March from Selma to Montgomery- year 45

How far have we come from this important event in the civil rights movement?

Though Legally white and black people have equal rights today, and we do have a black president(in which it seems to be progressive) but black people are still prejudiced. They may not be hired by companies because of the color of their skin, and the media is degrading races as always.
I feel as though we have made physical changes, that many people still have the same mind set as was there in 1965 during the march.
It seems that there are not many things to do, we have tried and tried for change for over one hundred years, i think the only way for us to get out of this rut is by everyone to consider this state and think a long time about it because change can only come from within. only you can set yourself free.

My weekend: "Treason in America: 9/11, the wars & our Broken Constitution"

Valley Forge, Pennsylvania: On friday March fifth at three thirty p.m., I left Rochester to go with my Dad, to this convention on the truth about 9/11.
I remember september eleventh two thousand and one. I Don't recall the day exactly, I was only five years old. But that day I was in school, a very small private school in the city, We all left early that day, it was a beautiful day and in those carefree years of my life it seemed a day like this could never be ruined. But something was wrong, not many kids could tell, but i noticed. I saw it in the faces of the teachers, and soon we were all picked up early. We all ran outside happy to leave. My parents picked me up together, which I found weird. My mom was worried, she was scared but she stayed quiet about it. My father was upset but I stressed that by not showing it. He took us out to ice cream, we talked about school and the nice day, we talked about what we might eat for dinner, we talked about all those things other than what had happened that morning at ten after nine.
I think that my parents didn't want me to worry. Unfortunately I do not remember how I found out what happened that day. I just know that I know now.
ask yourself, what happened on september eleventh two thousand and one?
people believe that, nine eleven was the day that two planes crashed into the twin towers in new york city, killing thousands. That terrorists had taken control.
Americans believe 9/11 was what the president told us it was. That, what the media told us, was what happened. But it has been proved to me that they are wrong, our government is severely corrupt and that most americans are blinded from a nation controlled by the media, most americans have no idea that three buildings were destroyed.
My next few posts will be on the truth of 9/11. What really happened.
that nine eleven was an inside job. Because its your job and my job to let everyone know what is hidden from us.

School of the arts- "or mission is student success... Academic, Artistic, and Humanistic."

I go to the school of the arts in Rochester New York, It is an arts school which involves an audition process, this blog in which I am writing on right now, is apart of my creative writing (my major at the school) class. Our assignment today for our blog is to evaluate our mission (in the above title) it says on our home page (i will provide a link at the bottom of the page) our mission: "OUR MISSION IS STUDENT SUCCESS... ACADEMIC, ARTISTIC, AND HUMANISTIC."

I believe this to be true, to an extent. I don't feel as though SOTA is wrong in this at all. At our school, though an arts school, we focus on our academics above all. I believe this experience, being in an arts school, is a privilege, and It's great if you are the most creative writer in our class, the singer with the broadest vocal range, the artist who makes there drawings closest to the apple they are trying to put on paper, the tech major who had the best craftsmanship in a set, The dance major who can provide the strongest feelings through a dance routine, an actor who can really make an audience believe your character, or a musician who can enchant you with original songs, but in reality it doesn't matter, it can get you far, but in many ways you will get no where without your academics.
Humanity is also one of our important values, our community service hours take us far, and the staff at SOTA is accepting and friendly, like the students. We have our cliques but we don't discriminate, and it depends more, not on they way we dress or how we look, but on the content of our character.
Though SOTA has all of these wonderful values, I think it would be great if we expand our horizons. We have our arts, and I assume most funding goes to this at our school, but I think it would be great if we could have more after school activities, and more extra experiences that range beyond the arts. I think that we should have more sports variety, this would interest more kids and promote exercise. We should split from sharing with east, and make our school bigger, get fields and a pool, and another gym.
But I don't think sports is the only new extracurricular activities we need.
I have a lot of friends who attend Brighton High school, I remember looking in there year book, I turned to the end of it to see the clubs and extracurricular activities, pictures, I was shocked by how many they had. I pointed to as little as seven that I would join if I went to the school. They such a big variety that there were many I would join. I believe if we include more of these, that we can encourage kids to be more well-rounded and educated, find interests of theres for their futures. With these changes we can guarantee a totally more likely chance of a bright future that many kids who are from the inner city would not be able to have without school. We deserve this.
Personally, in addition to these changes I think it would make many students very happy to see more incentives,dances, trips, and pep rallies to promote school spirit.
I love my school and i want it to be the best it can for not only me but for our future generations, if SOTA's mission is student success, I do not see any road blocks into a path of success and for all of my suggestions to come true, if Success is our mission we won't fail.

Ten guilty pleasures

1. Love (this is something that you might not believe to be a guilty pleasure, but think about it, we fall in love and only once in awhile do we feel it can be forever with that person, we always get hurt in the end, and its a dangerous path with little chance for success. Yet we keep fighting because the chance of love is our greatest pleasure)

2.my cell phone, (its there when i really want to talk, and still there when I dont want to be bothered, not to mention all my crazy cell phone lingo that sometimes i use in an essay for school without realising it until i check it later)

3.American Idol ( addicting, addicting, addicting and cheesy, cheesy, cheesy)

4.gum (delicious, refreshing, and convienent but it get stuck in my braces like crazy)

5. GTA (sooooo fun, but very wrong)

6. Mean Girls (hilarious, fluffy, and easy on the eyes and totally sterotypical)

7.High heels ( feel sexy in them, but trip in them and make yourself taller then the guys)

8. Rachel Ray ( damn i want to punch her in the face, but the things that come out of her oven are delicious)

9. Jersey shore ( Funny, addicting, suggestive and entirely immoral)

10. Star bucks (delicious designer label coffee that can make you bankrupt within a week)

A community I love

When I was Thirteen, maybe fourteen, I went to Ithaca to go camping one summer. I immediately fell in love with the beautiful scenery, the young friendly people, cornell, the liberal voice of the town, and the many wonderful places to find delicious food. Ithaca I had decided, was somewhere I would like to live in the future.

How I use facebook :)

facebook is my favorite website, no offence blogspot, but this site is so addicting. Right now I have over six hundred friends, and i make more everyday. Facebook is a social networking site, where you can find all of your old friends, I probably don't need to tell you this though, because if you don't already know, you must live under a rock! Facebook is very important to me, and I don't know how i manged my social life before without it.
I use facebook to talk to friends, play a variety of games, and take quiz es that probably have no truth whatsoever in the result.
Facebook changes often, i was not very happy when it changed on my the first time, but this time when it changed i really liked it, it became quite easy.
I recommend facebook to everyone and anyone. It is so abstract and has many uses, you should definitely find out! If you have a facebook which you probably do, add me! I'm Adeline Kate on it.. so yeah :)
