I would choose to amend the rule, but not get rid of it completely. The rule says no phone usage at all. I would say to allow phone usage if the teacher permits, and in the halls. I agree with sending the students to the office if they use it without permission. Some students do not have the ability to go on Angel at home, and school is the only place they can check it. All the teachers stress on the importance of Angel, and with this new rule, its not easy to get on. In the hallways students use their phone to check the times to make sure they are not late to class. If they can not use their phone to check the time, they could be late to class which halts their education. Another good point in this matter, is the ability to communicate with our parents. Sometimes with lab, I need to be able to tell my mom when its over and whats going on. I can not tell her whats going on with this rule and with the miscommunication she could leave work early when she does not need too. I understand what happened with the immature and childish children, but please do not punish us for them. We are good students with good intentions, so please allow us to prove it to you that phones in the hallways is okay.

Extreme Jujitsu
If I had the chance to redo a sport and make it an extreme sport, I would pick jujitsu. In this version of jujitsu there would be no gloves or helmet or mouth guards. By doing this, the odds of getting a concussion go up exponetially. Also in this form of jujitsu it would take place in a ring that is 50 feet above freezing cold water. So if they are knocked over the ring they would rish hypothermia and even death. Another part of the extreme jujitsu would be that the loser would have to swim to shore which would be quite a distance away, while the winner would be able to be flown to shore. Of course the water would also contain electric eels for an added bonus for the loser. This form of jujitsu would redefine the world of extreme and be the first of its kind to exsist.

My restaurant.
My restaurant would be called Liberum Allergy. That translates to allergy free in english. The restaurant would be all about allergy free foods. Their would be a section on lactose free foods, gluten free foods, citric free foods, and also a vegan section as well. The appetizers would be onion rings, mozzerella al caprese, baked pretzels, and a vegan spinach dip. A main dish would be New york strip with french fries and applesauce. Another would be Stuffed Cabbage with a sausage and tomato sauce. A third dish would be a burger with a side of penne pasta with breadsticks. The final dish would be a alfredo pasta with breadsticks. The desserts would a lemon sorbet with a mint leaf, a choclate icecream cake, an apple pie, and also a coconut date ball cookie platter. All off these dishes are allergy friendly to at least one allergy. I know how bad allergies can be, so I would make a restaurant unlike any other, with allergy free foods.

I am from.
Where am I from?
I thought this thought the other day.
Full of wonder and want,
and never growing smaller.
I thought and thought,
and came to this.
I am from many things,
made only by the past
I am from the six years spent,
five hours every week,
which has shown me what to seek.
Look for truth, and loyalty,
is what karate taught me.
I am from the building blocks
that took so long to place.
Creation and creation,
came on to every space.
I am from the songs I wrote
that can only speak my mind.
The words do ring like a bell
to the melody inside.
I am from the tree
that has always stood to be.
Looking out at the land,
I finally understand.
I am from everything I have seen and been.
I am from my choices and mistakes,
my past and all the aches.
I am from my sorrows, and all the read tomes.
I am from a place, that only I can call home.

Chicken, Horse or Cow.
If I lived two-thousand years ago, and had to choose between a horse, a cow, or a dozen chickens, I would choose the dozen chickens. The dozen chickens would produce eggs for breakfast, so that I could survive. They could also provide meat by killing them. The chickens could also be used for barter in the shops, so you could get ehat you need when you need it. Once the horse and cow are traded though, they are gone for good. So by picking the dozen chickens, I am supplied with food, bartering tools, and even money if I sold them. The dozen chickens offer the most amount of uses compared to the horse or cow. Sure the horse and cow provide transportation, but when they die though, there is no more transportation, or animal. If one of the chickens die, there are eleven more to own and have. In conclusion the dozen chickens are the best choice to make two-thousand years ago when you were offered the choice of the cow, the horse, or the dozen chickens.

PiƱata's fate.
I have been fearing this day. We all have. Today is party day. The day one of us will die. We all have our families to take care of. We all need to survive. Alas though, for that is impossible. For each party, one of us must die. Today is no different.
There is a little girl here, celebrating her eigth birthday. Her favorite character is Spider-Man. She looks incredibly disappointed when she learns Spider-Man was sold the day before. The store clerk, Klair, was trying to cheer her up with everything she had. Finally she had an idea. She pointed at the grouping that consisted of me, Snow White, Batman, and Superman. Instantly she brightened up and was shaking her head fervently. She knew exactly what she wanted now.
Klair started towards us and I was praying to every god and diety I knew of. I could not be picked. If I was, it meant certain, inevitable death. The closer the clerk got to me though, I became more and more worried. She reached for Snow White, and I released a breath I did not know I was holding. I was safe. I was to live another day. Wait though, why was the kid on the verge of tears? Whats happening? Klair put down Snow White, and reached to the left a bit more. Snow white was not the target. I realized all too late what that meant. I felt the movement before I saw her hand. Snow White was not picked. I was.
That was this morning. More precisely, seven hours ago. Seven hours of waiting for my sentence. Seven hours of waiting for death. This was too much. What did I do to deserve this? I was innocent. A few more minutes passed by without sound. When the sound of little feet were coming near, I knew what it meant. It was happening now.
I saw them all file in the room. The birthday girl walked forward and waited for her mother to blind fold her. She then picked up the bat and got into a stance. It was at this moment I saw her nametag. Hannah. This little girl was going to beat me to death. Hannah. I now hate her name, and fear it. She starts the windup. I take a deep breath, but nothing could prepare me for magnitude of the pain I would feel as the bat hit me. I felt my sides bend inwards from the sheer force it held. Before I could even catch my breath, I felt another. One after another the hits came. I instantly knew when I could hold no more. I knew I had moments left. I wanted to live for years to come. I know now, that this is my fate. To be beaten by a girl named Hannah. I heard the final windup. I want to say goodbye to my friend Paige, but thats not possible. So instead I wait for the last hit to happen. BAM!
Her lifeless carboard body fell to the ground. The energetic, always happy piñata was now dead. Never to smile, or laugh again. Her wait was over. She had been picked.
