1. My Mom: I'm very influenced by my mom because she has been through a lot in her life and has always taught me to be an individual and to never rely on anyone but yourself. After my parents got divorced my dad left my mom with my sister and I. She was working full time and with all the bills from the divorce money was really tight. But we all worked together to make it through. I look up to my mom because she has achieved so much in life and I hope to do the same. 
2. My sister Kiely: My sister Kiely influences me a lot because she has helped me with so much in the past few years. We used to not be very close but now since were both older we are best friends. I couldn't ask for a better sister and I love her with everything I have. She is 18, gets straight A's, Is attending the high school, works till 11 pm every night, stays up till 2 am to do homework and gets up at 5 am. She does so much and I honestly don't know how she handles it all, I know I wouldn't be able to. She does a lot for me too, like giving me rides places since I don't have my license or a car. I love my sister. 
3. My Step Dad Rich: I admire my step dad because he is such a hard working guy. He worked 3 jobs over 100 hours a week before he had a heart attack almost 2 years ago. He is going to college now to be a paramedic and get his degree but he also does a ton of home improvement around our house to fix it up. He calls my sister and I his "Bonus kids" not his step kids. He does so much for our family and has been even before he was married to my mom. I know he loves me and will do anything to protect me. 
4. Teen moms: I look up to teen moms because SOME of them are really great people. Personally I wouldn't want to have a baby when I'm still in high school but the people who I do know who have kids are amazing parents. They work part time, go to school, some even college, and do anything they can for their kids. I think that since they have kids so young it teaches them a lesson to become more mature for the future. 
5. My Teachers: I look up to a lot of my teachers from ALC because they do so much for us kids. They understand why we don't perform well in regular high school and they respect that. They can see the kind of people we are going to become and they help us become those people. I really appreciate all the help and work that all the teachers do for me. I think that going to ALC was the best decision I've ever made when it comes to school and I thank every one of my teachers for showing me that I can make it.

A 7 year old girl, Jorelys Rivera from Altanta, Georgia disappeared on Friday, December 2nd around 5:00pm from the playground by the River Ridge apartment complex where she lived with her family. Her body was discovered in a dumpster. She had been sexually assaulted, stabbed, and beaten. She died from blood force trauma to the head. Earlier today Atlanta police arrested a suspect for the murder of Jorelys. They had believed that the suspect was someone who lived in the River Ridge apartment complex. No further details are in.

I find this article very sad because the girl Jorelys was an innocent 7 year old and some pervert overpowered her. I think that pretty much anyone would agree with me that not only sexually assaulting someone, especially a helpless 7 year old and murdering her is a terrible crime and it really hits heart when you think about it.

Jorelys Rivera, 7 years old. 

Blogging assignment 8

Since this is such a short grading period I'm working extra hard to get my hours and try to keep getting top hours. This is really hard for me to do because I work after school everyday from four to nine and when I get home I'm usually too tired to do any homework. I don't really do a lot of work at home, but whenever I get the chance at school to do so I take advantage of it. Like on thursdays I try to stay focused and get a lot done. I also do a lot of e2020 which helps get me extra hours. Since I work so much I end up getting 40 elective hours a grading period for work experience. I know that I don't need to be doing so much work and getting so many extra hours but I want to keep it this way. It makes me feel good about myself and accomplished when I see how many hours I got every grading period and seeing my picture on the top hours.
