My trip to California

My trip to California to see my older sister and her husband renew their vows was the best trip I’ve ever had. Me and my two little sisters and our dad went to Atlanta Georgia to catch a plane. We had to leave our house at 4:00a.m.When we got to Atlanta we had to stop at my stepmother’s brother’s house to pick him up so we wouldn’t have to leave the car at the airport for the time we were going to be gone. When we arrived at the airport it seemed like there were millions of people there walking and even some running. Before we got ready to get on the airport train we stopped and got something to eat, and the breakfast tasted pretty good for it not to be my mom’s cooking.
When we got off of the mini train we were on our way to get on the plane. But before we got that far we had to go through a lot of metal detectors. I could see our suit case going through the line following behind the others. We got our stuff, and on the plane we went. I must admit I was kind of scared I had never been on a plane before. The seats were three in a row and narrow. Once everybody got everything settled and seated the plane was ready for take off. When the plane picked up speed to lift us up in the air one of my little sisters looked like she seen a ghost and started crying. Me on the other hand had a smile so big it went from ear to ear.
While we were on our five hour trip the waitresses were dressed up in their navy blue skirts and pants with a light blue shirt button down the middle passing out drinks and snacks. Me and some of the passengers were watching a movie and the others were either asleep or going back and forward to the restroom. I was scared to get out my seat but I had to use the restroom, so I got up and went anyway. When I got in there it was small, and as soon as I locked my door the bell came on in the plane for everybody to be seated and buckled up. The plane started rocking a little bit so; I rushed back to my seat.
When I got back to my seat my little sister had let the screen up to look out the window. When I looked out the window it looked like we were floating on top of the clouds -- it was so beautiful. When it was almost time for us to land we could see the car on the ground they looked like little ants moving trough traffic. Once we landed it was a big thump. We got all our stuff and walked off the plane into the airport. We were in Orange County, California but my sister stayed in Corona. So when we got to the airport we had to go and rent a car. The car we rented was a red four door Pontiac it was just enough room four the five of us to ride.
Once we got into the car and was ready to ride, the sites of California was very beautiful the trees were like palm trees just like the ones in Miami Florida. When we got to my sister house she was shocked to see us because she wasn’t expecting us to come. She ran and jumped on our dad and gave all of us big hugs. Her husband had set it up for us to come that’s how my dad knew where he was going. The houses up there are so close together. They don’t have a full yard, instead they have a back and a front yard.
After we sat and chatted with them we left to go and get a room at a hotel. The room was so pretty, and it felt like we were at home. We had sofas, beds, and a refrigerator. The next day we went back to my sister’s house to figure out what we had to do for the renewal of their vows. After we found out, my older sister, my nephew, and I took a trip to Inglewood, Los Angeles, three hours away from where she stayed, to go and see her mom whom I hadn’t seen for a long time. When we got there, she introduced me to her sister who is the same age as me. She was skinny, with long straight hair, and she wore a blue T-shirt with her picture on it. We hung out a little bit before I left and went back to the hotel with my dad and sisters.
The next day was the big day -- my sister wore a beautiful white sparkly dress that hung down to her ankles so her glass slippers could show. Her husband had on his black tuxedo with his shiny white shoes. After the ceremony and everyone had eaten, it was time for the cake. The cake was three layers with strawberries in the middle. That was the best tasting cake I ever had. Although I wished we could of stayed a little longer I had fun and I hope to go back this summer. That’s why this trip to California was the best trip I’ve ever had.

The March To Montgomery

I read The March To Montgomery by John Lewis and its mainly about African American people being able to have the right to vote. After Lyndon Baines Johnson became president of the united states the black people wasn't able to vote. Because of this Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Reverned Ralph Abernathy, Andrew Young and John Lewis " The writer" came up with a plan to try and win rights for blacks to vote. They decided that they would march from Selma, Alabama to Montogomery, Alabama.

Even though the SCNN Would'nt allow it to happen there were people coming from all over to join the march. They met outside the church to get ready for the march. Everyone lined up and as they started to march once they got to the Alabama River there were state troopers every where, But they decided to keep marching thinking that they was'nt going to hurt them but just arrest them. Instead the troopers attacked them leaving lots of people down on the ground. the next day they tryed again,but when they got to the river they were turned back.

