**Whitney Houston's death was a shock to everyone but I kinda knew it was gonna happen because she was om drugs and of course drugs are gonna kill you. If they don't kill you then they will catch up to you and kill you like a strike ! I will miss Whitney and I'm pretty sure everyone else will to but we all have to go when it is time because we can't live forever. I love Whitney's song "Will Always Love You". There is just something about that song that gets me I don't know what it is but I must go now Ms. Bullock is telling us to shut our laptops down .**

**What would be the perfect Valentine's Gift? Explain …. Would you give this gift or want to receive it ? The perfect gift would be A teddy bear & some chocolates because you can keep the bear and you can eat the chocolates. I would want to receive this gift so I know that I am loved by whoever gave it to me. Valentine's day is a day of love. I love valentine's day on valentine's day the best way to be is single because then you won't have to fuss anybody out or argue with anybody. On my valentine's day I spent it with my family but I had to come to school that was the thing about it. I still had fun although I didn't do what I exactly wanted to do.**

**Finish then anecdote … I looked out the window … the tree leaves gently swayed in the wind, it was another crisp morning. As I sat on the couch and flipped through the TV channels I noticed ….. that someone was standing at the window. I turn my head and then look again at the window and no body was there. I run up the stairs into the closest bedroom and shut the door. I try to forget the image of the stranger that I saw downstairs in the window but I cant because the face seems so familiar. I think harder and finally realize that the face was my uncle that was suppose to be in prison for killing my mother. I am scared to death so I walk across the room towards the phone and then all of a sudden he pops up at the window again. I scream at the top of my lungs and he busts through the window. I turn to run out of the room but he catches me and holds a knife up to my throat and tells me not to tell anyone that he was out of prison. I asked him why he came back and he says to kill my mom for snitching on him.**

**.Free Write.** **Mhm I'll probably hit the party up @ the Boys & Girls Club but idk because there is gonna be a lot of people there. But I don't really like tucker creek kids because they think they are the best school in the whole county but Mr. Wallace tries to be the best principal he can be !!! Also us Trojans are the best because we are better than the rest. Havelock Middle School is the best school ever and that's my opinion !! Idc what anybody say they just hating because we in Wallace hands and they ain't !! Mr. Wallace is a fun principal he gives us freedom if we earn it but otherwise he tries his best to give us what we want and need. That's why I like Mr. Wallace being my principal. Also this is my last year .**

** What would you do if your favorite celebrity were to walk in the door right now? **   ** If Keenan Jackson (YG) was to walk in the door right now I would scream and run to him because Keenan Jackson is just OMG!! He is the best rapper that I know I LOVE Keenan Jackson!! Some of the songs I like by YG are “Beastmode”, “Patty Cake”, “Toot it and Boot it” and some other songs but they are inappropriate for the internet but Ms. Bullock doesn’t want us to put that on the internet because she could get in trouble and I don’t want Ms. Bullock in trouble but honestly that is what I would do if Keenan Jackson walked in the classroom right now!!! **

** Which is better MAC or PC? Explain your thoughts. If you do not know or have a preference then explain which you use more and why. **   ** Wow I actually think macs are better, I have been a pc user my whole life and 2 months ago bought a mac for the first time. it was the best decision ever, its faster, runs better and as for the whole app thing, you can now run pc applications on a mac using boot camp and it is the sort of machine that will be working for the long run. Yes they are expensive but I bought the cheaper white model and I know I will keep my mac for a very long time because it’s the best :) **

** What person has impacted your life the most? Explain who and why. **   ** Those who truly know us for who we are are the people that have the most influence in our lives, such as our parents. In my case, it is my mother who has greatly impacted my life. She has stood beside me through thick and thin. I know that as long as she is here on this earth, she will stand beside me to love and support me unconditionally as she has done all these years. It is because of her that I am who I am today. Behind my choices, my character, my values, and behind me, proudly stands my mother. All throughout my childhood I have been closer to my mom than I am to my father. She has been an amazing friend to me, but an even better parental figure. Laying down the rules for me and establishing boundaries when needed. It is because of the love and respect I have for my mother that I am now cautious of the choices I make. I cherish her approval and fear her disappointment in me. I feel confident that all the life lessons she has taught me and the advice she has given me, will continue to shape my standards and values in life. **   ** .Free Write. **   ** Well I’m glad today is Friday but I have to spend it at home because this morning when I woke up my asthma was acting up and my dad didn’t want me to go to school. But there is one thing I have realized throughout life you will meet one person who is unlike any other. You could talk to this person for hours and never get bored, you could tell them things and they won’t judge you. This person is your soul mate, your best friend. Don’t ever let them go. There is one boy in Havelock Middle School named Rikki and he is Haitian. I dated him once but I think it needs to happen again. Well this is my Free Write and hopefully my asthma doesn’t act up for long so I can go to school Monday and see Rikki and my friends. **

**Name: Sharneka Parker** **Date: Monday 3/5/12** **If I could give a piece of advice to any person in history that advice would be …** **I f I were to give advice it would be to Martin Luther King Jr, because without him we wouldn’t be the way we are today. Some people forget about the dream that he had before he died. Some people still follow his dream and some people don’t. The people that do follow his dream are dreamers that believe in peace. The people that don’t believe in his dream are basically trouble makers that don’t believe in peace. Martin Luther King will always be remembered for what he did to this world. I Love Martin Luther King Jr, if it weren’t for him this world would be a mess!!** **Name: Sharneka Parker** **Date: Tuesday 3/6/12** **Tell about a dream you had. What did it mean?** **I had a dream about becoming a singer. It was a really weird dream because I am shy and I really don’t want to become a singer. I woke up and told my mom and she said whenever she dreamed of things when she was little it always came true right then and there I realized that one day I would become a singer. She burst out into tears and in that case I did to. My mom has been here for me through everything!! There couldn’t be a better mom in the world. I think this poem means to go for the big things but don’t give up on the little things.**

**What was the best lesson my grandparent (parent or relative) ever taught me was …** **My lesson my parents taught me was to forget about boys and get an education before I think about any babies or etc. My mom and dad are just the best parents in the best world because they want you to get you’re education first and then worry about the other things that high school will prepare you for. Boys are immature and some of them need to grow up like dead up!! But these days they are very RATCHETT!! It’s just ridiculous the way they treat us girls these days they need JESUS in they life. I’m not going lie some girls be acting the say way but it’s basically the boys that be acting like they ain't got no home training!!** **Name: Sharneka Parker** **Date: Thursday 3/8/12** **What is something that really bugs you and why?** **Something that really bugs me is when someone asks me the same question over and over again. Because why would you ask me the same thing and you are going to keep getting the same answer. And when someone asks me the same question I start giving them stupid answers. If they keep doing it then I would get aggravated and catch an attitude because it’s really stupid to ask the same question over and over again!! You should realize that you’re going to get the same answer over again!!** **Name: Sharneka Parker** **Date: Friday 3/9/12** **.Free Write.** **Well today is ½ and I am so glad because I get to go home and go back to sleep. I am so tired when I have to wake up @ 6:00 am every weekday morning!! That’s why when the summer time comes I going to be in the house sleep because I am not feeling on getting black during the summer! Spring break needs to hurry up because I’m kind of getting tired of school because the DRAMA is!!!!! It just stresses me out very bad because I’m in the middle of some of the freaking drama!! Well I hope today goes good because I am bored right now but eventually Modocia or somebody will make me laugh in a couple of minutes !!**
