First a friend who is trustworthy is someone that you can rely on to be there when you need someone to talk to, or tell them something that you couldn’t tell someone else. It takes a lot to trust someone trust takes a long time to get. An example of trust would be 2 friends who are the best of friends in school, but others are jealous of their friendship and try to tear them apart. The friends know each other well and know to trust that they can rely on what each other say.

Second a friend who is Loyal would be someone who is with you through thick and thin even when the times get hard. It is hard to find a loyal friend because a lot of people may look loyal when really they aren’t. An example of loyalty in a real friendship would be two people that are the best of friends since 2nd grade. 1 of the friends get cocky when he meets a girl and is reminded by his friend to not get confused by a girls tricks.

And third a few examples of someone who is optimistic, dishonest, and a bad influence could be hidden in your crowd of friends so watch out. You may think everything is alright but the person could try to confuse you in to thinking that what they do is right and it can end up you being in the wrong place at the wrong time. There is so much in this world and so many opportunities for someone to just throw away.We only get 1 ride on this world so make it a good one. An example in a real friendship of someone who is Optimistic, Dishonest, and a bad influence could be 2 friends who are hanging out and a crowd comes near them and offers them marijuana. 1 boy says yes and the other is unsure the bad influence tells his friend it is good for him and that it couldn’t hurt him.

In conclusion there are many traits a person can have to qualify them as a friend, and there are traits that can qualify them as a bad friend as well. Watch who you hangout with and choose your friends wisely.

The Native American stories are somewhat similar. They all thought god made the earth and it was just created by their gods. The Native Americans also have major differences. The Inca carved their humans out of stone, as to the Mayan just thinking what they wanted and having it appear. These stories tell me that Native Americans thought just as other cultures did. Many cultures thought gods created the Earth. Inca, Mayan, and Apache all had gods create the earth and people.

Some might have true parts in the but some are a bit detailed to be true. It isn’t really exactlly true to believe what you hear about the earth creation because our earth is so old and no one is still alove from back then. I don’t think my beliefs are completely true. Having a man create people using just dirt is a bit unbelievable, but who knows it may never truely be known why we are here. I just focus on being here rather then knowing why i am here. Life is to short to spend your time figuring out why we are here. We are obviouslly here for a reason so enjoy it while it last and treat your planet right.

To me, it is more important for the safety of multiple people rather then just targeting one person. Publice security is there to ensure that citizens well being is in good hands. This is important from personal freedom because where one might think he/she can do one thing because in their opinion they are just being free others might say that is is not right or immoral. Again with the example of someone going out on a killing spree on everyone who was wearing a yellow shirt

However it isn’t right to just go out and do as you please because you are not harming anyone. Just because you aren’t harming a person does not mean that you are hurting the plant life,animal life, or the planet. You have to take many things in to consideration and not take the freedom that the US gives their citizens to your advantage. If you were to have to much freedom who knows how you would react to any normal situation that could be solved logically. For example I am not free to do whatever I want because i must follow the rights of the United States of America.

I think it is not OK to ever break the law because we have laws for a reason. People get bulk headed with to much freedom and do dumb things as well as make dumb decisions when they aren’t following the law. For example a man gets in to his car knowing that he’s had a few drinks and still goes out for a joy ride to get more liquor. He doesn’t know that in 3 minutes his car will be flipped right side up after hitting a young woman on her way home from collage.

In conclusion I think it is more important to stand up for what you believe in because if you don’t then no one will hear the words of encouagement you have to share. Change can only be brought if you speak up the more you speak the more change you will see. It’s also very important to stay out of trouble because you won’t get anywhere in life not following the law. The society today is set out very simple you’ll either fail or you’ll pass through life. Sadly there are peope who choose to fail; why? I am sure that question might never really be answered, but we can do is try to fix the problem and get kids off the street doing good, get gang members to come at peace with eachother, and overall just clean up all of our acts because we’ve been slacking and look where it’s got us now. I don’t know about you but it seems pretty hard to stretch a dollar these days if you know what i mean.

           My dream is quite different from other American’s because i am not looking to be rich and reach all of my goals. I will take life as my path makes it’s way i will make my decissions on my way i have no time to stress what big time agency i’d like to work for as long as i can provide for my family my life is exactlly how i would like it. Sure the flashy items and accessories are nice but they don’t mean the world to me. I was once told that if you let money rule you, you’ll just become something that you don’t want to be.

