CRR

We have to this project for Ms. Hegeman and it is getting me so annoyed because I feel like I have too many projects all at once and due around the same time. Anyways the project concept is nice, but I honestly don’t feel like doing it and I’m getting frustrated. However, I’ll get it done only because I want to pass and have a high average on my report card and keep my good GPA. Miles, Braxton and I picked to do our public service announcement project on the issue of police brutality. I used the injustice way Sethe and Paul D were treated in the novel “Beloved”. I’m not sure what book my partners used. But for our project we are suppose to be creating a little comedy film that shows the issue of police brutality and we are hoping that when people see it that they will understand that police brutality is becoming a huge issue in our society and we have to make a change and not just want a change. Miles and Braxton also did posters where Braxton showed police brutality during slavery time and police brutality now. In slavery time police brutality was shown in a different form and Braxton was able to show that history repeats itself. Miles poster shows a police man going after someone who littered on the ground while someone was robbing a bank in the back. Miles showed that police are oblivious to what’s going on and they focus on the little things when there are bigger things happening.

Free Response: Senior Trip


So we just came back from our Senior Trip to Virginia. I had a wonderful time and was sad when the next day because it was over. However, when I was in the park on the last day I was so ready to leave because it was extremely hot and the lines were long for the rides and they wouldn’t let us skip with our disability paper. Also when I finally got on the bus I was more than ready to leave because the ride was so long and I was beginning to get uncomfortable trying to lay down in the seats. But, I started to miss the trip when we got back to school because I’m so tired of doing work. Anyways it was hilariously to my group in the park because I have a fear of heights and when we riding the sky line, which goes up and down extremely slow, I was holding on for dear life and refused to look at the ground. It was funny now that I think about it. However, I am proud of myself because I got on certain roller coasters that I thought I never thought I would ever get on because the steep drops scares the sh** out of me. There was this one ride where the floor dropped and it was CRAZY! I was thinking the ride was a little kiddy, baby ride because it was going slow at first, but then it started going madddddd fasttttttt and next thing I know I’m screaming for dear life, cursing everything out. The roller coaster started twisting and turning, going through steep drops and then we just stopped and mind you it was dark. Next thing I know the roller coaster dropped and I thought I died. Anyways the ride was fun after I got off.
