New Years Resolution

The last few days I was debateing to a resolution for the next year or not.  So I thought to try it this year but keeping it simple and fun. If I dont make the goal I set I am not worry about it I can keep trying till I get it.  
A New Year's resolution is a commitment that a person makes to one or more lasting personal goals, projects, or the reforming of a habit. This goal must be reached by the Next New Year. Keep in mind that this is a goal, not a wish and should be something that you as a person could strive for.
This lifestyle change is generally interpreted as advantageous. A New Year's Resolution is generally a goal someone sets out to accomplish in the coming year. Some examples include resolutions to donate to the poor more often, to become more assertive, or to become more environmentally responsible. A key element to a New Year's Resolution that sets it apart from other resolutions is that it is made in anticipation of the New Year, and new beginnings. People committing themselves to a new year's resolution plan to do so for the whole following year.
These are some of the goal that are out there  today
Popular goals include resolutions to:Improve well-being: lose weight, exercise more, eat better, drink less alcohol, quit smoking, stop biting nails
  • Improve finances: get out of debt, save money
  • Improve career: get a better job
  • Improve education: improve grades, get a better education, learn something new (such as a foreign language or music), study often,
  • Improve self: become more organized, reduce stress, be less grumpy, manage time, be more independent, perhaps watch less television, play less sitting-down video games
  • Take a trip
  • Volunteer to help others, practice life skills, use civic virtue, give to charity
For the year 2012, the top 5 resolutions, as identified by a SlideShare survey are:
  • Be financially-savvy
  • Read at least one book per month

Take me for a example I lost my 3 grandparents. I know they are watching over me. I miss them deary because there are times I wish there was more time to spend with them. I know what memories I have of them will all be in my heart. The  thing they do for me I will remember them by. Plus two of our classmates died due to tragic accidents. I lost many other family member too.  
Grandpa Wilson-  When I get home from school I will ran up to his place since we live on the same property as him. I sorry i cant remember much of this person. All I know he died when I was little kid
Grandma Snyder- died Febuary 2008- because of cancer that suppose to start Chemotherapy that following week. She never got see my graduate from high school and be there for the open house party for me but I know one thing she was watching from heaven. Plus we even shared the same birthday together.     
Grandpa Snyder- September 2011- He use to call me his girl. He also died of cancer. I also miss this person tons. all the memories I have left is the fishing pole and trackle box that he give me and my brother that when my grandma was still alive.
There are times I have to look back at the pictures to keep those memories alive. Or try and do something that they loving makeing like my grandmas peanut bon bons.    
Alex sapp- died today two years ago. because a snowmobile accident. i didnt know alex well. All I knew the school that I used to go to was hurting when we return back. We were on christmas break at the time I know it was going be hard on the staff and students and friends of Alex.

Even if the hoilday are rough on me. There are time I cry because I miss them. I know when I was at school or work and I found out I was really upset and crying. I also knew that my friend where there for the support and they where there when I need them. Like a shoulder to cry on to help me out or making me laugh. All I have left is my one grandma and lots of aunts and uncle and cousins.
 
Life Goes On
The rain will fall the snow will sparkle,
the tree's will blow and the birds will sing, children will dance flowers will grow,
music will ring and tears will flow,
ice will melt and memories felt.
Yesterday i was there, today i am not.
The angels called upon me and led me far away.
Tears will fall, hearts will break.
but i am still there in your heart.
I can still be felt.
close your eyes can you see me standing there? remember life goes on.
one day we will meet but until then enjoy what you have got.
If you ever need me just close your eyes and i will be there,
open your eyes and i will be gone,
now live your life and move on.
Remember i am only sleeping.
i will never be too far.
i will be that star shining down on you,
can you see it?
tonight i say goodbye,
tonight i shed my last tear,
i have to leave the angels are near.
Fall with the rain,
sparkle with the snow,
blow with the tree's
and sing with the birds,
dance with the children
and ring with the music,
enjoy yourself and be happy,
smile and cry sing and dance,
laugh and be sad.
share moments and express feelings.
stengthen and weaken.
love and smile.
you are still young, your life is yours.
forever will i miss you.
but now I've been laid to rest.
the angel came i got my wings.
i can fly, and i can sore
i can reach where I've never been before.

close your eyes see I'm still standing there.
I love you grandma, grandpa s. and grandpa w. Miss all three of you ton I wish you where still here. I wish that I spent more time with all three of you. The only part I hated was when I never say last good bye or I love you to them. I know one more thing we will are reunited in heaven.

Bullying

do you ever want to know how it felt like to be bully. the disability world of special needs are getting bully. think every day when i was in school how can i stop this. None can stop this bully will still be out there. there were times i was scare to tell someone. sometime they would leave me alone. i wish those who bully other leave them alone too.   
  
Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior manifested by the use of force or coercion to affect others, particularly when the behavior is habitual and involves an imbalance of power. It can include verbal harassment, physical assault or coercion and may be directed repeatedly towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability. The "imbalance of power" may be social power and/or physical power. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a "target."
School bullying is a type of bullying that occurs in connection with education, either inside or outside of school. Bullying can be physical, verbal, or emotional and is usually repeated over a period of time.[2][3]
In schools, bullying occurs in all areas. It can occur in nearly any part in or around the school building, though it more often occurs in PE, recess, hallways, bathrooms, on school buses and waiting for buses, classes that require group work and/or after school activities.[citation needed] Bullying in school sometimes consists of a group of students taking advantage of or isolating one student in particular and gaining the loyalty of bystanders who want to avoid becoming the next victim. These bullies taunt and tease their target before physically bullying the target. Targets of bullying in school are often pupils who are considered strange or different by their peers to begin with, making the situation harder for them to deal with.
i hate bully, teasing and many other thing that go with bullying. i even see sign up in schools if you see someone getting bully or pick on
I pledge that i will not bully or pick  on other people. i hope other people follow me in this pledge to stop bullying. if i see people getting bullying i will go tell a adult or someone i can trust to tell them what is going on.

Apert Sydrome

People many look at me wired or call me name or tease me. I am a disability person. I have special needs. I was surprise a guy ask did i have a amputation done to my leg. I told him i was born like that. the truth why i have four fingers and webbed feet or i can't talk perfect or i can't see well. it because i have apert syndrome     
          Apert syndrome is a craniofacial (head and face) and limb disorder caused by a genetic defect on chromosome 10 (98 percent of cases). Usually there is no family history of the syndrome. In the United States, Apert syndrome occurs in approximately 15.5 infants per million births. People of Asian heritage have the highest prevalence (22.3 per million births), and people of Hispanic heritage have the lowest prevalence (7.8 per million births). It occurs in both boys and girls. Children born with Apert syndrome have distinctive malformations of the head, face and limbs.
         It was hard go through school. I token class that I thought I couldn't do. Band class i had for fun. I had to be get help and learning the music. or tap my foot to the beat. I was to small for the band uniforms. Swimming class was another one was hard to take because I couldn't swim. Plus my arm cant do all the movement that the other students can do.
         I got trease a lot in school when I was younger. I got name call at me. I try to ignore what they are saying to me. I went to teacher or staff member. I even volunteer at my local high school and helping them out where ever they need it. for my friend they got my back and I got there. i know I can hopefully count on theirs. I know one thing i didn't like it when we had a sub in the class. i even join a special Olympics team. I even pick up bowling.          
          Please help me stop the bully on the special need. these special need some encouragement from us. Even if we get trease or pick on. I don't like when my friends are hurting because someone did to them. We need to stand up and do something about it.  It break my heart to see someone or somebody get pick on.

The Junior Year Challenge

The year I race the the guppy. I train for a long time in that second semester. I knew one thing thing get my time down and it taken a lot of time to train and had to give up my free time to do it. Also knew that I could beat the guppy. First I had to get a rountie fiqure out. The routine was to start off with the front crawl and then when I reach the 25 yard mark then I flip to my back crawl to give me time to breath and give my arm a rest till I had to turn to finish up with the front crawl. I had to work on my flip turn and my turn so it will not affect my time or add time to me. Every other day I got or try to get me time I think I got me from almost 2 minutes down to 54 second that was a big archivement for me. I went from have no confidence to having it. It was even put in the our daily announcement.
The day of the race. I had nerves run through me. I even had my own cheering section thank to my friends and classmates. I try to sneak peak and see how many people are in the pool area. The pool area was pack full. I was suprise to see the pool area was full by the school almost everyone was there to see it. If the guppy didn't have is horse floating device he will give the shark run for her money. The time before the race start we end up doing one splash each just for fun. If the guppy had a rountine I think the guppy could of beat me. I am glad that I won it because I didnt want to owe the guppy a cookie. he had to owe me instead. We even high five each other. Even through the water was cold. The guppy was a few second slower then me. What made me swim faster was the cheering that I could hear from the crowd. I made sure I touch that wall. Even through the guppy didn't touch the wall. While in the deeper water the guppy came close to catch me but wasn't even close to catch me. I was glad that I had my goggle and flippers.  When they announcement the winner I was suprise it was  lane 1. I thought to myself  that the guppy had won or did I win. If I didnt win that the class I token at that time would have to do more lap. Lucky I have won and had to do five or four lap for that day. Even through there was  rematch issues and never happen. When I got to my next class. My class suprise me with a banner and told me good job. I was so shock I was in I end up crying. I was happy that I won that race.
The guppy daughter interview us. the question where ask. How long was I preparing for the race? The shark said before senior trip or a long time. the guppy said 4 minutes. What did we think the completion? The shark said it was good. The guppy said she was good today and she was on her time  I couldnt catch me at the end. What did i think of the guppy? did i think he beat me? i throught the guppy will beat me. i had my time good enough where he can't beat me. we got to talk to each other and said good job and practice in my kiddy pool. Plus practice in the ocean. We both did a Good Job
 The swim teacher ask how much i was going beat him next year? i said idk and he said twice much or more. the guppy ask the swimmig offical was it a close horse race? She said his flip turn got him and didnt touch the wall and almost throw his horse out of the water. The Guppy said it was close.
Atleast I am the only one challange a teacher or someone in the OHHS swimming classes.            
I had many challenges this was one of the hardest to do or the crazy one I have done. I was happy that i taken that class.
