My mom is a really strong women that when she falls she gets up up and no one stops her from her goals.  I look up to my mom a lot she never knew she was gonna be a single mom neither did I but she did it.  I'm really proud of you mom and I'm thankful to god for sending me a beautiful mom like you.

what is life

Life is beautiful, life is hard , life is love, life is sadness, or anger.
Life is not always easy. Sometimes life brings you difficulties,
and the reason why is because life just want to show you that you
are strong and able to over come them.
Life is also happiness.  There's always people that make your day
People that are always there to make you happy and laugh.
Life is love.  Love is beautiful it's a deep feeling and sometimes
it hurts...
It makes you cry it makes you stronger then what you think.
Life gives you leasons to learn from them and won't do same mistakes
But life is just one. One life to do anything one life to live there won't be no more
love life to the fullest appreciate it and the people in it.

School Expirence

      School is a really big part of your life.  Many children in the United States start going to school at age 5 until they are 18.  the experience in school is your growing up life, it shows you what you are and can become later on in life.  School has a big impact, every school year you learn something new about yourself.  In the book  The Color of Water  by James McBride Ruth and James describe their experience in school.
       Ruth's experience in school was really hard, being a Jew in the south wasn't easy for her.  She talks about how she felt like an outcast meaning she felt rejected by society. She wanted to escape from Suffolk a country in Eastern England. Back during the twenty century they had segregated schools of whites/blacks/Jews.  Kids were really mean to her they would ask her, "hey Ruth, when did you start being a dirty Jew?"  Ruth couldn't stand being made fum of.  In the book she states "nobody liked me."  Ruth had only one friend.  When she was in in 4th grade, a girl came up to her during recces in the school yard an ask her "lets be friends?"and Ruth said "Okay."  She was the only friend she had.  Her name was France.  A genital girl who accepted Ruth's Jewish background.  They would be together all the time and she was just her befriend. That was the only friend she had no one accepted Ruth just because of her background.
        James experience in school was he felt out of place.  As a consequence, James and his siblings were often the sole black student in school, and suffered prejudice of the white people.  James would talk to himself and alone.  He dove himself into books and music. James discovered jazz during his school life.  Embracing it as an escape from  judging world, to escape from painful realities.  James experienced racism from classmates and teachers. In the story he quotes " We grew accustomed to being the only black or negro in school."  Kids in his school would blur out really mean things to him in the back of the classroom they would whisper, "James is a nigger" followed by giggles across the room.  James was shy and passive his siblings would stood up when someone would call the nigger, but not James was quiet and only later his anger came out of him.
      My school is experience is way different.  There is no segregated schools.  Everyone gets along and there's no racism we all get along very well enjoy hanging out and not leaving no one out place and always making them feel welcome because they are humans just as I am.  I have not experience poverty and school is great for me.  Teachers always trying to help their students in what ever they can and students helping out each other.  School has so much no a days, many girls fighting too much drugs and alcohol it really sucks because my classmates just think of partying.  But there are other students who dedicate so much time time to music and that is great!
     Over years things have change.  School is important no matte what,  never let people get to you.  School is a really big part of your life as well as your growing life.  Sometimes its not easy but at the end school is worth it.

woman's suffrage movement

Lucy Burns was an American suffragist and a woman’s rights supporter.  She was very dedicated to the woman’s suffragist in America and United Kingdom. Burns put so much of her hard work so woman could have their rights.  Along with her partner Alice Paul they fought for the Woman’s suffragist.

Lucy Burns was born on July 28, 1879 in Brooklyn, New York; she died on December 22, 1966.  She had beautiful red hair; she had 7 brothers and sisters and came from an Irish catholic family.  Her father Ednort Burns was always in favor of educating both boys and girls.  She first attended Packer Collegiate Institute also known as Brooklyn Female Academy Preparatory in 1890.  Ms. Burns graduated from Vassar College and attended Yale graduate school, and becoming an English teacher.  In 1906 she went to Germany to study language and to continue teaching in Brooklyn public schools.   Three years later she went to England to study at Oxford University she then became interests in militant activism for the woman’s suffragist movement.

