Poem: Gunshots

Gunshots

Gun shots are going off down the street
I ran down the street with my Gun
to see what had happened.

My friend was holding someone and
when I got closer
I saw that it was his girlfriend.

He was bloody for holding her
We was all sad because she was your friend
I was calming him down because he wanted to seek revenge

She looked nice but now she is gone
Three days later we put her to rest.
Me and my friends stayed with him
so he didn’t go seek revenge.

Poem: My Love Jane

“My love Jane”

I woke up one day with nada to do,

So I got out my note book and started writing about you.

I love this girl her last name is Jane,

I love her so much she’s always in my brain.

She gots me flying high like a freaking plain.

When I step outside late at night she gives me a kiss and I could feel it inside.

When I think about you I go crazy

When I hang out with you all I get lazy.

I love my girl Jane,

And to prove my love I’ll even get tatted up your name.

My love Jane.

Poem: Freedom

Freedom

Freedom is the condition of being free

Freedom is the board beneath your feet,

The sand between your toes,

Freedom is voting,

Watching the sunset,

Sticking your head out the window feeling the breeze,

Freedom is sitting on your best horse,

Looking at nature, relaxing

What’s your freedom?

Poem: Gun

Gun

The feel of the cold metal on my side sends shivers up my spine.
Will I take someone else’s life or will I just risk mine.
Is it the fear of life or just the fear of death?
Who am I to decide the fate of a man’s life?
Who is he to decide mine?
As I stare down the barrel I thick?
Who am I?
What have I done?

Poem: Love?

“Love?”

At times love could hold you back
like your in a cell with cold metal bars
holding you back from your freedom and dreams

you feel like leaving
but you don’t want to break another heart
that loves you passionately,

I can’t figure out what to say,
cause I love to do things
that she won’t let me do

so I’m asking you to give back my freedoms
cause I still got my dreams
and I’ll always love you

Poem: Peace

What is peace?

Peace is old. Peace is new

Peace is love peace is hate

Peace is clean. Peace is green

Peace is you. peace is me

Peace is the time. Peace is mine

Peace. Is a way of life.

Peace is a way of death

Peace is fake peace is real

All around the world peace

Peace everywhere.

Poem: Life

Life

Life is like a hard game
no one can’t get through life with out getting into trouble
sometimes it’s about love
and being with someone who you love and who is good for
you and who will be
there for you and not leave you behind them and
sometimes life is about fighting a against the law
with some people and it’s about being with their family and friends
and life is about making the right choice
to get through life if now what to do in life.
Home girl and home boy

Poem: What I love of you

What I love of you

I love your lips and your beautiful eyes.
I love your voice,
I like the way you smile.
I love the way you are,
you’re the best girl I have ever met!
I don’t know you that well.
But seems the first day I met you,
I can’t stop thinking and dreaming of you!
And when I first saw you,
I said to myself wow
this is my angel
you are my baby girl!
I like the way you dress
I love you, you’re the best
I love the way you talk to me well sometimes,
and I love the fact that we look at each other,
and then we smile at each other after words.
I like your hair, and I love your beautiful soft skin.
But the most of all, is the you I see every day!

Poem: Rotted Corps

ROTTED CORPS

There were rotted bones
Skulls not toads, dead people
With pointed teeth gone for ever
With their chicken liver, bone of death
With some pointed claws not paws, weirded
Eyes with disaster of faith posters of death not
Living rotting corps smoked corps like smoking some
Ports.

Poem: The Goat and His Boat

The goat and his boat

There once was a goat that had a boat
Then one day he saw a cat
He asked the cat do you want to ride in my boat
The cat said only if you play with me and Mr. Bat.
So off they went into the sea
Then they saw a shark that likes to bark.
The shark said hi my name’s Mr. Dee
Then a huge wave hit
They all went overboard
And then Dee ate all of them.

Poem: Live, Love, Laugh

LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH

You are living.

Poem: Letters to Prison

Letters to Prison

I don’t want to write you.
I don’t know what to say.
You’re a loser.
I’m so disappointed in you.

I can’t write that.

What he wants to hear is:
I believe in you.
Which I don’t.
Everything will be fine.
Which it won’t.

You will never be okay.
How can I write that?
I can’t, so I won’t.

Sometimes we want to hear the lies.
Sometimes we don’t want the truth.

So, I’ll write:

Dear Jesse,

I don’t know what to say.

~Lesli

But, that is still a lie.

ABC Autobiography

Bb - Betrayal
There are so many things that can happen in betrayal. In the case that I am talking about is the betrayal of a best friend. It was last summer the start of it that I was betrayed by my best friend his name was Jeff. He betrayed me by saying something I didn’t do. He told the security at my old school that I threaten to kill him and his family. I think it funny that he would betray someone who has kept him from getting in a lot of trouble with his girlfriends. I told his 6 girlfriend that he was with me when he was with of the other girls. This all started when I was talking to my ex-girlfriend about a problem we where having with something that I was doing. He butted in and I told him to “leave so I can talk to her” and he did so I told him would you please go by the tree then and he did when my ex-girlfriend told him “I will be fine” I gees the way I said it must have offended him because he raised a fist at me. After I talk to her he told the security that I threaten him and pulled a knife on him. That not a real friend if you ask me he just betrayed me by saying thing I never did and by dating my ex-girlfriend will I was in DT. Oh did I mention that he was the one that sent me to DT.

I never understood the morning process. Why would you morn someone that is dead. There is nothing that you can do to change that. Me I never did that I just remembered them by the memories that I have of them.

The way I see it is if someone is dead then that person would not want you to morn over them just to remember them.

