Journal #13

If I had to choose to spend the rest of my life as any type of ancient warriors I would choose to be a Spartan. I think I would want to be a Spartan because Spartans are the toughest of the tough. Ever since I watched the movie 300 I admire the skills they have and the their brutality. I find them to be very strong people and I would want to be just as strong as them. I think my everyday life as a Spartan would consist of training to be better physically fit and stronger than everyone else around me. I think everyone would try to prove that they are the better skilled warrior, so life would involve constant fighting. At first I believe that I would enjoy this lifestyle, but soon tire of the constant fighting. Even so I believe I would still choose to be a Spartan over all the other warriors.

: She was sure this is where she had left him"

Susan began her day like any other day school, basketball, and home. Little did Susan know this would not be an ordinary day? When Susan came home from basketball she took a shower and went to the kitchen to find her some food for diner. Her mother was working a late shift at the hospital and wouldn't be home until she was sleeping. While Susan warmed up her food she heard a noise outside her door that sounded like metal being rubbed against another piece of metal. What was that noise? Susan thought. Curious Susan decided to go outside and look to see if anything was there. Susan stepped outside and found nothing. Hmm that’s odd Susan thought. That's when she heard the microwave going off inside and was reminded that her food was ready.

Opening the door Susan went to go inwhen out of nowhere she was grabbed from behind. The person had grabbed her arms tightly and wouldn't let go Struggling with her attacker was useless for whoever grabbed her was strong, but she couldn't give up for she feared her life was in danger. Susan kicked, shoved, and swung at the air. Her attacker had managed to get Susan's arms behind her back and tied. Susan knew it wouldn't be long until the attacker had completely subdued her. Putting all her might she had managed to kick her attacker in the stomach right where she was aiming for. She thought she could buy enough time to run and try to get away from them and to safety. The attacker crumbled to the floor crying out in pain. Susan took that moment to sprint into the house and managed to close and lock the door with her hands tied behind her back. She grabbed a knife from the kitchen counter and cut the rope off her hands freeing them. Scared Susan went to go to the phone was when she noticed someone coming through the back door. In her moments of terror she realized she forgot to lock the back door.  

Susan ran outside and went straight to the woods that surrounded her house knowing she had no neighbors and the only place around for miles was nothing but woods. Susan ran faster than she ever thought possible crying and wheezing along the way. After running for quite some time she realized her attacker wasn't pursuing her. She stopped running and felt an eerie calm settle over the woods. That was when a male went shooting out of the bushes lunging toward her and in his hand he carried a knife. She knew that if she wanted to survive that she would have to kill him and resolve came upon her. Her and her attacker began wrestling and she managed to pry the knife away from him. Using all the force she could muster she took the knife and plunged it into his heart. He dropped to the forest ground and soon he was dead. Susan was scared and didn't know what to do so, she dug for an hour and put the man’s body in the ground and covered him up with dirt.

          Several days had paced since the incident and Susan had told no one. She barely had gotten any sleep for she feared her attacker would come back to life and come for her. One dreadful night as she lay in her bed trying to sleep she stood up having enough. She would have to see where she buried the attacker’s body for closure. She grabbed a flashlight and put on her sandals and headed into the forest in the dead of night. Susan came across the place she had buried the attacker and she seen that there was an empty hole. She was sure this is where she had left him. Frightened she looked around adrenaline racing through her veins. She heard an eerie sound that sounded like metal being rubbed against metal.

The End

Journal # 7: 3 things on my bucket list

 

The 3 things I want to do before I die are to travel out of the country, go on a reality show, and go to a Chris Brown concert. I want to go out of the country because I want to see the how other people live in different part in the world. Also, it would be very interesting to me and it would be something to do that is out of my comfort zone. The likeliness of me visiting a place out of the country is high because for a graduation present my aunt is going to take me out of the country. Next, I want to go on the show called Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta. I want to go on this show because I want meet all the celebrities on the show and to have a life changing experience. The possibility of me going on the show is very slim because they don't tend to let fans on the show and I am not famous enough to be on the show on my own. Lastly, I want to go to a Chris Brown concert because I love his music and I really want to see him perform live and in person. There is a pretty good possibility that I will see him in concert because I am saving up my money to see him and I plan on going to the nearest concert to see him.

 

My Number 1 Rule

 The number one rule I think everyone should follow no matter what is having good hygiene. Taking good care of your hygiene is important for many reasons. First, when you have good hygiene your being courteous of others because showering, brushing your teeth, etc allows you to smell pleasant, and the people around you don't have to smell unpleasant body odor. Also, when you have good hygiene you tend to look more presentable. This will create a better look for yourself overall. Some possible consequences of you not keeping up on your hygiene is people talking about you, others might not want to be around you because people might think you're dirty, and etc. Even if you're someone who has great equanimity  and can deal with people talking about you should always have good hygiene.An example, of you not having good hygiene is not brushing teeth. As a result, you can develop health problems in the long run like gingivitis. Gingivitis can cause cavities,swollen gums, discolored teeth, bone loss, and bad breath. Finally, being clean can make you feel more confident and happier in situations. As you can see, having good hygiene is important  for many reasons.
