Freshman Year.

Every first day I walked in I always thought this year would go by slow. Freshman year has come and gone, its ran its course and now its time to move on. I will always remember making new friends and all my teachers. This year had ups and downs but its come to the end where everyone needs to forgive and forget. Drama made this year a little out of control. Maybe a lot out of control, but its in the past and Im ready to move on. My Freshman year here at Moline High has been amazing. I'll never forget this year of high school. My very first year of high school. I can't believe it's already come and gone, but I hope I'll have just as much fun Sophomore year. I'll miss every single one of my friends over summer, but I'll see most of them next year. My year was amazing all around.

How is life on the farm similar to the life of some people.

Animal Farm has a lot of meaning behind it, and some things on the farm aren't fair. There are things that aren't fair in life too. One example of how the unfairness on the farm is Old Majors speech on how life on the farm isn't fair. In the speech he talks about it with all the animals gathered around and he starts to give examples on different things that are important, but how it's not fair to the animals. Some examples of the speech are when he's talking to the chickens, and he asked them how many eggs they have laid in one year, and then how many of them they don't get to raise as their own. When he's talking to the horse and told how when is muscles got weaker they would send him to the slaughter house. Also the dogs and how when they got old and weak the farmer would tie a brick around his neck and drown him in a pond. I've seen many unfair things in my life, and in the life of others. The examples I gave tie in well with things that I have experienced quit like them. When I said how the ducks don't get to raise their own because they get taken from them, I have seen many people lose their babies or toddlers and not get to raise them to teenagers or adults. That's not fair in life, but that's what happens in life. As you can see, some things on the farm aren't fair, and neither are things in real life.

What is power and who or what holds it in your life?

Power in control over something or maybe even someone. Power in this case isn't your car power or the power in your house. In this case its the power in your life. The power that you hold or somebody else holds for you. In your life, who or what holds power? It could be anyone or anything. It might be your parents, grandparents, or another relative. Teenagers have power for themselves but their parents also hold power in some way. Children have power that their parents hold.

Why students always have missing work.

While some people argue the main reasons of why students have missing assignments are it’s to hard, they’re to lazy, or they don’t have time, when really the main reason why the students have missing work is they are always absent.

Some other possible reasons students might have missing work is because they skip. Students skip and they go other places. For example, they could go to a park, more then likely though it would be a park that the cops didn’t patrol. They could go to a friends house and just hang out there. Sometimes they are just staying home because they fell like it and their parents let them. Maybe even just out driving around aimlessly without anything better to do.

The main reason students have missing work is because they are sick . nice Students get missing work from being sick because they miss what was in class that day. For example, students get sick by getting the flu, getting a cold, really bad stomach cramps, stuffy runny nose, or a really bad cough. I remember one time when I got really sick and had to be out for a week. It happened around the beginning of the school year. I came to school on picture day and I was walking down the hall with a couple friends and out of nowhere I started getting a really bad fever you could say. I made it through three periods and then I had to go to the nurse because I started getting really bad leg cramps and stomach pains. My mom came and got me, took me home and I tried lying down. After about an hour I just couldn’t find that comfort spot, like that spot where you feel most comfortable when you have pains, so I went to my mom and I had her take me to the hospital and they said to have to be tested for a really bad flu that was going around at the time. I had to stay out for a week and wash down everything I touched, spray what I sat on, and wash everything I wore or used. They even made me wear a mask because my mom was pregnant and I have three brothers and also my mom’s boyfriend. It was really hard going back to school when I could and getting all my missing work in. That was a really tough time to work to get everything in. As you can see, the main reason for students having missing work would have to be getting sick because there are a lot of different things you can catch now days.
