Something that I can't stand is when someone takes something that doesn't belong to them. If it isn't yours don't touch it! Recently I got my wallet stollen out the classroom and they took everything. I didn't have any cash. All I had was my debit card, permit, and my personal pictures. I wasn't so upset about the whole wallet it's self but my brothers Navy picture and a letter from him was in there and it really hit me hard. That is something that can't be replaced and if there was anything to happen to him I wouldn't have anything to remember him by. It doesn't feel good when something that was yours gets taken from you and you don't ever get it back. I hope that this doesn't happen to anyone else because the feeling isn't good.

Future
Well I am about to graduate high school and it's a little scary. I am hoping to attend Murray State University but if that doesn't work out then I will stay here and go to Owensboro Community College. I hit a hard time with money and I hope that I can get a lot of my schooling paid for. But whatever school that I end up at I will be majoring in Elmentary Special Education. I want to get through school in four years and hope to have a job oppurtunity soon after I Graduate. Once I have a job then I will be ready to get married and then start a family later on down the road. I'm not sure where I would like to live it will probably depend on where I can get a job and where my husband can also get a job. I'm excited about the future but I'm putting it all in God's hands and I'm sure it won't go completly the way I want it to but I have a slight plan.
Senior Track
This is my last year running Track. We only have three more races left and I'm getting nervous. We are performing well this year but it will be a close race to qualify for state. I have been running since the sixth grade and I'm getting kinda tired of it. But I'm getting pretty sad about ending my running career this year. I have always enjoyed running because it kept me in shape and I loved being with the people on the team. We have so many great memories and I can't believe we have to say goodbye. I know we won't stop being friends but we won't get to see each other as much because we are going to different colleges. I know that it will be a sad moment to tell my coach goodbye because I have known him since was really little. But I think it's time to grow up and reach out and meet other people. Maybe I will find some runners at college and we can run for fun together.
Ending High School
I can't wait to get out of high school because that means no more waking up at 6 o'clock. I am not a morning person and hate getting up early. High school is feeled with people that get on my nerves and pointless classes that won't help me at all in the future with my career. I love the social part of high school and the actual classes that are going to benefit me. This year has gone by really fast to me. The sad part about leaving high school is that all the relationships I have now are going to be gone once we leave. I will miss some of high school but not all of it.

Dear Mrs. McDaniel,
I started off high school freshman year a little behind in English. While I was in Middle School I didn’t put forth much effort in my reading or writing. I thought I would be fine because I could just start off clean and catch up but that wasn’t completely true. I was placed in Read 180 because of my MAPS score. It was a little embarrassing but the class focused on your reading skill and that’s what I needed help with. I came out of the class with a good grade and could read a lot better.
It got worst once I reached sophomore year because my teacher left for most of the year. We were placed with seven different subs that didn’t have much English background. Of course with subs the students don’t pay attention and don’t do a lot of work. So I struggled through that year with not much grammar or vocabulary practice. We read one book but didn’t really understand it that well. The year was really a waste and didn’t get anything accomplished.
Then comes a better year, junior year. I got my schedule at the beginning of the year and saw that I had you as a teacher and was glad to see someone new. I never had you as a teacher and didn’t know your style of teaching. I came in the class ready to learn something new and hope for a better English class than I’ve had in the past. You introduced the class and made it clear that there would be plenty of writing and reading in your class. From that point I was ready to get started. I loved writing but never got the opportunity to do it well and the right way. I remember that you had us write a lot of personal pieces and writings that meant something to us.
After having you for my junior year I prayed that I had you again my senior year. Well my prayers were answered and I got to have you as my English teacher. Even though for some reason I liked starting off each year with receiving the first zero in the grade book. But knowing how you taught I came into class excited to start off the year. I knew that you were going to be challenging but that was the reason I am a better writer today. Some of the things that we did in class I didn’t really enjoy but struggled through and gave my full effort.
You may not know how much of an impact you have on students but you are truly changing kid’s lives everyday. My writing was rough when I first started and having you for two years has made it a lot better. Coming into class every morning was a joy to me. I always woke up and smiled because I knew I had English first period. You are someone that everyone loves to be around and easy to talk to. I’m so comfortable around you and can talk to you about anything knowing you aren’t the one to judge. You actually care what happens to us and want us to succeed. Being your student has been amazing and you’re a wonderful role model and honest someone I look up to as an example. I didn’t really have that mother figure to learn from and someone to teach me right from wrong. You have taught me so much and a lot comes from your actions and how you react to do things. I love your deep thought on topics because it just makes me think deeper. It really is going to stink when I graduate because I won’t get to see your beautiful face every other day at 8:15. But I know that I will never forget you as a teacher and someone that has truly changed my life in SO many ways. Thank you so much for everything that you do.
With Love,

DRAMA!!!
I wanted to post this blog a little differently. I'm not going to talk about drama but I want to know what you have to say about drama and why are girls so into being in drama all the time??? This is something I will not miss with leaving High School.
*Please respond.
Getting a JOB :(
Well this year there are things that have come up and choices that I have made that are making me get a job to pay for a lot of things. I don't mind to work it's just the fact that it's telling me that I'm growing up and now I need to take responsibility for myself. I want the money but I know that money is going towards things that are big and won't be much to just spend on fun. I am also nervous about working because I feel that I would mess something up and get into trouble. There is so much with going to work. Your freedom is taken away and you have to schedule everything around when you work which might mean that you will have to miss somethings. Oh well this something I will have to get over and realize that I can't do it all and it's time for this job because I need it to go further in my future.
