Show and Tell

 I picked scooby doo as my show and tell because he is my favorite character. I grew up watching scooby doo. I have so many things of him like stuffed animals, a clock, stickers and many more. My room is pretty much filled with scooby doo things. Even though I'm a teenager I still like to watch his shows and buy more things of his. I also picked scooby doo because my grandparents would buy me his stuff as gifts and I still have those gifts. They also watched it with me when I would be at their house, which was like everyday. I guess scooby doo is so important to me because I have good memories from my grandparents.

 My grandparents are still here, but who knows how much longer they will be here. I love them very much and when they go to a better place up in heaven I'll always remember the memories we had with scooby doo. Maybe when I get older and have kids I'll give them my scooby doo stuff, so they can love him to. You never know scooby doo might be gone in a few years. Especially with all these new cartoons coming out. Scooby doo has been around for a really long time. I remember my dad saying that he used to watch scooby doo when he was younger. Well I love scooby doo and I always will no matter what. Scooby-Dooby Doooooo!!!!!

My Sophomore Year

     This year has been kind of crazy but I got through another year of high school. This year I learned different things in school and some things about my life. I been through a lot this year, I've lost a few friends but made new ones. It's crazy to think I only have two more years to go and then I'll be out in the real world. I have meet some great people this year including teachers. This school is pretty strict but I think it helps us stay on track.

   

     Being a sophomore was a great experience. It was kind of challenging for me, the work started to get harder, but I still made it through the year with the help of all my teachers. I understood most of the work but when I didn't my teacher would help me out. I'm pretty happy that I got put into this school because it's not like the other high schools. It's more like a college and I thought that was awesome because I want to go to college someday after high school. I think this school and the teachers really helps me prepare for that.

     This year I was still a really quiet person but honestly I don't think that is ever going to change. I've always been quiet and shy, but this year I think I talked more than last year. I've changed a lot since middle school. In middle school I was very shy, didn't really talk to a lot of people except my close friends. Now I'm a little more outgoing, and I started to get a big mouth this year with all the drama with other girls. What can I say though it's high school that's where all the drama happens in your life. It's hard to ignore it even though you really don't want to deal with it.

     At this beginning of this year I didn't really worry about my grades, I thought I would get good grades without really trying. So most of the time I didn't want to do my homework and I ended up failing two classes. Because of that I learned from my mistake and now I'm more responsible for my grades. I'm not going to do that again. I learned that you have to grow up in high school, you can't be goofing off all your life. I don't think I've grown up that much but I'm still a teenager and I have a long way to go with my life. This year I also learned that you can't trust anybody but yourself even if they were your best friend they could turn on you.

     During this year in my history class I found out a few things about my family and I. I learned that my grandpa was in one of the wars but I'm not sure which one it was, and one of my uncles was in the Vietnam war. I also learned that my grandma is half Irish, so that must mean that I might have a little tiny bit of Irish in me which is kind of cool.

     After I get out of this high school I plan to go to college to become a vet. I love animals and I would like to help them. Other than that I don't really know what else I want to do in my life, just have to see what happens. I know that I want to travel around the world and try exciting new things. Just have to finish high school first. Two more years to go I can't wait to experience both Junior and Senior year. It's going to be awesome, graduating year of 2012.

My anything essay

      I'm going to talk about my life in this essay, well part of it anyway. My life is always changing one day it's great and the next it could be bad. There is so much drama in my life and I hate it, and it all started when I started going out with my boyfriend. Since like the first day we started going out I have been dealing with certain girls trying to take him from me. But after awhile they all stopped doing what they were doing except this one certain girl. I'm not going to say her name, but she comes to this school. I know she has been friends with my boyfriend since middle school and she has been my friend even longer, but she is seriously causing BIG problems in my relationship.

     My boyfriend is a very special person to me and I know people say we are too young to know what love is, but I love him so much. I don't want to lose him, but I don't really know how long we will be together. It could for a few more months or even years, you never know what is going to happen in the future. But if that certain person doesn't stop what she is doing we might not be together for much longer. Everything she is doing is really hurting me bad and my boyfriend doesn't get it, he doesn't understand how I feel because he has never been through the things I have been through. He thinks that she isn't doing anything wrong, but she is ruining everything.

     Just writing all of this is making me want to cry, that's how bad it hurts me. I just wish he would understand how I feel and tell his friend to stop. Sometimes I wish I could go far away from everybody and be alone for awhile. I know running away from your problems doesn't work because they will still be there when you get back, but I would still like to be away for awhile just to think. My boyfriend tells me to ignore her and I should but it's just really hard to do that when we fight because of her and the things she does. I always ask myself why is this happening to me hoping to get a answer but I never do. I try to let things go because I don't like fighting with him and it's really hard to do that because I let things get to me. But like they say what goes around comes around. I don't like saying this but karma will come back to her some day.

     Even though this is happening to me my life could still be great. There are days when nothing goes wrong at all and those are the days I'm the happiest. Like yesterday for example it was a really good day. We didn't fight at all and he made me laugh and smile all day long. Maybe it was because she didn't come to school. I want every day to be like it was yesterday, I really don't think that will happen though and that makes me sad. It's crazy how one person could change everything in your life and either make it better or make it worse.

     After going through all this drama you learn not to trust anybody but yourself. Even your bestfriends could stab you in the back......thats what my bestfriend did to me. It hurts so much! I always think why did she do this to me and how, doesn't she feel guilty or anything for messing up my relationship. Doesn't she feel bad for doing this to one of her bestfriends. Apparently she doesn't because she keeps doing it and hurts me more and more each day.

