My ninth grade was pretty cool until the last week of school I let my mouth get the best of me and said some things that I really should’ve not said and because I did I earned the next semester at the alternative school. When school started back I was very sad because I had to go to the “bad” school with all the “bad” kids and I was very nervous. Once I got there it was pretty cool and I really enjoyed it because the classes were smaller and you got more one on one help. My grades went up and my mom decided that I should spend the rest of the year there, which really messed me up because they did not offer any elective classes only the basics . My eleventh grade year was also a disaster because of the struggle of passing my biology state test and I was really distracted and just wanted to go back to the alternative school but my mom and the principle would not send me back.
However, we may see a change in this if the economy stays as it is because all the people in that 15 week unemployment range are on their way to the 27 week unemployment range if a job cannot be found. Next are those that have been unemployed for 5 to 14 weeks averaging about 3 million unemployed. Last are those that have been employed less than 5 weeks averaging about 2.5 million
Each event normally lasts 9-12 months they often starts in spring reaches its strongest point between December and January and appears to end around may of the next year. It frequently brings record rainfall to Peru, Chile and Ecuador. Southern Australia is often hit by drought and it also sees an increase in its temperatures. South east Australia heats up and because it is already dry due to drought there is a massive increase in the chance of bush fires. The other effects on Southern Australia are; lower rainfall, fewer cyclones, late and weak tropical monsoon and lower

THE DIARY OF ESTHER ABRAHAMS Dear diary, Wednesday 30th September 1786 My name is Esther Abrahams, I am 15 years old. I am in the Newgate prison, right now. I am in this prison because exactly one month ago I attempted to steal a 12 yard black lace for a local London store which would have cost 50 shillings. My trial for the case had good evidence I even had 3 eye witnesses but I guess it wasn’t enough to the jury since I've been sentenced for 7 years. It’s going to be a long and tough 7 years but I will try to do the best I can.

Liz Gomez English 101 Mr. Tafarella 3/9/11 On Monday of last week I woke up with the biggest headache ever and believe me I was not ready to go to class but I really didn’t want to miss the video that Mr. Tafarella was going to show us, so I got up, got ready and decided I had nothing to lose and I went to class. Once at school we had a lot of trouble trying to get the video to work and finally there it was; the most interesting subject I could have ever come across “Jonestown” To tell you the truth at first I was a little bit confused because I had never heard of this story, but once the documentary got going I was not able to take my eyes off of it. After the documentary ended I realized I wanted to know even more. I mean, I couldn’t
Some friends reduced my pressure by their understanding about American students; “All they like to do is join in the party; you will never see them studying in the library more than three hours. The truth is you cannot compete with them in language, but you can compete with any American student in academic study, because they are so lazy.” I was so excited, even though I did not know if it was true or not. After a whole day trip, I found my dorm in PFT with a tired body and spirit. “What does my roommate like?” I was thinking before I opened the door. All the lights were on but no body was in the room.
It was the last day of my junior year; it was a nice day and a great day because that meant it was pot smoking season again. Everyone was afraid to smoke during the school year due to the new East Peoria High School Athletic Code. Random drug tests administrated all year and if you were found polluted, it meant a sweet one-third of any sports season on the bench for a year. No one works hard all year to have to sit out of the only fun activities in high school, but athletic code directors and drug test administrators Lori Laredo and Ron Kelch were out to get anyone they could. I was tested once during the year, but there was some people that were tested up to four times, and if I may note, these were supposed to be random drug tests… there wasn’t anything random about them.
They were also far too long for the students to complete. Teachers teach because they adore children, changing their lives, and creating amazing people. They have been stripped of that. Jessica, a teacher, says that she cannot imagine doing it this way (Common Core) another 20 years. She says, “It’s hard to rest my head on a pillow at night, and feel good about what we are doing to these kids.” These personal stories show that education, which is supposed to benefit students, is only hurting them tremendously, because it is not beneficial to the teachers in the first
