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.

Intellectual property

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7978853.stm

If the U.S. follows with a similar law, how could you be affected? What is "Intellectual property" and why is it important?

Any time you log on to the computer someone could be watching what your doing and if they make a law like that someone just about has free will to get on to your computer and go threw your stuff when they want to just cause they loged on to there site once. They should not make a law like that casue privace just went and flew out the window.

"Intellectual Property" is something at someone else does and you take it and take all the credit for it without paying for it. or what it says on http://www.wipo.int/about-ip/en/ its: Intellectual property is divided into two categories: Industrial property, which includes inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial designs, and geographic indications of source; and Copyright, which includes literary and artistic works such as novels, poems and plays, films, musical works, artistic works such as drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures, and architectural designs. Rights related to copyright include those of performing artists in their performances, producers of phonograms in their recordings, and those of broadcasters in their radio and television programs.

its important cause its like stealing from someone and taking all the credit for it.

Why Washington Worries...

Given our current standing in the world-the only superpower- Why are foreign relations so difficult? What has happened that makes it so tough? Should Pre. Obama continue to change foreign policy? Why or why not? use examples from article.


Foreign relations are so difficult because there is way to many gray areas for everything to work and fall throw as they where ment to be put together. no one really want to trust foreign country's with stuff after what has happened to America. American has had some very hard time and it makes it tough for really anyone to accept it.

I think the reason why its so hard for us is after September 11th. Foreign country's and people where the ones that did that and has scared America for life. That was 7 years ago and we are still haven't issues because of it. WE have more restrictions more things we cant do. We as Americans have to have passes and other things to be able to even cross our own dams now. Flying on plans there is more and more security and things you cant take and how big things can be. its just pathetic all cause a foreign country did something to NY.

He should but he shouldn't all at the same time its not right to have all these laws and policy's for them but then again American really does not need to have another tragic thing like 9/11 again. by reading to article I'm not sure what i can use of it to say as it kind of confused me but this is what i think about all this. Obama has some big shoes to fill right now and hes doing his best to try and please everyone and that's going to be next to impossible to do. he is doing a great job after following bush.

IMMIGRANTS!!

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/15/us/15immig.html





Based on the article and your own experience, What should be changed to help immigrant student assimilate? what could you change here to help an immigrant student assimilate? 4 paragraphs.

People sound really learn to not be so rude. I think there should be a rule at school about being racism and saying stuff bad about someone cause what they look like or where they are from. I walk around school all the time and here a bunch of people make fun of Mexicans or Indians anyone with different colored skin. I know how they feel as I am Indian and people making fun of them I think is really really rude cause there a lot of people out there that take there culture very serious and its very offensives to them. The reason a lot of people from other states, cultures, places, anything don't want to go to a public school is all about the kids and how rude they are and they are scared of what they are going to say about them or to them or for that matter what they would do to them.

If I could change the way people treated immigrants the first thing I would change is everyone is treated the same cause the teachers don't help half the times cause they don't realize it but they do treat people differently cause what they look like or how they talk its not there fault so why do we have to right to judge some one just cause what they look like? We all have feelings and they have to make a wall to block out what people say to them just cause there culture or what they look like.

I watched a motivational speaker not to long ago and he was talking about how he thinks everyone should be like superman how he’s like a man of steel and bullets bounce off of him we all have to think about our self's like that what ever people say to you just think your superman and "ding" it bounces right off. People are really mean and cruel to one another and sometimes you just kind of have to keep your head high and say hey thanks for noticing I'm glad you pay attention to me enough to notice and shake there hand and walk away. If you see some one being picked on or bullied stop it put your self in there shoes how would you feel if that was being done to you? that's a big question you have to think about before you say anything.

The world is getting bigger and they sayings and stuff is getting worse and worse. Do you want to make a difference? Start by treating other people with respect and letting them know where not alone cause you never know how things could be at home or behind the scenes on top of all the stuff "YOU" do to them as in everyone. Immigrants have just as much right to live in America as we do why do we have to treat them so bad?

