Gratitude at its Fullest

Thanksgiving is a time where little kids walk around with a list of things that they are thankful for. Also having mom or dad being the top things on that last, I've been there, but this year I'm old enough to actually say what I'm thankful for. I'm very thankful for my mom, and I can say that this year with reasonings that I couldn't give before. When I was younger she was always was at the top of my list, but that was because she was my everything, my whole world, I'm older now have have been exposed to the outside world a little bit, but she's still at the top of that list. She takes me to church to try to strengthen my faith, because she cares about me. She always tries to lead me in the right direction, set me on the right path of life. She's been there for me throughout all of these tough times this year, moving and going to a new school, and also as she calls it, "Being a teenager". She's cared for me and watches out for me, she doesn't " Put up with me", like other woman might do with their kids. I love her for all that she's done for me. I know she'll always be there for me, I just hope that she knows that I'll always do the same.

Six flags: My Best Day Ever

     When I went to six flags it was the best day ever. It wasnt the best day of my life, such as my siblings being born or something big like that, but it was a great day of childhood. The kind that you'll always remember and could be a conversation starter. I was eleven when I went to Six flags for the first time I can remember. I had gone once before when I was younger, but I don't remember. My mom said that I got lost on that trip so I guess that its good that I don't remember.It was my eleventh birthday when my mom de died that I was old enough to go. It was Me, my mom, our neighbor, and our neighbor's nephew. Our neighbor Raul had been my moms firmd since childhood and his nephew Elijah, who was my age, but a little older so we got along. Mom and Raul are chickens so they didn't get on many rides, but me and Elijah went on so many, without taking breaks. It was a good time because the rides were fun and the lines were long, but I had good company while waiting. After all of that we ended the day with a funnel cake. I shared one with my mom and Raul and Elijah shared. Even after all the tiring walking, we stood up to watch a scary movie.

Women Claiming to Be Parents to Get Easy Money

     Isn't school a place where you can depend on your children being safe at all times? A place where security is ensured and where people, who can be a harm to your children, be kept out. Mrs. Pointer, a seventh grade Social Studies teacher at John F. Eberhart elementary school, ran to the office to report that's her diabetic sugar testing machine and her purse had been stolen from her classroom, while she dismissed her class from school. When she opened the door to the office she was surprised to see that another teacher was also in the office stating that her personal belongings were missing. The other teacher was Mrs. Hudson-Oden, a seventh grade math teacher. They both were missing different things, but they had the same question in mind. Who's the thief? Could it be a student, how about a fellow teacher?
     Well after a week of investigation it was confirmed that it was neither a teacher or student who committed the crimes, it was two adult women who came into the school claiming that they were there to pickup their children. After the two were out of the sight of the security, they went up the back steps all the way to they second highest floor. They raided the first three classroom seen when coming from the steps. In the first classroom a purse with a phone, a wallet, and a checkbook was stolen. Not only did they steal from that room, they completely trashed it. Papers everywhere and everything out of its place. In the second room everything was also chaotic, in the end it was confirmed that a purse and sugar testing machine for diabetics was taken. In the third room there was only mess because it was beginning to be raided when a teacher was heard coming from the stairs. Then the two went down the main stair case, on the opposite side of the hallway. They left exited using the door right next to the steps, leaving the building, without anyone knowing.
     What would have happened if a student had returned to a class room or happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time? A student said, after the incident,"It's quite scary to think about it now. I was going to go back to the classroom because I left an assignment, I asked to go back then I just thought to leave it until the next day." This was a student in Mrs. Hudson-Odens class, the first class to be raided. Luckily for that student she didn't go back, there was no reports on if the women had weapons. So a school is a place of safety, but you can never be too careful.
