Monday is dull and boring. Monday is terrible no energy, no joy just like an old cat.

Tuesday is more hyper than Monday. Tuesday is like an Middle aged man. Tuesday is not as dull like Monday.

Wednesday is like a moody girl. Sometimes happy and calm and but also very stressful and aggravating.

Thursday is the coolest you can ever meet. Very chilled like Friday but Thursday is a day of relaxation.

Friday is the life of the party! Excited and happy and spoiled. Friday is like the youngest child in the family.

Saturday! Everyone loves Saturday very fun and more energized then Friday. Saturday is the best you can be around, always can make you happy and stressfree

MLK

From the people that have died for wanting the life that i am experiencing today, i am taking advantage of because life is different compared to what Dr.King went through. "I may not get there with you, but i want you to know tonight that we as people will get to the promised land." What Dr. King was hoping for was equality and everyone to live a better future without chaos. If Dr.King walked into my class today, i think he would be satisfied of many things but also disappointed by many others. My school is a mixed school and i am taking advantage of the education i am receiving that young black students would not have been taught years ago.

Dr.King would be very proud that the United States have there first African American president. Obama is trying to give children a better look on education and tries to get every child the best to succeed in life. I am glad i have an African American in my generation. African Americans came a long way from not being eligible to vote to now being able to become a president. Obama is standing up for the black community and offering the best he can do to make everyone lives of American better.

Mixed School and the education system is still very similar to Dr.King time. There is all white schools but African American students can attend. In a white community there education system is better than an African American community. Usually some schools in the white community is ahead of other schools. The environment and also a different feeling. Dr.King would not be proud of that, mainly because the African American community made it this way. Our community is ignorant and inappropriate, its not all of the community but mainly the people that do not care give a bad reputation for all of African Americans. When one looks bad it makes the whole African American population.

This is important to remember where we come from and how far we came. Dr.King would be relieved on many African Americans because they are going forward in life and making a better future for themselves. Also for all the people that do not take advantage of the life where living they are going to be stuck in the past and be judged. We as people should always be equal and treated all the same. No time for ignorance and hatred.

Love is as painful as a
stab in the chest.
Love is as beautiful as a
mountain full of snow.
Love is as emotional as the
rain clouds in the sky
crying over whatever it has
on its mind.
Love is as joyous as a
baby's first laughter.
Love is as stressful as the
dreadful tax day.
Love can be as carefree as
a student starting summer vacation.

"National Free Shopping Day" (one free item per person)

My name is Tiffany and i would like to propose a new holiday called "National Free Shopping Day". This new holiday will help many people that would like to get an item that they can not afford or do not want to spend money on. The purpose of national free shopping day is to have everyone to have something that they always wanted for free. Having one day or getting free items will make people more likely to begin shopping at the store after and also make everyone aware of the new holiday. The date of holiday will be at 12:01 am to 8am on January 1st. I choose those times because many people is out celebrating the new years and also welcoming the New Year with one day of free shopping. Everyone will have a fresh start. People who would be in charge on what would be sold will be the managers.They will choice what they want to be sold for free to the customers so the store would not lose valuable merchandise and leave the store empty.

Helpers can be workers that was hired from the store and also volunteers. Volunteers can be from the same community and have many helping hands so National free shopping day will not be chaos like Black Friday. To be invited in the national free shopping day you will have to be a member of the store (similar to Bj's). Basically anyone can be invited as long as you sign up to become a member of the store. The national free shopping day will be located at selected stores. Some activities will involved games for children to get free items.

"He tied his boat off and started to climb the cliffs.He knew that no one had lived to tell what was behind the cloud, but still he climbed."
Its going to be a dangerous mission. One mistake, one slip can have him tumbling back down to the earth floor. Its been 5 days on the boat traveling to get to the mystery island. Elders say.. "Whom who gone to the island and went up the mountain, never came back".
Michael. The courageous young man. Michael have heard all the tales of the mystery mountain when her was a child. Always dreamed, one day going up there and coming back to the city and telling everyone his experience.
"Michael you must have lost your mind". Michael's girlfriend Christina shouted out to him. "Its always been my dream, i have to go and no one is going to stop me". Michael replied calmly. This conversation continuously appearing in his mind while leaving his home in North Alaska. Very cold but also very motivated, Michael keeps on climbing, not stopping until he reaches the top.

