When I woke up, I already knew I didn’t want to go to school. I got there and we were on lockdown, so the first two hours I wanted Netflix on my phone. I started to eat hungry and I tried to order food but that didn’t work so I was out of my money. My classmates ordered pizza so I just sat there because I don't eat pizza. From that point I really just wanted to go home, the whole day just blew me. 

 I couldn’t sleep at all last night, I was upset and anxious. I woke up late on purpose, I needed a few minutes. The start of my day was good until First period, I never understood why I can’t have a full good day. My grade in Economics is coming up, I’m doing way better. So that’s making me happy and I’m really hoping this hurricane gives use time of from school. The rest of my day was fine, we had a lockdown so I did my work while listening to music and then watched Netflix until we left.  

Horrible, that’s all I have to say about today. Im tired of being the cause of things when in all reality I just want respect, reassurance and to feel understood. I woke up okay today things went bad the start of first period. Like I can’t ever go a day without arguing that makes me upset, why can’t I have one happy day !! I left around one because mentally I couldn’t do it, I’m ready for a good change in my life. Im done holding myself back and standing in my own way. Today is the last day of the old me, from now on I will choose and put me and my happiness first. 

 

Everything went wrong today. I woke up and didn’t want to get out of bed then I went to eat and I couldn’t even finish it. That makes me so upset when I think I have an appetite for something so I make it then when it’s time to eat I don’t want it.First period was really cold honestly, I was cold all day maybe it’s just me. Second period we learned how to file taxes and then there was lockdown but that lasted like twenty minutes. Third period I was cold again and we were going over everything that’ll be on our test tm.I don’t get long division of polynomials and that makes me very upset. My next class, I started our project and I got a lot done so now i just have to color it and add the words. On the way to work my bus was late so that made me upset, overall all day I’ve either been upset, annoyed or cold.

 I worked really hard today. I woke up on time, had time to eat and do extra things as well. I worked hard in all my classes because I was finishing up some work for first period. Math class was easy today, I caught  on quick and had time to do other work too. When I got home I planned on taking my phone to get fixed. I went to the place and the man wasn’t there so that made me upset because I didn’t break my phone they did.I came home and brought the groceries in hen I started on the homework that I had. 

 As John got up with his fathers lunch box he sat it down on the table. He glanced at his father and then dad spoke, “I apologize, to all of you”. “Please don’t be scared by me, I just feel for Roy that’s all”. There was silence for what felt like ten minutes. The mother spoke “Oh baby it’s fine, we know you still love us, just a little outburst of anger.”. He kissed her on the forehead and called for Roy. “Tell me what happened, why you left in the first place”. Roy explained everything and how John didn’t have anything to do with it, He asked him not to say anything and he didn’t. Roy was put on punishment along with John, although John only had three days. A week passed and everything was as normal as it could be, Roy knew not to go near the Rockpile ever again. 

 I didn’t get much sleep this morning because I was missing something but it’s back now so I’m okay. I got dressed and ready for school, I’m liking my hair more so I was happy. My first period was fine, we moved seats and started a new unit. As for my second period class is always a blur to me. It’s economics and we really don’t do anything but have test out of nowhere. Third period I was freezing I don’t know why she likes her room like that. That class was okay too nothing to major. After school I waited for my bus to go to work. Half way through the bus ride I realize I left my work shoes at home. That ousted me a little but I didn’t let it ruin my day. 

  My neighborhood is a a mixture of the good and bad. To others it would be consider the hood as well as the projects because it’s like it’s own community. So within that community there are some apartments people would consider the projects. There is a pool a lot of abandoned houses and a wreck center. Something that makes my neighborhood stand out is the amount of corner and hair stores there are. It’s like there’s one on every corner. When I lived there my mom would allow me outside but very rarely because of the violence in the area. Since my dads side of the family still resides there, the neighborhood knows me. They watched me grow up so my mom knows if I am outside someone is watching over me. 

 Today started off bad, I woke up late and something happened so I cried until the middle of first period. We didn’t take our test in second period but I know I did good on my test in first period. The rest of my school day was good, I wanted seafood but then again I don’t like spending my own money. I asked my mom to take out some shrimp so I can just make my own seafood boil at home. Once I made my food and ate, I cleaned my room and waited for my friend to come over. So my day started off bad but as it continued it got better. 

 Veterans have been through a lot mentally and physically. Their experiences in the war, living conditions etc. can greatly affect their day to day life now. Many can have ptsd so when they hear certain sounds it can trigger them, taking them back to that war they fought it. As a father who fought in the war who has children, trying to live a normal can be hard. He can see his children and get relief because he was away from them for so long. He can become more paranoid in certain situations because of the things he seen. 

 Horrible. Absolutely horrible. That’s how my day was today. I woke up feeling okay but as soon as I got in the bus everything just went down hill from there. In my first period I had an exam but I was arguing with my friend whilst doing it. I couldn’t focus so I’m petted sure I didn’t do good on that. Second period I had a test as well and got a 66 and that’s only because I wasn’t there I was in school suspension for three days. I didn’t know anything on that test and we have a unit test tomorrow. Third period was a test as well a quiz since it was only five questions but I think I did good. Fourth period we finished the benchmark we started yesterday. I was proud of myself with that I actually tried and I’m positive I at least got an 75%. After school I went to work and it was busy all day. I didn’t get to study or do homework so now I’m ready for my day to be over. 

 I woke up early this morning so I had time to pack a lunch. I got ready and got on the bus. On the way to school I thought about a lot of things and what I wanted to change. This was my last day in ISS so I had mixed emotions on that. I like being there it’s peaceful although it’s cold, I like how there isn’t a lot of kids or distractions. I didn’t go to work yesterday because I’m sick so my manager told me to take another day off today as well. I’m not sure how I’ll spend my day when I get home but I know some me time is what I need. 

 Today was a long up and down day. I woke up very sad and stayed sad until second period. I did some college work while doing my class work and listening to music so I started to calm down. Third period is when things went down hill, my teacher is known for being rude to her students. There has been many occasions where she was rude to me as well. We were on lockdown and she got smart with me so I got smart back. I had to tell her about herself because who was she talking too. I get home and my mom tell me my teacher side of the story. I’m like “no way” because she literally lied and tried to make it like I was being blatantly  disrespectful. I got ready for work and when I got there I was told that just me and one other person would be closing. Just my luck, I just became manager and now I’m closing basically by myself.
