Assignment # 16: The Journey

“Chirp, chirp chirp chirp”, you might think that this is the sound of a beautiful bird, but it’s my alarm awakening me to this beautiful cabin. I take a glance around my room a see the sun peaking threw the window, just staring at me. I suddenly started smelling pancakes. MMM it smelt so delicious. So I got out of bed to fallow this smell, but I ran into my dumbbells, and fell face first. I set a goal for myself as I usually do every morning, but this time it was to find where the smell of pancakes are coming from. I looked around the room again and my cabin looked really clean. My cabin had windows going all around it. It sometimes felt that you were outside, but you would really be inside. The cabin was made out of glass.

The sun was starting to shine brighter and brighter. So to follow my goal of finding wear that smell of pancakes is coming from, I took a walk outside. Now the sun was just attacking me with all of its force. I noticed a big field in front of me. There were so many beautiful flowers. There as many as millions of flowers that if you went in between them, you would probably get lost. For some reason the flowers were every single color that you can imagine. Hiding behind all these flowers that went for miles was a waterfall. The waterfall was rushing down in a hurry, it felt as if it was in a race against itself to get to the flowers as fast as possible, but couldn’t quiet reach it.

Even though all that was there the smell of the pancakes was still drawing me towards it. So I kept on walking in a dirt path in between the flowers as some of them reach out and touch me. I was getting closer and closer to the waterfall. As I was walking I noticed a herd of tigers drinking from the stream. This waterfall was falling from a hill that looked like a very big mountain, but for some reason the smell was coming from the top of the waterfall. So I started climbing the mountain and every step I toke the water just kept on splashing me. The water wasn’t about to stop me from my pancakes, so fought threw it and kept on climbing.

I finally got to the top and saw a table full of pancakes just waiting for me. I started to walk towards it. Suddenly, I fell again, but this time it wasn’t because of the dumbbells, but because of a little rabbit running right beneath me. The rabbit was okay so I kept on walking. The dream was about to come true, but something caught my attention. I looked down from the mountain and the flowers and stream look much better than it looked when it was down there.

These pancakes looked god made. It had some kind of magic. It looked very big with strawberries on top. It had the smell that can probably travel around the planet and back. I took a big bite, and it was the best thing that has ever happened to me. I felt like I was full of energy. There was nothing that can stop me from eating the rest of it. Well that was the best thing that has ever happened to me. The world felt like it was just still, but the raging water was still rushing down. I wonder why the water wanted the flowers or was it the flowers pulling the water to them self. I guess every living things has its needs whether it’s the flowers wanting water or the tiger wanting water or just me wanting the great pancake made by imaginary person or god if you believe in him.

Assignment # 14: Persuasive Essay: Uniforms

1 2 3 tick tick tick time is going by. A boy getting beat up at a school to which he is new to. Nobody there to help. Who are these people that are jumping him? Well can they be gangsters from another school. Imagine an environment that was very hard to live in, so you decide to move to another school so you can feel protected and safe. Somehow now they have fallowed you and the administration didn't even notice them come to the school because there is no way of telling. They don't wear uniforms or have ID cards so practically anybody can come in and do whatever they want without any consequences. For a school free of violence you need uniforms.

Have you ever gone to McDonalds and witnessed all the people not wearing the same cloths? Have you ever gone into a hospital and witnessed all the doctors not matching? Well the answer for all of that is NO. An environment without uniform is not a very good one. Schools are supposed to train you for your future goals and tasks that lay ahead of you and most of the careers require uniforms. So why not start the training now, so you can be prepared. Some Potential Benefits of School Uniforms is Preventing gang colors, etc. in schools, Decreasing violence and theft because of clothing and shoes, Instilling discipline among students, Reducing need for administrators and teachers to be 'clothes police' (for example, determining whether shorts are too short, etc.), Reducing distractions for students, Instilling a sense of community, and Helping schools recognize those who do not belong on campus.

There are not that many rich people in the United States. About probably 10% of the people can actually say that they are rich, so what happen to the rest of the 90%. Most schools that don’t have uniforms force the poor people to buy much more expensive cloths than they need to. If they don’t than everybody makes fun of them by quotes like this “Uhhh, look at what she or he is wearing”, or “That bitch wears the same cloths every day.” But with uniforms that wouldn’t be happening. They would all look the same so at least if a person doesn’t like somebody, they don’t have to use the clothes as an excuse.

Beauty is a factor that everybody wants to show. The only problem is that everybody doesn’t have it. There are many girls at school that wear small clothes so they can show off. The administration doesn’t agree with that, but if they had to all wear let’s say pants with a collared shirt, than why would they wear small things to school. There are also situations that girls wear shirts that show too much breasts, well they can solve that exactly the same way.