This photo represents a women named Terri Gurrola and she is reunited with her daughter after serving in Iraq for 7 months. This photo expresses a lot of feelings. I can imagine how Terri felt when she finally see her daughter and held her in her arms. I see a very relieved mother to finally get to see her daughter. Terri is hugging her daughter tight and crying. I know this was the happiest moment in Terri’s life when she have laid eyes on her daughter. 7 months is a very long time. Especially when you have a child back home, wondering how she’s doing, how fast she’s growing up and your child never leaving your mind. While Terri was fighting in the war, I know her daughter was the only person on her mind. Many people that serve in the military have a friends and family back home they stay on their mind. Its very hard for them because there lives are in danger and not sure if they will make it home safely. I know being away from some one you care about so much hurts a lot. The feelings is the worse that anyone can experience because no one knows if they will ever see their loved ones again. I think while this picture was being taken I believe that Terri and her daughter did cried when they see each other. Terri felt like the happiest women alive to finally see her daughter. Also the mother and daughter had a lot of catching up to do after being apart for 7 months. Terri has missed a lot from being away for so long. Relationships between mothers and daughters can be special and close, but they can also be thorny and problematic. Some mothers and daughters are best friends. Others talk once a week. Some see each other weekly; others live in different states or countries. Some spar regularly. Some avoid conflict, but this little girl was separated by her mom from war. I know every day Terri Gurrola daughter would think about her mother every day and every night. Vice Versa with Terri Gurrola. She was fighting for her country. Also she was fighting to return home to her daughter and family. This is a very touching scene depicted here reveals her deep emotional commitment to her family, and to her country, as she hugs her young daughter, having been in Iraq. We need to bring our troops home. So many other can experience the happiness and joy of finally reuniting with there family and friends after being gone for long. This picture of Terri Gurrola and her daughter brought tears to my eyes. The photo is very inspiring. For all the troops in war right now have a lot of courage and bravely to go out and fight for our country and many of our troops do not never return. Imagine your loved one when off to war and they have never return. Being a small child and not having one of your parents there watch you grow up in to a independent adult. But instead you have to struggle and deal with the fact that your mother or father is gone forever because of the horrible wars that be taken place in this world. This photo will inspire Terri Gurrola to push further in life and also stand tall and stay strong for her daughter and family. Terri Gurrola is a very strong person she was not ashamed of breaking down in tears after finally seeing her daughter. Every second will seem like forever being away from the one you loved. I strongly believe that Terri Gurrola had many thoughts and prayers going threw her mind when she was finally leaving Iraq and coming back to America. The only thought she had in her mind was her beautiful daughter. The first site the first hug the first sound. Of her daughter would have made Terri cried. If I was in her shoes I would have done the same actions. I would not believe in a my own flesh and blood and leaving to go to war in another country. Praying everything, hoping I will come back. If I was Terri Gurrola I would break down in tears every day. I would be scared of death, I would be scared of fighting for our country. I like to help out other people but I do not want to have the possible chance of losing my own life. Terri Gurrola is really a lucky women. She have God on her shoulders watching over her and her family. You would have to be a very strong and confident person to become a troop and fight in these wars. All they have is faith and God to protect them but the horrible people out here in this world.  Many lose their lives to protect the ones that they love and give all it takes to protect the innocent and there country. Imagine the pain? Imagine the suffering? Imagine the troopers mind. War tears people apart but also bring many closer together. Imagine being the little girl in this image. I know she would pray every night to finally see her mother and praying that she made it through the day safely and unharmed. Terri Gurrola and her daughter inspired thousands of people with this photo. This photo touched many hearts. Brought many tears and joy to thousands of people. Many of people in this world also feel her pain and relief. God bless Terri Gurrola and her family and also many of the other troops in war right now, fighting to come home and be reunited with their loved ones similar to Terri and her daughter. A lot of people in this world could not imagine the feeling the pain troopers feel while being out of the country. God stays with them and tries his best to save as much lives as possible.
