The world of sports is all about winning games and having fun playing your sport. These sports are the most popular sports right now, NFL and NBA. For football the super bowl is all most here because the final games are close and we will see who will be playing to be champions. In Basketball the season is almost over and the play-offs are also all most here. The play-offs is the event that makes basketball fans enjoy the most out of every event in the NBA. In these play-offs lets see if the Suns will beat the Spurs to go to Semi-finals. The Spurs have always beat the Suns and we'll see if there is change.
Sports are for fun and they are for enjoying but when injuries come in it isn't that fun and it happens to a lot of athletes. Some athletes loose their career getting seriously hurt. In the NFL a lot of players get hurt and get surgeries. In the NBA a players most popular injury is usually on the knee. Players usually don't play for months. That really hurts their career and they still go through the pain and suffering.
In the NBA the Suns have the best record right now and they are going to play the Timber Wolves. The Timber Wolves standing is 5 wins and 32 loses. Even though the Timber wolves have bad standings they might have a victory over the Suns. The Suns leader is their point guard, Steve Nash. The Timber wolves need to step it up if they want better stats. In the NFL games are still going on and the teams want to make it to the super bowl.
The world of sports is interesting and fun. There are consequences, but they are worth it. Sports are to enjoy and watch. Watching the NBA and NFL, those sports are competitive and they play to win and win a championship. That is the world of sports, enjoy it.

Racial Profiling
A big problem in our society right now is racial profiling. You may ask yourself, "what is racial profiling?" Well, racial profiling is when someone makes a judgment about someone else depending on their race. This is something common today. Every race makes a judgment of another race. It happens everywhere.
A police man can make a judgment about someone. For example, a police man is white and he sees a Latino driving. Even though the Latino is driving at the correct speed limit, the cop suddenly makes a judgment or just because he is racist he pulls him over. That is an example of racial profiling and it is realistic. Yet, it does not have to be a white officer and a Latino. It happens with all races.
Racial profiling started decades ago and it still remains common. Back in the 60's racism was more direct. African-Americans suffered more than any other race that lived in America. Whites used to be very cruel to them. People have no right to judge any person just because of the color of their skin.
In the 60's when hippies were new, they got judged, not because of their race or their color of skin, but how they acted, how they dressed, how they thought and how they looked. I think racial profiling doesn't always have to do with race or racism. Racism is judging someone by their color of skin. Hippies were judged, but that does not mean a certain hippie was judged just by his/her color of skin. People from many different races were hippies and considered part of the counter culture.
We can all fall in making a judgment of someone that we don't now deeply. Racial profiling is finally going away, but slowly. We should all think before making a judgment about someone. being racist can produce hate and get rid of peace and love. Finally, racial profiling can happen any where any time and to any one.

The Boy with the Gun
Having regular backpacks should be a privilege. People should earn the right to have regular backpacks. A bad student could bring anything in his bag. He could bring a weapon that could hurt a person and/or people. A weapon could be hidden anywhere in a bag. This poem here represents a person who brought a gun and the consequences.
The boy with the gun!!!
A kid went to school
With a gun in his backpack, he though it was cool.
All he wanted to do is be popular and rule.
And in some way it was going to be cruel.
He went through first period
With a gun in his bag
Then second period then third.
He went to lunch with a smile in his face,
he was walking in a very fast pace.
He walked in a crowd and they all smiled
They never knew what was going to happen next.
He dropped the gun,
Three people began to run.
Only one got shot
Everybody ran to her and the puddle of blood.
All she could see
Was the people who plead,
for her not to leave!!!
One week later they returned to the scene,
of what use to be.
A place to have fun
Where they can be their selves' and run,
now we think of pain.
When it all started with having fame.
All she wanted was to live life.
All she wanted was to have fun.
Now nobody will forget her,
The person who got shot with a gun.
The boy with the gun!!!
A kid went to school
With a gun in his backpack, he though it was cool.
All he wanted to do is be popular and rule.
And in some way it was going to be cruel.