“Mornings seemed mysterious gifts” pg 33 Whirligig

I think that Brent needs to make restitution in the morning and be more productive.

I personally love this quote because it can mean anything that you pretty much want. Yes, the mornings always lead my day a good way. I think that in the morning you are more aware of your surroundings.
I am an early bird ,I love to wake up early and explore new things when nobody is around. I believe that when the sun comes up its time to get up and work but I hate wasting time laying around.

Quote:
The quote for this chapter is that you got the whole control of your life I mean full control of your life.

How does the quote relate to the book?
Brent is so use to getting told what to do. He has people telling him what to do and what to be like. He is so use to worrying about what people think about him.

Why did you chose this quote? How does this quote relate to you?
Because I learned when I was locked up I decided what to do or not. If I wanted to fight I do I had control of what I wanted to do.

‘Rest gives strength activities’. Page 84 the whirligig


I think this relates to the book in a very big way. I think what they were trying to say was some times you just need to start over and take a rest. Like how Brent needs to just take a breath and a nap for a day or two and then when he is done he well be better at making whirligigs.

I personally love this quote. I think it means a lot like if you are trying to do something over and over again but you just cant to it all you got to do is take a break and meditate. And then when you are done you should be able to do it like that.

He realized he needed a punishment. Page 37

I choose this quote because
It relates to me because I know when I mess up and I realize it I’m just like him I would like a punishment.
I hella agree with it because how like I said everybody that messes up or does something illegal for the law should get a punishment.

There are consequences for our acts. My boy. Page 7
Yea their always consequences for everything you do it could be the most little thing ever but if someone takes it bad their goanna be consequences.
And it relates to me because every time I do something stupid I always get the consequences after so yea.

You Have Control over Your Life pg. 18 chapter: Party Time

I chose this quote because, I think its true, I mean if you don’t control what you do, or at least try to, then you’re always going to be getting in trouble or doing things your not suppose to. So when you start to think about bad things, then sit there and think positive, or good things. This quote relates to the book when Brent killed that girl (Lea Rosalia Santos Zamora). If he wouldn’t have been drinking that night, and he would have been on all his six senses, then nothing would have happened. Now he has that guilt in him. So if people think before they act it would be a good thing for them, and people around them. This quote relates to me because, I in the past have acted before thinking, I’ve let my thoughts control me.

Quote

“People live in groups. Groups argue. If the people in the group all get along, everybody will be happy, and they will live in peace.” Whirligig, page 62


Relations

This quote relates to Floco’s life because he comes from a quiet place. Then he moved to the U.S. and now all his family is in one house and it’s very rowdy. Floco is a very peaceful person and he realizes the quote after he sees the whirligig and realizes that if you work together, there will be harmony.



My comments

I find this quote to be very true. My own family is very loud and sometimes you just need a break. I myself take a walk or a bike ride. Whatever works is good, but sometimes you just have to cope with it.

“A nervous energy whipped back and forth inside him”.
Whirligig, page #3

I’m a nervous person when a moment comes to me that I don’t like. I hate having those moments because they just put me in a place where I’m just scared of doing or saying something wrong. I have been in lots of moments like this. Just recently I had a moment where I get scared and I said something wrong at the wrong time.

I had chosen this quote because it had a moment of thinking to me. I agree with this quote because I get nervous almost all the time. It relates to me because I have moments in my life all the time.

“Rest gives strength to activities.”
WHIRLIGIG Page #84

It was told to the mother of the kid that this chapter is about after she heard this Chinese proverb she did not push her kid as much as she used to. The way that she changed was she did not expect him to play the violin. She even let him quit playing the violin which he was happy about because he did not like playing it. The family seams to be prejudiced to me because they expect more from him then his sister. He was Korean and she was pure American strait from Kansas.

I chose this quote because I know that you can’t get anywhere in life without applying your self to any activity/work. I agree with this quote if you don’t get sleep them you can’t apply your self to the activity/work that you are doing. This quote relates to me because I now that if I don’t get sleep them I can’t do what is expected of me.

Well let me tell you something hope I can change your mind to start eating more at subway because subway is way better good taste long sandwich and you could even choose your own toppings on it and you not eating as much calories like at McDonald and not just that you are even eating good and healthy. Your eating your vegetables so I freaking love it way better because you eat good and healthy and not unhealthy. So start eating more at subway and eat way less calories.

I think well I don’t think I actually know that subway is way better than McDonald’s because it has one of the best freaking I mean best taste flavor is the bomb. The taste is so good and not just that is good is baked and made fresh every single day so I love it like a fat kid like my self love’s cake.. when something is made fresh that’s what makes it way better I mean god its just the best it’s a big fat wow baked and fresh everyday. So I rather subway than McDonald’s.

Your not just eating good taste you are eating healthy to because your eating so many freaking less calories and not just all fat grease. Oh and guess what ells your eating you might not know but guess what a lot of people don’t know this and they say they hate vegetables but what they don’t know is that they are eating all does vegetables and guess another thing.

Persuasive Paper

Dear Kids,

What’s your favorite fast food place to eat? Because mine is Mc. Donald’s it’s the best food place in the world that I love to eat at. The first reason why it’s the best it’s because it’s cheap. They have healthy choices, and they have great tasting food. When I go to McDonalds its just like wow! I know that if I come here I already know that Ill get full because the food can fill me up.

My first reason why McDonalds is is better than Subway is because they have choices and verities. McDonald’s foods taste really good. They have varieties of great tastings of desserts. They have hot morning breakfasts. The verities are good with the desserts because with out a dessert the food is just awkward. When you have dessert on the side it just makes it better.

