Sexual Harassment

     In the book "Twisted" the main character talks about a "clothing optional" day at school. Girls at his school, wear clothing that shows too much skin. Some girls get mad when boy stare at them or don't stare at them. Well I would stare but not because I would want to but because I believe they need more clothes on their bodies. In the picture to the left this girl is dressed for "clothing optional" day. Girls, who want to dress scantily, might dress like this. As you can see this girl is showing more leg. This girl will get more attention than the girl with clothes below her.

                              

     
This is how I would dress if I had to an optional day. This is because I like to wear clothes. This is one way that I express myself. Also, it’s another way I respect myself. If I don’t respect myself then who will? Boys cannot stay focus in classes if they have something better to look at besides the board. They will never learn with girls’ private parts hanging out all the time.
Sexual harassment cannot go both ways. This is because when you dress scantily, People will look at you, which means you wanted them to look at you. You can’t get mad because people only dress like that for two reasons. One reason is because; you want attention or two because you want to feel pretty. There is always at least one person that will like you for what you are wearing. This can lead to staring. But the person who wants to look pretty might not want people to stare but it’s going to happen. But what do you think about sexual harassment?

Josh Gunderson "hooked on facebook"

    
When Josh Gunderson came to the Carbondale High School he talked to us about the pros and cons of Social Networking. Josh was overall a great speaker. He taught the class of 2015 a lot about Facebook and other social networks. What I learned from him about Facebook is how your pictures and statuses can affect you. Also how changing your privacy on your social sites can be a big help to your life. Then he talked about how bullying can lead to suicide. Josh Gunderson's Speaking to My class and I about this has really changed the way I see social networking now.

Your pictures and statuses can affect you. This can affect you like josh said because if you put that you are home alone and your parents are gone a stranger that was watching Facebook page can break into your house or something. Also, Josh said "luckily the girl had set the alarm." If that girl didn't set it she probably could have been raped or worse, killed. Be careful what you say because also if you say " I am about to go to the park," a person that is watching your social site can follow you to the park and attack you. Josh told us about how a little girl at the age of nine, put this status on Facebook and a man kidnapped her. This was not good.
We can tie Josh's message with the book we are reading which is call "twisted." This is because in the book twist the boy named Tyler wants to kill himself because popular kids picked on him. Like Josh talked about, bullies are mean. He told us to stop the bullying because this is what can happen to people. Also the link I choose to link is a song called “Make It Stop" by Septembers Children. This song talks about how bullies pick on the "weird" kids so much that they want to kill themselves. Also it just tells the bullies to basically stop the bullying of lesbians, gays, nerds, smelly, and just the "weird" kids. Bullying is wrong. But what do you think about bullying?

Religious Beliefs

     When I was little, my mom took me to church with her every Sunday morning. Every Sunday, from what I can remember, I fell asleep in church. I would always wake up with a blanket on me. As I grow older, my mom told me I had to read speeches for Easter and perform in Christmas plays. When I finally turned the age of six years old, I had to stay awake for church service. Church service was from 11 o’clock to 1 o’clock. These church hours felt like a long time to a girl at the age of six. Also, I didn’t understand what the pastor was talking about. The church I went to was named Rock Hill Missionary Baptist Church.

     My beliefs when I was kid, shapes my current religious beliefs because of what my mom did in the past. My beliefs now are much stronger in God. His name is Jesus. His father name is God Almighty. He has other name to but two of my favorites are Alpha and Omega. Alpha means the beginning and Omega means the end. Also I do believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and every one else’s. He is my father and created the world. God also created the Holy Bible. The church I go to now is named New Birth Kingdom International Christian Church. This church I feel is a church that I can understand. My pastor and his wife bring things to an understanding for child for children and teens. The most people that come to my church are college students. This is because they understand the pastors. I truly love my church.

Family

    

     When I was little, my family celebrated my birthday together. When I was little, we had a family dog. When I was little, my family celebrated Christmas together. For Christmas every year I would get a hat, glove, scarf set. When I grow up I want my kids to receive a set as well as other gifts under the Christmas tree for Santa. When I grow up I want my family to celebrate the holidays with me. When I grow up I want to try to carry out my family traditions.

     My family really does impact my hopes and dreams. My mom impacts my hopes and dreams by helping me to strive in everything I do. My granny influences my hopes and dreams by showing me what I can achieve if I put my mind to it. My daddy affects my hopes and dreams by telling I don’t need a boyfriend until I’m 35 years old. My daddy says this because he thinks boyfriends often lead to sex and babies and he doesn’t want grandchildren yet. Plus, he is a boy and he knows how they think. My aunt sunshine impacts my life by the way she looks. My aunt is skinny and is muscular but not too much. Also, she is a fitness trainer. She is 43₊ in age. That is the way I want to look when I get her age to. This is some of the reason why I love my family.

My Childhood Temper

    
When I was a kid I had a temper. The way my temper tantrums went was I would get mad and hold my breath. When I held my breath I would pass out. My mom wouldn't know what to do. She would take me to the hospital to see what was really going on with me. The doctor told her I was really just having a temper tantrum. The next time I had a tantrum, my mom would spank me so I would start breathing again.
     When I grew up my mom finally told me why she spanked me. Some spankings I got were because of other tantrums I would have. Some problems I had been not getting my way. When I didn't get my way I would cry and fall out. What I mean by that is, I would fall to the floor and cry, cry, cry. But mommy didn't let that happen. My mom said "I'll give you something to cry about." But as a kid I knew when I was supposed to be quiet but she always taught me the right things for the wrong things to do. And I will always love her for it. Thanks MOM.

School Attitude

  
  
   My attitude towards school is positive. What I mean by that is I like school. In school I like to get good grades. The good grades I want are straight A's. If I get a B then I need to bring it up immediately. Getting a C is like getting an F to me. But getting an F is very horrible. Nobody should ever get an F. If an F is the very best you can do then is the best. The very best I can get is an A. I am an A+ student.
     I do think that success in your studies affects your future predictor of success later on in life. If you get bad grades such as D's on every quiz and test or homework papers then you might not do so well in college unless you change the way you really feel about school. The way I feel about writing papers will most-likely change, because every college student as to read and write. The way I feel about math will never change. This is because I like math because I like to work with numbers instead of words. Even though words are in math too sometimes there is not as much of them as in stories or papers we have to write for school. Also the way I feel about the other subjects such as History, Science, and Foreign Language is probably going to say the same I will never want to do it but I am going to have too.
