17)+Remy+McIntyre

Assignment #11 [BELL RINGS] Ugh ! First day of 8th grade. Hi, my name is Remy McIntyre and 13 years old. I attend Wilkinsburg Middle School. You will learn how my life is and how eight grade life is. I walk in homeroom and see all new faces, everybody look aht me awkward like they never seen a girl before. I feel nervous as sweat starts to hit my face. I take a seat to the back of the class. "Baker,Andrews,Brown,Washington,Penisky,McIntyre", Mrs.Jacobs calls out our last name."Here", I said as I loked around the classroom. Billie Pinisky,in front of me,turns around and says "Hey Remy, nice to see you again". I looked at her like she was crazy, I never liked her she always thought she was better than everybody else just because her dad owns a bank. So what her dad owns a bank, my dad is a doctor. -I looked at her like she was crazy and rolled my eyes.[BELL RINGS] Finally I can get away from her. As I walked down the hall, I noticed a couple of faces from last year,I turn the corner and see my bestfriend April applying lip gloss.I walk my way up to my locker since it was right next to hers,open and check my make up too. "Hey Kiddo", she says. "Whassup",I respond. "Chilling". "Same here, you ready for this year"?? "Yea girl you know it". I start laughing but stop when my eyes cath a gaze on Tyreek Washington,cutest and popularest boy in the eighth grade and Wilkinsburg Middle School quarterback. Our eyes catch each others gaze as he keeps walkng without looking away. He smiles and I smiled back. Aprils snaps me out my trance and dras me by my arm to our first period class.

Assignment #10 I think progress is good,we need progress alot.

Progress is good becasuse we use it for medical needs.We need it for medical needs because it saves people's lives.Like for instince,if you got shot or need surgery, you wouldn't be able to have your surgery because there are special computers that are needed to check the blood pressure of your body,to see how far the bullet is in you. The computers and monitors tell,solve,or even calculate the things we needed to know if we worked with hospital machines. Another example would be if a baby was in the NICU section. They need lots of machines since they are so young. They would definatley need the machines because babies can't breathe that good on their own when they our first born

Assignment #6.
My name is Dima Jefferson. I was given the name Dima because it means "powerful warrior" in Slavic. I always wondered why I was giving this name.All my whole life was based on lies,anger,and pain. . . .Since I was seven, I've been from foster home to foster home. I am now eighteen years old. I've been to at least sixteen different foster homes since I was seven. I've been through alot of pain. I learned to trust no one because all the people I trusted were never there when I needed them. I've been abused and beaten for at least 5 years by my recent foster parents.Back then I couldn't do anything about it. But now i am eighteen, I'm allowed to fight back. But from fighting back I've earned three big scars and a half cut ear on the right side on my face. It all happened when I came home from school and my foster parent decided to wanna be the boss of me. "Go get me a beer out the fridge",he said. I said no and he got angry, so he throw the beer bottle he already had at the back of head. . I've had enough so next thing you know I started punching him screaming "You Bastard You" and he wouldn't get off of me. I then knew he wasn't going to give up so I kicked him in the rear and he got off of me, I hurry up and ran into the kitchen and got a knife. I told him if he was to come near me I would stab him. The room got quiet. . .He made a sudden move like he didn't care anymore and was going to stop.So I put the knife down then by surprise he grabbed the knife and made a big scar across my face. Tears streamed down my face with anger in my eyes. I felt as if there's was nothing else I could do .But there was so much anger inside of me that made me get back on my feet and started giving him a punch after punch. I at least hit him 7 times then stopped. I was so tired, I was ready to show I was not going to give up because I was real warrior inside. I didn't know what my name meant back then but now I know why I was giving that name. I was really a poweful warrior inside. Remy- You are ready to begin with your personal narrative. You did a very good job with the above paragraph. It is creative and you did a good job sharing the thoughts of the characters.

Assignment #4.
People think we should not wear uniforms but I say we should. I say we should because everybody has their own type of style others might not like what others wear so they might tend to make fun of it. So I think we should wear uniforms also because some clothing that students wear are sometimes not allowed or inappropiate.Because the teachers need to see students as equal, plus, clothes always distract other people.

Wearing inappropiate clothes can sometimes get your suspended or sent home. Either way you still loose your education by not being in school but uniforms should be assigned to be wearing everyday.Some shirts might have foul language or inappropiate pictures.Some people might wear very short shorts or skirts tat are not even past thier kness. Sometimes girls where skits that stop at thier thighs. That might put a bad look on them.

Uniforms might also be needed because some people don't have lots of money like others or can't afford nice clothes or name branded clothes. So people might make fun of them if they don't dress like the rest. They might pick on that certain person because that person might have holes in their shirts or stains. Sometimes odors can be attached to their clothing so it would be best to just wear uniforms.

Teachers would need to see students as equal because they can sometimes get the wrong impressioon on other kids and what they wear. Some students might try to treat kids different if they didn't wear what everybody else wear,so that would be better if all the kids wear the same thing.

Assignment #2. I am describing the room. There are dirty chalkboards all around the room. The front chalkboard seems to have the name "Shyheim" written on it everyday.Four rows of desk and two separate in the back.Brown squared floors that never get cleaned.Only four long rectangle shaped windows that is usually make it cold in here with one sometimes open."I Love Mr.Bolls Class" posters fill the room with knowing how much people like our teacher.Pictures of last year's 8th grade class fll two yellow posters on one wall. White paint on all the walls yhat look like they haven't been repainted in a decade.

//**I would love Doctor Calvin Mackie to come back because he taught a good lesson about money.He does't care if you black,wite,chinese,poor, or rich. He accepted all of us for who we are. He ripped one-hundred dollars to show us no matter what happens we can still make it through anytng with value he coughed,stomped spit,lastly ripped the $100 dollars.**//======

=
//**He came here knowing how we would act,how we laugh at dumb stuff and etc. He made a great point when he came and did his speech. His brother is Anthony Mackie also a actor in the movie Notorious B.I.G and We Are Marshall. It would be an inspiration because he encourage others. Since the day he came 9 times outta ten most people don't act how they use to. Especially most of the boys. They learned somethng from him.He taught the girls don't ever settle yourself foe less or look down on yourself because the next**// **person** //**look better than you. That hit me because I used to want to look like other girls but I was only like in the 4th grade ,then I found out the girls that I wanted to be wanted to be me .**//====== **//Remy- Good job talking about how Dr. Mackie's speech was powerful. I think he is a really good speaker as well. I think he did inspire some students, but I know that some people probably did not hear him. Why do you think, as you say, "9 outta ten people don't act how the used to?" Do you really think behavior has changed since he came? Good job writing. I think you can be a good writer. Keep working hard with your descriptive piece//**
