Plans for break.

My plans for this winter break really don’t include much, this year it’s not that I’m excited to just hang out with friends well I am but I am mostly excited to get a nice break off school. The only reason that is because this year compared to last year is a pretty big difference it might not seem like it but it is, with all the homework and worrying about if I’m going to get all the credits I need this card marking (which I am). But yeah I hope to have a relaxing break without my brother annoying me or my sister now that she is home.
The actual plans that I have are probably hanging out with my friends a lot, getting some great presents from Santa and getting to spend a lot of time with my family too which what the holidays are basically about even though I’m going to try to hangout with my friends more because everyone knows too much time with your family just gets a little out of hand or at least it does with mine.
Over the break though is usually my all time favorite of the year, its starting a new year you get free gifts no school for a few weeks and getting to chill around the house. But with the gifts thing it’s not going to be as good as last year like last year I had some good gifts to ask for but this year I really don’t have all that much to ask for like I asked for some clothes iPod headphones I can’t even think of what else, but if my parents would actually let me get what I wanted it would be one of the best Christmases ever what I really asked for was a dog, laptop and a new phone but obviously I can’t get that because it would cost like over a thousand dollars but it’s alright I just want to enjoy the days off while there here

Dear Santa
Overall I am a pretty nice person I don’t really do anything bad to people, the only people I make that mad are my parents and brother and sister mostly my parents. The reason that is because my grades and sometimes the way I treat them I’m nice but they get on my nerves a lot like when I get 1 like c they will freak out and ground me or something then that’s when I get pissed off usually. I have got in trouble a few times though when I have used bad language or something when I get mad but that’s about all.
Or I hate when my brother or sister get bad grades or do something bad then my parents find out then take all their anger out on me that makes me really mad and will be like mom why are you mad at me and then gets even more mad I absolutely hate when that happens.
But then when I think about it I really haven’t got in any trouble or anything I have been a good boy this year and also have been getting great grades like all As and Bs which makes my parents proud. But when I think back I tried my very best to at the same time made a few very small mistakes but my mom and dad have forgave me for all those small mistakes I did make. So yeah each year I try more and more to be better and better about being nice and not naughty I know there are some naughty people out there that do some bad things but I continue and will continue to be one of the people that don’t do bad things and get good grades and listen to their parents most of the time.

Blog #12
I am probably going to be almost graduating from police school or academy then my life will actually start, I will end up buying an apartment with the girlfriend that I will have and big or special but something that I am comfortable with. I will be paying about a little under 1,000a month which my parents and grandparents will help me out with. It will be in Lansing Michigan because I want to go to Michigan state university when I’m older. Me and one or two of my friends will live there I’m guessing and we would all split the cost of the mortgage. The water and heating is already paid for so I don’t have to worry about that. But the apartment I was looking cost about $525 - $585 and if we have 2 people living there we would divide the cost. My mom or dad would probably end up paying for it.
Internet and TV about 100
About 50 for water
And for food about 100
Adds up to about 880 a month or so and if I split it with a friend I would only pay about 440 dollars.

Thanksgiving blog

1. The top ten things I am thankful for are first probably my family and all my cousins and aunts and uncles (Joey Salah). The reason I am thankful for them is because they are always there for me and support me for everything and if it weren’t for them then I probably wouldn’t know what to do.
2. The second thing I am thankful for is my friends because it’s a lot of fun hanging out with them and they always make me laugh and it’s just fun to hangout with them I have known my friends for many years and still am friends with most of them.
3.The next thing I am thankful for is my computer because it’s one of like the most fun things to be on if you think about it you can do almost anything on a computer I’m not on the computer all that much but when I am on it it’s always fun.
4. I am thankful for all my clothes that my parents buy me and get me, a lot of clothes I don’t know why but they just do but it’s not like I don’t mind it or anything
5. I also am pretty thankful for cell phone because I am on it a lot and it’s really useful in life
6. I’m really thankful for my allowance because that’s how I buy all the stuff I need if I really want something so that’s important to me
7. I am also thankful for getting educated because that’s basically how my life gets started by going to school so that’s one of the things I am really thankful for
8. I am thankful for TV too because there are some really good shows I watch during the week when I’m just bored and have nothing to do
9. I am really thankful for food to because it’s like the best thing in the world and everyone knows it so yeah that’s like the thing I’m most thankful for like pizza macaroni and some other things are so good
10. I am pretty thankful for cars to I have an interest in cars because they look awesome and its very good for transportation even though I usually ride my bike places