Gangs cause a lot of damage to our environment and society. They destroy our buildings and facilities by tagging on them. One thing that affects schools is that they wear the same clothes so they can all represent the same gang which causes more trouble. Uniforms can stop the gangs in school from matching because they will not only be match each other, but every single other person that goes to that school.

So let’s work as a team and make schools better for the next generations of kids. Our goal should be to send our kids to an environment so they can come home and say that they actually learned something. I know I wouldn’t want my son or daughter to come home and tell me how they were being teased at school. Today is the day we make a change to our schools by enforcing uniforms. So the generations ahead of us can develop better and better.

Assignmen # 9: Alien contact

“Boom, boom, boom”, I heard the door. There was somebody knocking very hard, so I rushed to the door. It was my Neighbor he started screaming “come outside, come outside I think we are getting attacked by aliens!” I jumped into my shoes, ran as fast as I can to my flying car and started fallowing the spaceship. It was a very large ship that looked round from far away, but the closer you got to it the more the shape changed to an oval. I was feeling very frightened, but the years before, my force had done a lot of practice and was ready for anything.

It is October 22, 3001 and the United States is becoming one of the most technologist nations in the universe. I today’s time we have discovered many more planets and many living things in them, but the most dangerous living thing or as we call aliens in the old days is in Lehvill. A planet that is located in another Universe. In today’s time anything is possible. You can teleport, fly, and more. There is only one problem all the other aliens are friendly, but the one’s from Lehvill are very evil. They look exactly like humans and guess what they are evil just like us humans. Two organisms that are so similar cannot tolerate each other, so this is where the war begins.

You may think that by the time of 3001 all the racism will be gone, well you are right. The generation of 2000 to 2100 stepped up and let the world know that all human kind is one. It is not time for us to fight amongst us, but to discover and make this world a better place for everybody. Once they accepted that there were discoveries to people wildest dreams, but now we have discovered Lehvill, Something that we should have probably not done.

So I kept on following the spaceship, but for some reason I couldn’t catch it. It seemed that their technology was much more superior to ours. I called for backup and in two seconds my teammates appeared besides me. Their cars were much faster than mine. They caught up to the spaceship, and the space ship came to a sudden stop. The doors started opening very slowly. Than all of a sudden a group of fast flying cars started flying out of it. It appeared that they had the same technology as us.

Later on I found out that there are multi universes with the same features as the planet earth. They had the same exact things, but the only difference that made them far superior than us was that in their generations, they didn’t have to fight racism, or planet damaging. They didn’t with amongst each other, but worked hard to develop as much things as possible.

Assignment # 12: The Black Cat

People have always said that black cats are evil. Is it just a myth or is there some truth behind it, well that is just something that every individual has to experience. I have been thought to believe that myths are real. It might not be real in a common sense kind of way, but it is real. Why is a harmless creature said to be evil and only when the cat is black?

Hundred, hundred years ago lived an angry old lady. She was known in her village to cure diseases and help cure people that there was no cure. The only weird thing was that everybody that she cured died exactly two years later. So nobody would notice if it was the old lady or just normal death. In that loving village she was the only one that didn’t have any friends or really loved anybody. It was impossible to look directly look into her eyes. It was said to be the prettiest, but also the evilest eyes anybody had ever seen. No one in the village dared to talk to her unless they needed a cure.

This mysterious old lady had this really bad taste. She would always just wear black cloths and never took the time to look nice. The worst part of all, she loved seeing people in pain. One winter day a young girl came to her without any reason. She just wanted to learned a little about the mysterious old lady, but little did she knew the consequences of her stupidity. The old lady didn’t open the door all she said was “come in”. The little girl went inside and walked into spider webs. Getting a little scared she removed the spider web and walked very slowly waiting anxiously of what was awaiting her next. She walked into the first door to her right and saw the old lady tilting back and forth on her chair. The angry eyes of the old lady met the little girl’s eyes. They stared at each other for a minute than the lady said “what do you want?” the little girl stuttering now replayed “umm, umm, I just wanted to learn about you a little.” The old lady gave no response and the next thing you know the girl just falls down. The old lady brutally started to cut her up. First she cut out her eyes, than she started cutting every single finger. Than she put all the body parts together and lit it on fire.

Nobody ever heard of the girl or old lady ever again. But when they went to the old ladies house to investigate, they found the cut up body parts of the little girl and a black cat that looked perfectly fine lying dead besides her. The cat had the same exact eyes as the old lady.

Now you tell me if black cats are evil or if it is just a myth. The story lived on for many centuries. The weird part is that is it us humans that are evil and just trying to symbol it as black cats or are cats really evil. Well I will leave that up to you to decide.

Assignment # 11 The Concrete Rose

One windy day a baby boy was born in the back of the truck in a farm field in the middle of Chile. This was an unwanted baby. When born, the baby was named Jesus. This Baby was born in a family that had no money or food to feed him. When Jesus turned about seven he started working in the fields with his dad. They made just enough money to keep food on their table. But Jesus had big dreams of becoming a doctor which sounded impossible at the time. He loved education, but never really had the chance to go to school. On his tenth birthday his dad died and now surviving felt impossible.

