When should you take action against injustice, and when is it okay just to let it be?
When you know that it could end up being violent you should let it go. But when it’s just a joke or you know that nothing could happen. You should stand up to them like teasing. If it’s a stereotypical joke then it’s ok to step in or step out. But if it’s a racist, age, or gender comment something should be done.

2nd Authentic
After dryland, as I jumped into the silk I was weak. Every stroke I took I couldn’t feel. I was in a fairy tale. Whenever I came in for the flip the bubbles swim past me. But the bubbles look animated. My vision usually fogged up after a 50 but it just stayed. I couldn’t figure is this a dream. But the pain gave it away, first in the shoulder. Then it was in the legs. It just kept moving everywhere. Like a bubble of torture floating around in a trapped body. Instead of breathing every five strokes it went to three… two… then I found my self struggling for air. I felt like an asthmatic trying to breath while experiencing the effects of his sickness. I was breathing in nothing.

I didn’t understand anything at all. Yet the scorching pain and the animated scene was quite disturbing. I started thinking what I was capable of doing. What I could be . I heard them say I have more potential. Maybe but today was not the day.

How do they change the way that you think of owning land?
It makes me feel lucky. That I even have the opportunity to have a good life.
This picture makes me feel like I am so lucky to have green and real fence and stuff. It’s really sad to know that these kinds of things happened.

Disclaimer: It’s somewhat true, not going to say which parts are though
World War II had many stories. But usually from rumor, or from generations. Well this one is from a generation but a very close one. Grampa in fact, he was flying. The gun man, he was in charge of the machine gun. There was precisely five of them. They got shot, the plane got bombed. He was in the wing, and he was the only one saved. He broke an arm and cracked 3 ribs. No one thought it was bad. Eh… one in three million. But I think it affected me the most and my brother. I think yeah it was 3 million, but wen it come to the fact that I could have been dead, I don’t think about like that anymore. I could have been somebody else completely. So I think we should be thankful for all we have.

Fiction
Transfer Student From Africa
Stereo-typing always hurt. She is blond, she is black, he’s white, she is weird and he is African. “You are so black! Where did you come from like Africa???” “Ummm, yes actually yes. Morrocco.” “Hahaha, you know what a tv is? hahahaha” How could they say such a thing. Yes we do, do you know what culture means? People don’t care what they think, maybe they do after. But saying things like that is just not right. The tape of that moment just kept rolling in my head. The guys’ laughter kept banging in my head. I got migraine headaches. I decided to stop myself. Forget about it.

My responses to some of their blogs.
I’m Sassy
You spelled Colorado wrong. Also, yes we have done that before. Last year, but it didn’t really work very well.
Miss Smartypants
I think that first impression is not the most important thing. I don’t know the whole buddy thing is with our class so yeah.
Nothing Is Impossible
I liked how they used Colorado and the strange box together.
I’m A Rockstar
You guys need to work on spelling. I thought that you are really excited to meet us.
