Gift Cards

What are your thoughts? Would you rather receive a gift or a gift card? What would you rather give?

To me it really doesn't matter. Some people are picky, and can't make up their mind on what they want. So they would rather someone give them the money than buy them something and they not like it.

CHS Show Choir

The last performance of the CHS Show Choir that I heard was from the Veterans Day Program. They sounded great. I love hearing them sing.

Haunted Houses

I don't really believe in haunted houses either.

Halloween Costume

I don't really celebrate Halloween. So i'd rather not really comment on this particular blog.

Thanksgiving Holidays

I had a great Thanksgiving Holiday. I played with my nephew and I got to spend time with my sister and husband. I also got to meet my next to the oldest sister boyfriend. My mom made some great dressing and greens. It was GREAT!!

Christmas Shopping

I am not really planning on getting a gift no one but my mom and maybe my grandma. I love all of my family, but I don't have a job, I can't get everyone a gift, but maybe one day I will be able to.

Free Write

Ms.Gay, I had a great weekend. My sister and I spent time putting up the Christmas Tree and decorating for Christmas.

Future Business Owner

If you could start your own business tomorrow, what would it be?

I would not start my own business if I had the chance. Although I like taking challenges, I think that starting my own business is stressful.

Grandmother Gives Birth to Daughters Triplets

I believe that this was an extra-ordinary situation. It is nice to know that her mother was able to help her give birth to her own grandchildren. It is a miracle and hope the best for this family.

50th Blog

I have know idea what my life will be in 50 years, non the less in 5. I hope that I will be retired and living good and in good health.

Veterans Day

Veteran's Day to me is when you give credit to those men and women who gave their life fighting for this country and our rights.

30 Year Anniversary Jonestown

What I have just read is very overwhelming. I can't believe that anyone could hurt so many people and not feel bad or have any sympathy about what they did.

Ms.Gay, I really don't know how to write on this blog because it is so hurtful.

Tyra Shocks Parents

What are your thoughts on these results? Do you believe them or not based on your experience and here at CHS? What does CHS need to do to educate and prevent these statistics from being so high?

Ms.Gay, I don't know what to say about these statistics. I can only hope that people learn from their mistakes as well as others. I believe that no matter how well you educate teens on sex prevention, some of them will not listen. Some of them think that they are grown and that no one can tell them what to do.

Favorite Christmas song

My favorite Christmas song is "This Christmas" by Chris Brown.

Future Car

I do not believe that it is the car of the future. If it was I would want to drive/fly it. I wouldn;t even be able to afford it.

Confidentiality

NO!!!! I would not share my personal information with anyone, especially online. I feel as if you can't trust anyone. You never know whether or not if some is scamming you and just getting your personal information for their personal reasons and pleasures.

Free Write

Ms.Gay I don't really have anything to talk about. I am going to finish my exam and call it a DAY!!!!!

Trojan Weekend

I did not go to the game but I am glad that the Trojans won the game. I hope that they win Friday against Chapel Hill!!


LETS GO TROJANS!!!!!!!

My Weekend

I had a great weekend. I got to make paper mocha with balloons for our Christmas Float for the parade.

Dream Vehicle

If you could buy any vehicle you wanted today regardless of price or availability, what would it be?

If I could buy any vehicle I wanted regardless of price and availability it would be a 2008 Mustang

Electoral versus Popular Vote

What are your thoughts on the electoral vote? Is it a fair system?For example, since McCain won in Georgia, the votes of those in Georgia that voted for Obama didn't count. The same goes for those in Virginia that voted for McCain.By the way, I am disheartened at the election results (I will support my moral values regardless of the economy and race.), but .... SO glad we can finally quit hearing all this political hype. I'm ready for there to be real news instead of election banter. This should be the last political blog for awhile. =) I am very excited that both Saxby Chambliss (R) and Jack Kingston (R) both won in the Senate and House!


I don't really understand the rules for popular vote and electoral votes. I am just glad that this election is over and done.

Free Write

Ms. Gay, I had a great weekend. I went to church and went and had dinner at my moms best friends house. She is a great cook.

Living a Long Life

No Ms.Gay I do not believe in those things so I don't really care to comment about them.

Free Write

Ms. Gay, I believe that you should open your own Bakery Shop. The desserts you make and create look so unique and exquisite.

Compliment

What's the best compliment anyone has ever given you?

The best compliment that anyone has ever given would be when they told me how nice that I am to all those around me.

