Story

     I do not like conflict. The only time I will fight or argue back is when I feel strongly about something. When a small problem comes up, such as someone was talking in class while you were trying to listen, or my sister took my pencil, I usually ignore it and move on. Whats the point of fighting it? It will cause more problems when you could be doing something better?
    I relate to the story because it showed I agree that unnecessary conflict just wastes time when you could be doing something else. I don't understand how people can constantly argue and bicker about everything. It makes them and everyone around them angry and negative.

My Weekend

    My weekend was very busy but very fun. It started with me staying the night with my cousin. We watched movies and had a lot of good food. The next morning we had donuts. Around 12 I had to leave to go to work.
    I work at the Albion Public Library. Every once in a while I have to work at a programs I have to work. Saturday we had a princess party. Me and the three other pages had to dress up as princesses. I was Cinderella. I had to dress up in an itchy costume and have my hair in a tight bun. There were little girls everywhere with looks of amazement at seeing 'real' princesses.
   After the program I went home and waited for my boyfriend to pick me up for the West Noble play 'Anything Goes'. A lot of my friends Central Noble theatre came to see it. The night was filled with laughter, singing and good music.

School Uniforms: Yes or No?

     Some people believe that uniforms are good because they are less of a distraction, because they don't create cliches. But that isn't true. Human create groups all the time. People gravitate towards people like them, who have the same hobbies, interests, music and movie taste. Uniforms, I think, just make that slightly harder to do, but it still happens.

  Schools should not have uniforms because normal clothing has the ability to express who you are and be comfortable. Your clothes can bring you to people that understand you and you have the same interests. It makes you comfortable. Uniforms could make some people uncomfortable because the uniforms aren't they clothes they normally wear. Why make a student uncomfortable? It will essentially make the student do worse in school.

"Carpe Diem"

   "Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary." 
That is the biggest quote in my favorite movie Dead Poets Society. It is a 1989 movie with the late Robin Williams, Robert Sean Leonard, and Ethan Hawke in it. Its a movie about an all boys boarding school. The school gets a new, young English teacher, Mr.Keating. Mr. Keating isn't like most of the teachers there. He shows how passionate he is about English, especially poetry, so he tries to get his students to love it as well. He also teaches them to "Seize the day".

   Carpe Diem is the Latin saying for "Seize the day". Sometimes people just drift through life, but to seize the day means to grab on to it and live. Do your best and find who you are.

A Bus and Train Collide Leaving Ten Dead.

     In west Texas there was a prison bus transporting 20 people-12 inmates, 2 correctional officers and 1 staff member- to a prison in El Paso. As the bus was going down Interstate 20 they collided with a train full of UPS packages. The article doesn't tell details about what exactly happened but you can see the link below. 

     The pictures show the prison bus on its side and the train full of UPS packages scattered everywhere. 8 prisoners and the 2 correctional officers were killed in the accident. The other 5 people were in serious condition. The UPS company told CNN that they would try and get the packages shipped to the right places as soon as possible.