Blog #9
The requirements for being a cop are about a 4 year degree in criminal justice
The school that has criminal justice that I would mostly want to go to is Michigan state university the reason I would like to do that is because my sister is up there right now and I think it would be a place that I could probably get into easily if I try and want this job a lot and try my hardest. But some other schools that have the degree that I need are Adrian College, Albion College, Alma College, Andrews University, Calvin College, Ferris state university and Lake Michigan College.
It will take about 4 years then an additional 3 years of related work time experience
It costs about 16,687 to get your bachelors degree to become a cop at a university that is not that expensive so at Michigan state university it would probably cost even more than that.
As a police officer you could be sitting at an office working on a case or something or sitting at a station with your partner who knows or you could be out on duty at a place where a lot of crime goes on you could be doing a lot of things.
They make a little over 45,000 a year but agents who relocate to New York are entitled to locality pay over 26% of their base salary or around 11,700 which results in a salary of 57,000 a year
Many people have said being a police officer can have the least majority of work or it can be a lot of work because you really don’t know what is going to happen it’s not like people are going to tell you when they’re going to do crimes. So you basically have to always be on patrol looking out for people doing bad things in the city.
Now after looking over of being a cop it was pretty cool I liked some stuff and I didn’t like some things, like I did like how you always have to be on patrol looking out for what is happening in the city. I would love to be on patrol just sitting there most likely knowing something will happen it even could happen and second so I really would enjoy that. Other things that disappointed me was like the wage like how much money you make a year I thought you would make more money a year but I guess you don’t make as much as I thought but it doesn’t make me not want to be a cop though. But after researching it makes me think of me being a cop more and more as I research and it shows me more what it’s going to be like. But I thought I would not want to be a cop after I research but I actually want to more and more. The work you have to do to become a cop is a lot though you have to go to college and get your bachelors then go to a police school or academy to train for your job and get experience so yeah now I want to be a cop even more.
Top ten jobs
1. Federal agent
2. Bailiff
3. Security guard
4. Correctional officer
5. Inventor
6. Combat engineer
7. National guard
8. Judge
9. Heavy equipment operator
10. Firefighter

The reason why I would like to be a federal agent is because my whole life I have always liked the hands on stuff like investigating and the crime. It’s not in here but like a cop is what I would like to be when I get older. I’ll probably go to a police academy or school to get my cop license or whatever you need to become a cop. But getting back on topic I like just making the city a better place and doing what’s right for the community and I would not have a problem to be working out late or doing midnight shifts or if they need me in the office or whatever I would go to do what they need me to do and I think it would be more fun later at night because I think that’s when more of the crime goes on in the city because somehow criminals think they can get away with the things they do but cops know everything so they would somehow get caught. Also I think it would be awesome to be like you get to tell people what to do like you’re the boss of the city but then you still have a boss and have to follow some restrictions and rules
Then working as a bailiff I think it wouldn’t be all that bad but I would rather be a cop but being a bailiff would be cool because you get to know a lot more of the crime that goes on because your there in the court room seeing what the criminal did and what there consequence will be.

Happy haunting!
This year I don’t have all that much of Halloween plans. This is probably my first year actually not going trick or treating. I’ll probably just be hanging out with my friends just at one of their houses or walking around or something it will still be pretty fun. But yeah if one of the houses is giving away kit Kat or Reeses because those are my two favorite kinds of candy. Most other kinds of candy I just end up throwing away or giving it away to someone I don’t know why I just don’t eat it I used to always eat candy like whatever kind it was when I was younger I think all kids are like that actually but yeah.
I don’t have that much of a favorite costume or anything I like to go to one of my friends houses that has a bunch of decorations and stuff outside so when they come up to the door you can pop out and scare them that’s always fun to do. But the thing about costumes is I like to see the people that have some scary and cool costumes there’s always one costume that is my favorite each year. The only year I dressed up in an actual costume I think was about three or four years ago or so I’m not all that sure but yeah I was Jason from Friday the thirteenth I remember that night it was pretty fun but yeah that used to be my favorite movie when I was younger I would always record it when it came on during Halloween then watch it over and over.
Scary movies are the most fun to watch I think I really don’t know why but just watching them is so fun like all the saw movies witch the 6th one came out today actually so ill maybe see that this weekend also like the Halloween movies the new one is pretty good.
Something that I always look forward during Halloween time is all the haunted houses me and my friends usually go to some haunted houses around here. The ones around here aren’t all that good but it’s still always fun to go to them get a little scared. But the one I have always wanted to go to is erebus it does seem really scary but I don’t know I just would want to go to it to see what it’s like and everything.

