 I had this teacher named ms finley in the 3rd grade and me, and she had an excellent bond because around that time, I got a disease in my spine, and I was paralyzed for a few months and went fully blind. So while I was In the hospital for about 5 months, she would go and visit me every couple of weeks, and it meant a lot to me because she actually cared and she had got all my classmates to make me get well soon cards, and it really meant a lot to me. To this day, I have so much respect for her and will never forget who she is and what she did for me. And when I had got released from the hospital, she caught me up on all my work and got my grades up, and she would constantly be checking up on me even outside of school. She was a really positive teacher. Without her, I would have probably bombed that school year and fallen behind on my grades, so she really impacted my younger success.

  Have you ever judged without knowing all the facts? What prompted you to make the judgment? How did your view change once you had all the facts?  There was a time when I judged a person because they were marrying my sister, and I never knew this dude, so I thought he was gonna be the average disrespectful boyfriend, but he ended up being the complete opposite then what I thought. He ended up treating my sister with respect and love. She pleased him; I judged him because he didn't look to the part. He didn't look like he would treat her right, but I was mistaken. They are now 10 years married with 3 kids, and she couldn't be happier.

 There is a goal that I set and achieved to graduate high school. I've established that goal since I was a kid in elementary school. I would tell my parents that I would walk that stage one day and get my diploma, which I technically achieved. Besides that walking the stage partly because I graduated in 2020 when covid first came, and everyone was virtual. Therefore, I couldn't walk the stage, but I did receive my diploma on time. I felt a significant relief when I achieved what I always wanted. I felt unstoppable and very happy for myself. It was worth all those hard times in school. It had all paid off.

  1. Bobo Evans and James King allegedly held up a drugstore on December 22nd, at approximately 4 p.m., leading to the shooting death of the drugstore owner, Aguinaldo Nesbitt. 2.

Asa Briggs and Kathy O'Brien, the defense attorneys, cross-examine witnesses to raise doubts about their accuracy and sincerity. Then, they lean heavily on the witnesses' testimony in exchange for plea bargains. 6. Harmon's father comes to visit him in jail; Harmon fee...

 I would not want to be friends with steve because he would set me up for failure. Because that one scene where he threw the rock and basically got his friend beat up was messed up because it wasn't his fault but he got accused. so I feel like he would do some stuff like that and get me into a situation. you cant have backstabber friends like that in your life they just bring negative vibes around you. I feel like he would be the first one to start ratting if things got serious.

My Hobby or what I spend a lot of time doing is building my trucks I have a 2017 Silverado on the nitrous and a 2004 single cab that's in the process of getting turbo'd it used to be on nitrous. I've had the single cab since about 2015 back in high school, is when I got it I went through about 3 motors on it a v6 to a 5.3 to a 6.0, and now I'm building a 6.0 bored out to a 6.2 for it. I really enjoy what I do and what I've built with my hands. It's a really expensive hobby but I don't regret it at all and wouldn't change it for nothing. My 2017 Silverado is a full bolt-on l83 on nitrous runs really good it started out to be just a regular daily driver but I couldn't fight the urge and I started building it. Honestly, my hobby is what got me through high school I had a small part-time job back when I was in high school and would use every penny on my truck which was the single cab because I didn't have the 2017 at the time. I would wake up and go ...

 yes ive went on a trip where it changed the way i look at my life in general. I went to my tias house in the valley and ive never met this lady till then. Well when i was down there her house was decent but it had little huddles around and thats where everybody else slept there was bugs everywhere inside the house, there was houses that werent complete that were just left but still being used and thats what we slept in it was a very small room that i had to share with my cousin that lived down there. His room was litterally the kitchen and the washroom, it was out of my comfort zone although i didnt judge them it was still kinda weird. To me it was like outdated there was no wifi there was no sign of current technology but one thing i noticed was even though they werent as fortunate as the most of us they were extremley happy people. They will greet you in the morning with menudo, pozole and they were all talkitive they will all hold a conversation with anyone. Even though they di...

From what ive read in the book so far i predict that the defendants all get sentenced to life in prison accept Osvaldo. Because hes a minor and he really wasnt that much involved with the murder he was the lookout. The others all get the book thrown at them and get life in prison and steve gets parole. I predict steve gets parole due to him being the main character they either get the best or worst outcome no in-between in stories like this. I also predict that Osvaldo is going to rat them all out down to the tea due to him being the youngest, and most vulnerable. I feel like hes going to be the reason they get alot of time due to his mouth saying everything.

  There was this female that used to live in my old apartments a while back. We used to always fight like it would be bad her parents were always knocking on my door saying that I did this I did that, and I would end up in trouble, I hated the girl. This was when I first moved to Baytown was about 2015, I want to say I was a freshman in high school. Well time passed and we ended up starting to talk as friends around junior year and about 4 years later we have been dating for going on two years. I hated this girl it is just the fact we caught each other at the wrong time in life, it wasn’t our time yet. What I think that got us to become friends before we got together was just both of us maturing, we weren’t the same person as when we were younger.