Underground Railroad: Road to Freedom or Death?
I'm writing this are to explain how the underground rail road started, why, when and how it was like. My sources were only books.
You may be wondering what the under ground rail road is, well it is the term given to slaves escape routes.It helped runaway slaves to reach safety of the northern or in Canada. Slavery was illegal in Canada. The rail road routes led from the south to the north. (Although they were not really railroads at all, but routes where people would go from place to place).
The Underground Railroad sprang up and grew over time as more people helped run away slaves move north. Even though it was illegal, they helped them because they believed that no person should own another person. Although many lucky slaves made it to freedom, other unlucky slaves didn't make it at all. They were often hunted down while trying to escape. They were sometimes beaten and even shot when captured. As another punishment for trying to escape. Slave owners would cut off their fingers, heels or toes.
At the end of the war of 1812, U.S. soldiers spread the word that Canada was a safe place for run away slaves. So some slaves began the long and life threating journey to the North. Many slaves each had their own idea of a good hiding place such as houses,farm's,barn's, cave's secret compartments and even grave yards.
Slaves took directions from the north star and moss that grew on tree trunks. People who helped run away slaves were called Conductors. Conductors had secret codes that helped slaves get to their destination safely; like quilts and stones the tapping of stones meant for slaves that it wasn't safe to come out at the moment. A bear claw patterned quilt meant for the slaves to follow bear tracks over mountains.
The most famous conductors were Uncle Billy Marshal and Harriet Tubman. It is believed that they helped over 300 run away slaves make it to freedom. Alexander Ross was also a conductors, but even more impressing he was a white doctor with a big heart. He helped many slaves by providing them with supplies and Canada directions.
By the 1860 many states have passed laws for or against of slavery. That same year, Abraham Lincoln was elected as the U.S president. He did not believe in slavery even thought it was legal under the U.S constitution. He thought the federal government had no power to out law slavery. He said each state should decide if it was legal.
The Underground Railroad was a dramatic protest action against slavery. This secret operation was part of a organized abolitionist activity in the 1800's. The story of the under ground rail road includes the many brave slaves determined to reach freedom, as well as the people who helped them. Although there were many routs slaves could take only few from each slave states made it to freedom, the nearest were either were captured or they died of starvation or extreme weather. Slavery started in 1501 and it ended completely in 1865, that's a lot of years that remaining slaves had to put up with. Many say it was worth it, at least they were free for ever.

book review: Among the Free
A review of "Among the Free"
How is Among the Free like the Holocaust ? Can it become our future?
Stopped dead in your tracks as you hear the loud banging of the door followed by a horrible sound of scary men who call themselves population police. Once you hear that chills run down your spin as you go into hiding. At the same time you family is trying to erase any evidence that you were there. You crouch down in a small space in the dusty attic. So many thoughts are racing through you mind as you hope you don't get caught, you pray that they don't find you. At a long inspection they finally leave and you are free to come out of hiding.
As horrible as that sounds this is a usual procedure for Margret Patterson Haddix's characters in her book Among the free ( from the series shadow children). The Shadow Children series is a futuristic based book about a society where the government only allows two kids per family due to droughts and famines. In the book Luke Garners is a twelve year old boy has never experienced life outside of his house because he is a third child. Now after getting a fake ID and posing as Lee Grant he is going to risk his life to take down the population police. After reading this series question popped up in my mind. Is Among the free like the Holocaust? Could this eventually become our future?
Like the Holocaust , many people were killed in Among the free. Innocent people died because they were born 3rd. In the book they would hire what they call population police to get rid of [kill] 3rd children. Population police were so big they could have been considered an army. The Population Police were equivalent to the Nazi. They killed and controlled Innocents. That would mean the third children were equivalent to the Jewish back during the holocaust.
Among the free is a very powerful book. In my opinion the whole series is addicting, but as good as it is what would it be like if it became reality? With the way things our going in America, I'm honestly afraid of our future. Droughts and famines were the reason for this incredibly insane law for less population. People got this crazy idea that third children were the reason. Although the population is getting bigger I don't see a better reason to destroy a human bean. Even with the crazy accusations of this fictional book, could people ( presidents mainly) be inspired by this. Possibly even think is is a great idea?
Could this possibly be our future? Could America be taken over in these preposterous thoughts? Could Among the free and another holocaust become our future? Could we those millions and lose our freedom? Just the thought scares me out of my wits. I guess we will just have to see what the future holds for us!

Well you may think that movie reviews might not be such a good idea for a newspaper.But do you want it to be just plain old boring, educational but not always interesting? I think its a good idea because you can see what the latest movie reviews are so you can see which movie is actually worth watching.Like I am legend has been popular and you can look up the reviews and stuff to see if its good. Personally I think its a good idea to put these kinda of things in a newsletter.but in the end i guess its up to you to choose to look or not.
Hey there! My name is Dimplez, and I'm one of the movie reviewers for The Social Voice website. So if you have any questions you can ask me or my partner in crime Sweetpaige! Not really in crime, more like in viewing movies. I'm going to be checking out as many movies as I can. So I will be writing about all of the movies I see. But if you still have any doubts message me at anytime you can. I'll reply to you as soon as I can. The movies out at the time that I'm going to be checking out are the ones above.
Ok well one of those awesome movies is The Orphanage. If you're looking for something scary but not so much you can't sleep.... Look no further. This is an absolutely GREAT movie. It's intense and full of action. You really need to check it out! Of course, it is rated "R," so you need to have a parent or some 18 or older with you. The thing is there really isn't anything rated R about it. So enjoy.
You should also try watching movies out on VHS and DVD. It doesn't matter how old it is. One of my favorite types of movies are the Disney princesses movies. They totally rock. If you haven't already you should try watching them all. There's Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Aladin, Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast. You can also watch the sequals of Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and Cinderella. But they're not as good as the originals.
Ok well I told you about some movies. So if you want to know about any other movies just let me know! Also if you need any advice on video games, message sweetpaige. Trust me she'll tell you pretty much what you need to know about that. Well thanks for reading this. Have fun and enjoy watching all those amazing movies!

