2010-01-13T09:08:00.000-08:00

Hurray, I am finally getting out of Crittiton. I have been here since July14, 2008. Now I can spread my wings and fly away. I can be free. I can enjoy my own life now. I will miss most of the staff. I will be praying for them. I know what they are going through. I hope it will stop. However, I know it will not. I hope they can get through it with out me. I will miss the teachers, staff, my # one friend April.

LIFE AFTER CRITTENTON -CHANGES

2009-12-16T10:56:00.000-08:00

My life after Crittenton will be heaven. I’m going to live with my family. I’m going to make new friends. I’m going to have kids. I’m even going to be an angel. I will be a productive citizen, get a good job and support my family. I’m even going to be a good mother. I won’t leave my kids like my mom left me. They will be my priority. They will mean a lot to me. If you have kids you need to take care of them.

AIN'T GONNA TIE ME DOWN!!!!

I like the song, “Tie me down.” And, I realized that I can make that phrase work for me as I try to be a productive person and citizen. I want to change my old habits, which are falling into negativity, not being myself, and not trusting people. I want to be a veterinarian when I get older because animals are the cutest things ever. I never want to hear of people hurting their animals. So, rude people are not going to get in my way. People who take advantage of me are not going to get in my way. My negative friends ain’t gonna tie me down. My trying to fit in is not going to get in my way. In addition, untrustworthy people can stay away if they wanna keep hatin’ on me. I wanna achieve my dreams, and I’m gonna make my dream come true.

And that is how you can take lyrics from a song and flip ‘em. YOU AIN’T GONNA TIE ME DOWN.

FIVE STAR FAMILY

2009-12-10T06:13:00.000-08:00

My five star family is my foster family. They cook. They clean. They help me with my homework. They will never give up on me. They are the only family for me. They take me places like shopping, skating, and swimming. They are never mean to me. They don’t ground me. They are a 5 star family.They are always nice to me no matter what I do or say to them. I love them with all my heart. If another family wants me I am going to say no because my foster family already has my whole heart.

What Would I Do To Be A Productive Citizen?

2009-11-18T12:00:00.000-08:00

As a productive citizen, I choose to respect and obey the laws of our country. I also must respect the differences of others, although I might not agree with what they have to say or how they choose to live. I also participate in community service projects, so I can improve life in our community. Things like recycling and taking care of my neighbor’s dog or dogs when they are not home are simple, but good ways to be a productive citizen.

My game is about people having to learn how to treat their pets and other animals. Our game will encourage people to treat animals with respect, so the animals will not be abused or neglected. As productive citizens we should be informed, not only about our rights but also about the rights of animals.

FREE TO WHISPER, SPEAK, AND SHOUT!!!!

We have learned that Civics is the study of what it means to be a U.S. citizen. In America, everyone enjoys such basic rights as the freedom to speak freely, believe in what we desire to believe, and freedom to express our individuality without being afraid for our lives or the well being of our loved ones. At the same time, we also have responsibilities. Some of are responsibilities of being a good citizen include obeying the law, taking part in and improving my community, and when I am old enough, voting.

Of all my freedoms, I think freedom of speech is most important because you should be able to speak your mind. I can also speak my mind about the government and criticize the government if I choose to. But, I must also be a responsible citizen. I do not have the right to tell lies or to spread false rumors about others. I think these limits help protect my rights and the rights of others, so we all can enjoy our freedom.
