Brief

I met one of my closest friends from being here at Roosevelt. I never knew I could meet someone that had all the same intrest as me.

The same favorite color, the same eye color, the same foods. It's to weird.

But I am so glad I met her. "Your literally the only person, I trust."

When she told me that I felt like we both accomplished something big in life. There's nothing in this world that I wouldn't tell her.

I know that if something was wrong and I needed help she would be there for me. 

I can say that moving here was really good choice.

Plagrism

A teacher at University of Chicago had assinged a paper to his students. And a week later the students had to turn the paper in.

Zakaria turned in his paper to his professor. And when the professor realized that he has seen the work somewhere else but just wasn't for sure where.

The professor had another teacher look over the work. And then relaized that this student had plagerized. The professor was also a little iffy about excepting the students work because the student was a Native english speaker.

The called the student in. The student confessed to everything he had done.

The student was crying as he confessed to what he did. The professors felt sorry him because they knew how stressful the task was.

The student Zakaria told the professors that his wife was pregant and he was inches away from graduating and he decided to take the easy way out of the assignment.

So they denied his degree. They felt really bad but they couldn't have accepted that.

If they did they would basically be saying that it is okay to take other peoples work. And that's not what they wanted to known for.

I like the movie.  i thought is was very creative.

Terry took a lot of time to get these people noticed for their creativity. I never knew that people took street art so  seriously.

When Blansky called Terry and let him know that he could tape him while he was doing his arts on the street, and how Terry was excited.

That opened a door up for Terry. He took his work more serious.

What Terry did was opened up a door for people. His interest was in street art and his passion was to capture these people in action and thats exactly what he did.

I find street art kind of instructing now. They are very artistic people and they don't want to get known for it. And that's crazy to me.

They do all their work when no one pays attention. I find that very cool that they just do art for fun.

I wish they had more street art in Des Moines. I see some street art on trains sometimes but not as much as they did when it was in their town.

They are truly talented. I know everyone that seen this movie looks at street art differently. I personally like this movie and I would recommend this movie to anyone.

The NSA is a secret agency. A lot of people think that the NSA listens to phone calls and collects everyones email says Keith who is in charge of the NSA.

The NSA only checks to see if a terrorist is going to attack. they are only defending America.

They have no value to listening to our phone calls or our emails. Meta data is a useful way for the NSA to see if a terriost attacks.

They are only trying to protect and defend America. If a terriost has any contact with someone in the United States thats when the NSA comes in.

The NSA is not listening to our conversations. The NSA can only see the time and how long the call is.

They are extra cautious because of 911. They have a logical reason why they have access to our phone calls.

If the NSA was protective as today 911 would have never happened.

Nelson Mendula dies recently but he is such a great leader. He was put in jail for 27 years for no reason.

And he forgives those people that locked him. His heart is kind.

He had two daughters and he didn't get to see one of his daughters until she was 15. And he still forgave the people that treated him like crap.

Nelson Mendula had sent letters explaining that he had rights. And the people reminded him that he was a prisonior.

And Mendula still had a positive attitude. Nelson Mendula was shipped around from prison to prison.

When Nelson Mendula walked out of prison he walked with pride. He knew that the president was ran by racist white men.

And turned out that he ran for President. He didn't seek for revenge.

Amazing thing

Something that happened to me that is amazing to me is me moving schools and would be me finding who am i through this move. I have had so many problems throughout my past and to finally realize who i am and what you stand for is so amazing.

When I first moved schools I wasn't so proud of it. I was actually kind of upset.

But when I got here things weren't as bad as I tried to make it seem.

I grew in a lot of ways. As in a mature way and just as a person.

This school wouldn't be first choice but I am making light of the situation. It would be stupid to not and hate high school.

I feel as if I can be myself. I think a lot has a lot to do with just within. I'm not really involved in a lot of school activities but I do, do a lot out of school.

My relationship with my family is so much better, almost better than it has ever been. My mom is happy about the move.

I love who I am becoming and that is one thing that I am proud of about this move. When I look back on life i can give all the props for making me move schools. And that is one thing that is so amazing to me.