  The main character Steve is on trial for the murder of an attempted robbery that ended up being a murder. He is in the courtroom and his odds are very low on walking out of there with a light sentence, if I were to give him advice it would be to treat everybody with respect and to acknowledge what he’s done. So don’t expect anyone in the courtroom to be on your side. I would tell him to put a lot of thought into the words that come out of his mouth, one mess up and he’ll be screwed. He needs to address his situation and the crime he’s committed and give his condolences. I’m not saying that he’s going to walk out of there with a light sentence but at least he had a good court appearance and was very proper. Maybe just maybe they might give him parole other than no parole and dying in prison if he would’ve been disrespectful.

       Describe the setting(s) in the story. Can you make any connections to the places(s)? - The setting in the story so far is a court roomand a prison in the beginining. Ive had several connections with a courtroom but not a prison. Ive been in courtrooms several times just in circumstances as bad as him but i have been in the same environment. From when i was a kid going to court to my father because he had some tickets, to me growing up and have to go face the judge several times for my mistakes. Ive went through similar events as him like where hes seeing what everybodys wearing and also when the guard comes in and orders everyone to rise because the judge is walking in. Also to where the judge is explaining that shes going to ackoledge us as humans to when it comes to your concequence while letting you know the states guidelines to get you your proper concequence.

 If you could step into this story, What is the first thing you would do? -If i was in his position i would go through the whole court process and plead not guilty until the end of my sentencing. I wouldnt get disrespectful with the judgeand lets just say i get convictedand get sentencedto life in priosonwith parole, i would do my time and try my best to stay to myself to an extent because then again its prison. so im going to get cora checked right off the bat because i got a astros star tattoo on my body and tango blast owns that placa in prison. So thats gonna be a problem even though im hispanic im getting cora checked regardless. But other than that im just gonna try to stay on good behavior so i dont mess my parole up and end up staying longer then my actual sentencing. I would keep my circle small but really tight with some real trustworthy people and i know would have my back, which is kind of hard to find but i know there out there. 

          Have you ever been in a situation where things were not as you expected? How were you able to deal with the situation? As you look back, are you happy with how you handled the situation? - A situation has I've been in where things arent as I expected is college. I had the mindset that college is like high school where you can slack off during the week and still pass but boy was I in for an eye-opener. It was nothing like high school I got overflowed with homework and though I could finish it the Sunday night it was due and happened to fail that whole semester. The way I dealt with it was learning how to manage my time because at first, I had no time management and that hurt me drastically in class. When I look back and see how I handled the situation I'm proud of how I went about it because now I'm succeding and got it all down on how and when to turn my work in.

     From what you have read so far, what predictions can you make? What makes you think what will happen next? - I read to page 20 and so far it appears about a boy that was trying to commit a robbery and ended up with a murder charge.  So right now he's in court facing the judge and he scans the courtroom questioning his attorney if it looks like he's gonna win and the attorney replies whats his example of winning. Because there are different meanings of winning such as life with parol other than life without parole or 30 years instead of the death penalty. But my prediction is he's going to get convicted and get a life sentence which is 45 years with parol and he's going to write about everything that happens in there until his parole date because he did mention that he was writing a movie in his journal. But then again it is a murder charge and he sounds like a minor so he could get a more minor sentence due to him possibly being a minor. /

 In some high schools, many teachers and parents have encouraged the school to adopt a dress code that sets guidelines for what students can wear in the school building. Some teachers and parents support a dress code because they think it will improve the learning environment in the school. Other teachers and parents do not support a dress code because they think it restricts the individual student's freedom of expression. In your opinion, should high schools adopt dress codes for students? I think students should be able to wear what they want to an extent, meaning they can wear their own outfits as long as it follows the dress code. Example profanity on a t-shirt that's an example of failure to comply with the dress code. If you want to wear jeans and a  t-shirt I think you should be able to. I've been in schools that required dress code in elementary and it was a pain its more simple and faster, cheaper to be able to wear what's in your everyday wardrobe. Instead of ...

A  personal experience i had one time was about a couple months ago. i had recoeved a email from shell and they were asking if i wanted to go out of town to make more money in louisana for a couple of months. Me personally i was seconds guessing it because i wouldnt have been able to be here for thanksgiving, which has always been a big thing in my family. so i was obviously skeptical about the whole situation but i knew if i have went i would be able to buy my girlfriend my mom and dad what they really wasnted for christmas because i would be back in time so i pulled the trigger and went out of town. it wasnt as bad as i though it would have been but it was well worth it. Me and my family were well taken care of during the christmas and new years time even current day it was one of the hardest decisions ive made in my entire life due to me being away from my parents and girlfriend for several months and working 7 days out of the week for that time i was out there. When i returned ...