   

Betrayed By Family and Friends

I have been betrayed by a family member and a friend. I thought I could trust them especially my cousin, but I guess I can't. It's not a good thing that can happen to you. Well my cousin was the first one that betrayed me, we were really close and were the same age so we always would hang out every day after school, we would go places together, and everything else you could think of. It was like we were sisters, that's how close we were. That’s kind of the same about my friend we were also close. I knew her since elementary school. We meet each other in 2nd grade. We didn’t hang out as much as I and my cousin but we were still pretty close friends.

I’m going to tell you what happened with my cousin, it includes my boyfriend. Well after I started going out with him my cousin became friends with him and they had one class with each other. A few months later he told me she wanted to do certain things with him and that’s when I started watching how she was around him. I noticed that when I would be with her after school she would talk about my boyfriend a lot and would tell me what happened in their class that day. When I would tell him what she would say he told me stuff that she didn’t tell me.

Honestly even though I trusted her I know that she lies about so much stuff I didn’t know if I should believe her or not. This went on for a long time and I started hearing stuff from other people that she would try to do things with him in their class. So I started asking him about it and he told me the same things that other people were saying, so I started to believe everything was true. I started getting mad and I didn’t know what to do about it. One day her older sister text-ed me and told me she said “I like Patricia’s boyfriend he’s cute.

Once I found that out I believed everything I heard she was doing. It all bugged me but when I was around her I acted like nothing was wrong even though I knew and her sister knew it bugged me a lot. One day my boyfriend came up to me after their class and he said that she told him come here and she kissed him. At that point I wanted to cry, I was hurt that she would do that to me. I didn’t want to believe it was true but he wasn’t the only one that told me. It really hurt me, I was so mad at her I just stopped talking to her without telling her why. I stayed away from her all the time, after school I would only hang out with her sister.

One day when I got home my cousin text-ed me and asked me why I wasn’t talking to her. So I told her everything I have heard and she denied all the things I told her, but you could tell she was lying because she always changed what she said it was never the same thing. After that we got into a fight and she finally told my auntie well her mom. When I was at her house her mom started telling me “my daughter wouldn’t do that” and she also said “she wouldn’t go and kiss your boyfriend”. The funny thing is I never told my cousin about that part, anyways the next day my cousin started talking to me like nothing ever happened which kind of pissed me off. I would barely talk to her, nothing was the same.

Well about a month later I decided to ask her again if she did that stuff and again she denied it. I wasn’t trying to fight with her I just wanted to know the truth. She told me “are you willing to get in a fight for your boyfriend” in those exact words and I told her if I have to. After she just started telling me a whole bunch of things and I wasn’t going to let her do that so we started fighting again. She saved all the messages where I said bad stuff in and she showed her mom and sent them to my dad. That’s when I got in trouble so I did the same thing to her and sent the messages to her mom. It was a big mess and before she showed her mom the messages me and my cousin were going to get into a actual fight with each other.

When all of that happened we stopped talking for a really long time. But one day she just started talking to me,I didn't want to talk to her at all so I just barely talked. Now we talk but not as much as we used to and nothing is the same to me. It seems like she acts the same, she acts like nothing ever happened between us. Even though I finally got her to admit she did that stuff in 9th grade. Well that's the story about my cousin I'll never trust her again.

Now the story with my friend it's not as bad as what my cousin did but it's still bad and it also involves my boyfriend. Well all three of us were friends and i found out that she liked my boyfriend a lot. So I just thought it was a little crush, but my boyfriend found out it was more then that she liked him for a long time. This also happened last year in 9th grade and it's still kind of happening now. She knew that I was like in love with my boyfriend and she would always flirt with him all the time and all the nicknames I called him, she started using them and saying that she gave him those names. But she didn't, I gave him those nicknames before we started going out. A few times when me and him would break up she told him that she didn't want us to get back together so she could be with him, but we always got back together after about a hour. It was never a real break up.

One day we started fighting but it never got that far, and we didn't really talk a lot to each other after that. Things changed between us completely. I really thought I could trust her, but now I know you should only trust yourself. She causes so many problems with me and my boyfriend. One time we broke up because of her. I honestly think that she really tries to break us up, I don't know that's just my opinion. I really wish she would stop what she does and just move on with her own life and leave my boyfriend alone. It's really messing up our relationship and she had the chance to be with him for a long time. She knew him way before I did, she had the chance and she didn't take it. Now she is ruining it for me, well she's trying to. Well that's both of my stories. I learned to trust nobody but yourself.

My family history and traditions

Well I don't really know that much about my family history and neither do my parents, but a tradition from my dads side of the family is going to Elephant butte lake. I don't know if that's really a tradition, but my grandpa been taking my dad and my aunties there ever since they were little and my dad been taking me since I was a little baby. I have no idea how long my family has been going there before my grandpa. Over the years the lake has changed a lot well that's what my dad was telling me.

He would tell me that the water went down a lot since he was a little kid. That lake is really dry and hot so you have to always wear sunblock, but I still love it there. I always look forward to going there every summer. When I'm older and I have my own family I'm going to start taking them over there to and maybe the tradition will go on for many years after. Hopefully Elephant butte lake doesn't dry out because they are always taking out water.

The Starfish Story

   The moral of this story is by doing one thing you can make a big difference. In this story the young man is throwing starfish back into the ocean one after another, but the wise man says it wont make a difference because there are to many starfish and miles of beach. I think the young man might be wiser then the wise man because just throwing back as many starfish as you can makes a big difference. Another lucky starfish gets to survive another day.