Kid's Ball

My thought on this article is that the police should not have interfered inhte situation. I believe that the father should have been an adult and went and talked to Jester instead of taking his childs word for it.

Baby Names

If you had a child tomorrow, what would you name it?

If I had a child tomorrow and it was a girl, I would name her Michelle Janae' and if it was a boy I would name him Micah Isaiah.

Last Presidential Debate

If you didn't watch, why didn't you? What did you do instead?

I did not watch the presidential debate. I did not watch it because I want to church and when I got home my mom decide to have a conversation with my sister and I. Although I did not get to watch it my mom did. I also did not watch it because I was into hearing them blame each other for the problems of our economy. So instead of watching it, I cleaned up, iron clothes, took a bath, and went to bed.

Act Of Kindness

What do you think about this incident? Have you ever had anything like this happen to you before? Have you ever did this for someone else? What are some simple random acts of kindness you could do to make the world a better place?

I think that the incident was AMAZING!!! I believe that they young guy was being kind because of your religion. I believe that they were of the same religion and they believe in treating women with respect. No, I have never had anything like that happen to me before. I mean I have had the door opened for me before, but not anyone paying for my food. No, I have never did this for anyone, but naybe I will be able to one day.

Free Write/My Weekend

This weekend was a great one. I went to Fitzgerald on Saturday for a scholarship banquet. On Sunday I went to church, and then I went back at 3 o'clock for an young ushers anniversary. On Monday night, we had to go to church for a Revival, but I did not go because I was waiting in my mom and dad to come home from their Anniversary trip in Florida.

Presidential Debate

I believe that the Presidential Debate was okay. I'm not really into debates. It's not that I don't care about the economy or the world, but I don't really care to hear them.

Goals Update

Look back at your very first posting on this blog. Have you met any of the goals on your list at this point? Do you need to revise (add or take off) the goals? Did you meet all the goals you set for 1st 9 weeks grades? Explain.


Yes, I have mete some of my goals at this point. No, I do not need to take off any goals, I probably need to add on to them. I did meet all the goals that I set for the 1st 9 weeks. I passed all required classes, made a new friend, went to homecoming, improved my attitude, and I WILL graduate in May of 2009.

Sleep

How late do you typically stay up? Can you tell a difference in your school work when you go to bed early or stay up extremely late? Explain.


I usually stay up until about 11:00 or 11:30. No, I cannot tell the difference because to me I still function the same way as if I went to bed early, so time does not make a difference.

Candy Corn

Have you ever tasted one before? What do you think about them? Do you plan on buying a package of these kisses this Halloween season?

No I have not tried the new Hershey's Kisses Candy Corn, but they look like they taste great. Yes I would like to try to purchase some of these candies because they look appetizing.

Lottery

If you won a million bucks in the lottery, what would you do? (Although Ms. Gay does not condone the lottery...gambling can become an addiction that ruins lives.)


If I had won a million dollars, I would go on shopping spree. Not only would I go on a shopping spree, but I would also set some aside for college and future references such as housing and a car. That's what I would do.

Economic Crisis

What are your thoughts on the economic crisis ? Should there be a bailout by the government? If the bailout is not passed, what do you think is going to happen? Why are these corporations failing?


My thoughts are that the government should help them, but not to the full extent. If the businesses do not try on their own, then the government should no thelp either.

My Weekend

What all did you do this past weekend? Go to the game in Moultrie? Go to church? etc.

This past weekend I got my hair done and babysitting. I did not go to the game in Moultrie but i did call and congatulate some of the team players. Yes, I did go to Sunday school yesterday and I had a good time.

Army Reps

How did yesterday's Army representatives influence your future choices? Are you now contemplating an army career after high school?

My career choices are still the same. The only thing different, is that I was planning on letting them pay for my going to college but now I have changed my mind. I have decided to just go and pay for it by receiving scholarships and grants.

Legal Drinking Age

Channel One has recently been talking about the push by some to change the legal drinking age. Should it be changed from 21 to 18? Why or why not? Pros and cons to the change?

I do not believe that the legel drinking age should be lowered because some teenagers are not mature enough to handle the effects of it. Drinking it can give you poor blood circurculation and you coould have trouble breathing.

Stay on Top

"Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there."
What does this quote mean to you?

This quote means that even if you are on the right track, you can still get left behind if you just sit there and wait for others.

Last week's College & Career Speaker

What was your overall impression of the speaker? Did you enjoy the presentation? Do you think the speaker's presentation will aid you in your post secondary (college, tech, trade school, military, etc.) and career choices? What didn't you like about the presentation? Should Ms. Gay continue having speakers come into our class?

