I took off my Halloween costume, washed the paint off my face, put on my pajamas, brushed my teeth, and went to bed. I was almost asleep when I first heard the sound. I opened my eyes and sat up on the bed. "Hello?" I wispered. A cool wind blew against me. I got up from my bed to close my window, but it was already closed. I warped myself up in my snuggie and tried again to fall asleep. About ten minutes later I herd the noise again. It was a scratching noise. Like someone in ice skates was dragging their feet against my wooden floor. I got up to turn my light on, but this time it was louder. I got up from my bed to turn my light on, but the power wasn't working. I glanced out my window and all of the other houses on my street had power and were fine. I ran to get a candle to put next to my bed. When I lit the candle it helped get rid of the coldness in my room. I crawled back into my bed. Then suddenly without warning the coldness came back only it was so cold this time I thought my fingers and toes were going to fall off. The fire that was in my candle blew out. I started to get scared and struggled to breath in the cold. Things started to get fuzzy. I got up and ran out from my room. My legs were weak and my lungs felt as if they were going to shatter. The farther I ran the harder it got to move. I tried to escape from my house but the door handle was burning. I tried to grab it but I had to let go. I felt a sensation on my hand of a sharp pain and blood dripping from my new sores. I started to scream. I banged on the door, I tried to break the windows but I could not escape. I feel to the ground. My skin all over my body was turning purple. The only was I was able to see was from the moon light coming in through my glass window. As I was laying on the floor thinking I was about to take my last breath when the clock tuned on. It said it was 12:00 and suddenly the coldness seeped away and the power was back on. My skin tuned back to its normal color and I could breath with ease.
That night I could not sleep. I started awake with the lights on pondering over what had just happened. I decided to look up on the computer anything about haunted houses. Nothing compared to what I have experienced. Until I looked up ghosts stories. Apparently each year on Halloween a ghost of a young sad girl haunts on people who don't appreciate life, but its only for Halloween. If you make it passed 12:00 congratulations you survived. So if you don't believe in ghosts, maybe you should think again.

Green Eggs and Ham
No matter how old I get I will never be to old to read green eggs and ham with the family. This book is a classic, I still remember my brother and I sitting down together to read green eggs and ham. I learned to read fromt his book. This is the book that got me familiar with words. From this book I learnd what words look like and how they work together to make sentances. Everyone I know is familiar with the book Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss. They all love the way the words flow and rhyme. The way they say Sam does not like green eggs and ham is just very catchy and memorible. This book has a wonderful and memorible meaning that is you don't know if you like something if you never try it. Espically with food! My brother is always hesitatnt to try new foods, but when he does finaly try it, he loves it! When ever this happens I always think of the book Green Eggs and Ham!

The small animals you get to treat include dogs, cats, rabbits and birds. They treat about 16,000 small animals a year.
2. Technology: They have very modern technology. They have technology on anatomy and radiology. In this they have the highest possible level of profession. There education on anatomy and radiology is at its highest levels.
3. Pathology: They have a course on pathology, which is the "study of nature, causes, and effects of animal disease". I like that they have this course because it seems very interesting and I would be willing to take it.
4. Veterinary Extern Program: THis is a special program in the collage. They let juniors and seniors of the veterinary school apply. In this program the students get to do wildlife disease study. They get to study national and international basis where diseases may interact among wildlife, domestic livestock, and poultry.
5. Staff: This collage has many highly qualified teachers. You are able to contact the teachers easily if there are any problems. There are about 159 faculty members and 372 staff members. I like to know that I am being taught by people who are qualified to teach others.
I would not want to attend this collage because...
1. Courses: This collage does not offer veterinary technician or assistant programs.
2. Location: This collage is in Georgia, and that is to far away from my parents house. This collage is about 14 hours away from there house, if i go to collage I wouldn't want it to be 14 hours away from my family.
3. Size: This website makes this collage seem small. On this site there is information about a campaine they are doing to get money donated to get a bigger facility. I can tell that this will not be completed anytime soon because they are not even half way there. If I go to a collage I want it to be completly built and not needing any major upgrades like that.

I think that this picture is worth 1000 words because it is so different and interesting. You are used to seeing people play with cats and dogs, but bears? You picture bears as a dangerous animal that will hurt you. When you look at this picture of the little bear cub it looks harmless and even cute. This picture makes you want to smile because you an almost feel the joy that the girl is having playing with this bear. I think this picture has a lot of meaning. I think that the meaning is that thing can be misleading. You really need to get to know someone or something to know the truth about it. Like I said before people picture bears as dangerous and scary, but yet here is a little girl playing with a cute bear cub unharmed and having a great time.