global poverty
Did you know that nearly 25,000 people die every day of hunger or other related causes? One person dies every three and a half seconds. As you can see in the picture below, children are the ones who die most often. They are the victims. We are the only ones that can lend a helping hand.
Even though there might be enough food for all the world, the problem is that the hungry people don´t have enough money to buy food. With no food they are more likely not to go to work, they become poorer and get more hungry. Until it comes to a horrid ending that involves, "Death." There is still hope some. Have you ever seen on TV or gotten in the mail some information about how to be a sponsor for a small little kid that needs your help in order to survive another day? What do you do about it?Do you just throw it in the trash or do something about it? This is what America and other states should do. Why bother fighting for some dumb reason rather than take care of the people that are really in need? ACT UP!
I would say that each little state should have a good leader.Maybe then will the leader learn that people have opinions too. Wouldn´t you want to have a leader that supports the poor, takes care of the old, someone that helps out schools give a better education for your kids? Half of the world live on less than $2 a day! Do your parents or you get payed 2 dollars a day?I mean working the whole entire day and getting paid only two dollars isn't fair! While other people work 6 hours a day and get payed 150 or more! Sadly that does occur in the daily lives of others. Poverty is not just a little problem, its huge problem! The way I look at it is horrible.
I had an experience once not to long ago,a man that looked like he was a homeless, came up to us (me and my dad,we were in the laundry place) and asked my dad for some money, my dad said that he didn´t have any at that time and told him he could have a bedspread that looked fairly new and was in good conditions, but the problem was that the bedspread was in the trash. Someone has thrown it in not too long before he came in. At first he said no thank you,but then my dad told him it will be great for a place to sleep in!!! He didn´t think about it much. He rapidly took it out and as we watched he folded it and place it in his ¨FOOD CITY¨bag.My dad gave him chips and he greatly appreciated it.He sat down and started eating the chips (My eyes got a bit watery.)Then not to long came the laundry assistant and told him to please get out! He said O.K and thanked my dad then he left....I ran into the laundry´s restroom. I burst out in tears.(I'm the emotional kind) If someone is suffering I can´t help myself and begin to cry.Then my dad began to tell me the reasons why people like them shouldn´t be given money but help...Consider this he said that he would rather give money to a person that can no longer work then a person who just roaming around streets asking for money so when he reaches to an amount he or she can go waste it on beer. SAD!.............
Poverty hasn't change much over the years. It continues to ruin lives daily,and they are always in need of our help. And its up for to us to lend them a helping hand. In order to do that we need to donate money to a charity that helps the ones in need. A couple cents a day makes a big difference in their daily life. Don't you like to see little kids happy? I do.So think about it.
Eva Peron
Eva Peron, the History of a Hero
On May 1919, Argentina became the home of what became a hero, her name Eva Maria Duarte AKA Evita Peron. Growing up very poorly with five more siblings and no dad Eva had to live in a one room shack and work in kitchens of rich houses instead of going to school. After turning 16 she moved to Buenos Aires, and filmed a few movies and worked at a radio station. In 1945 Eva met the Minister of War, Juan Peron. In less than a year they were married and she helped him run for presidency. To their surprise they won. As the first lady, Eva started her own foundation and made many schools and hospitals. She also helped women with their education and workers that were being exploded. Soon Eva had made many friends and enemies, because she embraced her poverty and became to many the first women politician even though she was only the president's wife.
Her worst enemies were the rich people in Argentina. They hated her because she didn't like them and did everything to put them down. When the oldest charity in Argentina didn't invite her to be the president, she cut all of the money they received from the government, shut them down and started her own foundation.
Eva's political life was short. She was diagnosed with cancer in 1950 and she knew she was going to die. Since she was so loved by people in Argentina she did one last thing before giving up. She ordered some workers to build her something that would hold her standing up so she could seem like she was fine and they did. When she finally felt ready she used her biggest coat and covered her whole body so people wouldn't see what she was hiding. She went out on the streets and waved at everyone.
The very next year on July Evita died. The whole country was devastated and so was her husband. Up to this day everyone remembers her and that's what makes her a hero. She came from the lowest and embraced her poverty becoming the first lady of Argentina, to many the first woman politician and most important of all Evita.
National Gossip
Gwyenth Paltrow is she really starving herself
Gwyenth Paltrow was hospitalized on Monday and released some time on Tuesday, and her publicist rightfully refuses to discuss the reason for her hospitalization. However, that hasn't stopped people from speculating why she needed to seek medical attention.According to new york magazine, Paltrow, who usually eats a macrobiotic diet and practices yoga and Pilate's regularly, was doing a fast, which could have lead to her hospitalization.
The actress was said to be on a five-day live-food fast from New York. The temporary diet does allow for some food. "She's eating salads. There's actually quite a bit of food there, it's just all raw and organic," says an employee of Organic Avenue.
We don't like the word fast when it's not referring to cars and speed. I hope you eat soon Gwyneth Paltrow. She has learned to star eating healthy instead of just starving.
Britney Spears pregnant again..
We were very suspicious about the Spears spermination reports, but this is rocking our world!
Brit Brit was videotaped browsing home pregnancy tests at Rite Aid a few days ago with paparazzo lover boy Adnan Ghalib. Maybe she's just messing with us????If she is pregnant she needs to be a better mom than she was with her other two boys!I seriously don't think she is because her belly is not growing unless she is but who knows. I hope Britney does better in recovery.
Jaime Lynn Spears PREGNANT
As much fun as it is to berate the Spears sisters for all of their missteps, what really irks me is the fame-whoring that is clearly going on. Jamie Lynn and Mama Spears announced the news to Magazine's before telling most of their family. K-Fed was warned only the day before the issue dropped and the Spears clan did not even have the decency to tell poor Britney before the magazine hit newsstands. Reading about your sisters' lovechild on the cover of a tabloid? I know that's the way I would hope to find out about any pregnancies in my family. It hurt all out of Zoey 101 fans it hurt them that the how was cancelled unexpectedly.
Dear Fluffly
Relationship problems :(
Dear Fluffy,
I have been in a friendship for a long time. But lately it seem like shes avoiding me. Ever since she started to hang out with other people. I would be walking towards her and she would just turn away. I think she has seen me when that has happened. What should i do should I still talk to her or should I do the same thing she is doing?-anonymous
Dear anonymous
This is a very tough situation. Especially if your friends' friends don't really like you. If I were in your shoes I would get talk to her in private an let her know how you feel. But, DONT make her choose between you or her new friends because chances are that she will be confused and you will make her feel pressured. If she doesn't understand you and ignores you after that then reconsider your friendship. Because if she doesn't talk to you when shes with her other friends then she isn't a very good friend.
Too much school work!
Dear Fluffy,
I am a hard working student always gets my work done. Or used to. Lately i have had a hard time concentrating. I get distracted with every little thing. I got lazy. What are some ways that I can do my work without getting distracted? -K.D.
Dear K.D.,
I know exactly how you feel. First focus! The best thing to do if you have homework that was given to you in class and you have some spare time instead of just sitting around get started on it. When you leave class you will be about half way done with it. You can probably even finish it! Another tip is if you have an assignment start it the day it was assigned to you do a part of it each day and by the due date you will have it finished. Don't wait for the last minute to do it. Because we all know how that goes!
Dear Fluffy,
I am friends with a guy that hates himself. He calls me every day. most of the time he is on drugs or drunk. He is a very cool guy. Me and my friend talk to him a lot. He is always getting into trouble. With the police, school and his family. It worries me that every time he calls me he starts talking about dieing. He repeats it and repeats it. It gets me sad. He says that no one cares about him not even me. I'm scared that he might do something stupid. What should i do to help him?-Scared
Dear Scared,
I know how you feel. But all you have to do is give him time. But just make sure that he knows you are there for him. Give him tough love... Yes at first he might be a total butt head...But he will thank you sooner or later... Make sure he's all right... Call him from time to time even though you got nothing to say. Just make sure he know you are there...
Dear Fluffy,
I have been in a friendship for a long time. But lately it seem like shes avoiding me. Ever since she started to hang out with other people. I would be walking towards her and she would just turn away. I think she has seen me when that has happened. What should i do should I still talk to her or should I do the same thing she is doing?-anonymous
Dear anonymous
This is a very tough situation. Especially if your friends' friends don't really like you. If I were in your shoes I would get talk to her in private an let her know how you feel. But, DONT make her choose between you or her new friends because chances are that she will be confused and you will make her feel pressured. If she doesn't understand you and ignores you after that then reconsider your friendship. Because if she doesn't talk to you when shes with her other friends then she isn't a very good friend.
Too much school work!
Dear Fluffy,
I am a hard working student always gets my work done. Or used to. Lately i have had a hard time concentrating. I get distracted with every little thing. I got lazy. What are some ways that I can do my work without getting distracted? -K.D.
Dear K.D.,
I know exactly how you feel. First focus! The best thing to do if you have homework that was given to you in class and you have some spare time instead of just sitting around get started on it. When you leave class you will be about half way done with it. You can probably even finish it! Another tip is if you have an assignment start it the day it was assigned to you do a part of it each day and by the due date you will have it finished. Don't wait for the last minute to do it. Because we all know how that goes!
Dear Fluffy,
I am friends with a guy that hates himself. He calls me every day. most of the time he is on drugs or drunk. He is a very cool guy. Me and my friend talk to him a lot. He is always getting into trouble. With the police, school and his family. It worries me that every time he calls me he starts talking about dieing. He repeats it and repeats it. It gets me sad. He says that no one cares about him not even me. I'm scared that he might do something stupid. What should i do to help him?-Scared
Dear Scared,
I know how you feel. But all you have to do is give him time. But just make sure that he knows you are there for him. Give him tough love... Yes at first he might be a total butt head...But he will thank you sooner or later... Make sure he's all right... Call him from time to time even though you got nothing to say. Just make sure he know you are there...
steroid use in baseball
The report that you are going to read today is about steroids in the history of baseball. This drug does help the athletes but it can also injure them in their life. This situation has been around for years,and for years to come. Many athletes ruin their sports career trying to get all strong and muscular for all the ladies to want them I'm guessing. This situation has been trying to be stopped for generations, and people will try and stop it for generations to come. It's unbelievable how many athletes are willing to risk their career and their life just to improve their game in sports.
The first athlete that I am going to make an example of is the home run king Barry Bonds. He has been around the the game of baseball for many years now. He is a baseball player right now and his father was a baseball player back in his time. He just recently broke the all time home run record that was held for so long by Hank Aaron one of the first black baseball players to break a record in his career! After he had broken the record he was accused of using enhancing steroids. This was not the first time he was accused of enhancing steroids he was accused a while back in his career but no one really paid attention to that after a while because he was never proven innocent or guilty. Until this day Barry Bonds' ticket to the Hall of Fame is in danger!
The second player that I will use as an example is Mark McGuire. In case you don't know who that is he was a player for St.Louis Cardinals, as a matter of fact he was their leading home run hitter! He is in the top ten when it comes to home runs. He was also accused of using enhancing pills for improvement in his baseball game! People say that he should be stripped from all of his career titles. He does have a lot of accomplishments in his career but thanks to him using the enhancing pills all those are at risk of being taken away.
Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire are not the only baseball players to take these pills. Sammy Sosa was also accused of being a steroid abuser. He also is in the top ten of the all time home run hitters in the M.L.B. (Major League Baseball). Sammy Sosa is the all-time home run hitter for the Chicago Cubs,but now plays for the Baltimore Orioles. He did retire for a season because he was accused of steroids enhancing. People also say that he should be stripped of all his home run that he has hit through out his career.
Baseball is not the only sport that has players enhancing steroids into themselves, but so far it is the sport that has had the most in their league. So many players have been kicked out of their career because of this situation. Some people have no clue why people bother to use these dangerous drugs. But they do it anyway no matter what they are told for some reason they just won't listen!

