School year coming to an end
As the school year winds down, excitement seems to grow inside me more and more everyday. As it comes to a close, I start to feel a certain feeling in the pit of my stomach. I get more excited toward the end of the year because to me, it means one step closer to senior year. It also gives me a chance to go back and look at the accomplishments I made for the year and how well I have improved as a person compared to the beginning of the year. Next year, I will be starting my Senior year of High School and believe me, I am more than ready to finally receive the chance to graduate. I am ready to see what the rest of my life has in store for me. The end of the year makes me feel excited to know that I have accomplished that much already.

Lazy!
The one thing that I cant stand about school, is the fact that some teachers NEVER grade papers. It really ticks me off when they look at your name on your paper, give your a grade, then throw it away! That drives me nuts! I also hate when teachers think they're so cool, when in reality we think your are the biggest loser ever! Ugh! What really drives me nuts is when they give you an assignment and fail to even explain what the assignment is about. Especially when you ask about the assignment they make you feel stupid and it totally kills your confidence. I don't ever learn anything in this class and it is clearly a waste of my time and it will get me no where later in life!

Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is suppose to be a day that's all about love. All the gushy love cards, chocolates, flowers, it sounds pretty nice right? Wrong! Valentine's day, to me is a waste of time and money. Whats the point of wasting all that crap when its just going to get thrown away any way? It almost makes me sick! Sure its not so bad when you have someone to share it with, but if you don't your life pretty much feels like it's over. If your single it just sucks. Its basically just another way to remind yourself that you're all alone and you'll probably die alone with your 500 cats. Some say it's the perfect day to tell someone that you love them. Well why do you have to have a certain day to tell somebody? Why not do it any day? This holiday, if you can even call it that, is pointless and to me its a waste of time.

Why I write
I write because its a way to express my feelings a creativity. I enjoy writing the most when I have no limitations to what and how much I write. Letting my mind run wild as I write about anything and everything is a way to keep me relaxed. Creative writing is my favorite to write mainly because I enjoy the creativity I can put into it. There is no right or wrong to it, its something I can call my own.

The green suitcase
Shifting her glance to the side of the chair she noticed a small green suitcase. Continuing to ignore the presence of the unusual item she continued her studies.
“Hey!” said a small voice beside her.
Trying not to get in trouble by the teacher, she acted like she didn’t hear anything, but yet her imagination began to run wild. Who could be trying to get my attention she thought? Could it be the cute upper classman, Peter Jones, who happened to be sitting directly behind her and whom she’s had a crush on since first grade? Or could it just be her own imagination, after all she always felt like she was going a little crazy.
“Down here! I know you can here me,” whispered the small object.
Turning around to smile at her one true love, Molly realized that it wasn’t Peter trying to get her attention, considering the fact that he gave her the biggest stink eye of all.
“No, look down,” cried the suitcase.
As she turned around in embarrassment she looked down on the floor. Lo and behold, there laying right beside her chair was a small suitcase with a small diamond on the front.
As she admired this strange and most definitely random suitcase, she began to slowly pick it up.
“Ouch!” said the suitcase. “ Easy, I’m not getting any younger you know, next time be careful will ya?”
“Oh, I’m so very sorry,” cried Molly.
“It’s fine,” he told her.
Molly had so many questions building up in her mind she didn’t know where to begin, but before she even had a chance to ask, the suitcase was already talking to her.
“Okay, listen up, kid! I need you to be very careful with me. I’m probably the most valuable thing you will ever hold in your hands in your life time,” said the suitcase.
“What do you want with me?“ asked Molly.
“I needed someone who was smart, clever, charming and mostly because this was all the further my short legs would carry me.” he said.
“Okay? I’m listening,” she said.
“Okay, inside of me there is a ticking time bomb. What I want you to do is to decide if you’re going to save everybody including yourself, just save yourself, or let everybody die? It’s up to you. You have 10 minutes to decide,” said the suitcase.
As Molly sat in her chair with a nervous edge in the pit of her stomach, she began to draw out her options. Should she save everybody else or should she just keep her mouth shut? After all, everybody knew Molly was the weird one in her school. Molly could hear her heart pounding in her ears. Only three minutes to go.
“Um, Mr.Vogts, may I use the bathroom?” she asked.
“Make it quick!” he retorted.
Molly slowly get up from her chair, takes one last nervous look at her class and heads for the door. Pacing down the hallway she stops at her locker and grabs her bag. Taking a wrong turn to the bathroom, Molly walks out the door leaving all of her friends and teachers to die. Molly walks down the sidewalk with a sly grin appearing upon her face. As the school behind her begins to blow to pieces, realizing her plan of mass destruction has been completed.
“Hey!” said a small voice beside her.

Rivera enjoys life, friends.
He’s Just an ordinary teenager who eats ,sleeps and goes to school, shares his information on his everyday life.
Saul Benjamin Rivera is 17 years old and has a very simple life. Born in California, he and his growing family of eight move to Bazine, Kan.
As a Junior, he started to think a little bit about his career for the future. When Rivera graduates he plans to major in Diesel Mechanics.
“Its something that I would like to learn. It’s very interesting to me,” said Rivera.
Before he makes any final decisions for his future, he attends Western Plains High School. Rivera said he enjoys school, but he wouldn’t call it his favorite. He enjoys socializing with his friends in the hallways and playing football after school, but his least favorite part about his day is the school lunches and American Government.
“The school lunches aren’t that great to me,” said Rivera.
When he isn’t in school studying, he enjoys playing the sport of football.
“Playing football motivates me more in school and everything else,” said Rivera.
This sport is Rivera’s favorite sport, but he doesn't plan to further his talent in it after high school.
At home, his life is much different. With five brothers and two sisters, you’d think his household would be hectic, instead Rivera said it’s very quiet and peaceful.
“Everybody is off doing their own thing in my house,” said Rivera.
On Rivera’s free time between football and studying, he enjoys hanging out with his friends and watching his favorite T.V show, “Tom and Jerry.”
On boring days, he said he spends plenty of time on YouTube and walking around Bazine with his friends.
Rivera is just like every other teenager across America. He enjoys being young and living life to the fullest.
