Reflection

I really think I've changed since the beginning of the year. Some ways I changed is I used to be late every morning, but now I'm on time everyday. I am about 15 minutes early, and I still am early to class. Also I getting used to managing my work in my major classes. At first I thought I wasn’t going to be able to do it, I used to always want to go to a different school. Honestly, I was going to ask my mom could I go to Overbrook so it could be easier. But I know my grandmother wouldn’t want me to go to that type of school. She would want the best for me, so I decided to stick it out and see how Parkway goes. If I couldn’t take the work, I would consider a tutor. My old school was pretty challenging to, but I went there for 9 years. So it was really easy after a few years. Also in the beginning of the year, I had C’s in English and Physical Science, but then I had B’s in both of those classes. In Journalism, I was and still am very overwhelmed with all the work. I feel as though I've been stressing a little bit. It gives me a headache every time I think about all the work I have to do. But I mean I guess Mr. Petro is preparing us for the future ahead of us. Plus, when we first started school, I didn’t know anything about writing articles, but now I'm actually good at them. My last article didn’t have that many mistakes on it than my first one. And I'm more mature, I don’t act all childish, but I'm still silly. But that will never change, so you could forget that.

Twin Babies killed by own mother!

On May 24, 2012 in Philadelphia, 41 year old Stacey Smalls killed her 1 1/2 twin babies Adam and Eve and tried poisioning her 4 year old daughter. She said the reason for killing them was because of her husband having an affair with her 25 year old daughter from a previous relationship. Like that is really crazy and dumb of her. Why would you kill your own kids, plus they were babies at that. If she was that mad her husband, she could’ve just tried to kill him instead of killing her kids. They also said she tried cutting herself by trying to slice her wrist. But the thing about that is she sliced her wrist horizontally, when trying to kill yourself you are supposed to slice your wrist vertically, right down the vein. I really cant believe that, when I first heard about it, I was really sad. I don’t have sympathy for Stacey, I have sympathy for the kids and her husband. Neighbors was saying that everything was normal and she seemed really normal earlier that day. Police say the way she killed the kids was drowning one of them, then suffocated the other. Like are you serious? I wonder when she was doing that, what was going through her head. Like was her conscious saying “STOPPP” or was it saying “YEAHHHH GOOD JOB.” Like honsestly I don’t even have enough heart to kill anybody or really even my own children I would ever have any. Well I hope the best for her other children and her husband. But most of all, I hope Stacey Smalls learn her lesson!