Jesus and his mom decided to move to America so they can at least live a better life. They came to the land of opportunity with big hopes and dreams, but who knew about all the obstacles they were about to fight. It was around spring and time to go to the fields. Jesus had barley started school and was struggling with English and students bullying him at school. They called him many names not just because of his race but because he was a homosexual. This was nothing he imagined America would be like. He thought that they were accepting and caring, but they were none of that.

In a nation were Mexican values are low and even lower if they are a homosexual. Jesus strived towards his goals and tried to achieve them one by one. He started out by really doing well in school and right after that working in the fields with his mom. It still wasn’t enough for them to make a good living. Finally at the age of seventeen he graduated high school and was valedictorian. He was being offered so many scholarships from all around the nation. He and his mom moved to the great city of Philadelphia so Jesus can start his collage over there.

Well obstacles are things to overcome and there was nothing that can stop Jesus from fulfilling his dreams of becoming a doctor. From a little boy that was not wanted, working in the fields, his dad dying, being very poor , and getting bullied at school he was about to prove society wrong and achieve every and anything he had ever dream of.

So if that boy can do something that is almost impossible than why can’t a child at a better position do the same thing? There are times when you are going to face an obstacle like concrete for the flower, or bullying for Jesus, you just have to fight it and prove the whole world wrong so the next time that happens to another person or flower. They will have the courage to go against it. But before any of this can happen you have to believe in yourself and in miracles because anything is possible.

In around the early times humans thought that the planet was flat and that it was impossible to go to the moon. Look at it now, we are laughing at them because of their stupidity. I bet hundred years from now people will be laughing at us.

Assignment # 10: Bullying

Imagine a world that only judged you by the way you look and where you come from. Now imagine the people that did that to you were students that went to the same school as you. You had to face them every school day for all of high school. The sad part is that your teachers or principle wouldn’t do something about it. Well welcome to the world of bullying, racism, and hatred amongst the humankind. Welcome to the place we call home that might or is not even ours. I can still remember the old days when a man was judged by his personality not his race, ethnicity, sexuality, or gender. So why have people changed so much, is it the movies and media that make people think that being a homosexual or another race is a bad thing. If it is that than why are we allowing them to influence us in the wrong way? Right now is the time to step up and change as many things as possible, before it is too late.

Living in the planet earth for fifteen years is long enough for a young man to become an adult and gain enough knowledge to make the right decisions. Well although I have come a long way I am still not sure about how I have faced all the obstacles that I faced. The hardest obstacle for anybody to me is bullying. Since I have been in America I don’t think I have gone two days without somebody making a comment on my race. I was born in an Afghani family and have always wanted a good education, so that brought us to the United States of America where life was suppose to be better for me and my family, but who knew that it would get worse.

I can still remember 9/11 as if it was yesterday and I am pretty sure I will remember that tragedy for the rest of my life. Not because somebody I loved died in it, but that was the turning point and the start of racism. I open my eyes to another beautiful day and ready to go to school and on the way to school it could have been the worst day of my life. As I was walking to school very happy because it was my first day of middle school a group of kids that I knew from elementary came in front of me. There were four of them. They were all at least two hundred pounds or more. At first I thought they were just going to go past me. Then all of a sudden one of them trips me and a fall face first onto the pavement. I stayed down for a while and before you knew it they started to kick me. They kick me in every single part if my body from head to feet. I had my hands over my head trying to protect myself, but I guess that was not enough. From opening my eyes to a beautiful day I opened my eyes to sight of horror. Lost and very confused I tried moving but I couldn’t move any part of my body.

I toke a glance around me to see and ask for help, but nobody there to rescue me from the terror of bullying. I looked again and I saw an adult that kind of looked like a teacher. I screamed “help, help, help me please”, but in a fast response she replied “fuck you, you Afghani fuck! You deserve everything that is happening to you, because of you my son had to go to war.” The thought of somebody helping me had died and now I have noticed that nobody was going to help me. The guys were finally done and leaving me in pain. They walked away I to myself I thought that it was all over I at least didn’t die, but it wasn’t over. One of the guys turned back around and spit on me and suddenly I woke up. I heard “Samir, Samir, wake up baby. We are almost in America.” Feeling very excited that it was just a dream; I picked up a pencil and wrote about it.

The nightmare that I had is now happening to homosexuals. They are getting bullied and picked on just because they like the same sex which is just wrong. I never thought my nightmare would turn into reality, but it did. In this world everybody is selfish, but the real question is how far they are going to take it. Everybody needs to take a minute and think that it just doesn’t matter what you think it matters what everybody thinks. If a guy wants to like another guy than let it be instead of making life miserable for them.
