when I get there so I can go snowmobiling with my other uncle. I really want it to snow a lot in Logan because I love to snowmobile. My uncle just him a new skidoo rev xp 800 and I am going to ride his summit 700 that is piped and jetted. I am going to have a blast. I am going to try to get a home visit for three nights. If I get that then I will hopefully get to take at least one full day to snowmobile. I Hope that we can either go to Franklin basin or go to Tony’s grove to snowmobile. But anyway I will have a blast. I can’t wait.

What do you think causes people to have so much pride that they will go to the highest just so that they can show people that they have pride. Well in the book that I read the creator and the creature both had so much pride that they would do anything in order for people to believe them. For example the creator had so much pride for himself that in order to show the other towns’ people he made a monster and brought it to life.

Then the monster had so much pride for himself that in order to try and get some friends he would go and ask someone and they would run away and hide. Then after they would runaway he would kill them and then he would go and do it again. In the end the main message was that no matter how much pride you have you always want to keep it to yourself. Don’t make a fool of yourself because in the end it will back fire and hurt you.

Today has been a decent day. I am starting to like Summit High School because I have a lot of more respect from the other people here at this school. I have a lot more people who joke with me and talk to me than I have ever had in my life. The reason this is because I have always been the odd ball at all the schools I have ever gone to. This place has definitely helped raise my spirits and my self-esteem as well. I like the teachers and I have

What do you want to be`
When I was a kid I wanted to be a professional racer but as I got older I wanted to play professional baseball. I still do but it something you really have to want if you don’t want the one thing you want to be than your probably not going to get it. So if you really want something than you to practice everyday. Like me I practice my throwing and hitting everyday because that’s what I really want to do. For now I work at taco time so I can work my way up in the chain. But that’s the price to pay when you know what you want to do for a living but most people don’t know what they want to do.

When I was little I really wanted to be a police officer. As I grew up I lost interest in being a cop and started disliking most cops. There are some cool cops but most of them let the authority and power go to their heads. As I got a little older I started loving basketball and really wanted to be in the N.B.A. but life had other plans for me because I didn’t have the time to play and a few other things prevented me from practicing. I got really discouraged and stopped playing. I eventually lost interest in becoming an N.B.A. star when I realized that it most likely would never happen. After I started getting into high school and kept getting asked what I want to do when I grow up I got sick of always saying “I don’t know, I haven’t thought about it a whole lot” so I started trying to find things that I really enjoy doing that could eventually be a career. I found that I really like helping people and would really like to do something where I’m not just sitting at a computer. I want to be able to move around and have fun while I’m working. I’ve mostly been thinking about psychiatrics or message therapy. I’ve also thought about sports medicine.

The first one means to just take it step by step. If you have a lot to do then do it slowly and it will get done. If you cannot finish the task then come back and think ok I what I could so that is good. ex;
When I was 10 years old I had a lot to do and when I tried to it all at once I often failed to complete. My sister was coming to see me and she said I have so much stuff to do and I do not know were to start. And I said what is the biggest thing you need to do. Well she said I need to clean mom’s house. Ok start with that. So when you do not know were to start then ask for help. Well that was easy to explain but when ever you feel like your pushing your self to far then just stop….

What if someone asked you how you felt to live in the present? Well if someone asked me I would think and I would notice that to live in the present you have to live for today, not for yesterday and not for tomorrow. The reason why is that because if you live for any other day except for today than how can you know what is the true thing of the day.
For example I know that if you miss a day of school you can’t live for the previous day but you can only live for the present day. The way that I know is because you can’t turn back time, go to the previous day, and live that day over. Also you can’t turn time ahead so that you can skip a day ahead. So just remember that you can only live life one day at a time no matter how bad you want to turn time ahead or back. So as you live your life just remembers to taken a look at what you are doing and make sure that you don’t have any regrets.

Halloween experience
I think that my favorite Halloween memory is when I was fifteen; I dressed up as a hooker. I had a wig that was semi-long hair, fake breasts that were made of water balloons, a black mini skirt, and converse high tops that looked really weird with the whole costume in general. I went from house to house, getting candy from each one of the houses and then I started messing around. And then, I went to random guys and started to hit them (though I am not really gay, I did it to make my friends laugh). A lot of them actually thought that I was girl and so they started to hit on me too. When I told them that I was really a guy their faces were priceless. Faces dropped, some laughed nervously, and many got mad. Those are probably some of my favorite memories that I have when it comes to Halloween.

Morgan

What does it mean to live in the present?
Well it’s to live now because there is past, present, future so to live in the past is like to grieve for a death like that’s the only example I can say. Present is now Future is later so past was before present is now future is later. How much do I think about the past and future? All the time but not so much that I don’t think about the present if I think about my past to much then I will have night mares my past is horrible. But the future who knows what’s going to become of me. Ok so mat told me to write this o well. So I got behind on my homework last term so now every one is reading like 2 chapters ahead of me. So I am kind of like livin’ in the past!?

Well there is this girl I really don’t like and I just wish I can kick her butt with out getting into trouble. Also she talks a lot of crap and I feel locked up in this little ball, because there’s nothing I can do but fight her. It’s like when I try to talk with her. She just pushes me away and I want to hit her so bad. But again, I think about my program and my caseworker. I feel like she is trying to get me kicked out of my program. Also I feel like when we are in the program during the day after school she tries to push my buttons so I will kick her butt. It’s all good because I know how to control my anger every once in a while. So yeah am going to confront her and some stuff that bugs me and if she don’t want to hear it I’m going to find out what things bug her so I can push them to so she knows how its going to feel.
So yeah that’s the story…

I think that if you think too much about the future or the past than you end up living in that place. Sometimes it’s good to think about it. But you can have something bad happen when you do that. So its not the best thing to do you cant ever tell what effects it can have from certain time periods, but its always fun to think about the future because the more thoughts you have about it the more likely you are to have that thought come true. So it’s always good to think about it but you should only think about it right before you go to bed because when you do you think about it all night in you dreams and when you wake up it has the same effect. Most people think about the past and the future so much because they don’t really want to deal with what’s really happening, and then they end up going crazy or something. I know a kid that just had his big brother die and he doesn’t talk anymore. I think it’s because he hasn’t accepted the fact that he is gone. For some people it’s really hard to move on to the future and that’s the same thing he just doesn’t want to move out from the present.
