Top 6 Colleges.

Cornell University-

I selected this school because I believe that it is my dream school. The reason being because my sister had the honor of attending that school with a scholarship. When I went there for my sisters graduation and had a tour on how the school was I fell in love with it and the surroundings. It was a beautiful place to attend and even though it might be a large school everybody seems to get along pretty well and act like a family.

Social Media Revolution

Our society today has become more attached to technology in which we use in in everyday life. We use it for entertainment, job, information, and even school work. We have used them all for several years but this generation of people has been used to using them. The people of this generation invented the use of making media, as in myspace, facebook, twitter, tumblr, and other little social networks to stay in touch with family and friends.  15 years ago, people who just recently received the computer did not now how to use it. They thought it would be a big deal in society, they thought wrong. Today, in 2010 people over use the computer. It have been for everyone and anyone who has a computer. People would rather read a book online then buying a book in a store.

Stuck in the labyrinth.

It was late at night and i could not for some reason fall asleep and it really was annoying me. I was just laying there staring at my wall waiting for something to happen. Ten mintues later, still nothing. It went on for i dont know how long, until i just started thinking about something different. I turned my body over to the other side and closed my eyes. Once i closed my eyes, i pictured this whole painting of a theme being just like Alice in Wonderland.

The only problem was that i was Alice and at first it didnt seem like a wonderful place to be. It was a bit spooky and i felt like i was the only person there, i walked through different doors just so i could find my way out. I was searching high and low but still nothing was letting me out. As soon as i gave up, i noticed a door that looked different from the others. I went towards it and opened it.

Once i opened it i saw a whole new world, just right there infront of me. It seemed like i was in a normal place but i wasnt not sure. Trying to find my way around, i started walking around and searching for at least someone who could maybe help me. I found this little girl sitting there on a stool playing with her dolls. She looked up at me and smiled while saying “Hi there Sara, welcome to the place of  magic!” I looked at her when she said magic because i had no idea what she meant about it. “Magic? What do you mean magic? How is this a place of magic?” She smiled and replyed “Well, your just going to have to find out.” She got up very quickly and ran towards some trees until you couldnt see her. I was still standing there looking around confused and not knowing about what she meant. I thought it would have just been best if i kept walking and really find out what this place really was.

I walked straight for a while until a came up to a huge wall. It was a labyrinth with only one way in and no way out. There was just one door and it seemed like there was no way in. I walked towards and i pulled on it and it opened. I felt at that moment i was getting ready for something i would have never see in my life. I walked into the labyrinth and all i could see was two straight lines probably going nowhere.

I looked left and i looked right and i thought i should take the right and i instead took the left. I walked and walked, in which it felt like i’ve been walking for about three hours. Soon enough it surely turned into a labyrinth because i was making all different kinds of turns and taking different ways which seemed the same. I felt lost but i never gave up, i felt like there was something at the end.

I wanted to find out what was there and i just kept going through so much to find what i want to see at the end. I continued to walk for another two to three hours with many, many different turns and ways to go. I took a five minute break but i really left like i need an hours break but i got up and walked. I finally made it to the end of the labyrinth and the moment before me looking at what i saw, my alarm went off and woke me up to get ready for school.

“To be right is not always popular…To be popular is not always right.”

“To be right is not always popular…To be popular is not always right.” My reaction of this phase is that sometimes doing the right thing is not what other people do but being in the “in” crowd is not always that good because it could be  that your just included in the group because you might have the latest gossip. A lot of people in a certain group might dislike doing things a different way if they only like their way, they could really careless about right from wrong which ever way they do it is always right to them.

Father in Japan: ‘I didn’t do anything wrong’

This article is about a father named Christopher Savoie who never seems to have a right to see his children. He has a six year old daughter named Rebecca and a young son named Issac who is only eight years of age. “I want Americans to know what’s happening to me,” Christopher told his story “I didn’t do anything wrong. Children have the right to see both parents. It’s very important for my children to know both parents.” Japan does not agree with Christopher statement. As days pass and the trial goes on Japan says that the mother is the victim and that is the reason why the children are with their real mother. Christopher said this as his last time to see his kids for now, “love you, Isaac, Rebecca,” he said. “Your daddy loves you forever. I’ll be patient and strong until the day comes that I can see you both again. I am very sorry that I can’t be with you.” He would soon hopefully be back with his kids and  no one not even Japan could take them away.

Why I chose to come to Saint Mary’s High School

Last year i didn’t have a choice on what school to attend because i had already attended the elementary school and my younger brother was still in that school. He just had one more year until he could move up and then he would be a freshmen in high school. I thought that i would only be going to Saint Mary’s High School for a year and then i would be leaving and finally going to a school i would enjoy.  When the day came to register for Saint Mary’s High School, my mind was still made up and i didn’t change. I felt like I’ve been there all my life  and i would just be stuck there. When it came to be my first day of being a freshmen of this high school i met some really great people and luckily already knew many others. I felt comfortable around my new and old friends. I felt welcome with my new group of friends i started to have a different feeling of this school. After meeting some great people in my freshmen year i felt different about everything and it really opened my eyes on different things towards the school. Now i feel like i am at home.