Lucy Burns became interested on the woman’s suffragist movement while she was in England.  Burns had so much dedication on the woman’s suffragist, that she was giving an award for Pankhurst‘s Woman’s Social and Political union for activities in numerous of protests, being imprisoned and her contribution to the movement.  She was arrested six times in the U.S and spent more time in prison then any other suffragist.  In England Lucy Burns meet Alice Paul, they both returned to the United States to fight for woman’s rights to vote in America.  In 1920 the woman began their battle by organizing a protest and speaking out to the press for woman’s to vote.  In 1913 they formed a congressional union for woman’s suffrages, also a 5,000 woman march in Washington on the inaugural day of President Woodrow Wilson which is saying they did the protest a day before the president came.  Later on 1915 woman formed their group the National Woman’s Part and continued the fight for vote.  Burns spent in courthouses and jails during her career, but after picketing the Whitehouse in 1917 her party members including Alice Paul were sent to jail at Occoquan Workhouse.  Paul and one of the part members organized a 19 day hunger strike, they were both beaten and forced to be feed.

After the passage of the 19^th amendment was passed, Lucy Burns retired from the woman’s congressional association and moved to New York and raise her niece.       In January 1917 began picketing the Whitehouse and are more or less ignored.  In April The U.S enters World War 1.  Paul and others continue picketing and demanding the vote for woman.  After a long time fighting for suffragist, they win in the senate and it had to pass to the state.   The suffrage had two more of the of the two-third votes.

Thanks to Lucy Burns eventually the 19^th amendment passes giving all the woman’s rights to vote.  Woman’s suffragist worked really hard and had a horrible life trying to have the woman’s rights to vote.  Woman’s suffragist went through so much but they never gave up on their dreams and goals.

                                                                                                                           

Under Appriciated Job

       Construction workers are an under appreciated job in America, no one sees how hard they work and how we depend on their job.  Construction workers have to work under bad weather and risk themselves getting sick or sun burn.  They work under rain sometimes snow sometimes under really hot weather and they work in the outsides. We know how horrible it is too be in the cold and frizz outside or going outside and being so hot and your trying to cool but there are no fans outside to keep the m cool.  Also construction workers have to work really hard building buildings. There are times were they have to construct big building small buildings and sometimes really tall, I bet its scary working all the way in top trying to make it look good. They make a lot of buildings for people to have a place to live, to work, and students to get their education and have a place to be inside not outside.  Last, construction workers risk their life's with heavy materials.  They have to lift heavy things and its really dangerous, because my uncle works in construction and one of his co workers had one of his legs remove because a heavy metal fell from the top and smashed his leg really bad.  Also one time my dad was working and i big truck run his leg over because they didn't see him and almost had his leg taken off. In conclusion construction workers should be greeted by a thank you card or dinner. 

What will happen to my money...

I think about my future
I think of how I want a lot of money
How someday I'll be rich
but there's to many economic problems in the U.S that
That I get scared, worried, nervous
When I start working I wonder lots of things
I wonder...
Would my money be safe
will I have to go back and work when i retire
Is my money going to decrease after all the my hard work
Life is tough and its not fair sometimes.

Feminist Thing

       Thinking of all the bad thing I've done.  How mad,depress, and sad I am.  I'm to the point where I just want to give up on my dreams and goals.  I've hurt my family and myself.

       I've tried to get help from others, but it's just not working out.  I keep falling and tripping on my road.  i just love having fun and drinking and forgetting about everything smoking cool of and relax myself.  It feels great best feeling ever.  I try the feminist thing which is trying to help myself, it just works for a little bit.  my mom all up on me telling me to stop acting immature, always fighting, my little brother scare when he hears me mad.  i do the feminist thing again it's working but i collapsed again.

       After a while, I started to notice I was failing myself, I'm letting school pass over me.  My friends succeeding I'm all behind in my education.  my mom not speaking to me like before, she's tired of trying to help and I didn't let her.  I'm on my own trying to help myself out.  Its working; I'm creating goals in my life.

       Months have passed; I'm doing very well in school.  I don't go out anymore.  My family and I are getting along.  No more anger, sadness, or stress.  I'm focused in school and I'm feeling happier.  My moody days are gone.  i'm happy to say I'm succeeding.