My second reason why McDonalds is better then eating at Subway is because they have cheap food. McDonalds have a dollar menu that you can buy cheap food from. They have a combo menu with great taste. The combos are the best because they come with a large or medium drink and a large fry’s. The cheap is great because they are big and have a pretty good low price and the food is still great.

My third reason why MC Donald’s is better then Subway is because they have healthy choices. McDonalds have healthy salads from the menu. They have healthy yogurt from the dollar menu. Mc. Donald’s has healthy Chicken sandwiches. There are lots of choices that you can pick from the dollar menu. There is spicy chicken, Pies with Cherry and apple.

You should put this in mind and some action because this is a popular place to eat. If you don’t eat here you are not in the McDonalds club. This place is the best and I promise you that it is a great place to eat. I will make sure that you want regret it. I recommend you to get a Big Mac combo it is juicy. This not just a place that you come to eat. You have fun the kids can play on the play ground.

The Old Times - Personal Narrative

Well I was doing all of this I was not thinking of what can happen or what I was doing there for it was not that good of a choice. What would you do if you were in my shoes? I thought that I could get in a lot of trouble but I didn’t care, plus it help me with dirt bike and biking all the time and I was not afraid to do any thing I just thought it was fun and that I could be better at it.

But I didn’t know that it could hurt me in any. Because I was in denial about the whole thing that is why I won’t to rehab so that I could do better and do some thing with my life. So that I would go home and find a job, to be with my horses, and take care of my self, and does really good, Stay clean and try to get good grades.

This one time I was out in the woods and it was drake and all you could here is the water running off the cliffs. I was with a girl and it was cool, I ask her if she wanted to smoke some weed and do some mushrooms and so we did some. It was at late eight and my friend ate eight to and because mushrooms take a long time to kick in we started to do some weed. I had seven grams some that was a lot and it was a trip because we started to see thing that was not here like I saw a green goon that had a sword and I thing in his other hand but you really could tell what it was but it was pretty cool stuff because we was up one the cliff and I started to see water at the bottom of the cliff so I thought about going swimming in the rive but there was not water to go swimming in and I was about to jump and than my friend grabbed me that I could not jump. That’s what happen to the last bet of it. It my experiment in the hole thing and that is why I’m permafried to this day.

I got locked up for doing all of this and I got out and I just keep doing it all the time in and out so after a while the judge got tried of seeing me in his court room so he put me in foster care. I thought it was going to be doing the same thing that I was always going but it turned out that if I did it a gain that I was going to jail and I didn’t wasn’t to go there so I had to chose to go to rehab so I chose to go to rehab to get me off of all the drugs that I was doing. But the thing that sucks the most is that I would ever be normal and I would ever be able to bike the same ever again that that was not cool to be locked up.

So now I’m stuck up and I can’t wait to go back to St. George because that is were all my friends are and I only got a year left.

One Day - Personal Narrative

‘’What’s up homie’’ is what it started that day. It was a wonderful day that morning. I went to my homies house as I usually did. I remember I was just seven years old and my homies all ten and older. I remember always being the youngest one that kicked it in the group. I remember it was one of my friends cousins birthday and we were celebrating it. We were all playing out side and they were all drinking, I didn’t drink because I didn’t like drinking at the time.

It was all firme and all entail my life changed forever. We were kicking back eating carne asada there were people having there little groups having there own little conversations. We thought nothing could stop that firme sunny day. It was a dream anybody can think of, kicking back on a Saturday afternoon, no problems already the sun was going down and no one got hit up.

It was the best Saturday yet. We were all hanging out side in the back, my friend’s dad was hanging out in the front fixing his rafla. He was there with all the older homies, entail we herd a loud noise coming from the front , so that’s when we all ran out front to see what the noise was. That’s when we saw my homies dad laying on the floor. After that all I remember everyone screaming and everyone shooting all over the place. We thought they weren’t coming back entail we saw those fools bust a turn and speed our way. That’s when my homie pushed me off the way so I wouldn’t get hurt. That’s when I herd a big blast that got me pretty deaf for a wile and looked up and saw my homie blasting and crying.

That turn out to be the worst day I ever experience in my life. That changed my life after that, I’ve never been the same since then. It changed me because It showed me the life of violence and my enemies. That is something that ill never forget.

In the System - Personal Narrative

In the system

I got into trouble for stealing a car with a friend, my brothers girlfriend. There’s an RHR car parking lot dealer ship place by her house right next to her house. And we were hanging out for a while. And we just got some weed and candy plus snacks. And then we smoked half an ounce and we got bored and jumped the
RHR fence and jumped in some cars to try and start the cars and none of the cars would start and we got mad and hit the cars because they would not start. Than finally we tried a red ranchero to so we tried it but it would not start either. So finally we tried a neon sport and than yes it started so we stole it and drove it.

One time I was with my friends in the woods and he and them had some shrooms and we ate the shrooms and we started to smoke some cigarettes, and then I looked to my left and I saw a clown hold a chainsaw while the blade was moving. This was when we were tripping on the shrooms. And we started to run and run around some kind of neighbor hood and kind of scared and some people were watchi9ng us run and looking back at where we were running from. So we stopped at the store to get something to eat and leave the store. So I am scared of clowns for real no joke so we were on our way to my Friends house and we found the clowns again and we booked it with our drinks and snacks. So I ran and we separated to shortcuts to my Friends house. I saw a box because one was really close to me and I got in the box to hide eating and drinking my drink.


