Trying to survive in this world at such a young age
Each day I leave knowing that it will be no easy fight
In the palms of my hands I walk with the honor of my family
I have a tendency to disobey when it gets too stressful
Everyone slips at times but my mistakes will be the new focus
I’m just trying to serve my family the best I can,
For they are my authority figures and role models
I give into their demands and orders,
In which I try to avoid the situation of failure and disappointment
The recommendation to do well and make right choices are brought up
But it seems as if I have no choice to do what I desire
I will continue to serve them
But I am not going to choose the path that was made for me
I am choosing the path that I will make for myself but with the guidance of my family
My accomplishments bring happiness and pride
I end each day being myself and family meaning everything to me.
No barrier will come between us
My infinite love for the ones that love me will never go astray

Allusive Poem
My kind hearted and loyal self,
Always jumping,
Serving them the best I can,
But never a jump for myself.
I do as I am told,
For they are my authority figures.
Recommendations to do well and make right choices are brought up
But it seems as if I have no choices
No barrier will come between us
And I will continue to serve them
But for I will choose the path that I will create for myself
Not the one that is selected for me
Always jumping,
Serving them the best I can,
But never a jump for myself.
I do as I am told,
For they are my authority figures.
Recommendations to do well and make right choices are brought up
But it seems as if I have no choices
No barrier will come between us
And I will continue to serve them
But for I will choose the path that I will create for myself
Not the one that is selected for me

Journal 20-Risky Beauty
Firework displays in Hawaii never gets old. To start off the new year,once it hits midnight many beautiful aerials light up the dark sky. Families begin to light up any fireworks that they have, so nothing goes to waste. But with fireworks there are some health problems involved that is dangerous to both the environment and our health. When fireworks are set off the chemicals react and then they leave a large trail of smoke in the air that lingers around until it fades. Firework shows generate about 90 tons of sky-borne lead pollution. The smoke in the air causes people to have a hard time breathing. 13.5% of Hawaii's population has a hard time breathing. Even thought firworks may be beautiful and fun to play with they do become risky and do create both environmental and health problems.

Dear Regal Cinema Administration,
I have been coming to your Theatre for many years and I have been served with great service. I have had no issues with your theatre before and it keeps me coming back.
However, my friends and I were one of those twilight fans that went to the midnight premiere on November 21, 2009. This had been the first movie premiere we have ever been to and we didn’t know what to expect. When I got into a movie theatre I noticed that there were no seats available at the back of the theatre. I would rather prefer the back seats because the seats at the front hurt my neck. I went to the the other theatre rooms that were playing the 12:03 New Moon Movie to see if there would be any open seats at the back. At every theatre there was the same problem, no seats. We noticed that many people were saving seats for other people. If people were not allowed to save seats during premiere nights, many seats would be unclaimed and people would get better seats. I understand that there were many people who came to the New Moon premiere and it was a very busy night but I feel that your staff should have been directing people to empty seats and not allowing people to save a lot of seats. If those people who had saved seats were getting food and snacks then your theatre should consider having a cart that goes to the rooms so people can get their snacks from the cart instead of leaving the room. I feel that your staff should come up with a more reasonable way to handle the viewers on Movie Premiere Nights.
Other than ending up in one of the front seats, the movie was worth watching and where I sat didn’t matter anymore.
But I do feel that your staff should find a better to handle the viewers and come up with a solution to prevent people from saving seats.
Sincerely,
Desha Garcia

RB Essay
Many teens in today’s society are having sex at an earlier age. It is said that 66% of high school students have had sex before their senior year. Teens trying to fit into the scene of having sex are becoming normal. Many programs are being offered to children to learn about abstinence, sex, and pregnancy. The Abstinence Program pushes teen to wait to have sex until marriage. On the other hand Sex Education teaches the broad spectrum of sex education which includes safe sex, STDs, contraceptives, the causes of sex, teen pregnancy and more. Both programs are being offered to teens around the United States.
Abstinence programs pushes teens to wait until marriage to have sex. This program is not offered at every school, and some people feel as if it should be offered instead of the sex education class. In this program they do not bring up having sex and the effects of having sex. Keeping sex out of teens minds will make them not want to have sex. If teens are learning about sex and all the contraceptives all day it will make them want to have sex because there are contraceptives if they do ever get pregnant.
Sex education classes do not encourage kids to have sex. Teens that are in abstinence programs are just as likely to have premarital sex as those who are in sex education classes. Studies taught in abstinence programs do not help the students that will say yes to sex. Knowing about sex is better than not knowing anything at all. Students who are educated with accurate information about sex prove to have a safer and more responsible behavior. Students should take the sex education class because it teaches you everything about sex and the effects of sex if you do it. It’s the teen’s decision to think what they want to think. They can choose not to have sex and stick to abstinence buts it better to know about sex than to not know at all just in case they change their way of thinking.
Every teen should take sex education classes and learn about sex mainly because there is a lot that teens should be aware of before they start having sex. If they are educated well about the effects of having sex which are STDs, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, or maybe even pregnancy, then they will be more responsible. If they know about the effects it will also scare some sense into the teens that maybe they should just wait or they should have safe sex and that when you have sex it’s basically a risk that their taking.
