"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work. If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! If two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? The one may be overpowered, Two can defend themselves.

I like what I see De'ricka, LaKeisha, Jerlesha, Charmaine. We need the rest of you to blog!

Journalism class: Thank you so much for your good spirits and work effort so far in class. We've jumped right into getting this 1st issue of the newspaper ready for print by Friday, 9/12 and you've all been more than cooperative. And, thanks for the patience as we work through the glitches with the technology.

Note: we may only have Wednesday during class to blog in the computer lab. We may not have Thurs and Friday. This means we need to get all our writings typed in the blog on Wednesday (as best as we can)

Lastly, it's sooooo important that we get to class on time in the morning. Class starts at 8:00 am. if you need to show up extra early to be sure to make it through security in time before class starts, please do. Attendance is CRUCIAL.

Take care. See you tomorrow.

*what not to wear*
Lauryn
ok let's see here not everybody can rock what they see other people rock. Like for instint those leggings not everybody can wear them, if you don't feel comfortable wearing them when you leave then its a good idea that you don't wear them. There getting played out anyay though. "BABY TEE'S" is a big one ladies if you kno you got a gut and if you bend over and you can see it then don't wear it because its not cute and if you just have to wear them save then for at home with your man because don't nobody on the streets want to see that. And another things girls don't OVER do it with the bangles, they are cute a FEW of them but don't have them up to your elbows ok. Fellas if your gona rock that with tee please make sure its CLEAN before you try to talk to a girl, cuz thats not cute at all to have a dirty boy ok.

The Hottest TV Shows:

Gossip Girl

Already Gossip Girl has kicked off this season with a bang. The young people including our generation love it, but I can't say the same for some of the parents(older generation). They are concerned about how provacative the show is especially when they are suppose to be our age.

In my oppinion this show is hot, entertaing,and the clothes are amazing.

Extra Info:

If you miss this weeks episode you can watch it this sunday @ 5pm and if your a fan like I am you can now purchase the first season which includes deleted scenes and bonus features.

Signing Off,
Senior It Girl

he lost control, his mind started to go and became very slim

serving while high would be the end of him

one day he got booked, and cellmate turn him and he changed his name to Kim

when he got out life seem to not matter to him

in the end he was where he started and thats the end of Tim

Opinion on jeans
"Skinny legs makes you
look like you got a round
butt and it is slimming."

Accessories:
Bangles are always a simple but cute accessory. Its simple and it goes with anything. Hoop earrings are in style and belts.
Tip: Just make sure not to over do it. Balance it and mix and match.

T.V. Critics:

Even though people have a negatie view on Gossip Girl, its still one of the most viewed shows. Its not a reality show and you should not be stupid and do what they do. You should know wrong from right. I know Gossip Girl is fiction and deals with alot of drama but thats the reason most people watch the tv show. Two words: Stop hating. If you don't like it then simple solution would be to stop watching it.

The man seen the boy the seen the man the man held out an empty pea can and the boy smacked it out his hand. The next day came. The boy seen the man the same but this day the man ask the boy for a dollar. The boy said no loud. The man said, “Why did you have to holla.” The next day came. The man seen the boy the same that same day the boy got shot.
The boy who shot him went to jail. The boy who got shot went to hell. His real name was Tod. He went to hell cause the man with the can was really God.

As he whispers to me, “do you have it?” I say, “It’s in my mom’s room,” and you the reader don’t be quick to assume. So I sneak in my mom’s room to get it from under her bed. My mom tried to hide it. They boy says, “Please come back and sit.” We close the door. We heard someone creek across the floor. I heard my mom’s slippers. The door bust open. Stop. “Oh, it’s just the toe-nail clipper, mom. I can do it myself.” “Aww. It’s ok. I thought it was something else.”

Poetry
Chicago, Ain’t no telling where I’ll go, and pull up in a car so high, with the speakers as my cargo, Haters I make them so mad I guess that’s why I’m popping tags in argo heights with multiple shopping bags full of ice, Real bright, I take quizzes nice exercising my function to handle business right., So I can go and do things like go and buy a house in any state, full of food like candy, ice cream and cake, and fish you couldn’t see in the lake

Current Event Article Topic
September 11, 2001, the day that all hell broke loose and where thousands died, over 3,000 to be exact. It placed a very clear mark in history and will forever be remembered, especially by those who lost loved ones. It’s been seven years since the horrible tragedy and people seem to have gained some control over their emotions. Many memorials where held across the United States today, but mainly in New York. They remembered all the people who lost their lives and all the firefighters who risk their lives to save others. They won’t be forgotten. They will be in memory.
