The Lost Boys

    Last Friday, we watched a video called The Lost Boys that was about a bunch of black kids got kicked out of their homes becuase if they didn't leave, they would be killed by their own government. It was sad that all these kids were being killed and they were no older than us. A lot of them were killed during their trip to saftety. They had to leave their village and travel many miles to get to get to a UN camp that would keep them safe. It was sad to hear some of the survivors of this to tell their stories and what they seen.

  One of the survivors seen other lost boys die by mortars and gun shots. He has seen a lot of things in his lifetime that most people will never see. He was too young and he shouldn't have had to see that. Even after they got to the UN Camp, it still wasn't safe because 2 years after they got there, they had to leave again because that camp was closing. So the Lost Boys were in trouble again and had to flee out of the country to get freedom. They even had to cross a river filled with Crocodiles and that was really dangerous.

  In the end, a lot of the Lost Boys died but a lot survived too. There are a few survivors that live in the United States now and have continued their learning. These guys are really great because even after all they've been through, they still want to continue their learning. That is really great that these people are taking advantage of our learning system and they are learning the most they can.

Phanha Can't Sing

 So Phanharith Dang a.k.a Phanha loves to sing but what he doesn't know is that he needs singing lessons(No offense). Phanha loves to sing on Xbox Live, while in class, while in band, and probably more places. You would think that he would be the best singer in the world because of how much he sings but he just makes my ears bleed and I go deaf for a good 5 minutes. It definitly hurt my ears when I had my Turtle Beaches on max volume, Phanha started singing and I think I went deaf for like half an hour. It was horrible singing and I couldn't even understand what he was saying because he was listening to some Korean Pop Song by SNSD. They actually aren't that bad but when you add Phanha's voice in it, it ruins it(sadface).

  I think I figure out a way to not go deaf while listening to Phanha sing. It might be the greatest invention ever imagined and they are called ear-plugs. I secretly put them in while Phanha isn't paying attention and when he starts singing, I hear nothing!!! When were on Xbox Live, I end up just lowering my mic's volume to where I can barely hear him and it works great also. So when your stuck listening to a Cambodian/Vietnamese kid singing Korean pop, just pop in some ear-plugs and you are fine.

Scheduling

      Today we have to make our scheldules and it is a very tough descision to make. I don't know what classes I want to choose classes that will help me out in the future but they look really hard. Next year is going to be very challenging but I think I can do it. I hope that I keep my classes with my friends so it will be a little bit easier. The classes I am going to try to take will be AP English III, Pre-Calculus, Chemistry II, AP European History, US Government, Sociology, Physical Education II, and Foods I. These are some challenging classes.
      I still have a whole period left so I am thinking about taking Spanish III but I don't know about that. I am really confused about what to do. I am really going to be busy next year but it will help out in the future and save me a lot of money because of those AP classes. I also need to take some electives because I need more credits to make my transcript look better. This is going to be a tough school year but it will be worthwhile.
