Essay

Swag! "Wow you look nice Jessica." Jessica came to school with a Gucci bandanna, new forces, and Baby Phat jeans. While Desiree came to school in a Walmart shirt and old Reebok's. If there was school uniforms, Desiree wouldn't be embarrassed by her outfit.The dress code should be enforced because some students can not afford the latest clothes, and there would be less crime.
First off, dress code should be enforced because some students can not afford named brand clothing. For example, some students are not fortunate and have both parents. Therefore there is only one income at the house and there are other necessities at the house to attend to than expensive clothing. In addition, because the student does not have the latest trends they get picked on and teased. Because the student is getting their feelings hurt, they blame the parent and other problems occur.
Furthermore, one of the problems that occur is crime. Uniforms should be enforced because it will cause juvenile crimes to decrease. The student is dealing with a lot of stress from peer pressure and making horrible decisions. For instance, because the student is being picked on they steal so they will be accepted. Eighty percent of juvenile cases is theft. Also some students commit suicide because they feel life is hard and they will never be accepted.
In closing, Desiree feels bad because she does not have nice clothes like Jessica. Dress code should be enforced because everyone can not have swag like Jessica and afford the latest trends, and there will be one less child in jail for stealing from Foot Locker.

Poem- Malcolm X

Growing up in Lansing
During the hard times
My mama white, my daddy black
Five other brothers and sisters
My daddy dying when I was eight
My mom going crazy
Can't think straight
Moving away, top of my class
Becoming a Mascot is not so bad
The only black amongst these whites
Something don't seem right
Can't be a lawyer
Psh who told me that
Your wrong matter of fact
Guess what? I'm moving away
That's what you get
For making me go astray
Drugs, sex, theft, yea I did it
To bad I'm with Stephany
Jail, yea I'm hard core
But now I'm changing
For better more

The Best Day!!

Monday. Memorial Day!! The best day out of all of the three. Monday my dad dropped me back to my house and I went back to sleep. I put my phone on the charger, but it was on vibrate so nobody can bother me. What a mistake! My cousin was standing in my door way and said it's time to go to the park. I replied nooo it can't be! I wasn't ready. I had to brush my teeth, wash my face, get dressed and pack some clothes. I did it all in 10 minutes :). I regret not shaving the other day, because I had to wear shorts to the park :(. There were so many boys I hate myself. But I got over it and had a good time. We rented a four person bike, it was my girl cousin Kiki, my boy cousin Dorian, my brother Antonio, and me. We road around looking for the pool and when we reached the pool we found out it was 8.50 per person. So we decided to go to the beach, but we were waiting for my cousin Brandon so we can all go to the beach together. In the mean time we all took turns driving the bike. I didn't want to drive because I knew I was a reckless driver. We almost got hit by a car, almost fell off a hill, almost hit a tree, it was bad so they kicked me out of the drivers seat. My cousin Brandon came and he brought his friends from the football team. O no, I was looking a mess! We headed to the beach. We got to the beach at 3, but I did not touch the sand until 6 o'clock. Tell me why. It took us forever to find parking, and when we finally did we had to walk. I finally make it to the beach and I don't even see any fine boys to talk to. I'm all the way over by the nude section! Eeew. But I did see my friends, that was a plus. And I put my cousin down with this boy, but he had a tooth missing ha ha. The bus ride on the way back to the car was the best part. I saw more of my friends and they were just making me laugh! Everybody was trying to get with my cousin. It was ridiculous, ew she's my cousin! I ate good before I went home and then went to sleep. Best day ever :). (not really ever)

The Second day was better.... Sunday!!

Sunday. The second day to my three day weekend. I woke up and went to church with my dad. :-P. It was sooo tiring. He dropped me at home so I can get ready for the bar-b-q that he was going to have at his house. I wore my new shorts that my mom bought me and a shirt. I didn't bother to shave because it was just family. I fell asleep waiting for my dad. My brother picked me up instead while my dad continued cooking. When I arrive at the house there is nobody there, only the people that live there. Five minutes later the house was packed with a whole bunch of people. One car pulled up, five people jumped out. Another car pulled up, and another five people hopped out. It was crazy there was not enough chairs, so we borrowed some from the neighbor. We were playing cards, me and my baby cousins were playing hide and go seek, and they were playing chess. Ha ha who plays chess? The bar-b-q was coming to an end and people started leaving, it was the shortest bar-b-q I have been to. But it was still fun.

Saturday!!

The first day to my awesome three day weekend. On Saturday I woke up early to go driving with my dad. I'm surprised he took me driving after I crashed the car. I was a nervous wreck. He took me to the usual spot where I drive 5 miles per hour, and then there was a twist. He told me to leave the park and I was driving on the street. I was scared because I was still half asleep and the roads were narrow. What if I hit a car this time? I was so scared. But lucky for me nobody was on the road and I did OK. I think I will get better with experience. We then went back to the park to practice parking. This I was good at, going head in of course. Then he made me park going in reverse. I messed up so I started over. The second time I did better but I hit the imaginary car next to me. After driving I went to my grandma's house to help her with her math. She is in school for her Bachelor's Degree. I felt so smart helping her!! I then made my way over to Amadine house to chill. She gave me some greol (I don't know how to spell it), that thing was sooooo awesome!! I could not get enough of it. When I was finished with the greol I went to my aunties house. We watched movies until 12 in the morning. :) Avatar and Transformers!
