Tribute

  I wanted to give tribute to my grandad.  He passed away March 20, 2011.  He was a very good man.  He encouraged everyone he knew to do better.  He always gave me money when I did good in school.  My grandad me be gone but he still is in my heart and I will always try and do my best to make him proud in haven.  The fact that hurts me the most is that I didn't even get to say goodbye to him and that it wont be the same when we have Easter dinner with out him there.  I will always miss how he wraps me up in his arms in a gentle but firm hug.  I really miss my grandad and I hope he Rest In Peace.

Lost Boys

   We watched a video in class about the Lost Boys. It was very sad to know that boys of all ages were basically kicked out of there house to go find somewhere better to live.  If I were a mom and my son would get killed for staying behind I would have him leave because I would want what is best for him.

   The Lost Boys stride to freedom was a long one.  Many died from starvation.  Some were eaten by crocodiles and lions.  In the end however the freedom they received was much greater than what they were used to. 

  If I were a Lost Boy I would be sad at first that I would never see my parents again but happy that my life would get better as time progressed.

Tsunami

    The earthquake in Japan caused a tsunami after which was very disaterous.  If I was in Japan I would be very scared.  I think us as citizens should help those in Japan cause if we were in the situation they were in we would want them to help us out.  As time goes on we should try to help them regain the land and houses they have lost.  I have a friend whose dad lived in Japan and he is okay but he was in the airport as the earthquake happened.  She told me that he is on his way home and I pray for her and her family everyday.

   Next time you think about family and problems you may want to think of those in Japan who have maybe the same problem but a little worse/
