I believe everyone should be treated equal. The reason I think that is because we are all human. We all need to be treated with the same respect as everyone else. Even though it might be hard to treat some people with the same with respect as others. Because some people might be harder to get along with than others. Another thing is even someone has special needs or speech impared they don't need to be made fun of. Because they want to be treated with the same respect as everyone else. Yeah they might not look, talk, or even act like you. Doesn't mean you have to put someone down for being different. We all have something that someone else doesn't have and we shouldn't judge or be rude to people for that. If you were to see a girl walk around in all black and have chains and buckles. You might think she hates the world doesn't mean we need to shun her. She might have came from a broken home and that is her way of exspressing it.

Today was really adverage everyone in my classes were worried about having their classes switched. In my first hour we didn't get to present because there was a poweroutage at our school. In my next class a guy from NotMyKid came here and told us his story he was really funny. After that I heard music playing in the halls from Lion King. In my math class we have to do some homework not a lot but some.

My thoughts about wearing pink on breast cancer awareness month, well I think it's cool that we are supporting and are aware about the subject and that we wouldn't take it lightly and just put on a pink shirt because our friends are. I actually lost my dad's mom to breast cancer so I wear the pink to remeber her because she died when I was 2. Even though I don't like pink and the color of pink in my closet is limited to a pink bracelet and a pink butterfly on my shirt I will still wear it.

In first hour my group finished our power point presentation for the Jim Crow Laws in the computer lab. I was able to finish any other homework that I had not finsished even though all my homework was completed yesterday. In second hour we learned some more about abusive relationships and how to get help from one. After that I turned in my math homework and turned it in, I don't think we have homework today. For lunch I ate at the deli and got an asian chicken wrap and the lunch lady told me that this was going to be the last week for Asian Chicken wraps. Why would they take it away...after I got over my 2 second meltdown I sat with my friends and walked to my next class when the bell rang.

My biggest project that is coming up is in my Language Arts class. We have to make a powerpoint or some type of presentation. To show to the class how the novel How to Kill a Moking Bird relates to the Jim Crow Laws. For my group of four we decided to make a powerpoint presentation on the subject. We were the first group to finish our power point and then teacher said it was amazing and she liked it.
