my reflection

When I was in the 8th grade I woke up the day before school started and said to myself I will do better this school year. I will try to get all A's this year I will not fail anything this year. I will try to do better. Then I found myself at graduation with one "A" and I was proud. My plan didn’t work out because I was too lazy to do the work but I wanted to get really good grades. Now I find myself in high School about to pass the 9th grade with honors. When I first started going to Parkway West High School I though that high school would be horrible. I thought that the teachers didn't care and would let you fail and idly stand by. But as I have been here I see that that isn’t the case. I see that they really do care and that has made a change in me to want to do better and try not to be lazy. I really want to understand what I am learning and not just pass and not have earned or learned anything. I see a change in my attitude towards education in its self and the educational system in its entirety. I am more disciplined and have more self control because of this experience and have a more education central look on my future. I have also made more friends that are there to up lift me and help me to get better grades. They have helped me to become a rounded person with better views and a better over all person. I believe that this experience made me grow up and mature and become more like an adult in some ways. I think that this lesson was a good lesson learned and it will stick with me and I will not go back into bad habits. I think that this has opened my eyes to how important not only education is but being and over all good person. I think that I am on my way to being the best person I can be.

boy locked in washer machine

I read an article on a little boy that was locked in a washer machine because of a joke at first but then it became serious because the cycle started and the boy was still in the machine.  The man that the little boy was with didn’t know that the machine was fully paid for the cycle and so when he closed and locked the door the cycle began. There is video of the whole thing on this page. Andrea Taylor said, “this is unacceptable they put this child in real danger that could have killed him this is not cool. This little boy was only one years old and one wrong move he wouldn’t be alive.’’ I agree with Andrea she is totally correct these people who were watching his child were being totally irresponsible they could have killed that little boys. It is sad that he was with adults and one being his parent and he was still put in danger. I think that that a should not be trusted with that child anymore and until he really proves himself to being responsible he should not b promoted to being along with his son. Even if this was a practical joke this was not funny who would put their child in a washer machine even if they knew it wouldn’t turn one. No responsible parent think. Khadidrah said, “I think it is crazy watt had a happened to that little baby boy.” I think that there should be serious repercussions to this. Behavior like this from adults with children is totally inappropriate and dangerous.