I believe that the speaker did very good. He was able to help me to decide whether or not if I wanted to go to college or tech school. This experience was great and I learned about things that I had never heard before.

Being Followed

How would you handle being constantly followed by someone? Would you welcome or resent the protection? Write on paragraph (5 sentences +) describing your thoughts.

I would not be able to handle being followed by someone. I believe that if I was to be followed, it would make me fell as if I am being stalked. It would make me feel like who is ever watching me, that they are planning on doing something bad. It would also make me feel as if I can not be trusted by my parents or by who ever is my gaurdian. Sometimes I feel as if being watched is a good thiing because at least you know you are protected.

Dog Saves Owner

I think that the dog was pretty smart. The owner trained him very well in the scence that when there is trouble, he can can for help. If I was the dispatcher, I would Have thought that someone was calling making a prank. I think that he dog was very heroic.

Homecoming 2008

I enjoyed Homecoming this year. Although I did not go to the parade, I did go to the game. The game was AWSOME. The Trojans won 24 to 0. I also went to the dance. The dance was pretty good, but it was kind of hot. This is my SENIOR year and i'm going to enjoy it.

Abandoned Baby found at Beijing's Bird Nest toilets

I don't know why the mother left her baby in the Beijing's Bird Nest toilets. I feel as if she did not want the baby, she should have gave it up for adoption or sent it to an orphanage.

Love Quote

It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson.

I do agree. I believe that when you love some one and then you lose them, at least you will know
how they felt about you, instead of not having loved at all.

Brittney Spears & the VMAs

I did not watch the VMA's, but I can say that I honestly cannot judge Brittany Spears. Whatever she is going through maybe she'll get better and become a better person in society.

Sick Days

I think that this will affect students in the scence that some teachers may not grade the work right and the students end up having missing grades and other work. I also think that it might affect some teachers in that the other teacher may not teach the lesson as they would have wanted it to be taught, and that they get behind in lesson plans.

Opinion of Blogging

So far, I do like blogging. It is a fun way to express my feelings in a positive and nice way, without being rude.

Pet Peeve

My Pet Peeves are as follows:

1. peopple who clack their pens
2. people aggravting other people
3. people making weird noises with their mouths and other objects

Female VP

Republican presidential nominee John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate last week. What are your thoughts on his choice? How will it affect his campaign? Do you think Hillary Clinton's supporters will be drawn to McCain since Palin is a female?

I feel like he made his choice because of the fact that Barak Obama did not chose Hilary Clinton aas his VP. I feel like it MIGHT affect him in the scense that the women that voted for Hilary will vote for Palin.

Teen Pregnancy

As everyone has observed, teen pregnancy has been on the rise over the past 2 years. Why do you think this has happened? Is it related to peer pressure? Accidental? Planned?

I believe that pregnancies are not accidental. Sometimes I do believe that they are planned. At times I do believe that peer pressure does have a lot to do with it. Some teens feel like if their friends are doing it, then they should also. Not is it the friends, but it is also the boy's. Boy's pressure girls to get them to do things they don't want to do, and sometimes if they're not strong enough, then they will give into their weaknesses. Some pregnancies are also planned because girls and boy's know the consequinces of their actions when choosing to engage in sexual activities, and some are planned because feel as if because they can take care of one for someone else, that they can take care of one of their own.

Learning so Far

One thing that I have learned how to do is to create a blog. It was a great and fun experience.

Unexpected Break

I was really upset that I missed school. Because I live in the country it's kind of boring. While I was on break though, I had enough time to spend time with my nieces and nephews.

Weather

I am concerned with the weather because I do have family members in Florida who are being affected. I am hoping that they are ok and that they will be safe.

Assembly

i felt that the assembly was good. i feel as if the words and the meanings of the words were important. They stressed the importance of keeping a positive attitude and being yourself .

Behavior without Ceo's/Managers present

While we were in class, we were a little rowdy, we tended to want to leave class often,but we got our work done. Some were slower that than others,but it got done. (i can say it for the people on my row)

Cheating

I feel as if cheating is unnecessary. I believe that if you study hard and believe in yourself, thenyou can do anything you want.

Thoughts on the Olympics

My thoughts on the Olympics being held in China is that it's great. I believe that we should host it all over the world instead of in one country. I feel as the killing of the American will not affect the friendship between the Americans and the Chinese.
