LUKE I AM UR FATHER!!

The hero's journey is a journey into the center of yourself "how is this true for both luke & anakin (darth vader)?" be specific.

Anikin was turned in to darth vader after being raised by obe one kanobe. His life was a very messed up thing he had so many ups and downs it was crazy but he knew what he loved and he tended to get very angery all the time. He got his arm choped off and fell in to hot lava. He was turned from a sweet caring loving guy to darth vader a mean evil hatrad man. Everything he once owned or had was gone. He lost it all he did have 2 kida luke and princess laya and they never knew who there father was tell they where much grown up. Lukes life was full of lies. He did find out his dad was alive and someone he never expected to know it was and then found out he had a sister as well. Luke let darth vaders peopel catch him casue he thought he could change his father back to the good side casue he felt the good in him. He found out he was right but in the proces he was almost turned to the dark side. LIfe is not always what you expect it to be but its only as good as you expect it or let it to be. Not everyone is the same. Just live your life how you want it to be and dont let anyone change you to be something they want you to be.

community service

What did you do for community service? Why did you choose that? Describe the time you spent and what you did. Finally, what did you learn about helping others? What did you learn about yourself?

For my community service I got to be a landscaper, take down a shoe store, help at a track meet, and work at frosh orientation. The landscaping part was the hardest one of all just because the weather did not help one bit it would be perfectly sunny and nice and then out of no place start raining or being freezing. It was not to fun. I picked to do this one because it was something I like doing and a close family friend really wanted his yard done and my uncle (not related at all family Friend) owns a landscaping company. So it was a really fun thing that took a very long time. I got to learn about different kind of plants and flowers and where they would grow better and the sun where it would be best so it got more light or less. I would have had no idea there was a certain way you had to plant a rose bush that was half grown already so it wouldn't die on one side and be really pretty on the other. I learned it’s a really good thing to go and help others and not get payed for anything just to do it cause they want it done and you earn to be more respectful to others just because your helping them. I learned I'm actually not bad at being a helper and I am rally good at digging a whole cause I'm lower to the ground and smaller so it’s easy for me to do compared to taller people.

Shelly, manager of factory brand shoes, allowed me to come down to her work and take down some of the shelves at her store. A first it took forever cause we could not figure u how they came apart then we found a little clip thing you had to move and put over the top of a screw to be able to get them to move. That was an adventure all in its self. It took us about 7 hours to take apart five shelves. It was very sad. I relived, once again, being small is a very good thing you can fit in a shelve to take it apart.

Fairly was having a track meet and was way over his head in everything and needed help Callie, Destiny, and I said we would help him out and work the table and sell shirts. That was a very hot day and being on that track was just horrible! It made it like 20 degrees hotter than it really was. That track meet seemed to go on forever and once it was almost done he allowed us to leave so we left and I don't know about them but I took an ice cold shower when I got home. One thing I did learn was when it's hot out side do not stand on a track under a red canapé.

The last thing I did was work at the freshman orientation. I got to sign in all the new frosh and see what ones did not come so we could let them know what was going on. It was a lot of fun but it made me realize how much I'm going to miss this school. I can’t believe I'm a senior already half the frosh are taller than me. Even my own little sister is. The one thing I learned about my self by doing this is parents really appreciate someone that knows what there doing and helping them out.

After all my community service was done I still did more just because it made me fill well about helping out other people that needed the help. I went to the horse sanctuary and worked there all the time and the haven humane society just because it makes me fill good that I'm helping others out. There is so much everyone could do for this community so why not go help everyone you can.

Pakistan

if i was there right now i would be very mad. I think thats not right at all that only guys are allowed to go to school and learn. if it was tlike that here ther would be some very very mad girls cause guys are always put before girl and we have tryed so hard to prove anything a guy can do a girl can do too. having an education is very important to all of us witouht it we wouldent have anything. notihng would ever be the same...

EARTH DAY!!

is the writer correct? did you ever know today is earth day? what do you and/or your family do to help protect the earth?

The writer is correct in what he was saying. The earth needs to be protected. If we do not help protect our earth we may not have it much longer which would not be good at all. All the polutions are killing off food and making the air bad for us to breath. I honestly do not know what my family does for the earth besides we recycle and use stuff very wisely. It's very bad for me to say but I honestly dont think we really do anything. I have a bad thing I can share to prove im not sure what we do. I just got a car for my bday and it did not pass smog and got marked as a gross poluter which is not good but ive still drove it around to go to wal mart and holiday and back. Ya thats bad for the earth but I never really thought about it.

Things NOT to Learn in School !!!

Of the 8 things NOT to learn in school- which have you learned? Give me an example of each one (no names) you learned. If you didnt learn any of the 8 lessons what helped you avoid them?

From the time i started school i was always told to do my best in everything and never relay on make ups and giving stuff half ass casue that will get you no place in life. My parents have raised me that way. so nothing on the 8 things have anything to do with me. Most everything i have seen friends or family learn the hard way and i rather not put my left there and id rather just do my best and get it over with and pay attention and get good grades and make schoola good thing in my life more than a wast of time.

economic problems.

People today are taking things very hard and there is a lot of people selling things for dirt cheap just to make money and pay off bills and get food. They are losing there homes, having to give away things they love that cost them to take care of such as animals. Nothing is like it use to be back then. Costs have gone up a lot and they are still climbing to this day.

My family is taking it very hard as my mom works at a school and my dads company got bought out and he might be losing his job that he started when he was 20. If they both lose there job mostly my dad we will have nothing. We have had to cut back on things we use to do like traveling and going riding and just kind of being wastefully. we sit at home and watch TV and go run and play softball more than anything anymore.

I have changed on not eating so much and only when I'm hungry. Drinking just water and milk when we get it. The only thing that really sucks for me with economy so bad my dads scared to buy me a car and then have him lose his job and Ive been looking for a job and no one is really looking for anyone right now. So my parents have to drive me everywhere I go and that is very expensive as they have to make two trips in stead of one.