A perfect day
This would be kind of weird but I would probably wake up and find out that I have only got 24 hours to live, look out my window in my room and feel the breeze come in and look at the clouds and all the leaves falling onto the ground.
First things first I would let everyone know that I got a day to live including friends and all my cousins and teachers and everybody so that they would know to come and say good bye to me and maybe get me a gift of some kind. I probably would end up going to school for a little bit to let everybody know but then go home early so I could do everything that I enjoy in life. I don’t eat breakfast that much so I would skip that so I could get more hungry then get a ride to bates and as I pull into there I would smell the aroma of the burgers cooking on the grill and the fries being made I would order some burgers and fries. Then I would go home and watch re runs on my big TV of viva la bam and all my other favorite shows with my fur blanket laying over me so I’m warm on the fall day of October 27th.
After I finish watching my re runs I would get take another nice hot shower for my 8 hours left of living and me and my family would go out to dinner at Mongolian barbeque and I would order some steak and beef with sautéed onions and hot seasoning and watch them cook it as I sit there smelling all the seasonings being cooked with the steak and beef. I enjoy my food with my family we share memories of the past when we were all having good times laughing and now knew it was all coming to an end for me. Then after I would go to out to ice cream cold stone and watch them make it in front of me being cold inside the small store with others not knowing that this is my last day. After that the day would start to end and it would be getting dark out and I get that sick feeling in my stomach because I don’t want to die. That night I watch the stars in the sky waiting for my life to just end thinking about nothing but everyone I have known and memories from my life.

You must be kidding!!!
1. Six glasses are in a row. The first three are full of juice; the second three are empty. By moving only one glass, can you arrange them so empty and full glasses alternate?
2. Two fathers and two sons went duck hunting. Each shot a duck but they shot only three ducks in all. How come?
3. While walking across a bridge I saw a boat full of people. Yet on the boat there wasn't a single person. Why?
4. What goes up and down, but still remains in the same place?
5. Name all the numbers from 1 - 100, which have the letter 'A' in their spellings?
6. What kind of coat can be put on only when wet? 7. What can you catch but not throw?
8. What goes around the world and stays in a corner?
9. What kind of room has no windows or doors?
10. The more you take the more you leave behind?

In ten years
Ahead 10 years in my life I would like to be a cop and have graduated from Michigan State University with my bachelor’s degree I will be done with police school. I’m going to probably be living the rest of my life here in Michigan.
I would like to live in a nice house in Northville in a nice neighborhood with big houses and nice people. I would have people cutting my grass because I wouldn’t cut the grass when I’m older because I wouldn’t be getting paid like I do now. I would be getting married after I get out of police school to a nice lady around my age probably younger by a year or two. I would have used my money that I have been saving up sense I was younger to get a shiny yellow corvette with a base system in the back of it. My office will be at the Michigan state police headquarters that’s where I will be most of my time on late shifts and when I work.
At my house I would like to have a pool I could use in my spare time also a sauna in my basement I would like to have a nice big backyard. Also want two kids a boy and girl later on in my life not right when I get married or anything though. I probably will not be visiting my parents all that often I wouldn’t mind not having all the rules and everything I do now. Another thing I would like about ten years from now is having no curfew because if I needed something when I’m up late I just go out and get it then don’t have to wait till the morning. Also so I can stay fit and everything as I get older ill have a workout room in my basement with some free weights and weight machines and a tread mill. I will get one of those projectors in my basement with a mini pop corn machine so that I and my family can watch movies after I get off work.

In my fantasy school everyone would like to go to school instead of it being the worst thing in the world. My fantasy school would have not just all white boring brick walls there would be bright colors to attract people and so they would like it more. You would be able to pick your classes out so you could be in classes with your friends and not have to meet random new people. During lunch time you could go outside walk around or sit down in the courtyard if you would like. There would be much wider halls for people to walk in and the seniors, juniors, soft mores and freshman would all be split up so there would be less or no fights and you would be more comfortable with walking around during passing time

When there is passing time you would have a total of 10 minutes so you do have some time to visit with friends or go outside to get some fresh air. Then the best part would be school starting at 10 o clock so you could sleep in for a bit longer and then it would still end at the same time. There would also be a rule only that you can only get homework once a week but you would have to listen a lot in class and pay attention so you would still learn. So basically the point of my fantasy school is that school would actually be fun and not boring like it is.

communication


I am a pretty good communicator I think over all. I don’t like talking on the phone all that much though I do like to text. MySpace is alright its fun to use just to talk to some friends that you don’t see as much anymore. But I hate face book well actually I don’t know if I can say that because I don’t use it but it just seems way too complicated for me because I’m not all that smart when it comes to computers.
Usually on a regular basis I talk to my friends that I always hangout with and mom dad and brother and sister. But yeah we usually just talk about how things are and what’s going on nothing really. But yes it is a lot easier to talk to certain people about certain things and it’s hard because there’s not too many people that I can talk to about personal things. Like when something happens I have to wait so I can talk to like one or two people. But yeah when I text I don’t really care how long I’m texting or when I am I never mind texting its fun I think.
I do go on MySpace but not daily just once in a while when I get pretty bored and have nothing to do. Also MySpace isn’t one of those things you can stay on all day or at least I can’t it just gets too boring there’s nothing to really do it on it besides to send a comment to your friends or a put a new picture up or something.
So yeah that’s about all I have to say about communicating and I plan to stay the way I am not using face book and keep texting and not talking on the phone.
