RE: Kelsey

This quote is from Kelsey Mckeon's free response titled Little Princess.

The princess was the outcast; no one talked to her because she just was not a normal teenager. While the princess was moping in the corner about what was supposed to be a spectacular night, she was tapped on the shoulder by....

After reading Kelseys post I was both enthralled by the story but then again it pissed me off. She did such a great job getting the reader into the story and into the life of this princess. She made you feel as if you were living in the shoes of the princess by using lots of sensory details and lots of emotion. But what angered me about the story is that there wasnt an end. I read the story very excited to find out how it could end but Kelsey left it up to the readers imagination. After reading it multiple times of come up with many conclusions such as maybe it was a prince, or maybe it was her parents who found out she left, or maybe it was just someone asking her of she could move but I still do not know. But then I thought about it and Kelsey wrote the story just for that very reason. She didnt want to tell the ending because there is no fun or imagination in that. She painted a picture in the minds of the readers and let them take that picture in any which way their minds could ever imagine.

Wildfires

When will the wildfires in Texas stop? Texas has been hit with a terrible drought this year and to top it off they now have to face one of the worst wildfires to ever hit the state. There are over 67 different wildfires spreading across the huge state, and firefighters all across the country are joining together to stop them. More than 1000 homes have already been destroyed and this number is still on the rise. The fires have taken over more than 26,000 hectares. Thousands upon thousands of people were forced out of their homes and had to seek refuge. Local gyms and hotels are providing rooms and beds for the people left without their homes.
This event has made me think a little bit and made me wonder about how a huge catastrophe like this gets resolved. Of course the main goal is to make sure everyone is safe and the fire gets put out. But what about the peoples properties? What about businesses, or offices? How can anyone ever afford to replace something that they already have worked so hard to obtain in the first place? Does the government step in? Can insurance cover everyone’s losses, or are some going to be left stranded? The fact is that I’m sure I’m not the only one that wants answers to these questions. This country's economy is already going down the drain, so does a hit like this mean drastic measures to get things fixed? Is this country going to be able to come together as one and help the person next to them? I know that I was raised to believe that this country is united and that we are all in this together and I really hope that is true. All I can say is that my prayers go out to those that are affected by these fires and I wish the best for all.

Myself

Let me kick off my new blogger I account with my first post telling a little bit about myself. My name is Frank Muzio, I was born and raised in Alameda. I am of Italian and Portuguese backgrounds. I have one older sister named Alex and with our parents split up when we were around 7 me and her have become really close because no matter what we were always together. I was blessed with having the opportunity to grow up with 4 grandparents until the end of sixth grade when my grandfather on my mom’s side passed away from lung cancer. Also I’ve been blessed to grow up with many pets as a young one such as dogs, birds, fish and many reptiles.
I grew up playing many sports such as golf, baseball, basketball and football but I grew to love football. I’m going into my fifth year and was recently named varsity team captain. I play multiple positions such as line backer, safety, running back and fullback. With this being my senior season I hope to lead my team to a NCS championship and hopefully earn a scholarship to play in college.
Another thing that one may not know about me is that I am aspiring to be a marine biologist. As a young boy my dad would take me to different parts of the California coast and we would explore the tide pools. From crabs and shell fish to small fish and salt water plants I got to experience it all at a young age. Ever since then I’ve had questions about marine life that I would love to learn. I’ve been snorkeling many times and will soon obtain a scuba diving license and under water life seizes to amaze me.
Well that’s just a little bit about me. You got to learn about my family, what I like to do with my time (besides school) and u got to see what I hope to do with my life.