And what I learned from these stories from getting caught was don’t do shrooms, and don’t steal cars. And I turned to a better person by not doing Shrooms and not stealing cars, car hoping, taking things from cars ,and takings I pods from cars. And to do better and listen to my parents a lot better. Because when I used to not listen to my parents before I did a lot worse things than this. And I am doing a lot better now I was sin foster care for about almost five months. Than I messed up in there and then I got kicked out. I went to detention and than I went to genesis for five months. And now I am home and then I went to come here for School, and now I had a court review date and now I have court on October 6ixth.hopely I will get out.

I did all of this information do tell others, well say that I did a lot of bad stuff and say that doing all of this stuff is not good for anybody. And that I did regret doing this entire if you’re even wondering. I was a good kid when I moved to Provo and even way before from Spanish fork. And when I moved from Spanish fork I got caught up in some troubled friends and the ones that pressured me to do bad things. So am just typing so say what I did and all of the stuff I learned from doing all of it to. I learned a lot from it.

Memories - Personal Narrative

“Hey Trent dinner is ready!” I come running downstairs to get my delicious stir fry. It’s my favorite. When I got all my food and drink situated I go in to my living room and fold out the couch bed and turn on the TV and my Xbox 360 to play some halo on Xbox live. When I got comfortable my little dog Hunter jumped up and settled in with me. I’m Kicking butt in halo.

As time passes I finally doze off. I wake up to my dad telling me that I need to get ready for my soccer game. I jump out of bed and rush up stairs. I’m looking every where for my uniform. I found it. I get ready and it’s now about time to get over to the park. I go back downstairs and fold up the couch.

My dad and I drive over to Roy West Park. I instantly bounced out of my car and sprint to the field to join up with my team so I can warm up. My coach tells me and my team to start jogging in the eighteen. So we start doing so. The whistle eventually blows. We all run to the side line to get our positions to find out where we will start. I hurry and stretch then sprint to my position. I’m forward so I can score. The whistle blows again.

We kick off. My Friends is dribbling up the field and passes it to another teammate. I hurry to the goal, he crosses the ball. I leap into the air, I knock the ball in with a header. Crowd goes wild. I run back to the kick off point to meat my team patting me on the back. The score is now 1 to nothing. The game goes on like this tell the last five minutes or so. All of us are exhausted. We get the ball and we are going towards the goal to score one more time. Through ball is kicked, me and the other forward sprint after it. My team mate gets the ball in the eighteen and got to shoot it.

The other team trips him. Whistle blows, we get a pk. He shoots and scores. The other team kicks off and they rush to get a goal. We hold them off and whistle blows three times. Game over. We win and shake the other team’s hands. We also do so with the referees. My dad and I pack up and go back home.

When we get back I run inside to find my dog. She is nowhere to be found. My family and I start looking for her. I go up stairs and hear my dad yell my name. I come to the edge of the stairs and there was my dad with the couch bed unfolded. My dog was lying there not moving. She was sleeping under the blankets and I didn’t see her when I folded up the bed, I said to my dad. I started crying saying that it was my fault. I go to my room and clear my head but I can’t stop crying. I eventually cried myself to sleep and wake up the next day. I remember what happen and I miss her to this day.

My Old Life - Personal Narrative

Hey, have you guys ever had something bad happen in your life? Well I have. There I leaving school again this has been the 6th time and I wasn’t leaving to go home I was leaving to go smoke some weed with all my friends and I couldn’t be found my friends at school were looking for me and I was no where to be found.

Until after school hours and I would show up out of any where and all my friends asked where you’ve been we were looking for you and I would say out some where doing thing I shouldn’t be doing. Then, I would never go home then my phone would ring and it was my mom then I would answer it and my mom would ask where in the hell are you and I always told her it’s none of your business and hang up. I wouldn’t go home tell mid night I was never home and always high. Then I would go home and fall asleep. Next thing I know I wake up and its Saturday morning and my mom was screaming at me and say I was grounded and I said hell no and walked out of the door and slammed it and then I called my friend Carol and asked if she wanted to hang out and she said ya so then I got on the U.T.A bus and road it to her house. Then I got to her house and then me and her went and got blazed out and I was tripping really badly and I had the munchies and cotton mouth and then I went back home and my little brother asked me what in the hell am I doing and I guess that triggered something in my brain. Then I straitened up my life and now I have been off pot for 10 months!!!!

What did I learn from this experience is that you don’t need drugs to keep you motivated in life and you are smart without them and I never even think of doing that stuff again and I love every thing and I am a new person without that stupid stuff.

Personal Narrative

Tick tick. I remember waking up in the hospital with blood on my face. My friend was standing next to. All I no was that I and he were sending cars down a metal pipe.

I and he were sending a monster truck down. It got stuck in the middle of the pipe so he picked up the pipe and it hit the side of my head and I fell of the side of the slide. He said that when I got hit in the head and it knocked me off of the side. When I hit the ground I hit my head on side of the sand-box and it knocked me out. I think that is what messed up my sight in my left eye. I think we learned not to send cars down a pipe. I was going to get stitches instead I got it glued back together.

About five years later I moved to Centerville I lived there for two years then we moved again. The second time we moved we moved to Kaysvile.

From the day we moved we had problems with injuries.

The last time I went to the hospital was 8-14-2009.

My mom and dad told me that it was not my fault or my friend that it was not our fault that this happened to me. I told that I had the idea of sending the cars down the pipe. The people in the hospital asked me questions like did our parents do this to you I told them no. Then they ask me if my friend had physically got in a fight or abused me so I told them that we were sending cars down a pipe and one car got stuck and he lifted the pipe up and it hit me in the head. I told them that’s all I could remember from the incident.
My dad wanted me to get the extra glue off my eye lashes.

