What I learned about the University of Nebraska

The N on their football helmets stands for "knowledge."

Cinderella

Today, my class and I went on a field trip to West Anchorage High School. There we saw a production of Walt Disney's Cinderella. It was wonderful. I didn't like the way the step-sisters were mean to her, but it turned out well in the end. Cinderella is with Her King,  They lived happily ever after.

So far ...

Mrs. Fey has asked how we feel about our progress in school so far this year. Well, I feel that I have come so far. I was a little slow to start using my walker, but now that I am doing it, I seem to be making good progress. Now, I can walk, well, just so far.

I have made some new friends, too. There are some new students in my class and in Ms. Pies class. Some of my friends from last year are gone. It seems like they are so far away.

Business technology has been fun. It is hard for me, but I still enjoy it a lot. That's how things have been going so far.

An amendment to the Constitution

When the Founding Fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence, they said that all are entitled to "Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness." Furthermore, they said that governments are instituted to protect these rights. Therefore, I think the Constitution should be amended to guarantee health care to everyone. After all, what is life without health?

You may wonder how we would pay for this. It would be difficult, but, the measure of a civilization is how it treats its least fortunate. Who knows? By recognizing human dignity and the value of human life, we may reap many benefits that will increase our wealth and benefit us in other, loftier, ways. For example, we might abolish the death penalty.

Or, we could just make me Queen. Yeah, that's the ticket!

Once, I felt really special

I went to the movies with Dad. I was the only person in a wheelchair. But that is not why I felt special. I felt special because I was with my Dad, and I know he loves me.

My brother, Wynter, was with me and Blanche was there, too. What a surprse it was to see Blanche at the movies. We saw Finding Nemo.  The divers were mean because they were taking Nemo to a dentist's office.

Adaptive P. E.

I was playing with Tony outside on the field with the frisbees. I was still smiling when I got to Mrs. Fey's class.

A Clark tradition

I was recycling today. It is a tradition I do with my Clark Middle School family. We did recycling after lunch. Students in my life skills class help with this job and it is a tradition now every year.

When I recycle we go to all three floors of the school and pick up things. We pick up card board boxes and paper. We took them outside to the dumpster and sorted them. We wear our tie dye shirts that we made when we recycle. It makes me happy when I help with recycling at school. I like this tradition at Clark.
