Just Walk on By was a story about how a young black journalist struggles with racial profiling. I really enjoyed this story because it helped me understand how a different culture thinks. It makes me think because I know that there have been times in my life where situations that I was put in were overreacted upon. It sucks that this is how America is but there is a lot of violence here. The American public usually seems to think that the worst thing is always going to happen. Walking down the streets in a large city at night and seeing someone dressed up in a army coat will scare a lot of people.

Just Walk on By
Tuesday, March 27th, 2007The truth about M&ms
Tuesday, March 13th, 2007Well I found this story by Steve to be kind of fun and interesting. It is always nice to read what teachers think about their students and it made me try to figure out what category he put me in. I like how Steve hands out these essays to us before we have to write our own because it really helps me understand how the lay out of the paper has to be. Well I don’t have much else to say about the paper. Good work Steve.
See you all Tuesday

My Spring Break
Monday, March 12th, 2007Well my spring break was not as eventful as I would have hoped. I was suppose to go to Cancun with a bunch of my friends but at the last minute I had to cancel because my cousin died. So my spring break began with a 3 and a half hour drive to Anoka on Thursday morning through 6-8 inches of snow. It was not that fun. Then once I got home I got to relax for about 2 hours and then had to jump back in the car and drive another hour in the blizzard to my cousin’s wake. After that my break calmed down and i just spent time catching up with friends from Anoka. So that was kind of nice I guess. I watched alot of hockey during break. All of the high school state tourney and I got to go to a Wild game and sat first row behind the boards. Other then that nothing else is new. I am flying out to San Diego in a few weeks for a long weekend to begin looking at houses out there. I am only four months away from moving to Cali and it can’t come quick enough. Well I hope everyone else had a good break.
RIP