violent video games
Violent video games
Do you really think kids get more aggressive playing violent video games? My answer is no how can a violet video game do that to kids. If parents think it is to violent they should not buy it for their kids. Kids do not got more aggressive because video games they might get aggressive because the way they are treated or what they see at home(not video games). Kids know what is real and whats make believe they just decide to blame it on the video games. Some kids let their anger out by playing video games. Some studies show that the more violent games get the less violence there is in teens. But some people see it differently.
How many people actually get aggressive because a video game? video games are just something kids do to pass time and have fun. It's like you didn't play games like that. I mean power rangers for example they have violence in that how about that? You see kids pretending to be power rangers you don't see people pretending to be people from grand theft auto do you? But seriously there is other thing that may make a kid aggressive and i believe video games is not one of those things. If everything that had violence was taken away there would be no games and no t.v. shows
One of those many things might be related to abuse.If you abuse your kids they probably use video games to take out there anger.Grand theft auto for example they probably shoot everyone because it calms them down.But i bet you that they wont do it in real life.It could also be because there bullied by brothers or sisters.They probably do it when your gone(parent).
I do not think it is video games that are a bad influence i think it is people.I mean if you look at what the celebrity's do why don't people say anything about that answer*people like gossip* I'm pretty sure everyone likes gossip. I'm not saying that they should take out all the celebrity's but the ones that are a bad influance. If you are really worried that your kids might influence from them just try getting them games that are for are rated "E". So if you are scared about what your kids are playing you should make sure that what they're watching is appropriate. Have fun playing video games!

