Anyway, back to the book. When the book begins the setting is in a airport located in Bangkok, Thailand. The main character, Gemma, had just gotten in an argument with her parents and decided to get a cup of coffee. When she was in line, she could feel someone gazing at her. As she looked around she noticed a very cute guy with blue eyes looking right towards her. He looked away as her eyes met his and she turned around waiting for her coffee to be made. She then takes out her British coins in order to pay for her coffee when all of a sudden the worker tells her that they do not accept coins and asked if she had any bills. She replied with the answer that she had spent them all at London. Then she felt a chill up her spine as if someone were standing behind her. It was him. He asked if he can pay for it and if she wouldn't mind sitting with him. He asked her if she wanted any sugar and she said yes. But it wasn't sugar he was putting in. As they talked she drank her coffee and blacked out. It was then at that moment when she was "STOLEN." Throughout they go through a number of challenges and adventure. This is truly the best book I have ever read! THis is the first and only book that has brought me to tears. I have never felt the pain of the characters suffering as much as I did on this amazing book here. I suggest that you give this book a chance because you might just be the next victim to fall in love with it.
IN 8th grade, there was a book fair held at my middle school. Before that day I was never able to buy any books or things because my parents always thought it was a waste of money, but that day they gave me money to buy a book. The reason they gave me money for it, was because I told them that my teacher was forcing us to buy one so that we can have something to read on our special time. I know that lying is a bad thing, but i'm glad I did because otherwise I would have never found this amazing book that I love sooooo much!

I speak for most of the students of Tennenbaum Tech when I say, "THANK GOD ITS OVER!!!!" This year has been so stressful and I'm glad it's finally coming to an end. Senior year should be filled with laughs and great memories, but honestly I'm just waiting for it all to be over. I have had an all right semester, but I know I could have done better. I really did go through a lot this past semester ans I'm glad it's coming to an end because I don't think I would be able to make it through another week. I've tried many things to try and cope with the things that have happened, but honestly I didn't think I'd make it. I plan to have a better second semester and hope that I have more fun than I have been having this past semester. i hope to look back and think how I was able to make it through Senior Year no matter what type of things and issues came my way. I hope to have a successful senior year and be able to be proud of myself in the end. I really hope to make not only my family, but myself proud because honestly at this point I am very disappointed in myself. I just hope to be able to have a better year next year.
Social media has had a very huge impact in peoples everyday lives. Social Media includes snapchat, facebook, twitter, ubstagram, gmail, tumblr,,etc,. Social media hit this world like a giant earthquake. When facebook first came ut. Many people were already with an account in less then a couple days. After that, media was changed. Instagram snapchat, and twitter became apart of that family. These ever day apps are a great way to get you through your boring day, but it can also ruin your life. Having an account to any one of these apps can impact you in a great way. You might not think s at first, but as the days progress, you notice the amount of times you are signing in on a daily basis. These apps are mainly used by teenagers, but yes. Many adults do in fact use these apps as to get closer to their children, keep an eye on them, or just for "fun". In other words, technology can be both beneficial and a huge distraction. For example, technology and social media can be beneficial in many types of ways. Social Media is beneficial when students need to look for help online for an important informative essay or need to check up the weather or traffic or etc,. Social media can be a distraction when students are in class and they are looking through their phones to see if they got a text back or have received A SNAP CHAT NOTIFICATION OR ANY TYPE OF NOTIFICATION FOR THAT MATTER. As a student, I myself will stop at nothing to look over my phone for a notification either because I want a text back or am worried of not being able to answer an important family emergency call. Social media can be either a benefit or a danger. Either way social media is entertaining and I don't really think there is anyway to stop it.
Animal cruelty has been an issue around the world for a really long time As a pet owner, it is unfair for animals to go on life with this torment when they can't speak for themselves. o sure way of knowing whose skin you’re in. It’s been estimated that there are 900 to 2,000 new cases every year of animal hoarding in the US, with 250,000 animals falling victim. Not only do these animals suffer through pain because of the hands of a man, but also for the products we use! Over 115 million animals – mice, rats, dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, birds, among others – are killed in laboratory experiments worldwide for chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing every year. Why should animals have to suffer on cosmetics experiments? do they wear makeup? I didn't know they wore lipstick on a daily basis. Why should they have to suffer through the trials of new products when we are the ones who wear these products. Why not human testing? Also, animals are used to showcase on a live circus to entertain us humans. Yes, you find it amusing, but do you realize the tings these animals go through in order to entertain us?Every major circus that uses animals has been cited for violating the minimal standards of care set by the United States Animal Welfare (AWA). If you did't know this every time you went to see a circus I hope that now you can try to make a difference. And if you did, shame on you. And how do we get these animals to train for circuses, or zoo's or any other exhibition in which animals are staged? Do they walk to s and say," oh take me to a cage to be hurt and beaten? No! many of these animals are taken from their native habitats. The stress of being violently removed from their homes causes a number to die prematurely. These poor animals don't have a voice we are their Voice! Try and make a difference in their lives as the do to us. "A dog is a man's best friend." Donate to an animal shelter near you. (ASPCA) Don't let this huge issue continue. Speak up. As for the video posted above, viewer discretion is advised.