At this time I was in kindergarten. So me and my parents took me back to the hospital. We got the rest the glue removed off of my eyelashes about two weeks later my eyelashes grew all the way back.

The conclusion to my paper is that you never want to send toy cars down a big conduit pipe. But if you do be on alert that if you get hurt it is your own fault. I think I’ve leaned my lesson and I will not mess around with pipes again. The bad thing is that I am addicted to weapons and I use conduit pipes as swords I have gotten close to hitting people with the pipes. I almost hit my friend with it. He and I put foam around the pipe. So we could make it not hurt when it hit you. I will never send cars down a conduit pipe.

This is all that happened.

Personal Narrative

Click the door from Pats office opened with a click and a squeak. When she came out and said “I have all your paroling papers done”. Then ever one went to go check that was going, when I saw my name on there I was happy to finally see that. When I got pulled aside by my advocate she told me that I was going home, I gave her a big huge so hard I felt her bones pop! I was so happy to finally get what I want for so long. I felt like their was a quick vibe rushing past my body like every thing fell out of place. After all my happiness fades away I went back to being normal. That day on August, 28, 2009. Was the longest day of my life? The seconds felt like minutes the minuets like hours and the hours like days.

When tomorrow finally came I felt great. Even when we were at school it felt like a breeze. All the teachers were happy for me. Then when we were finally done with all the schooling, we were on the unit. Having free time kids just kicking it hanging around. It was August 29, 2009 on a Saturday 2 days from going home. I would just day dream of the day when all the homies were going to kick it agene. When night time finally came I read and slept well.

When I woke up my eyes were blurry like as if I were crying. Today was the day I got to call my family. Time was ticking and I was egger to call home, when time finally came I called. My palm was sweating from happiness. When I dialed the number I hear ring, ring hello. The voice on the other side of the phone had a sad voice. It was my brother Alex. When I asked what was wrong, he said you know the homies Manuel, Hogi, Mauro. I said yea what’s up. I felt a bad felling in my chest. He sad they got in a car crash and pass away. I got a crappy felling in my stomach. I wanted to cry so badly but I held it in. I and my brother were just reminisced about all the good times we had. When my call was over I went into my cell and cried all day. I didn’t even care a bout leaving anymore.

Night time was endless like the tears on my face. When morning came I looked like crap but I didn’t care. Every one felt sad for me but I didn’t care. Even when I read it on the news paper I felt like dyeing with my homies. All I wanted to be go in my cell and cry. I didn’t even remember that day because I didn’t know what to think. The next day on September 1, 2009 was the day I was getting out. When they let me out I didn’t know what to feel.

When I got home I saw my family and was great full to have them. Then I walked to the kick it spot. I thought of all the good memories that we had. From getting drunk to shooting hoops.

When I was done thinking of those memories I went home and slept. The next day was my homies funeral. My brother got to come that day. When we were at the funeral every one was sad and crying. I never thought my homies would go so young. That’s when reality hit me.

Personal Narrative

I was just a little G growing up. I loved being a gangster, living the crazy life, smoking dope all night all day. Life didn’t mean anything to me. Dope was my life.
One night, I was kicking it with my homeboy Jose. I was smoking like any other day. Something went wrong, we end up having sex. I felt like a bad person, but at the same time I didn’t care.

Who knew that god was going to send me a little peace of heaven to take hell away? That’s right at 14, I got pregnant. I had my baby three months after I turned 15. This made me feel special, you know like if I was some one, I am a mom.

This changed my life. I love my son more than any thing in this world, so I had to make some changes. Instead of spending money on dope I spent money on my son, a.k.a. Chuky or Angel.

I learned that when you chose to be a grown-up you have to be one for the rest of your life. No more party’s, no more drugs, and no more fights. Having my baby really changed my life. Today I am a changed girl or should I say lady.

I’m going to keep it this way. I am going to make it. It is going to be hard, because I still have meth on my mind. I sometimes feel like trash because, you know, I still want to use. This is not my son’s fault to have a crazy mom like me. I barely got out of drug treatment. I have been clean awhile now and I am going to keep it that way for Chuky. For now on I am going to stay true to my self.

Personal Narrative

(Jonathan did not finish his narrative)

Does Armpit have integrity?

Yes he does because he is a nice, sweet friend. Someone you can look up to. When you’re down he’s the one you want to talk to. Here are some examples that I can tell you, when Ginny was having a seizer he was there to help her even when he was in hand cuffs he was still trying to help her. When he was with Keira he loved her and he saved her life and was a hero. When he got back from camp green lake he looked up to Ginny she was there to help better his life.

Does Armpit have integrity?

Does armpit have integrity yes and no because no is he lied about where he really got the tickets and how he got the tickets. He lied to the detective and he said he dose not know x-ray or heard the name before. And every time detective Newberg called armpit he lied to her about everything. And he has integrity because he is not afraid to show people how he feels about anything. He shows that he cares and the meaning im trying to say is that armpit has integrity by showing he’s not scared and that’s what I say.

Does Armpit have integrity?

I think that Armpit can be true to people if he knows that they can be true to him. But he can also do them wrong like you know that he wont rat on any body like on his book he just kept telling them a different story about how he got the ticks. But he’ll crake sooner or latter if he doesn’t have anything else to say about how he got his ticks then he’ll maybe tell them what happened but if he does he’ll blame it on him self he wouldn’t rat on anybody else but him self.

Integrity

What does Integrity mean to me? Well Integrity means that you have a lot of respect, That you take responsibility. Integrity also means that you stand up for what is right an help other people in need. One time in my life I showed Integrity by, respecting my family and taking responsibility for my actions I some times help others in need. And that’s what Integrity means to me, but it also means a lot of stuff to other people, Integrity can mean a lot to people most important you have to show that you have Integrity so that you can have people trust you.