poems #2
I am poem
I am kind and helpful
I wonder why there is so much racism
I want my family to always be united
I am kind and helpful
I pretend that I am rich
I feel my mom hugging me
I touch goals in my life
I worry that people are not safe in their own houses
I cry when I hear someone from my family fighting
I am kind and helpful
I understand that some people don't get along
I say that a problem can be solved one way or another
I dream that my family will always be together and united
I try to understand my parents
I hope that everyone will soon get along
The Border
Why is it there?
People wonder that
it separates different races
people still try to get across
they do this to get a better life
a lot of them try
but only some succeed
and the rest are sent back
or some never return
so why is it there?
Why us?
Why did it have to be us?
The ones that had to be deported
Why not other people
We just came to get a better life
now we're back to our old miserable life
Why us?
and not the people that come to be drug dealers
they come to do illegal things
and we come for a better life
so we did we have to be deported and not them
why us?
A message of hope
We wait and wait
For a message of hope
that my dad is still alive
Its been 3 days now
that he has left
there is no call from him
no letter from him
no sign that he is still alive
So we just wait
with this terrible feeling
and with this anxiety that he sends us
just a tiny message of hope
that is all we need
I swing from a rope
I swing from a rope
Hanging only from my toes
I hang on for dear life
praying down below is my wife
holding on from my hands
are Mike, Sam, Glands
my toes slip
I am kind and helpful
I wonder why there is so much racism
I hear my family calling me
I see people enjoying their livesI want my family to always be united
I am kind and helpful
I pretend that I am rich
I feel my mom hugging me
I touch goals in my life
I worry that people are not safe in their own houses
I cry when I hear someone from my family fighting
I am kind and helpful
I understand that some people don't get along

