If I could meet anyone dead or alive, it would have to be Michael Jordan. I want to meet Michael Jordan to ask him how he is doing. It has been a while since he retired from playing in the NBA. He was in the 1990s all star game and it was a memorable one for the people that were there. There were also about ten questions that I wanted to ask him.
· How old are you?
· How is your son?
· Are you still in shape to play basketball?
· How does it feel to be worship as an idol by many people?
· Who taught you to play basketball?
· Did you want to give up on basketball when college did not accept you?
· Do you have some of your own basketball cards in your home?
· Do you like to fish?
· How many sports did you try during your lifetime?
· Will you ask your son to try out for the NBA when he is older and follow the foots steps that you have taken?

Prompt 7 Be True to your self Word Count: 161
“To thine own self be true”
Some people act and do what other people think but don’t express how they really are. Many people are pressed down by peer pressure and feel beleaguered if he or she is not in the latest fashion. The fashion can go many different ways such as fashion in clothes or shoes, or even a hair style. This is how powerful peer pressure is. Peer pressure only applies to some people not to all.
Shakespeare says to thine own self be true, I think this saying means express yourself how you really feel, not how what other people feel about you. A person can find true friends when he or she is expressing themselves truly. Peer pressure attracts the wrong people most of the time, not including that person trying to act some way for a certain person. So basically act the way you want no matter what people think of you.

Suspension Prompt 6 word count 197
There was a time I was lost and confused, and it was during math class when I was only a sophomore. The math class was so hard that I could not keep up and so I gave up and went to sleep. Then I was sent to the office because I could not follow orders which were to listen to the teacher in class. This led me to suspension, “I have never felt so confused in my life.”
Tuesday, it was 6th period the last class of the day and I was tired because of P.E a due to playing basketball. So by then my arms and legs failed on me, in a way which it can move but does not want to. The subject was geometry and it was one of the hardest lessons out of the whole school year. Everybody in the class did not understand, most of them gave up but did not sleep like what I did. So I was the only one that put my head down and went to sleep due to fatigue. Then the teacher caught me and I was sent to the office. This led to my suspension.

What's my style? Prompt 5 word count 339
1- Micro trends- a style or a rise in a less important fashion in America
2- I think micro trends under 30 and high earners are growing in America because of the constant style changes and trends. It doesn’t matter how old you are now days, if you have the key to success or if someone writes a book about the key to success then you withhold your future. This is the American dream for most Americans now days, and that is to get rich but be young.
3- Hilary Clinton hired Penn for campaign because of his persuading and convincing negotiations. He shows America the latest style or trend and what the average American is doing in this generation. He had the key to change society if he wanted to, people says Penn’s writing is more of a culture because he can blind so good through his writing.
4- The effects of a free society are monopoly, chaos and the freedom to do what ever when ever. Also a style can occur anytime of the year and it can influence anybody anywhere.
5- I think Penn’s book was a published as a political pun to increase the votes of Clinton because there is nothing better then to blind society as well as the Americans. Penn’s writing makes it convincing for Americans to find a leader that will provide to the Americans needs; such as the famous quote “it’s a free country.” So that’s is why it is a double meaning because to provide the needs for Americans and to provide the need for Clinton
6- Yes I do have a micro trend to cite because everything I do and what everybody does has to reflect god. This can be thought as a style to others because of the famous quote, “everybody’s doing it.” The style for school is tucked in shirt and a nice pair of pants everyday. Then for vespers and Sabbath has to be extra special because it will be a reflection of god.

9/11/01 Prompt (4)
It was Sep 11th 2001 going to school on a cold day with some mist in the sky. Today seemed strange everybody looked sad as I slowly walked in the quad. The first thing that comes to mind was “what happened?” so one of my friends said something happened in New York specifically in the world trade center. The twin towers were just shot down by high jacked planes. Strange feelings that came to mind like who, what and why. At the same time I felt very confused but sad for the people that were in New York when it happened.
America should not forget this tragic incident and should be printed in all American history books as a reminder. To all the people that Bin laden connote be trusted and the reason why history books were made was to not repeat history in the first place. So this will go in the books as when we were attacked by terrorist.
There are lots of bad people out there and bin laden was one of them. America should not forgive bin laden but to have peace with people in Iraq and Afghanistan. The people had nothing to do with it; bin laden was the only one behind it. If this situation was negotiated by Christians, there would be a very big opposition then what America would do.

Relaxation p(3)
This weekend was exceptionally long but fun with lots of blessings from friends and staff. I loved the nice windy beach, warm sand and hot sun. The water is cold for the first two minutes but wares off and your body comes to a numbing point. As you get out of the freezing cold water and lay on the soft and white sand, your body comes to nice warm feeling. Almost as if you were on a quiet stranded island relaxing under the sun.
Being able to sit around the camp fire and tell stories was the best part, aside from playing games in the dark with no flashlight. The fire wood always burned slow as everyone tries to warm themselves up after going to the beach. I always wished that time would go by even slower when it comes to sitting around the camp fire. The next camping trip should be even better then the first.

Immigration (p) 2
I Think illegal immigration is OK because everybody is on the same vote when I comes to freedom and looking for a better life. I think that is what the whole country is all about and that is chance. People grow up in America and still become a nobody and a person from another country comes along and makes a business out of nothing. But there is a little problem about too many immigrants and then they demand for a raise and better work conditions. The illegal immigrants are forgetting the fact that they are so lucky to be in the U.S instead of their own country where people are starving everyday with no food and getting water from the roots in the ground.
The roots from the ground are very bitter and some don’t even eat for a week strait. They live by eating coal and because of that many people that live in poor countries die. so the illegal immigrant should never forget that they should not complain what they have or don’t have in the U.S because in other places people don’t have anything at all so they cant even complain.I do not think it is right to send people back to their own country if their root is America because that is just disrespect. One of my opinions are to negotiate about the problems with the illegal immigrants themselves face to face. But another option is to charge a lot of money with lots of test to see if the immigrants are even worthy enough to be in America so we have a guarantee that that person will become a somebody and get a job, not to be a slob.
I do not agree with the stance of president Felipe because he is a negotiator and tried the best he can and got a lot of supports but there are some limits that he cannot pass.
