The Battle of Bunker Hill


      The Battle of Bunker Hill was legendary because of how massive the war really was. Following the battles at Lexington and Concord, the British returned to a much safer place of Boston. The commander was General Thomas Gage. The word of the bloody encounters in Massachusetts was received with astonishment in England. 
      There were three Alien Laws, laws for foreigners. Those laws helped lift the waiting period of naturalization form 5 to 14 years. The battle was caused by Native American Indians sneaking on a British boat and dumping all of their tea into the harbor. The Battle Of Bunker Hill was a intense battle that will be a part of American history forever.

Facebook

                                                            

             Facebook is a social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook. Facebook is a website that can help you connect with people in your life. It was created by a Harvard student, Mark Zukerberg. Facebook was originally called "thefacebook", but now its obviously called "Facebook..." In a few weeks, Facebook became a nation-wide college interaction website.
             One popular feature is you can upload and share photos by emailing, or plugging your phone in, to get the picture to go on the computer. If someone tells you about Facebook and they use the abbreviation, " FB, " then it means....... Face=F and Book=B. Facebook has an up-side and a down-side, but you'll find that out.......I'm sure!

The Mall

      













           The mall is a place were you can have fun and shop for many accessories. There is usually at least two floors and the food court is usually upstairs, and all the rest of the fast food restaurants are scattered all around. But the one store in particular that I like the most has to be Love Culture. It has different mixes of colors everywhere you look, even the dressing rooms where different colors. The first thing you see are red high heels and beautiful glistening dresses. That store is right by a pretzel shop, so whenever I get done shopping there I will always go to get a pretzel. Going to the mall is always a trip for me. Especially when your  with your friends. And when the store is decorated for Christmas. And the mall. Everyone who goes to the mall knows what I'm talking about.

Rachel's Challenge

                                                                                                                                                                                                        


              Rachel Scott was the first person to be shot in the Columbine High School Shooting. She was a normal 17 year old girl when this happened. Rachel was sitting with her friend Richard Castaldo in the lawn by the library. She was shot in the leg, arm, and head seven times. She was first shot in the leg and then one of the shooters came over to her and asked her if she still believed in God, and her reply was, " You know I do. " and she was continuously shot until she was dead. Later in December 1999, Richard was doing an interview for Time magazine, but he refused to speak of anything about what happened the day Rachel fell victim to the Columbine shooting. The day of the shooting, any chance the students got to run out of the school and make it to safe shelter, they took, cautiously. The smoke from the guns surrounded the school, which made the smoke alarms go off. Soon enough the police and firemen were at the scene. Rachel's brother was in the library with two of his friends and one of them was black. The shooters found the entrance to the library and made a quick plan, kill the black kid. Rachel's brother and his friends hid behind a shelf, but that didn't give them any shelter. They found them and started yelling out racial comments about his color and race. He soon was killed. The shooters heard someone scream out, "HELP!" , so they shot at the wall to make them be quiet. When the shooters had their backs turned Rachel's brother covered himself with his friend's blood spilling out of his body to protect himself from what was coming. His plan worked. He made it out alive, but his sister, Rachel didn't. This day will forever live on, especially for the family of Rachel and the students at Columbine High School. One of Rachel's quotes was, "Don't let your character get camouflaged with your environment. Find who you are and let it stay in its true colors."

Milestone: Interest

      I love baton twirling almost as much as texting. I text like a plow shoveling through snow, I never stop when it comes to something like my friends or family. I do baton twirling recitals and I teach. Even when I had somewhere to go it was always, " Please let me go! I promise I'll get my homework done after. " On many crystal clear nights when we were sitting by the camp fire, I would get my baton out and twirl random things. Until I got tired and I just put it away and I would go to sleep. Then I think of how I got involved in this. It was actually my Aunt Kimmy. She used to travel around the country and compete in compotitions. She's my godmother and I probly wouldn't be here right now. When I signed up and I saw all of my friends, I had a gut feeling that I couldn't mess-up, like a surgeon doing heart surgery, and I couldn't be bad at anything. But I was totally wrong, my friends were exactly what I needed to do better. I guess putting presure on yourself doesn't make you better, it justin makes you worse.

Milestone: Person

       When I was 9, a week before my birthday, I found out a family secret. When you turn double-digits, or ten, you have better luck. I don't think it's true. So when I woke up on my birthday, I smelled the sent of burning candles. I felt so happy when I raced down the stairs to find my whole family waiting for me. Yelling and cheering bounced from ear to ear. Then when I turned around all I felt was cake in my face. Everyone was laughing and I was laughing too! Then I went into my room and got changed into my party dress. When I was getting my eyeliner out I heard my door open. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, it was my best friend that I hadn't seen in 4 years! She was in Washington with her dad for some business trip. " Oh my gosh! It's really you!" We started jumping all around my room with glitter spilling off my dress with my heels about to brake off. Her hands were as cold as a penguin that just jumped out of the freezing cold water. " I missed you so much! And I even got you a present! " cheered and ran down stairs with a hop in her step. As I was waiting i finished putting my make-up. " Mal! Turn around! " she said quietly said. I turn around to see a brand new plasma screen TV! With a Jonas Brothers CD as a side present. " Oh my gosh! This is the best birthday ever! " we both smiled and went back to listening to the Jonas Brothers.