Fashion
Fashion is a very important topic for both girls and boys.It shows your personality.Fashion depends on what you like.There are a lot of different groups of people.Just like back in the days they didn't really have a lot of different styles of their own.Now in days we each have a style of our own.Yes a lot of people like the same things and like to dress the same way but they do it differently.My topic is Fashion Advice and i want everyone to be able to dress the way they like but with a little help from a person who loves fashion.
Fashion is a very good topic that i like to talk about.When you are getting ready to go out dress nice.If you like to wear a lot of accessories don't use to much.Don't wear earrings,necklaces,and bracelets all together in one outfit.If you do it will look to exaggerated.Always dress the way you like.Don't follow the trend if you don't even like it.Even though some may not like the trend that is going on some do.If you like it try it out and see what you think.Never wear anything that you don't like just to fit in,because you have to feel comfortable in what you like and wear.If you are just planning to hang out with your friends all i can say is to just dress like normal.Of course if your going to parties then dress nice to impress people around you.
The latest fashion news is coming up just around the corner.For teens the latest fashion is mix and match.For example if you are wearing a pink shirt and jeans try to wear a pink head band or some necklaces of color that match pink.If your the type of person who likes to wear a lot of sneakers the newest style is to match the color of you shoes to the color of you shirt,sweater,or accessories.Of course if you are a teen boy then you wouldn't really we wear brackets and necklaces.The mix and match style isn't just for girls but its also for guys.For example just try to match your shoes with your sweater.Trust me it will look good.Some boys even wear pink but i don't think they sell pink Nike's,Jordan's,Reebok's,or any of the "cool"New brands of sneakers there are now these days.
Now i have already given you the new trends for teens.I have to give the new trends for the kids.If you are a parent reading my fashion advice this advice I'm about to give out is to make your kids look good.On the top kids fashion is Just dress your kids up like you always do but please don't exagerate.If you do your kids will look really wierd trust me.Atleast your kids wo0nt have to regret that you dressed them.LOL.Its only fashion for your kids but for you too.