My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok
My name is Morgan, the Morgan, about whom you have read in newspapers and magazines, about whom you talk so much at your dinner affairs and cocktail parties, the notorious and legendary. Yes, I'm the Morgan that you hope will never be your child. I was never the same sense the accident. I apparently got in a car crash, but I don't remember it, I only remember waking up in a hospital. I had to learn what happened to me through strangers in white gloves and green gowns. I had to learn that I broke my back through people I have never met before. I had to learn that I will never be able to walk again when I had no one there for me. But worst of all the only thing I learned myself was that I would not be competing in the Olympics. Not this year or any years after that. I was going to be famous, I was going to be a big star. But now, I'm nothing. I am now just a "wanna be". I was supposed to be a great gymnast and win gold. That is what was supposed to happen in my life. Everything got ruined because that one person. That person who ruined my life and he just walked away with a few scratches. I did everything right, he was the one that ran the red light. Why am I the one that needs to pay for what he did? I am now stuck in a chair on wheels. My upper body works, just not my legs.
When I can't sleep at night I sing to get my mind off of everything. I sing because there's nothing else I can really do. One night my mom herd me singing and came in. She told me that "I have a gift. A real gift." She said this with a tear in her eye. "Even though you can't be in the Olympics does not mean you can't be in any other competition". After that she got up from my bed, kissed my forehead and left my room. I was up most of the night thinking about what she had said to me. Maybe someday I will be talked about again, but this time for greatness.

http://blog.timesunion.com/dogtraining/
Jody Diehl is a certified dog trainer. She says that when you dog is "not being bad [it] is being good and is rewardable". I do not totally agree with that. I agree in her argument of properly rewarding your dog when it obeys you, but I do not agree on the way she gets her dog to obey her. The way she does it is if she is just going about her day and asks her dog to do something, she rewards it. I do agree with that but only on a certain level. I think that would deserve a good scratch but not a treat or food. I have been to many professional trainers for my dog, and each of them believe you should have a certain time that you really focuses on training with you dog. Your dog should be on the leash focusing on you.You should have a session with your dog, even its just five minutes.If you want your dog to be successful, you should have sessions with it and give you dog your full attention and get the dogs full attention too.

http://www.timesunion.com/living/article/Here-s-a-message-Texting-can-hurt-2197151.php
I read the article "Here's a message: Texting can hurt". This article was written by Lynda Shrager. This article is about the danger of teens over texting. Not only do teens walk into poles and get hit by cars daily, there are also other hazards that come with over useing your cell phone. Research shows that you can get blackberry thumb and cellphone elbow. Blackberry thumb is pain in the thumb and wrist. Also you can get a snaping sensation when you straighten and bend your thumb. This is from useing your thumbs to text on such small keybords on you phones. Cellphone elbow is from holding you phone up to your ear from long periods of time. This happens because when you hold your phone up to your ear your elbow is bent in a 90 degree angle. This presses on a nerve and decreases blood flow. The symtoms of this is numbness or tingleing in the pinky or ring finger, which can lead to the loss of strength, mobility and cordination. Also you can get a sore neck and shoulder. This is from when you keep your fone in between your cheek and shoulder. When you do this you raise one shoulder and bend your neck in an awkword possision. this can cause spasms in the neck and numbness or tingling in the arm.
This article also included ways to avoid the dangers of over useing your cellphone.When you text use one hand to hold the phone and the other hand to use your index or pointer finger to text, instead of useing your thumbs. When you type long E-mails, use the computer. The bigger keybord of the computer is better for you then useing the small keybord on a cellphone. Also another way to avoid the dangers of over useing your phone is when you are talking on the phone for a long time use a ear piece. This will help you not get cellphone elbow and it will also stop you from getting a sore neck and shoulder. This article did give alot of interesting and useful information. You should not use your cellphone to much because it can be dangerous. Teens have been over using there cellphones and if they must continue to do that then they should know tips to help keep them away from the risks of dangers that come along with it. Although this article did leave me with some questions:
1.) How did they do this experement?
2.) Are there certain keyboards on phones that are better for you then others?
3.) How much is over useing your phone?
4.) What should you do if you experiance any of the symtoms from over using your cellphone?
5.) Does age effect the risk you hae of experiancing the symptoms of over using your cell phone?

Opinion Prompt 8 - Skinny models are setting a bad example for teenagers.
Taking diet pills, plastic surgery and throwing up after you eat. This is what is happening to teenage girls. They see these models in magazines and they think that they should also look like that if they want to be pretty. They don't realize that most of the pictures are photo shopped. They also don't understand how horrible it is to starve you body from the food that you need to grow and be healthy. All the teenagers want too look like the skinny blond girl in the magazine, its hard to find a healthy, muscular girl in school anymore. I think that skinny models are setting horrible examples for teenagers. I admire the models who like there body and know its okay if they don't weigh 90 pounds and its fine if they aren't a size 00. Girls have no pride about there body if they don't look exactly like a women in a magazine, they all want to alter the way there appearance is and they don't realize how beautiful they were to begin with. Girls now need to understand that they don't need to be super skinny like the pictures to be beautiful and feel good about themselves. They need to be told more often that they are strong, amazingly stunning young women and should love there body the way it is.
