snow dayyyy!!!!

so today we have a snow day

right now it's snowing kind of hard outside

so for the whole day i have to stay home♥

slangggg

slang is just informal words being used.

in class today we read a story called the lesson.

it used a lot of slang that african americans used to use.

slang is used in every time period but each has its own slang words.

some of the ones used in the story were hard to understand.

a lot of the slang that our generation uses just entails taking away letters from a word.

many words that are slang now for racial words were perfectly fine to say in the past.

if people use slang to much now they will get into bad habits which will effect them later in life when they are trying to get a job and they are in an interview.♥

2BR02B

i think in "2br02b" the idea of people dying for babies to be born is a good idea. 

though, i think that the idea if know one volunteers the babies have to die.

there are almost always people who want to die but if know one wants to die right then, then the babies would have to die.

this isn't right because the babies were just born.

they were probably alive for less than an hour.

they have no say in whether to be alive or to not be alive, their just killed.

it is almost the same thing as killing an innocent person.

i can't think of a better way to keep the population low, but i think that if people tried hard enough they could think of a much better way.

to keep the population low you don't need to kill innocent people.♥

funnnnn!!!!!!!

ok so today was super fun

i went to see the home for the holidays parade thing in westwood except we more watched it from inside starbucks

it was me sarah and shellie

i got a cappuccino and put 5 packets of sugar(not even kidding) in it which is not the best idea because it will keep you awake for hours

then shellie's parents picked us up and dropped us at sarah's house

we were in sarah's room and we made video's of us being stupid and we annoyed her brothers friends who were outside by playing music obnoxiously loud

then it started to snow it was so cold though so we went back inside

one of her brothers friends wanted to come in and we were about to go out and the door was locked so shellie opened it and then her sarah's dad told us we had to go back to sarah's room

so then we mad more videos and took more pictures

tomorrow i'm going to see a play on broadway with my mom so yeah♥

keep a child alive

on the tyra show today, december 5th tyra had a 13 year old girl from a middle class home who thought that she was so unfortunate because she had to do "a lot" of work.

things such as cleaning her room, doing her homework and other chores.

they brought the girl to the studio thinking that she was going to have a photo shoot when really she was trading lives with a child from a less fortunate place than her. 

she had to go through a lot of things which were normal for kids like noah such as walking 3 miles to get water that was dirty and contaminated but the only water available, working for cold simple food such as rice, and begging for money and in 3 hours only collecting $2.

the entire thing was planned out by tyra and alicia keys but she didn't know and just thought that it was torture and was not right until she met noah and heard his story.

noah is an hiv positive kid who dreams of becoming a musician so he can support his family

alicia keys, the founder of an organization called keep a child alive, and went to the town where he lives in africa and brought him back to the united states.

she brought him back and he recorded his music and performed at a fundraiser for alicia keys organization called the black ball

today he was on the tyra show and tyra banks gave him $5,000 in his country's money which does not seem like that much money but it is enough money to last his mother, grandmother, and his siblings a year, pay the families debt, start a business for his grandmother so she doesn't not need to travel as much.

noah was also given clothing that was very much need, an ipod with his music alicia keys, and a chance to perform on the tyra banks show

the organization is a non profit organization

the organizations website is http://www.keepachildalive.org/ where you can learn more about what the organization actually does.

you can also donate money by just sending a text message that says alive to 90999♥

Jonas Brothers get a Grammy Nominee

on wednesday, december 4, the jonas brothers were nominated with their first grammy ever.

the were nominated for best new artist.

none of them accepted it at all.

joe told shaun robinson, "wow! [we] really didn't expect it at all.

“We really like football. So, possibly a nice flag football game with some of our friends,” said Nick when he was asked how they were going to celebrate.

joe had a different idea of how to celebrate, he told shaun robinson, “maybe some pinkberry, it’s like having ice-cream, but afterwards you don’t feel like, ‘Oh, I just had a bunch of ice cream.’ You feel like, ‘All right, I feel good.’”

the jonas brothers are up for the award along with, leona lewis, coldplay, lady gaga, and carrie underwood. 

jonas brothers say now on being nominated for a grammy

Rhee Tackles Classroom Challenge

I was sort of shocked when I read this article, but at the same time I wasn't. I knew that some schools were not as lucky as our school but I did not know it was this bad. The test scores were extraordinarily low. 21 schools had to be shut down is Washington D.C. The students in these schools were not getting enough education. They were lacking the proper reading level, and more than the quarters of them did not graduate. I think what Michelle Rhee is doing a great thing. Students deserve an education no matter what their living situation is. If these kids do not get a proper education most likely will not either. More people should be like Michelle Rhee and if the area that they live in does not get enough education should try to improve.♥