What's Going On?
Have you ever been clueless on what's going in the Borman campus and you missed cool activities because of this? Well this is a very common problem among the Frank Borman students. A solution to this problem would be to instead of listening to the announcements, which I have to admit are a bit non interesting, you can just read each week this part of the news paper and you'll informed about the latest dances to the events where anyone can volunteer. Not only will you be informed but you have a chance to enjoy all this events like dances, talents shows, and places where students can lend a helping hand.
Borman has great opportunities to get involved in the community. Our school has many meetings in which you can show up to help the community like the social awareness club where everyone is allowed to join to make a difference and help in many projects. Another club someone can join is the IMPACT program where you also help the community and our school by using many different sources like technology, accountability, practical skills, and creativeness. These two clubs work together in many events because both of them are dedicated to giving back and lending a helping hand. Even though it takes lots of hard work when but at the end of the day you feel great because you've helped someone in the community. If you are interested in these two magnificent clubs talk two the Mr. Spencer and Mr. Lucero.
We also have nights where the idea is to relax and enjoy the night and have lots of fun like the upcoming event will be on January 24, 2008 which is tomorrow. This will be a great night to bring every relative you know this is a special night is to award all the great winter sports players. This great event will start at 5:00pm and will end at 7:00 pm. The event will be located in the cafeteria for an hour and then it will be in the gym until 7:00pm. There will be subway meals available for the guest to eat. After eating there will be sports, games, and pie throwing at the principles so you can see that it will be a very entertaining night for everyone. The special appearance from the the Phoenix Suns Gorilla which he will be arriving at 6:00, pictures will of the the Phoenix Suns Gorilla will also be available. Overall it's going to be a great time for everyone even the principles!
This information is exclusively for all the artists in the Borman campus. Anyone who thinks they have the talent to draw and design the yearbook cover for the year 2007 - 2008. All you need to do to enter is to get $1.00 and give take it to room 36. Although everyone does have a chance to enter it's time to hurry because the deadline is coming up. All the drawing will be displayed and voted in the library where the drawing with the most votes from the students will. Not only will the lucky contestant's drawing will be on the cover of the yearbook but he/she will be rewarded with a free yearbook and the yearbook will have a hard cover which will be a great memory for the winner to keep through many years. As I said it is a great opportunity but the time is ticking.

I WANT TO BE
I want to be a person that people get along with,
I really want people to like me because who i am,
I need to stop being shy and start being loud and clear to people,
I don't need to change by personality so people could like me,
I could still be myself to what I wanna be,
I WANT TO BE!!!
I want people to like me as a good friend and not a bad person,
I really want people to to tell other people that I'm so cool to hang around with,
I want people to understand me and not just be my friend because they feel sorry for me,
I WANT TO BE !!!

THIS IS WHO I AM
I am a softball player,
I wonder if i can make a home run every time i go up to bat,
I hear my team mate shouting my name,and cheering me on,
I see the other team doing little signs and talking to each other and telling the pitcher to strike me out,
I want my teammates to appreciate the type of player that i am,
I am a softball player,
I pretend that i am at practice with my team when i am on the filed when i play a game,
I feel so happy and ready to win a game,
I touch the my glove and the softball,
I worry if the pitcher on the other team will strike me out,
I cry with joy when my team and i win,
I am a softball player,
I understand that when i make a mistake or that when my coach yells at me,
I say that my team [PRO BLUES] is number 1 ,
I want to be a person that people get along with,

Weather
The way that I'm going to describe the weather to the whole class is that I'm going to inform them what's going on.I'm going to tell the student's what's going to happen for the whole week or each day.Explain to them why are we having the weather each day.If i not making my self clear is that I'm going to explain to them what's happening in our world that we're having this kind of weather.
The weather is a really important subject to talk or to inform.It inform us whats going to happen in our world.For example,it informed us about when we had does horrible hurricanes that killed tons of houses and peoples.it was a really tragedy when that happen.A lot of lives got killed and they people lost there love ones.It's a really sad memory to remember.Thanks for the people that watch out for the hurricanes they tell people in time when is it going to happen or in how many hours or days.
As you can see in Phoenix it has rained a lot during the past weeks because the weather is changing.It has been because up in the north the ice has been melting during the past years.When it melts it just creates something that makes the weather change.

The weather is a really important subject to talk or to inform.It inform us whats going to happen in our world.For example,it informed us about when we had does horrible hurricanes that killed tons of houses and peoples.it was a really tragedy when that happen.A lot of lives got killed and they people lost there love ones.It's a really sad memory to remember.Thanks for the people that watch out for the hurricanes they tell people in time when is it going to happen or in how many hours or days.

Advice from Bubblegum
For someone who doesn't have any time???
Dear Bubblegum,
I am an honors kid and I have sports after school, I have community service and I go to church. I feel like everything is piling up and I feel like if I am losing myself. I feel like my world is crushing down. I have so many things to do that sometimes i just don't know where to start. School is frustrating with all the homework after school activities and just all the friend drama. It's just too much. I know I have to keep up with all my responsibilities but I just feel like screaming my ... head off ! ! ! It's just with all of this stuff I don't have any time for myself!!!! From: Anonymous...
Dear Anonymous,
I know how exactly how you feel. I feel like if the world is spinning and I am just in one place. I know that this will sound weird but doing a schedule will help a lot. i know it sounds cheesy but it works... You might not be able to do everything and save the world but in every schedule have something for you. Like me i like to sit in my room and just chilax and listen to music. my kind of music and just get lost in it, dance around like crazy.

