Summer time

      Summer is probably every high schools students favorite part of the year. The warm sun, the crowded beaches, no homework, and spending time with friends. To me that sounds like such a great time. High school is so stressful and a lot of work, but summer is just the time to relax. Some fun things people would do over summer is go on vacation,or go to the beach all the time, go to the mall, go to disneyland. There I just an endless amount of things to do with no time limits. That's what I love about summer is there's no worries on turning things in on time or making sure to not over commit yourself. No matter what I always seem to be so busy over summer though because have to start training for sports and doing stuff for NCL, I haven't had a summer where I to absolutely nothing for about three or four years. I also kind of find it difficult to keep in contact with friends and family that don't live as close. Summer is a great time to try something new though, me personally I've always wanted to learn how to surf. I think I might do that with my friend this summer which would be even more fun. I would also like to get back into tennis because that was my main sport before starting high school and I has a lot of fun with it, so I think it would be nice to get back into that too.

Mother's Day

 Since today is Mother's Day, I'm going to talk moms and all they do for us. Me personally, I am so grateful for my mom since she has given me so much and has helped me through a lot of things and honestly I think I have helped her through a lot of things to. That's what I love about our relationship, we help each other. I find it strange when people talk about how much they dislike their mothers and how annoying they are. I do admit, I do get annoyed sometimes with her, but what teenager doesn't. These people say things that are so uncalled for and are really frustrating. For example, when kids are like, you have no right to tell me what to do, when in reality there job is exactly that,and to help us make the right choices in life so that when we go off on our own we can make these decisions ourselves based on what our parents have taught us. So basically what we do on Mother's Day is to honor our mothers and all the hard work they have done to raise us as children of respect, love, compassion, friendliness, and most importantly as children of God. Moms deserve the one day of celebrating them, but it shouldn't be just one day it should be all year of being grateful and loving your mother. Happy Mothers Day!

Gun Control

Awhile ago a Colorado corrections chief was gunned down at his home, and police are now on the hunt to find the man who did this. They are not quite sure whether this was just a random act of violence or something related to his job as a prison guard.these attacks are small in number but are increasing every year. Since 1950, 133 men in this line of work have been killed. These events bring a wake up call to legal officials, prosecutors, and the nations judges because people are out there for revenge and will find a way to get it.While Clements generally kept a low profile, his killing comes a week after he denied a request by a Saudig national to serve out the remainder of a Colorado prison sentence in Saudi Arabia.Clements also recently requested chemicals to execute Nathan Dunlap, who was convicted of killing four people during a 1993 shooting. Any people close to these men could have been out there to get back at Clements. My opinion on the situation is that these men that are in these type of work places need to be on much higher alert and using Clement's situation as example, they can't just open there doors to anyone. There are greater precautions that can be taken up to keep these men safer like adding higher security or keeping a closer eye on the men and women that are held in these situations. Overall this all comes back to gun control, which is a much more in-depth topic. We need to DIMINISH these incidents by having people need to take more initiative in being careful who they hand guns to because you never know if that gun will be taking a persons life.