Euthinasia in humans!

http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/exchange/node/1715
this web page is about if humans have the right to play god. "Euthanasia gives physicians, who are only humans-the right to murder. Doctors are people who we trust to save and cure us, we regard them as the people who have been trained to save our lives but euthanasia gives doctors the opportunity to play God and most seize this opportunity. "

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/77159/euthanasia_should_animals_and_humans.html?cat=47
a really really bold point that is in this artical is "Humans and animals should be treated equally in regards to euthanasia for a number of reasons, including the right of both animals and humans to die with dignity, the need for practical laws regarding euthanasia in both cases, and the economic consequences of treating humans and animals with terminal illnesses" humans and animals should be treated the same. THey both have a life and when its there time and they get that sick and are in need of it without dealing with the paint the whole time to get better why just let them pick if they want to die and not suffer and be in pain...

Movies!

I really dont go to the movies at all so I really dont remember what one was my favorite. The main one I really remember was twilight. The rest I cant remember waht I even saw in the movies compared to at my house. jumper was also a great movie i dont understand why that one wasent nominated. None of the movies that where nominated I have ever hurd about. So I really dont know what to even say. There was a bunch I wanted to go see but I never had time to go see them. "Marley and me" I read the book and I really wanted to go see the movie.

OBAMA!!

According to pres Obama's inaugutal address, this is "a New era of responsibility" as nothing is so defining of character as " difficult times." In your blog, Tell me what this refers to nationally, locally, and to you personally.





Nationally this is pretty much saying we are in for a very ruff ride. Economy is really really bad. Everywhere you look places are closing and being shut down completly the whole string of businesses. People are loosing there jobs like crazy. Schools are being told they might be getting layed off or being payed with iou's. Ya its not all our fault that the government is losing money fast but it is our fault that we spend so much money on a bunch of stuff we really dont need and peaple losing there jobs its not there fault they just cant be payed for anymore. Life is getting ruff and we just got to take it and move on with it and find way 2 make it better more than worse.



Locally, it is effecting us pretty bad. There is absolutly like now work and if thre is you get minimun wage and less amount of hours as possable. Schools are struggling to make sure they will be payed. Obama it sdoing his best to bwe able to get everything done the way it shoulod be but it will take a lot for him to do all the things he is promising.

sorry i didnt post it yesterday i had to leave early for keyclub and i do not have the internet at my house anymore.. sorry

SOME Thing I have learned in school...

Never procrastinate! I have learned that very well. I have had to stay up tell like 4 in the morning just to be able to finish a project and it really stinks cause then you have to wake your self up and still go to school at the same time in the morning. My sophomore year was the worst. It was the year I just didn't really care about anything so I just waited tell the last day to do anything. Then I realized my grades where slipping and I needed to get my act together and get my stuff done and make them a lot better than I was doing them. So up tell my sophomore year I procrastinated everything.

Never copy someone else's home work! For you you don't learn anything and for to the homework's really isn't hard when you actually pay attention. :) I would always be to lazy to want to do it by my self so I would do half and a friend would do the other half but it wasn't to fun when you go to take a test and you only know part of it. Ya its an easy way out of doing your home work but its not worth it in the long run. Once again after my sophomore year I haven't done that at all. Once you grow up and face the facts you realize how stupid what you where doing was. If it wasn't for my friends failing classes and my grades slipping I would have probable still be doing it so that's another thing I have learned.

Describe hamlets character.

Hamlet is right in the middle of all the drama and everything going on around him. Hamlet is melancholy, bitter, and cynical, full of hatred for his uncle’s scheming and disgust for his mother’s sexuality. Hamlet can be very causious about everything he does and always has to watch his back threw everything. hamlet hasent had a very good life so far after find out everything that has actually happend that no one ever told him about.
