* 5 reasons why texting is better than talking on the phone *
1. You have more things to talk about ...
At some point in time while you're on the phone, you have a moment of silence, and it's akward.
2. You have more time to come up with another topic ...
Have you ever had that someone that you never wanted to stop texting, but you had absoluetly NOTHING to talk about? Well, at least if you're texting you have a million topics to go through, rather than being on the phone with nothing to talk about!
3. You can abbreviate what you're saying ...
I'm the type of person who hates repeating myself, especially if I said alot. If you're in class, and you can't yell across the room to somebody, why not just whip out your phone? It's easy access and I'm pretty sure that they'll understand what you're saying!
4. You can text alot of people at once ...
I don't like being on the phone at all, unless it's with my bestfriend or my mother. I'm a text-aholic. I'd rather text 3 people at once, than to be talking on the phone with one person.
5. It's just like talking on the phone, if you're laughing at what the text says, just reply "LOL" ..
It works just like being on the phone!
* 5 reasons why talking on the phone is better than texting *
1. Impersonation
You lose you phone, or someone is using your phone, and pretends to be you while texting others from your phonebook.
2. You get the full details of the conversation, rather than saying "LOL"
I love making people laugh, but getting a text that says "LOL" doesn't move me. I'd rather be on the phone hearing the person laugh.
3. Mixed Emotions
If you sent someone a text message, they may read it wrong. They may get the idea that you're mad at them, etc ...
4. Faster thoughts
If you're texting, you have to keep thinking of things to say. If you're talking on the phone, you say the first thing that comes out your mouth.
5. Not everything can be expressed in words from a phone ...
I love texting, but I must agree, not everything can be expressed in words from a phone. If I'm having a heart to heart conversation with someone, I wouldn't want to talk about it over a text message. I want to hear their voice and understand them more clearly.

Live, Laugh, Love!
Live life to the fullest. Don't worry about what others think of you because at the end of the day, others don't determine your future, you do!
Always Rep the Home Team!
To me, the Redskins are the BEST team in the league! One reason, is because I'm from Washington D.C and that's the home team. One thing I don't understand about other people who like the Dallas Cowgirls,etc, is that how do you represent a team when you never traveled to Dallas a day in your life? Ha! My former teacher, Ms. Anderson, lectured me just because I said I didn't like the Steelers. Maybe, just maybe, she lectured me was because that's her favorite team, and she's mad because they LOST the Superbowl. #GO GREENBAY PACKERS! :) But hey, I can't talk that much because my team was at home watching the Steelers get their butts handed to them. WOOT WOOT!
Parents Just Don't Understand :/
Some parents just don't understand the world us TEENS live in. I don't understand them, because clearly they were once teens before and was going through the same motions. Granted, sometimes we don't listen, ignore them, don't always want to go to school, and are lazy sometimes, but hey, sooner or later we'll grow out of that habit. Parents just complain entirely too much! For example, my mother work about 8 to 9 hours a day. My chores are done way before she even gets home. If she come in the house and see that my brothers or sister hasn't done their chores, first person she yells at is ME. "You are the next oldest female in the house and it's your responsibility to keep them on top of their chores," she said. No, it's YOUR responsibility, you're our mother, I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut. Being in the middle of 5 children in one household can sometimes be a good thing, but so far, it's not. I have to live my own life, and taking care of 4 other children is not what I've planned to do.

When Things Don't Go Right, Go Left!
The road I've traveled isn't always crystal clear,
It has gotten bumpy, cloudy, and full of fear.
The road I've traveled isn't always the best,
I must confess,
But I know that I'm truely blessed.
I'm capable of turning this life around,
doing what I please,
I'm not doing it for you,
I could care less,
but im doing it for me.
I traveled back up that gloomy road,
when I seen where the road first diverged at,
curious of what that new road holds,
I took my first big step.
From there on out,
my life has been transparent,
I have nothing else to be scared about,
I've learned that you sometimes have to test the water,
or in this case test routes,
this journey was kind of fun,
without a doubt!

Taylor Mali: What Teachers Make!
I too chose this poem because of its powerful meaning. Mali is saying how teachers make a difference because they try their hardest to put knowledge into these kids head. Also, how he make kids sit in study hall in complete silence so they can focus on what they need to do. He makes them work harder than what they thought they can do. He makes them use their brains, teaches them that if you have a heart then follow it. If others don't like it, oh well. At the end of the day, teaches do make a difference!
Lamont Carey; I Can't Read!
I chose this poem by Lamont Carey because it has a powerful meaning. He's saying that he can't read and can't write but yet, his teachers are still passing him because he is a basketball scholar. He planned on taking his family out of the ghetto by being the star that he was. Until one day, he was dribbling down the court and got injured. His dreams then just shattered into a million pieces. He is now asking us that without knowing how to read, write, and not being able to run anymore due to his injuries, what are his options?