I personally have many addictions, but there is one addiction that I think many of my friends would agree with me on. Yes, my biggest addiction is shoes. I say this because shoes are very important to me in many different ways. One way that they are important to me is that for example, if my shoes are dirty I feel that people see me as a smelly girl. Like I don't take care of myself or anything. Another way is that when people step on my shoes, since I try my hardest to keep them clean and looking brand new, I take it very personally. I say this because it is very difficult to keep my shoes clean so when people step on my shoes, i take it like they are stepping on my face. I really am obsessed with shoes, but not just any shoes. Specifically, Jordan's. I say Jordan's because there are so many different types and they fit my style. I fell in love with Jordan's around my freshman year in High school because my girly girl phase was ending and was becoming more of a girl in between tomboy and girly. This means that sometimes I'd wear cute clothes but add a pair of nikes or j's in that equation. I'm not really into heels or dresses as much anymore, unless i'm going out to a fifteen or wedding or something like that. Anyhow, I really care about my shoes. They are like my babies. I really care for them and when I grow up I swear i'm going to have such a big closest filled with pure shoes. Especially jordan's.
the book of life is my all time favorite movie. this movie is about two little who are in love with the same girl. drama right? the difference is that they are all best friends. Suddenly, she is sent away in order to be changed into a proper lady. While she is gone, Joaquin and Manolo are being taught how to be like their family generations. Manolo is being taught how to be a bull fighter and Joaquin a military man. When Maria returns Joaquin and Manolo continue to fight for Maria's love. Some other things happen, but I don't want to keep giving things away. I love this movie because it is a love story mixed with the holiday of Dia De Los Muertos. I love how this movie has a little conflict because how they both share love for the same women but they don't ever loose their friendship over a girl. This has been my favorite movie for a really long time and I don't think I can ever get over it(:
My favorite holiday has always been Halloween. The reason why Halloween is my favorite holiday because Halloween is the only day where you can dress up as anything or any character from your favorite movie and no one can say anything about you. I like Halloween because not only do you get to dress up and trick-or-treat, but it is also all about fear. Personally I like being scared and jumping in fear(: I love Halloween also because all the candy you get for free. I love candy so much especially on Netflix nights. I also like to give out candy on Halloween because I really like hearing the little kids all dressed up in their cute costumes saying Trick or Treat. Halloween is another chance for my family and I to spend some quality time together. I enjoy being able to spend time with them because with are full and busy schedules, we hardly even see each other and hangout as a family. I love Halloween because because of all the great things and celebrations it has to offer. Halloween is in fact one week and i am super duper excited!!!! Anyone else??????????(;
Jennifer Lawrence is most known as the protagonist, Katniss everdeen, from the movie trilogy The hunger games. She has also starred in numerous movies, but she is best known as Katniss. Anyway, she recently sent an email that has raised a few eyebrows. In this email she explained that she was getting under payed as a woman actor and that the producers were being sexist. She described that her male co-stars were overly payed so why is it that she was getting under payed. This caught my attention because as a woman i don't want to be treated unfairly just because i am a female. I expect to be treated like anyone else. I understand that she is getting under payed, but at the same time i feel that she didn't use the voice she has in order to get what she desired. But then again she shouldn't have to speak to raise her salary because if her co-star is getting a higher amount automatically she should as well.
Expressing yourself means to be able to show everyone around you who you really are. Expressing yourself means that you don't care what the people around you think or say about you. Although expressing yourself is feeling;, it is no easy. The reason i say it is not easy is because of judgment. Judgement is something we see everyday and or hear everyday.
I used to be one of those people who needed to fit in. I cared about what others thought of me and if they liked the way I was. I don't care anymore. The reason why i don;t care is because i wasn't happy when i pretended to be something i wasn't. So I decided to show my true colors and see how it would turn out. Surprisingly, everyone one loved my style and how the way I truly was. I felt free and felt like I can do or change anything. Of course there were still those people who judged me, but at least they judged who I really was and not who i pretended to be. Someone once said "you'll never know unless you try" and for this reason i rook it into consideration and i'm glad i did. For if i hadn't i'd still be faking to this day. Don't be afraid to express yourself just because of what the people around you might think. You might actually think it's the greatest feeling in the world to let people know who you truly are and not have to be hidden behind a mask. Like elsa in frozen says "Let it go" (: Going into senior year, you think about graduating, prom, and all main senior activities. But you don't really think abut college applications or all the work you are going to get or most important, the stress that is gong to come your way. It is barely the 10th week of school and I am totally stressed out. Sometimes i even feel like dropping out sometimes. because of everything. I hate having the feeling of dropping out because it makes me feel weak and dumb. I never saw myself as a student who would ever think of dropping out. My academic stress has really taken a toll over me. My stress has stopped me from getting a goodnight sleep in over 3 weeks. I have been going to sleep around 2am in order to keep my grades up. I wake up at 5am which means that most of the time I only sleep about 3 hours a day. This is why I sleep in Sanwald"s and Cuervo's class. This stress is very overwhelming and I don't think it is going to go anytime soon. I hope that I can get through The main classes that I struggle in is Mejia's and English. THe only reason why i struggle through these classes is that for english all I have issue doing is turning in my assignments ate mainly because I don't have a computer so I have to figure out a way to find one. Mejia's class is very difficult for me to understand. I've gone to tutoring, but it doesn't seem to help very much. I just hoe that this stress can go away and I can be able to enjoy my senior year.
