Seniors Against Abortions (Senior Project)


For the seniors, they had to do a senior project. The girls that came to our class had done they’re projects on abortion. They were talking about how it was bad for you and how it can harm your body, what it does to your baby. The two girls Shayira and Sierra, were against abortions, and gave details why it was. Shayira was saying that she was against abortions because that is a life that you are aborting. She also stated that if she had got pregnant at the age she is now she would get an abortion because she is not ready. That was really weird to me, like how you say you are against abortions, nut would get and abortion if you get pregnant. Sierra was saying that it is other ways to prevent/avoid pregnancy. She had said that you could use condoms, give the baby up for adoption, don’t have sex at all, or give the baby to a family member until you think you are ready to be a mother. Me myself, I am also against abortions. I think that is killing a life, like what if your parents killed you, you wouldn’t be here right now. If you think you are grown enough to lie down and have sex, you are grown enough to take care of the baby that you made. If you know you are not financially ready for a baby, don’t have sex at all. Sierra said she would not get an abortion; she would have her baby and take care of her responsibility. The same ting I would do, but I’m not even thinking about sex. I really enjoyed their presentations and thought they did a wonderful job. They were talking to us like we were they friends. They weren’t all scared, and they were really energetic.

Trayvon Martin story !


The Trayvon Martin story has been the talk of the streets and school. What actually happened was a disgrace! A 28 year old Hispanic American man named George Zimmerman shot and killed a 17 year old African American boy named Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman claimed that he felt that he was in danger, and took it upon himself and shot him. All this was located in Sanford, Florida on February 26, 2012. Martin was unarmed and had an Arizona Iced Tea and a pack of Skittles in his hand and Zimmerman claimed he was armed. At the time Zimmerman was a neighborhood watch man. According to the article, Martin was visiting his father and his stepmother at her gated townhome where Zimmerman was also living. That is really crazy Zimmerman should be ashamed in his self. Like how could you kill an innocent teen? That was someone’s child, someone’s brother, someone’s family member! I’m really thinking that George killed him because he was black in a nice neighborhood. On the police call, it was said that the police officer asked Zimmerman was he following Martin. He told the police officer that he was and the police officer said “we don’t need you to do that.” But Zimmerman took it upon his self and still continued to follow him. Like he should be locked up for not following a police officer’s directions. Also during the police call you could hear a voice screaming “HELP, HELP, HELP, HELP!” continuously, then you heard a gunshot and then there was no more screaming, and Zimmerman said it wash him screaming. How was it him screaming if after the gunshot, the screaming suddenly stopped? So that’s how you know he was lying! I feel as though Zimmerman should get life in jail since he took an innocent boy’s who Trayvon Martins life is! R.I.P Trayvon Martin