Does Armpit have integrity?

I do think that armpit has integrity at times. But when he is around X Ray he acts different with him. When he’s with others people he has integrity.
Its’ purser with him.

And some time X Ray has integrity but he don’t show it to Armpit and. X Ray don’t all the time show

Does Armpit have integrity?

No armpit does not have Integrity. The reason I say that is cause when he was suppose to be completing his goals he was not focusing and spending his time with a girl that he didn’t get any were with if he had integrity he would tell her he had things to do his big goal was to pass that test an instead of fallowing his goal he messed up an went with her.

Does Armpit have integrity?

I think thank that Armpit has integrity, because he shows everyone that he cares about people and that even thou he is big he is a wimp on the inside. In the book he tills the truth about most things and doesn’t let people down. He stands up for people for when they can’t defend for themselves and helps people along the way. Armpit is an example everyone should look at, so they can help others and have integrity like him. I know that I will learn form this book and us it in my life. I will show that I have integrity like Armpit.

Does Armpit have integrity?

I think that he some in some way. But at the same time he doesn’t tell the truth to the cops. Its bad when you know the truth and then you get caught. But I think that its good that armpit didn’t snitch out his homie. I think that when you get caught from a snitch it sucks because there was a reason you didn’t get caught up. I remember when Armpit used integrity when he told Kaira about the letter. So he does use it in my eyes. He also used it when he talked to Ginny in general so that’s good to do. That’s what I think that he does use it when he wants to or needs to.

Does Armpit have integrity?

Armpit is a person that’s strong and big but that does not stop him from having integrity. Armpit is a person that has integrity because he is trusted and shows others that he can be a great person to everyone. I think he has integrity because he has learned a lot being around his friend X-Ray for a long time. Armpit has learned from Camp Green Lake as well for a long time from digging holes. I think Armpit has integrity because he shows it a lot when he is around Ginny. Even when he was trying to save Ginny by helping her when having a seizure.

With my friends I go play sports, then with some I go do drugs and I know that’s not good. That’s the way it’s with me because I know so many people in the city that I live in. At times I wish I could just stick to one thing but I just can’t . I love to hang with the homies and kick it with girls. I also like playing sports but I don’t know. I want to play sports but do the things that I’ve done with my friends like tagging, fighting, and parties.

Divorce

I agree with divorce, but then I don’t. Before you get married just make sure that he is the right one for you and make sure that they don’t change because you want the same person when you met them not some one you don’t know. If you are already married and you don’t like that person any more then you have to do what is best for you. But if you know what to look for in a relationship and you know the guy really good I bet you will grow old together, so just watch for signs and you will find the right guy.

If you could take back one thing in the past what would it be? If I can take back one thing from the past it would be to take back me first starting to get into trouble. Because it’s one thing I wouldn’t have to think of, well have something to think about from my past and it would be better on my record. But if I was not here what else would there be where would I be if I was not here. And I would not be in the journey groups or anything like that you know.

A Love Letter

Baby I love. You I just wanted to start with saying that I love you with all my heart and that I wish and hope that we can be together for all the rest of our lives. I miss you so much and I won’t to just see your beautiful face. When I spend time with you I love it the way my heart just starts to melt and starts pounding really. Really hard. You’re the one. You make me fill so special and that’s why I love you. I the way you touch me. I love the way you whisper in my ear. I love it when we go out to the movies and lots of dates. That’s how I get to know you a lot more.

Have you very been to concert? Describe it.

No but if I could I would want to see Kotton mouth kings. Kotton mouth kings are the people to see but I don’t think you could see them in Utah because of all the things they do are not good in Utah. And if they could it would go cool but of all of the stuff they do it ant going to happen. But I think they have been to Salt Lake City twice that I think that I remember but that was a long time a go because the they every thing is happening all the time and the way the economy is.

I Believe

Do I believe on signs from God? Yea, I do. I believe on it because I have been through so much. I been through sad, bad, scary, all kind of types and every time that happens I pray. And every time I do I pray for my family, friends, and for myself. Especially for my mama and my nieces and 2 brothers and 1 sister. In total we are 7. Those 7 are the most important to me in this life. I wouldn’t know what to do without them. Especially without does evil little girls. And every time something bad happens to them or myself it makes me realize a lots of stuff and it always pushes me further with my life so that’s a sign to me. Once we where all at my house and I was inside with my wife we where playing monopoly. Next thing I hear is my sister and my sister-in-law crying out loud. My mom was tripping out, so I ran outside with my dad’s shotgun and I saw my brother on his knees and everybody yelling “lets go” and he wouldn’t listen. He had my niece dead in his arms. So I looked at him and yelled at him and told him let’s go to the hospital and he only listened to me. And when we were on our way she came back to life and I believe that was a sign from God that He returned her back to us. So yea I do believe on it and I’m grateful she is still with us because without her in my life I don’t know what we all would have done without her. I love my baby girl, Sophie, and glad she still with us.

The things I do with my friends is just hang out. I like to go to the mall and hang out whit some home girls. If not we try to find some girls to hang out with us. The other things I do with my friends is we like to play some hand ball when we have time. Well I got accused for a gang shooting last year. I felt mad because they say they an eye witness saying they saw me doing the whole actions. The only reason why I’m here is because of that and if that did not happen then I could have been home right now. I always think of how it would have turned out if that never happen. Well I guess things happen for a reason.

