Halloween

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.

"She worries about whether people actually love her or just feel sorry for her because of the amputation."

     Amputation: To cut off (all or part of a limb or digit of the body), as by surgery 

"She has tremendous willpower and can do anything she sets her mind to,"

     Tremendous: extraordinarily great in size, amount, or intensity

"Mostly, she's stuck in a dark, dreary living space."

     Dreary: Dull; boring.

"I love you for who you are."

    Reeds husband tells this to her after she has her surgery to reinforce that he lovers her and will not     leave her because of this. 

      "She required 26 units of blood to replace what was lost."

The adult human body contains roughly 12 units of whole blood. That means she had to have over two adults worth of blood during the surgery to survive! 

     This article is from the Times Union. I is about a women named Reed who had an infection that most people did not have a chance at fighting. I chose the words and phrases above to show how hard it was for her. It was very hard on her physically, during her surgery "she required 26 units of blood to replace what was lost," also did I mention that she had to get everything below her pelvis removed?! 

     Not only did this have a huge physical tole on her it also hurt her mentally. After her surgery she was "stuck in a dark, dreary living space". She started to worry if people really loved her or just felt "sorry for her because of the amputation." She even told her husband that she would understand if he left her, but he said he would never leave her and that he said "I love you for who you are."

     Reed has a amazing story. She is so much motivation for many people who are going through hard surgery's also. I believe that many people are thankful that she shared her story. She truly does have "tremendous willpower and can do anything she sets her mind to".

Green Eggs and Ham

http://nickupton.hubpages.com/hub/Green-Eggs-And-Ham-Books


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!

G= university of Georga collage of vetenary medicne

This information is from: http://www.vet.uga.edu/

I would want to attend this collage because of the...

1. Hands on: You get to treat real animals. You get to treat small and large animals. The large animals are horses, cattle, pigs and sheep. They treat bout 2,800 large animals a year. 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.
