I am musical and athletic.
I wonder what I will end up doing when I get older.
I hear the music moving through out the house.
I see myself walking down the runway of a fashion show.
I want to make something of myself and follow my dream.
I am musical and athletic.
I pretend I'm flying through the sky when I swing.
I feel ecstatic when I think about having a pet penguin.
I touch the pearly gates to Heaven's doors one day.
I worry that this school year will be the worst.
I cry when I fight with my friends and family.
I am musical and athletic.
I understand that life is hard and it's and obstacle we all take.
I say "Oh, Phooy" when I mess something up.
I dream about becoming a model.
I try giving my all in everything I do to make my parents proud.
I hope my all is the good enough.
I am musical and athletic.

Dracula By: Bram Stoker
Reading this book had me on my toes the whole time. I know that's a really cheesy saying, but it's the truth. It was like everytime I was expecting something to happen. Something completely different happened. I honestly have never heard of this book untill it was on the list of books to read. Now, I love to read things that have to deal with the unusual it makes me think of 'how do people come up with this?'
The beginning of this book was a definate drag. It took me awhile to get through it but, when Jonathan, a young, successful, lawyer, comes into town new all the towns people start talking about him, of course. When all those people find out that his destination was to Count Draculas' Castle in Transylvania. He maybe in the beggining and you think hes the main character but, you can't forget about his wife, Mina, which is visting with her friend Lucy, who is engaged. Who later gets turned into a vampire becuase of the Count who exscaped from Jonathan wehne he tried to kill him. With Lucy the way she is now. They had to get help to bring an end to the Count and Lucy. so, they got two of Lucy's ex's and had them help. With six people they destroyed the boxes the Count had shipped to the land when he had exscaped the castle. Pretty clever I think. Sending away six boxes with different types of land in it to survive. But, with all but one box destroyed, the one with the Count in it, went and destroyed him. Some of the launguage in this book i thought was very volgar and descriptive. The whole time it was if i was in the eighteenth century with them experienceing the horse and buggies with the fear of evil all around me.

Think before you do...
Song: "Losing it" By: NeverShoutNever
Link to the lyrics and song: http://www.lyricsreg.com/lyrics/nevershoutnever/Losing+it/
Being loved is something everyone desires and even kills for. Have you ever thought that maybe being loved is as simple as having your family there for you no matter what and your friends being there to support you after a break-up, parents divorce, someone spreading rumors around school about you or even something as devastating as giving everything you have to that special someone. The one that you thought loved you until you gave them what they wanted. Then just left you and said nothing more to you. Makes you think doesn't it? You always hear from your parents to ' be careful' and 'don't get caught up in it. You don't know what love is' when the truth is... Does anyone ever really know what love truly is? Christopher Drew made a huge point in this song by saying "I knew I was only sixteen but I thought I loved her. And it'd last forever. But only if I knew that she wasn't true. How could she do this to me?"
The word 'love' is so over used that no one ever thinks of this. The lyrics in the song that really stand out and that every teenage boy and girl should take into consideration is "You've got your whole life to do these things" Peer pressure is something that happens all the way through life and something that we all have to put up with. So, next time you tell someone you love them... Think about it.

Why be denied because of whom we are? (Girl or Guy)
Link to article: http://www.teachingexpertise.com/articles/who-says-girls-cant-play-on-the-same-team-as-boys-1345
From an early age we've been told "Oh no! boys have cooties. Don't touch" or most importantly "Girls have cooties! Run away!" We're all guilty to of said this at one point in time in life. Not to mention all girls have been told "You're a girl. You can't play with us" Well, why can't we?
There is always somethings a girl can do that a guy can't. And, of course vise verse but, now one of the biggest sports that determine this set of mind is football. The good ole' American sport that has been played since only god knows when. Girls do and have played football from the little league but when it comes to junior high through college even pro. Girls are just meant to be a cheerleader or on the dance team and even in the crowd cheering our boys on. But, what about the guys that could be in the crowd or on the cheer squad cheering on their girl? Now, there are many guy cheerleaders, dancers and ballet performers. But, aren't those supposed to be girls and young woman doing this. Yet, we do not deny that they are forbid from doing these activities. I do agree. We have came a LONG ways from the1800's to 1930's where women had barely no rights at all. Hopefully, one day woman can play this game with pride one day. Just one more thing to add on to the list of things that we can do.
