Assignment 28- Anything

The Jonas Brothers are going on their first world wide concert tour. This is a huge step for them as artists. Just two years ago, these boys were trying to make it in the music business. Now, they are one of the most famous bands of our time. They have countless hit songs, sold millions of copies of their last two albums and made an impact in the television industry. I chose this because it shows that anyone can do anything when they put their mind to it. The Jonas Brothers love their music. They work hard to give their fans what they want by doing what they love. For them to be going on a world tour shows just how popular and big they have become.

Assignment 35- Senior Final Exam

Last Memory of a Senior

My last memory of high school is the fun I've had this past week. Since it is my last week at Piper, I am trying to make the best of it. I am going to remember this week for the rest of my life. My friends and I are having a great time living it up at school. This week, my best friends and I went around the school getting all of our old friends to sign our yearbook. I love reading what everyone wrote and reminiscing on the last four years. I am going to miss Piper so much. That is why I am trying to have fun. I want to leave school remembering all the good times I had at my home away from home. I am taking a million pictures with all of my friends and teachers. I don't want to forget any of the amazing people I met at this school. I am also reliving the best memories I had at Piper. I love living the past over again. We walked around school visiting old teachers and sitting in their classrooms like we were their students again. We played hide-and-seek after school like we used to do in our sophomore year. It was so much fun to pull all those crazy missions and be carefree with my friends this week. This week has been one to remember. I've had the best times with my friends. Because of them, I will always remember Piper as my home away from home.

Assignment 30- Interesting News

Sis Finds Long Lost Brother Across Street

After three decades, a brother is reunited with his long lost sister. The crazy part is that they lived across the street from each other for two and a half years before realizing that they were related. Candace Eloph was talking to one of her neighbors, Jamie Wheat, one afternoon. She told him that her mother had given up her baby son for adoption in 1977 when she was sixteen years old. Wheat told her that he was born on January 21, 1977 and that he was adopted because his sixteen year old mother had given him up. After this coincidence, the two took a blood test. The results showed that there was a 99.995% chance the they were related. The two, including there families, were ecstatic. After a thirty year search, the long lost siblings finally found each other, across the street nonetheless. I think this is interesting because of how the two found each other. It is sometimes common to find a long lost sibling. Rarely ever do you hear that they were neighbors. It is interesting how things work out.

Assignment 33- First Day of Freshman Year

<----Me and my two best friends since 9th grade

My first day of freshman year was terrifying. I was so scared of coming to a new school. I am the type of person that doesn't like change. So the transition from middle school to high school was very difficult for me. The first day of 9th grade, I was late to my first class. I walked in alone and my teacher told the whole class to stare at me because I came 20 minutes after class had begun. I was so embarrassed. I had to sit in the back by myself because all the other seats were taken. The rest of my classes were just as scary. I was too shy to make any friends that first day. I ate lunch with an old friend from middle school, but we didn't have a class together so I had to endure the rest of the day alone. For my first day, I definitely would change the fact that I came late to school and had my whole class staring at me. I also should have been more out there so I could make friends faster. Things definitely did not turn out the way I had imagined it at that time. I thought I would have been alone throughout my high school years because I was so anti-social. Now, I have the greatest friends in the world. I do not regret anything from that first day of my high school years up until now. Everything I went through made me love my high school years more than anything. I have the best memories from Piper and I would not change that for anything else.

I think a trip to Europe would be amazing.

Assignment 31- First Day of School...Ever!

My first day of school is still fresh in memory. I lived in New York at the time and I was going to PS 100 for kindergarten. My mom took me to school and we looked for my name on the wall to tell me which teacher I had. Then, we had to go to the basketball court where everyone had to line up with their classmates. That is when my mom had to leave me. I remember crying my eyes out because I never left my mom's side before that day. My teacher, Ms. Guida, walked my class and I up five flights of stairs to our classroom. She sat us down at tables in groups of 4. That is when I met my best friend, Anasheri, and two really close friend Ricardo and Eric. That first day was sad for me because I missed my mom. But I still enjoyed it because I made really good friends who made me feel so comfortable.