Afterward The President went on television and made a speech.He Called the
Military to protect them. At Night they had lights up in the fields where they were staying they also had someone responsible for preparation of food. It took them four to five days to get to Montogomery. When they made it there everyone gathered together in front of Saint Jude's School and church. The next morning they marched down the street of Montgomery to the capital and by the time they got there they had over thirty thousand people behind them.

Over all I really like this story. It reminded me of my dad running the torch one year and had a lot of people behind him but the only diffrents was he didnt have people attacking them. I think it was sad how they were treated even if they wasnt suppose to be marching the state troopers didnt have to hurt them. I believe that they could of handled it better then they did. I also felt sorry for them cause i feel like they shouldnt have had to go through the pain they had to go through.

I am sixteen years old and I have a daughter that is a year and four months old. Her name is Alyssa, but we call her Saniya. I attend school here at PLC and my daughter attends the daycare center here too. Last week was my first week back in school. I haven’t been to school since November of last year so I’m kind of excited to be back on track and to catch up on my school work.
My first year at Clarke Central high School I became pregnant. It was very stressful having morning sickness and not wanting to get up in the morning. I was always late or tardy to class. The rules at Clarke central was very strict on the number of tardys we got three tardys in one class equal one absent and we could only miss eight days in a semester. I missed a lot of school during the beginning of my pregnancy and didn’t get any credits for my first semester.
After Christmas break we all came back to school and I was five months pregnant. Although I didn’t get any credit for the first semester I knew I had to work extra hard second semester. So that meant that I had to do extra work to get back on track. I made sure I did all my work and turned it all in on time, I also had my teachers and my parents to helping me out. By march of that semester I was seven months pregnant, and almost got all my credits for that semester until I failed one class.
I went to school up until April 4, 2007. My due date was April 9, 2007, but I went into labor April 5, 2007 at 4:30 that morning. I didn’t get to the hospital until 8:30 cause I wanted to wait until my mom got off work so she could take me to the hospital. When I got there my doctor was delivering another baby so while I was waiting for her they put me in this room where I could relax. Before she could get to me my pain got even worse.
By 9:40 the doctor came in to check on me, and I was already 6 centimeters dilated. It seem like the pain was getting worse by the minute, but before the doctor could take my blood and put my IV in good I felt like the baby was ready to come. The doctor checked me again and I was 10 centimeters dilated. I had my baby at 10:04 a.m.
School ended at the end of May so I really didn’t get to go back after I had the baby. A week after school let out I went to mini-mester to try and pass the class I didn’t past that semester. Saniya was almost two mouths old, but her dad kelp her while I went to school. I passed lit/comp 9 in mini-mester so when I started school in august I had all my credits to be a 10th grader.
I went back to school when school started. Saniya was four months old. And by that time that’s when all the stress I was having came back to haunt me. Instead of the morning sickness holding me back I had to stay at home some days because I didn’t have any money to pay for daycare. I missed a lot of days of school for my first semester so even if I did pass all my classes I wasn’t getting any credits so I dropped out. I was planning on going back the next semester, but I got so use to being home taking care of my own baby I decided not to go back.
When school started back this semester I stopped being lazy and came to classic city and fill out the application to attend the school, and the next day I came and took the test. When I first looked at the test I didn’t think I was going to pass it cause I hadn’t seen any school work for eight months, but I did. Since the school has daycare and saniya is one now I can come to school like am suppose to and still graduate on time.

Short Story one

I read A Worn Path by Eudora Welty and its about this older lady name Phoenix jackson she wore a dark color dress that came down to her feet and had blue eyes. she walked trough the woods to get to the hospital in order to get some medication for her granson, Who has been sick for two or three years now. on her journey she ran across some very mean and disrespectful people. There was one man who poited a gun at her. But when she got into town there was a nice lady who tied both of her shoes for her.

When she got into the hospital the lady at the front desk was kinda mean to Phoenix she called her names and asked her was she deaf. I think that its a good story over all i enjoyed reading it. I liked how the writer used her descrption it felt like i was watching a movie espeacially in the begin when she described how her long black dress got caught on a thorny bush. I could see what the writer was talking about. Thats why i enjoyed reading this story.

When i got to the end of the book i was kinda disappointed. They left me hanging at the end and i wish they could of gave me more details of what happen when she left the hospital. Like did she make it back home without being intemedated by the people in the wood again or did she make it home safely and did the the medicine work for her granson and did he live. Other then that the story was good.