Have I ever been threatened, yeah a couple of times. Why because people just want to take me out simple as that cause I’m always hitting them up in the streets non stop. And for that they want to get me back but they can’t touch me.

If I could meet a favorite sports hero who would it be it wouldn’t be nobody. I don’t have a favorite sports hero.

My first kiss I don’t remember my first kiss I was too young.

I would go to India or Venice, Italy. I would go to India because of the Taj Mahal to see what a king made for his beloved wife who he loved so much that he built a palace just for his wife to be buried and out of gold and jewels that’s love, but Venice just because its known as the city of romance and love I would love to go there one day and see really how romantic it is or ride on the channel of romance.

I would be sad that I could not talk. It would suck so badly because I could not talk to my family or friends. If I was at school and could not talk to anyone and I would feel dumb too for not being able to talk. If I need some thing get paper write on that what I want it would be way hard you most likely could not get a job. It would be bad in a lot of ways. I would have to find a way to talk to other so how. I it would be hard to talk to my mom.

If I where to go any where it would be Mexico, because it’s warm there and I have a lot of family there. Last time I was there it was fun playing soccer, cards, and rides my bike. I was impressed when I saw how well they where at soccer over there. Another good thing is the pools, because it’s always hot out there so it’s always good to go for a swim. Once you get to know people over there you will always have fun. The place I was at was called Guadalajara, where something’s always up. They also have a lot of snakes, and if you don’t watch out you will get bit so you always have to be on the look out. That’s where I would go.

Dear Levi



How are you doing? I’m doing well and hope you are as well. I hope you are minding your parents and hope that my brother is being the brother that is respectful and loving to others like I am here.

I am very disappointed in myself that I’m not there to go to high school with you. I know that we would have a blast with school and girls. Remember to treat girls with respect and love them for who they are.

Well I’m doing good and am doing great in high school. Summit is a great school to go to. It helps me get caught up on my grades and it puts a positive feeling that I will graduate.

I hope you are doing the best you can with your life and hope to see you soon.



Your brother,

Jake

Dear Mom & Dad,

If I had to take back anything I ever told or done to hurt you I would have say that I’m sorry for the pain I put you through and if I could take it all back I would, but it’s too late now. All I can say is that I’m sorry and forgive me. Some days I wish I could back in time and show everyone that I wasn’t just some person that likes to beat people up and write on walls, but what is done is done.

X-Ray

Well I don’t think that it was cool that X-Ray did that to his friend because you got to be there for when they need them the most then letting them down the wrong way specially some fake tickets. If I had a friend like that I wouldn’t give them fake tickets. I don’t think that’s a good friend. He is always showing up late, he is always telling him lies. X-ray is always barrowing money from him and not paying him back. He would pick money over his friend Armpit and that’s not a good friend.

X-Ray

I think that X-Ray is the wrong person to hang out with Armpit because Armpit is a good person and X-Ray is a person to get you in trouble for every thing that he wants to. So that is why I think Armpit needs some more friends that will keep him out of trouble and I think he is going to do that. I think he should get some new friends and if he doesn’t want to he might get in trouble for what is going to happen to him. Because he wanted to go to a concert and almost got arrested because he had counterfeit tickets.

X-Ray

No I don’t think X-ray is a good friend because he is always making Armpit pay for every thing. He gave him and Ginny fake tickets and made them get into trouble. X-ray is a fake friend. He is just using Armpit. I think Armpit should get rid of him, it might better his life. If I had a friend like that I would do that, I don’t like getting used. Armpit is a good guy and he should stand up for himself before he loses a friend. He loves like Ginny a friend needs to be there for you not against you.

X-Ray

Yes I do think X- ray is a good friend to Armpit because he is not that rude to Armpit. He could be rude to Armpit but he is kind of bossy and selfish. What I mean it by selfish he tries to scam him for money. He could be nice to him if he wanted to. And he could choose to do the things Armpit would want him to treat. But I do think he is a good friend to Armpit but all he needs is to be nice to him and to treat him with respect.

Word Choice: Describe the messiest room in your house

The room that is the least clean in my house is probably my sisters and her hubby’s. Because they are always at work and they don’t really have time to be cleaning up like all the time. But other than that the other one is my room which is the living room. And the only reason it is like that is because my niece goes to my house a lot so she throws everything and we have her toys right where she could get them. So she be making a disaster, but after words I clean it and if I don’t my mom usually cleans it up but usually I clean up the living room. But I not tripping. I’ll clean it up as many times she’ll come by because I love her.

Good or Bad Friend

I think that X-Ray is a bad friend. Why, because he took the money from Armpit and he didn’t respected the fact it was his and he wanted it for him self. I don’t think that he really cares about others and uses his charm to get people to do what he wants. For example, the way he uses his charm is, in the way he asks Armpit to let him have some of his money and that he would make it double. I think that it was rude of him to give Armpit fake tickets. I think that he is mean to Ginny.

Trashy Room

The most trashiest room in my house is the playroom. Dang that room is like a jungle. There’s all kinds of things in the room. I’m the one that always has to clean it all up. Dang that’s sucks and I don’t even make the mess. I don’t know why I always have to clean it up. I shouldn’t have to clean it up. My proctor brother should be the one to clean it all up. He’s the one that make the mess it gets me mad he so lazy.

My Best Friend

Well, my best friend would be my brother because he is always there for me. He helps me to say strong when I am not feeling like trying anymore. Tyler is always there for me to help me to stay out of trouble. Tyler always helps me with everything in school. He tries to push me in the right way. Tyler wants me to do good, stay out of trouble, and go to school. Tyler is just always there for me even when I think he is not. He is my brother, but Tyler would be my best friend because I don’t trust anyone but my family.

