The 7th grade is going on a trip to Skitaway Island.Mrs.Riggins and Mrs.Chapman are taking us. I am so excited.We are leaving tomorrow morning at 8:00.When we get there we are doing activities,which the UGA students are helping out with.One of our activities are going to be walking through the marsh.It will be nasty but fun at the same time.Another actvivtie we are going to do is The Ghost Walking tour.I know that is going to be fun!Mrs.Riggins has roomed us with different people.I am rooming with Kaitlyn,and Heather.I am so excited!!! :] I know we will have a great time. Some of the things we have to bring are Sleeping bag or sheets to sleep on,A little back pack to carry your science notebook and stuff in,water,and stuff like that. Everyone in my class is going except blake.I think it is going to be a one and a life time to experience the way we are.I wish he could have came.It would have been even better with all of our classmates there.

Officer Colquitt

Officer Colquitt was our D.A.R.E officer who recently passed away. I think that he was a good influence on people's life.Especially ours.He helped us with our problems and was a good friend to us.I am sad that he has passed.I will terribly miss him.Monday when we went to his funeral it was really sad.There was a lot of his family and friends there.It was so packed that people were standing up and in the halls of the church.Some of my friends had went to his visitation and said that his lion was buried with him.The lion was a great meaning also.When he would bring the lion to our class everyone would fight over it.The reason we fought over it was because we got to hold it and braid its hair.Ha!He helped people through thick and thin.He helped people realize that the world has better things than to do drugs and get into violence.Of Colquitt died Saturday of a massive Heart Attack.D.A.R.E was a good thing to do and he did it GREAT! When we turn around and say his name and call for him he will not be there.When we try to find him driving down the road we will not see him.I think we will think he is still here for a while until it gets into reality.I think everyone will miss him DEEPLY.We LOVE YOU Officer Colquitt

Hate

What is the real meaning of hate? People you is it as if it didn't mean anything.I think hate is a strong word.When people say they hate you I dont think it's good.The next minute the person you told that too could be gone.People get it mixed up with like.Hate let's see.I dont actullay think I hate someone. I might dislike them but I dont HATE them. That is a strong word.If I said I hate you,What would you think? I wouldn't know what to think.When you have a friend yall get into a lot fights rite? I know Kaitlyn and I do.Then I will say to her I hate you or she will tell me that she hates me,then ten minutes laters we will be sorry and be making up to each other.
I don't think people should ever say HATE to anyone becouse the next minute they could be gone if you say that I hate You! :]

People are different and others don't understand

People are different in lots of different ways. Some people may like rap music,some people may like country,hip-hop or even hard class rock!People also dress different,act different and are just plain different.I know I hear a lot of people say oh welll she is preppy or I don't like her becouse of her clothes. It doesn't matter what you were or anything on the outside. Some poeple say I don't like him or her becouse they hang out with Ayla or Cameron or Nancy.(just giving an example.)I think people should look more into the inside of a person.I know you have heard the saying Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover. I know I have,and sometimes I don judge books.It means the same way as people.I might look at someone on the street and think oh they dress like that or they have there nose peirced so they are mean and scary. Well you never know they could be the kindest person in the whole wide world.When people judge you, I think you should just walk away. Don't listin to them at all.People don't know anything about these people and they start talking about them like it jsut hit the news or something. I hate it when people do that.People also judge people by if they are smart.I hate that also.They call them geeks behind there back and all kind of mean names. It is just plain mean.People need to get it in to there brain that it doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, It mateers what is on the inside.
