  2. If I know that cheating is bad, and that it gets you into getting a cero and itno trouble, I would tell my friend not to do it because I learned the hard way what would happen.

  5. What i think is that, we should do many things, we should conserve watre at school, because water isn;t allways there for you to come, it might one day dissapear if we don't take it seriously, then there is trash, we know that middle school have problem with trash, when you have paper to throw away, they throw it in the trash can, when theere is something called a recycling box, that is what we should have, we should have less trash cans, and more recycling bins, we will improve our school, and spring branch should also have this contest to see what school did the most recycling, and the winner will get a grand prize! this prize not only indicates what you did, it indicates the percentage of help you put in mother earth.

  6. Hello again jennifer Blaine, i think we should have an AOK, meaning, Art of the knowing, this is where, every student will submit a drwing, and they do not have to be a intelligent artist, something that inspires you and we take those art, and maybe teachers can have it for a grade, and then we take to sell at hospitals, and day cares, and things like that, not only we make money, but we makes smiles around the world!

  7. I've actually seen the movie "Pay It Foward" with Haley Joel Osmet...loved it. :D>>but here is something I would like to share and I hope it serves as a lesson for anyone who might read it...even though I really don't understand everything that "coulda" happened on this day.
    It all started back in 2nd grade. Me (Ally) and my best friend, Zack. We grew up together and for as long as we could remember, were all each other had. My parents were (and still are) total control freaks, so we thought it best not to tell them about our friendship for fear it might be lost. So years go by, and suddenly our friendship takes a turn that I could have least expected. People could say it was just some "kid thing" or "puppy love" or whatever else, but it was something so much more that. It scared me so bad the day I felt "that feeling". Yes, I had fallen in love with my best friend. It was 5th grade, then, and I was planning on telling him, but I kept saying to myself "I'll tell him tomorrow." I don't know what was holding me back..I mean, I had seen something in his eyes, too. I guess it was just fear of losing him. Well, I lost him anyways. November 3, 2006>>I knew it was the day. I was so confident in telling him. I got up, got dressed for school, only to findout from my still overcontrolling parents that I was going to be moving schools that day. I never got to say goodbye. I remember going to school that morning with my mom to sign the withdrawl papers. I was running through the halls, screaming, hoping he'd be there. I know, it makes me sound like I crazy person, but truthfully, it felt like I was coming apart. I'd never cried before that day...and I haven't stopped since. As we drove away from the school..ready to start a new life...I saw Zack walk up to the doors. He saw me in the car, driving off. I've never seen him since. Sure, in 7th grade, I called him and told him the truth, how I felt. Turns out, he felt the same way. We might have loved each other but that didnt attomatically mean that we'd be girlfriend/boyfriend or whatever. We were still and always be best friends. It hurts me to have to know what I left behind..something that I know I will never be able to have again. I wish so much that I could see him ONE MORE TIME. That could change EVERYTHING for me. Just be able to look him in his eyes, and say "Thanks for being there for me." You don't know what it's like to have to live your life every day, knowing that you hurt someone...knowing that you left someone behind..crying too. So to "pay it foward"??....anyone who reads this...I just think that if they have something to say to someone SAY IT>>>because it could mean the whole difference in a person's life.
    and dr. blaine...you can comment on this too. :D

  13. hmmmmmmm..... how about using less paper. The district should require students to buy a dry erase board and 2 markers. that way when they say : take out a peice of scratch paper, you can just pull out your dry erase board. That way we could help the enviorment save trees and oxygen.......
