Pre - Writing

I believe in accomplishing things in life. I believe in this because if someone really puts their mind to something and maybe has a person by his / her side, they can do anything they want to.


In my life, I have accomplished things that I always thought that I could never do. Throughout this entire situation I have had my mom, a few family members, and a few others by my side saying " Meghan, you are doing so well.. keep up the excellent work." My situation is that I never thought that I would finish school. When I went to middle school, my attendance was good enough to say that yeah I was there, so what. My freshmen year I started off well, but torwards the end i started messing up. Sophmore year, I had promised myself that im going to do the best that I could and start going to school and doing my work. I had followed my promise all the way through that school year. As soon as my junior year hit me, I finally realized that I really need to put my ALL into what im doing, and step my game up.

It was all doing so well until one day a teacher had called me to the side and said that she would like to speak with me for a minute. She said that I was missing a little assignment in her class and that she wanted me to stay after to finish it up. I had told her repeatedly and politely that i was not able to only because I am babysitting directly after school. I guess that she didn't like my answer because when I had turned to walk away, she had grabbed my arm to get my attention.. But honeslty, that had only made me more mad. So all I did is just look at her, and turned and walked away.

That same day as soon as I had gotten home and told my mom the situation, she immediately and had me transfer to a different school. for the rest of the year, it went good. my attendance was increasing, my grades were going alot higher, etc. So following that, I had proven to my mom that as long as I was never in that teachers class again, I will do very well. As I was going into my senior year, my little sister was a freshmen. That was another reason my mom wanted me to go back to the other school. So I had attended school on a regular basis for a couple months. But when it was time for schedule changes, I had immediately wanted to quit school, because I didn't feel like dealing with the drama from that specific teacher.

I Believe Brainstorming

2. I believe that everything happends for a reason.
3. I believe that in life, everyone at least deserves a second chance.

Like And Dislike About Salem

Some of the things that I do like about Salem are that where ever you're at, you can always find some where to go or even something to do. There are so many parks, buildings with activities to do inside, malls, etc. I was born and raised here, I know a good amount of people here, and most of my family lives here. A couple of things that I don't like is that mainly every corner you turn, there is someone holding a homeless sign. Also everyone has their own opinion, and some people think that Salem is a bad place for kids to grow up at.

Is It Important ? .

I think that you should stand up for your family without hesitating one second. No matter what the situation is. Because automatically you should know that if you were ever in a situation, they would do the same exact thing for you too. You should also be able to stand up for you friends because if they were that good friend that you have always thought of them as, you would probably assume that they would do it for you without thinking about it twice. Yeah I have had to stand up for my family, but I've never been in the situation to stand up for my friends.

; Double Identity ;

Lately at home I have been reading this book called Double Identity. Honestly when I looked at the cover, and the title, I thought that it was going to be another boring book. But I was wrong. So far this book is about a little 12 year old girl who has been under her parents care her whole life. They dont let her go to friends house, to the malls / stores, don't let her go on field trips with her classmates at school, nothing. One day she came home from school to find her suitcases already packed by the front door. She asked her father where they were going? She got no answer. Her, her father, and her mother all got into the car and just drove. I think that the book said that they drove across 6 states. Her father had taken her to her "aunts" house, (a lady that she has never met) and dropped her off.

That is as far as I have gotten in this book right now.. But I am going to keep reading, because to me this is just starting to get interesting.

I think that a reason people write music and poetry is because it's a positive way for them to express how they feel about something. Not anything specific. Maybe something from their childhood, something horrible that happened to them, or maybe even something that was good and they remember every detail.
