Today I got a taste of what I hope to be in my future career as a cop/DEA. I have this friend at school and he has been using pills. So a few days later thay where on 24 red devils and they kept turning around saying “I tripping out so hard I’m so out of it I can’t stand up” We made a deal that if they do anything and I find out I would go strait to Doug and tell him what’s what. So I was thinking and they had already made a promise to not do anything and hear they where on some. So I went and told Doug that this was going on and he looks at me and says, “If you want to you can pull them out of class and talk, or I could just pull them out of class but tell them to go to Doug’s office.” I said that I would talk to them and make things go as smooth as I could. I call them on the radio because they where out in P.E.

When they came up the stares they asked me what’s up. I told them to come hear and have I sit by me. He asked me what’s going on, what do you need me for. I told them that I have talked to Doug and that I really care about there life and this is the same road that I took and look where it has got me. I want them to make the right choice. Plus Doug is my best friend and he is really understanding and an ausome guy give him a chance lets go talk to him. They keep saying, “Do you know what you have done your sanding me to secure care” and the thought that ran in my head do you realize what you have done. They where so mad at me and I thought he was going to hit me or kick me but nothing happened. I got up and told them lets go in Doug’s office and talk to him.

So when we walked in Doug’s office and he asks what’s going on? They say from what Mark has said you already know everything. I hate how it made me feel but I know it is the right thing to do and I wouldn’t change it. As they where walking out I said to them I love you. I was thinking these to that I want what’s best for them and I’m sorry that this has to happen to are friendship.

If I had twenty million dollars, I would donate it to the cancer fund treatment, give fifteen million dollars to the treatment fund, and keep the rest of the five million .The reason why I would do that for the cancer fund is because I have a family member (my aunt) that is diaignosed with cancer and I would want the CDCP to find a cure to get rid of the cancer so my aunt wouldn’t go through chemotherapy.

I would really like that to happen so cancer can be easier to get rid of. So all of the people and kids won’t need to suffer any more than they have too. The people who have cancer should get some kind of treatment That won’t cost that much for them of course but all of the financial crisis were having so there medicare wouldn’t cover all of it. Then the patients wouldn’t have a problem with the fifteen million dollars that found the cure.

The cancer patients that have really have bad problems with the cancer, lets say leukemia, and they wont to undergo treatment for it. They shouldn’t because the doctors have an antibiotics for the pain I think they should let the patients have some of those painkillers for the cancer. That’s my Idea if I had twenty million dollars so all the cancer patients could get their treatments and so the CDCP could find a cure to kill the cancer.

My hero is my dad and my brother, Reece. It has been us three for a very long time. They are there for me… most of the time. My bother joined the navy last year. He went into the seals. So he left for California to do the boot camp, and then went to Florida for more training. I miss him a lot. My dad got a little sad when he left, which I completely understand. I talk to my brother all of the time, and he still gives me advise. He is my hero because he still sticks by me, even though I’ve messed up a lot.

My dad is my hero because he understands pretty much everything that is going on with me. Since I’ve done pretty much everything he did at my age, he tries to listen. It is great that he listens to me, and doesn’t yell at me. Although he did charge me with theft last year, I know why now. I hated him for a while after that, but I know why he did it. My dad and I make fun of our selves and don’t really like to be around a lot of people, but he taught me how to be myself and not follow others foot steps. I made my own path, and all I did was hit some bumps along the way. I know my dad and brother are there for me, if and when I need them there.

I was asked one time “what happens to you is your own fault”. I disagree with that statement because if you have no control over the thing that happens then it is not your fault. See I don’t think that people realize the difference between the things you can and can’t control. I believe that people are so worried about what going to happen next and I don’t blame them because not everything gives you a choice of what to do. 85% of the things that will happen will give you a choice. The rest of it doesn’t give you a choice at all.

I was abused and neglected as a child and I had no choice in what happened to me. When I hurt others, it’s not like they really have an option. If you had a choice, nothing but good would happen to you, right? Life doesn’t work that way in my opinion because I think life was meant to be hard. If life was easy then what would be the point there would be no difference between anyone really because most everyone would already know everything there is to know. Life is full of heartache, surprises, hard work, and glory. Once we realize that life is not our way and that we are wrong sometimes then life will go a lot easier. One more thing, in life you need to set priorities straight, see who your real friends are, and help those who need it no matter who they are.

I think books a very important, especially good ones. I think a book is good as long as you are interested in the main character, and you identify with him or her. I lose interest as soon as I think about how the main character is pathetic and annoying or the story doesn’t matter.
Books are so important because they make so many thoughts and ideas available to us wherever we go. I can take a book with me and enjoy almost anywhere I go. Books are important because they transcend languages as well as surpass time and circumstance. This is one of the reasons we read so much in English.

Another reason we read is because we get new ideas and a deeper sense of appreciation for the thoughts of others. Books are necessary because a person hundreds of years ago in a foreign place writing in a foreign language can express their opinions and ideals to us today in America.
The point of fiction I think is to express reality outside the realm of reality. In other words you can have a real situation exist when it ever happened in the real world.

If I won $10 million in the lottery and I had to donate $5 million to charity. I would donate it to either primary children’s or a foster home with kids who don’t have parents or family. I would donate for their Christmas and for there cloths. I would want it spent on the children because so they can have things themselves.

What I would do with the $ 5 million that I have is I would use a million or two for a nice house with a lot of land for my animals and for a race track for my motorcycles. I would buy me some nice cars and a camp trailer for camping. I would buy me some four wheelers and some motorcycles. I would go back to racing. I used to race and I would get back into that. I would do a lot of things. I would go to Egypt to see the temples and pyramids, and France to see the sights. I would love to go to all of the greatest wonders of the world. I would also like to go swim in the Ocean and go scuba diving.

10$ MILLION

If you had 10$ million dollars, ask yourself.. What would you do with it? You have to donate at least half of it. Who would you donate it to? Studies? To help cure a disease? How would you benefit you?
I would donate my money to the Foster Care Foundation. I’m in Foster Care and the state isn’t the most fun thing to belong to because of the rules and not being able to see your family because of their stupid mistakes. The reason I chose this foundation was because of how hard the holidays hit me. Christmas especially. Not having parents to go and wake up Christmas morning to see what Santa left you. The look on their face when you get exactly what you wanted, is priceless. They know that they’ve made you happy. But being in the system, you don’t exactly get the same experience. Most foster parents will get you presents and there’s the whole sub for Santa thing. However, it’s not the same if you don’t bond that well with your foster parents. Luckily, I do. That doesn’t mean that I love Christmas the way I used to when I was younger. But anyways.. I think that the state should fork over more money to make the holidays better for us.
Presents don’t make your life better, but it will definitely ensure a better Christmas. While the foster parents children are getting presents from Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles.. on and on and on and on, you get your 3 gifts from sub for Santa. It makes you feel left out. All I’m saying is the money that is donated to the system should be given to the children, not to “better the system.” Because they aren’t.