          My dream is quite different from my families because i am the only teen so far to get as far as i am now with a great past in my school years. My grades are always “ok” to me that is and i am always trying something new. If i follow the road that is leading me now i am sure i will make it to my American dream. My American dream is to find the perfect person for me [not that special i am pretty nonchalant about "perfect" people for me because no one is perfect] and just live life through the ropes and just see where the road takes me from there.
         

          The American dream is different to everyone so it depends on what they think the American dream is. The American dream is what ou want it to be your free here and if you follow your goals and reach to achieve anything is possible. The American dream can be possible to everyone whether you dream be to be a bum by the 711, or your dream be to be the next American Idol. Set up the right goals for YOU to follow no one knows you like you. Follow what you want to believe and hopefully your dreams come TRUE!

          Different people  get different opprotunities some people are less fortunate then others meaning that they are really limited to what they can achieve but if they really try hard they will shine like a start and catch that eye of someone who just might make their American dream come true. It isn’t hard to ever reach a goal it involes hard work and determination if you have always been a very hard working person it should be quite easy for you however if you are a slacker it might be the hardest thing for you to get through. One reason it might be easier for one person to get the American dream could be that they have more offers of help then others might have. Me living in California i have great opprotunities and help that i can take to my advantage which i am doing now. Because… The American dream doesn’t just have to apply to those in America there are many who would like to live in America today that would love the American Dream.

          In my mind the American dream is very worth while but liveing in todays century so many people can do so many things. And many now days are starting at young ages. Which is why i am concentrateing on school to reach my goals for school and get out there in the “Real Life”. I know i am young and have much to live for in my childhood, but these days everything seems so repetative so i am ready for my American dream now.

          I have done many things to work towards my American dream. Ever since i was a young 6 year boy i knew what i wanted to do. I’ve always liked taking things apaart and putting things together. When i was just a child many of my family members would let me install there new VcR’s, stereo’s, Tv’s, DvD players, etc… and now that i have found this academy within my school which is perfect i can finally learn things i have tried to learn myself with actual explanations why things work the way i do. AOIT is an awesome decision towards my American dream and i hoe it works wonders. To reach my American dream i must concentrate on my work, follow directions in school, and have determination for what i want. Like i said befor i am following my road as it makes itself so i do hope i do reach my dream.

A second trait that would define an american would be that we’re materialistic. For example a average american family would have 2 cars as to the below average family only being able to ride a bus or walk. I fall in to this category because i am always trying to figure out whar acsessory would go best with certain things. I also get driven to school knowing that i could easily walk the 2 blocks that would do my body good now that would fall under a different category in my opinion on americans we are [Lazy].

And lastly an example that defines an american would be determined. An example would be our amazing president that tries to open new doors and make things easier on us in this horrible recession. There is alot of dirt on americans but i am sure there is dirt on other countries that is way deeper then ours. Like Bin Laden and fellow Al-Qaeda leaders that did the attacks of 911 hideing away Afghanistan somewhere.

         As i read the poem i thought about life, and how many of us take the things that we have for granted. The poem had a very suttle tone and was a very relaxing, but sad read. My favorite line from the poem is the “From the Towers, from the planes, Love, and again, love.” I chose this line because i really like how all the words fell together, and how it made sence.

          When i first heard about the attack i was in class in the 4th grade. We had been covering our history at the time and i can remember hearing many cries. My teacher ran to the phone as it rang and turned the TV on. All of my classmates stared at the television in amazment. To me i didn’t really understand why it was a big deal because i knew planes went doen often. But now that i am older and know what really happened i have great grief for those who had to go through the attack of 9/11. I found out about the attack by the new at school. We were let out early and those who wanted to stay were able to go the the cafeteria. Now me being only 9 or 10 i was happy getting out of school. When i first heard about it i didn’t really understand why everyone was so hostile. It didn’t affect my life to much but it did affect family, and neighbors around me. I remember it affected one of my neighbors most because a family member of hers had been in New York when 9/11 occured. When i went home it was really quiet and no one spoke a word. I just sat and looked at my family as they glared at the TV screen in shock of what had taken place.

             If i were trapped in the World Trade Center or on one of the planes i honestly do not know what i would do. I can’t even imagine how it would feel. I feel for those who were trapped, and am sorry that they had to go through somethin as shocking as the attack of 9/11. I would try to call as many of my family members as i could, and if time i would try to pray to repent for all of my sins. If my family members answered the phone i would tell them that i am on a hijacked plane, and that i love them, and that everything will be ok, and i would see them soon.