Word Choice: Describe the messiest room in your house

The messiest room in my house is none because now that I’m an only proctor I have to keep the house clean myself. Also because I live separate from my proctor family it’s like having my own place and I’m expected to keep it clean if not there’s consequences. Usually not letting me go on home visits and taking the TV from me so I’ll just be bored and not have anything to do all weekend and knowing my proctor I’ll never get the TV back. That would suck. It’s the only thing that doesn’t keep me from keeling over of boredom so now I keep the whole house clean myself. I never actually kept it dirty I’m more like a clean freak so I make sure I keep everything clean.

Word Choice: Describe the messiest room in your house

The messiest room in my house is the garage, in the back yard. It has a lot of different things inside of it like boxes for, clothing, old toys. There is also shovels, racks, sleds, shoes, etc. The materials that was used to make my garage was weak, it was aluminum that moved and made a lot of noisy sounds. When any one would walk into it shrieks. The floor in it is old made out of wood that has cracks every where on it. The paint is also old it looks dull and plane with chips on every corner of it. What my garage has most of are spiders that only come alive at night and silent by the day time.

But with out it where would every thing be?

Small Steps

I think X-ray is not that good of friend because he tries to get all Armpit’s money. He lies to Armpit all the time about a lot of stuff and X-ray gave him fake tickets and that is not a friend. Who does that to there own friend? Like he had to take some of Armpit’s money that Armpit worked hard for. X-ray just asks him for money when he works so hard. X-ray tries to make stuff up to him a lot. I just don’t think he is a good friend to Armpit . I think he acts the same as in the movie. He is just fake to Armpit. He is just in it for the money. I don’t think he is Armpit’s friend. X-ray just wants the money and I think he will do anything to get more money.

Small Steps

I think that having Armpit as a friend at Camp Green Lake. X-Ray was a good friend to Armpit at Camp Green Lake but, he was a fake. I think just like Armpit was being a retard by impressing others around him. When it comes to them both hanging with each other it was some part of great times together. When it came to doing something Armpit was just being on the side of the problem. Armpit is a great guy but, when it comes to when X-Ray needs or wants something then he tries his hardest. When he bugs Armpit for something he just gives in to it. X-Ray is just playing him has a friend only when he needs something.

Journals

I really get along with my parents because they really understand a lot of things that I did in past. I love my family because they did a lot of things with me in the past. I really enjoy being with may family. The truth is that they really didn’t trust me because I was doing stuff that I wasn’t supposed to do. Now I think that I did a lot of things in the past and I really feel bad. I really want to get my mom and dad trust back. Now I been out of drug along time ant I really fell good.

Journals

What is one thing your have learned from an older person?

Nothing because I didn’t have parents that took care of me. I was on my own all the time. I just did some dumb stuff when I use to do drugs. I try to stay out of trouble but that’s hard.

How do you deal with gossip?

No I don’t and if I do I wouldn’t tell anyone at all about it because no one needs to know.

Do you know anyone who has died of a drug-overdose? Describe them. How has it affected you?

No I do not and if I did I would not say some thing because it would be embarrassing.

My Best Friend

My best friend wasn’t really big, but he was a buff kid sort of like my boy Boyd. He was a very cool kid to hang out with. He was my best friend, no he is my best friend and he will always be my best friend. He was like a brother to me. We did almost everything together. He was bold and had his ear pierced. He was just like me - upset that he wasn’t as big as me, but he was buffer than me. We dress the same. We walk the same and almost everything we did was the same. But now he is somewhere in heaven or hell. Now all is left is the memories. I miss him and I love him a lot and I’m not shy to say I love him because he was my best friend and my brother. R.I.P. Jose Angel Mendoza miss you bro love you.

Respect

I show respect to people the way you have to like be nice, don’t steal from them, or talk with respect to them, don’t swear around them if they don’t swear. Respect their body and treat them the way you want to be treated is respect. But if they don’t respect me it’s a whole different story. But other then that I usually respect them most of the time. But I hear to get respect you have to earn it. I do agree with that, but not really. Because it is your choice to respect anybody or not, but it will pay off in the end.

Goals

1. I want to stay off of drugs and stay clean because I want to do good in life and for every one else around me.
2. Get good grades in school and it on the honor role so I can show people that I can do it.
3. I want to graduate early when I am 16 so I have a year to think about want to do in my life.
4. I want to know if my mom is in my life or not and I want a job and be good at it. I hope when I get a job I will be doing something I like and I want to make good money and succeed in life.

Life

I do things that I want to do. No one makes me do any thing. But someone I won’t ever disrespect in my life is my mom or dad. Even if gangs get in the way, if anything I would always be there for my family and my true homies and I will do good for my family cause without them I would be lost in this world of darkness and wouldn’t know what to. I’m glad to have the family I have because just anyone has a mom or dad that they can talk to or kick back with.

My Best Friend

My best friend is my brother. He is everything to me. We were adapted together and we have been through everything. My brother is seventeen; he has black hair, tall, and is skinny. He looks up to me and sometimes I wish he didn’t. The activities he likes are to B.M.X., skate board, resoling, and basketball. He likes girls and has good looks. When we were little we would sleep together and keep each other safe. We were scared of the new family and felt like we were all we had for each other. My brother’s name is Levi.

My Best Friend

My best friend is the best in the whole world. She can be the one that is always there for me. I like having my friend that’s always there for me because she makes me feel all good inside because I have trust in my best friend. I love having her supporting me and always being there for me. So she can be the one that can make me feel good about my self. I like it when she shows up for me all the times when I need her the most. She’s been through lots of crap with me.