Dear Bubblegum
I am a simple kind of girl who has a super Gorgeous friend, and well I'm NOT. She is the type that everybody is intimidated by. I am not intimidated but it's just that having a friend like that can be a pretty big downer. people say that I look pretty but that's not what I see in the mirror. Why am I so sad?? I feel like my self esteem is going all the way down... what should I do??? I just feel like if I am not the way I used to be. I never really cared about looks but people look at her differently than how they look at me. But why do I feel so bad?? I feel like I am just not good enough. I'm not as pretty and as girly as other girls,I don't brag about make-up. I am just a GIRL... That sometimes doesn't have a voice....From Anonymous
Dear Anonymous,
I know what it feels like to be in some body's shadow just know that nobody is perfect. I know that this might not help as much but just be your self you'd be surprised on how much people think that you are such a cool person....People have things that are just not perfect. It might be hard to realize but don't wast your time on feeling depressed, it isn't worth it. I don't know if you saw the T.V Show La Fea mas Bella or Ugly Betty but all that matters is your personality....There might be people that judge you by your looks but those people are just empty inside. Have you ever seen "The Beauty And The Geek" All of those girls relied on there look ONLY. But later they actually can get there and all of the geeks were able to turn a little bit cute but they got there. Just remember keep going with life. There is good in life all you have to do is keep going and don't look for the luck..it will come to you." Keep Reachin For The Starz " Sincerely, Bubblegum
Dear Bubblegum,
My parents hit me, and it is not one of those hits that you can hardly feel. I feel like if I am alone in the world. I have three brothers. One is older than me and I have two smaller brothers. The older one is only three years older than me, and my smaller sisters are between 12 and 4. I am 13 yrs old. Anyways , my parents are very violent. I have thought of suicide but I don't really have the guts to do it. I also have thought of runaway. That was it... I ran away.. I thought of the whole thing. I will spend the night at my friends house and then go to my teachers house. I know what your thinking what teacher would do that?? But me and her are very close... After I will go see my boyfriend and then go back to my teachers house...It was the smartest plan, well I thought it was. So it was getting dark and suddenly we hear a loud knock. It was only me and my friend alone so we thought her parents got home, but they had the key so who was at the door??? It was one of my friends, I let out a huge sigh. But then my mom and my aunt walked in....Later just about five minutes my friends mom got home...Her mom slapped her really bad...Suddenly my cousin walks in with my 2 brothers. The smallest was at home with my dad. My cousin just came up to me and hugged my so tight, and the thing is she started crying...( My cousin is the same age as me) We got home, and my parents and aunt started talking to me. Later they called the COPS, and told them that they found me. I slept over at my cousins house and she told me that my parents and everybody missed me so bad...But I don't believe her... I think that I am just a sad waste in this land... What difference do I make???From Anonymous...
Dear Anonymous,
I know how it feels to be invisible sometimes, and probably always. But there are people around you that care, all you have to do is open your eyes. For right now you might even seem blind. Example, your cousin cares!!! Do you think that your family don't care then why would they go around looking for you. If you are being abused don't be afraid to reach for help. Talk to hot lines anybody just SPEAK UP!!! People care all you have to do is open your eyes,reach for help, and Speak Up ! ! !

activities
It sucks for the 8th grade girls. They have not won any game. The 7th grade girls have. No exact # but about 3 or 4. The 8th grade boys have won 3 or 4 . In Borman we have got many events/activities, and sports. We have already had many sports and activities go on this year. Let's have a recap. The first season we had Cross-country, and soccer. They were all very successful. The boys soccer team won every single game. Except for when they were put to play against Atkinson, they lost. That was horrible. It was devastating to everyone. The soccer girls team is something very different. They had won a couple, that's good.
To let you all know, cross-country is a sport of which they run in their competitions. They had many competitions. The schools would sometimes come over and do their events. Atkinson, Dessert Sands, Estrella and many others came and did running, shut put, disk-ess, high jump, triple jump competitions against each other. At the beginning of the year we have cross-country, but at the end we have track.
This year in track we're having all of these things and something never done before. It's called hurdles. The hurdles are just obstacles put on the track so the runners jump over them while they're running. It makes it harder for them. This should be interesting!
The soccer teams at our school this year were awesome! The boys had won every game. They defeated everyone but Atkinson at the championships. There wining streak had come to an end. All off us were devastated. Our arch rivals had won. People said they even cried. Many people have thought that was funny. It wasn't, the boys had worked really hard. They were having their hopes up, but they were crushed. If I was having that type of presure and enthusiasm I would have cried too. Not just because i 'm a girl but that stuff is tough stuff to deal with.
