Foster Homes By: Sarah M. Ok, well, I got in a lot of trouble the other day and I might me going to a foster home. So I was wondering how they are. What are the plus side of things and the bad things about them? So are they scary, are they really bad, am I going to hate it so much, is it better than it was in your house, would you rather be in a foster home than in your own house? I don’t really like where I’m living now. But I don’t know if a foster home would be better. So if your have an opinion on a foster home please help me because I need all the help I can get?

DEAR SARAH M.,

Foster homes are not that bad, some are freaking awesome and some are really lame. The plus sides are you get clothing money every month, but for the first time you are in a foster home you get 160 dollars plus the clothing money for that month, the bad things about it is the 2 week restriction you get when you first get there, so you can get to know th foster family and a little bit less freedom. Some are scary, some are not, no they are not really bad, some are really fun, you might, you might not it all depends how you look at it as something bad or something good, no it isn't better than my house, I'd rather be at my own house, because I had a lot more freedom than I do now and there is no better comfort than to be with your own family.

-Book Review-

My book Review is on Hatchet. What the book is about is a boy named Brian. What happens is that he was on his way to his dad’s house in a small plane and the plane driver has a heart attack. Then the plane crashes into a lake and Brian was on his own in the middle of no where. What I thought about this book is it’s interesting and he learns a lot about the wild. I give the book 5 stars.

BOOK REVIEW By: Jay N.

The book that I am choosing is “The Time Machine”. The movie is about a guy who is an inventor and he builds a time machine so he can undo the past. He wants to save his women from dying, so he could change the part were his women dies. The sad thing is that he couldn’t change the past from happening and he feels really sorry. He decides to go back in time again, but for some reason I think that he passes out on the time machine from probably getting drunk and he goes way back into time and he meets this one woman that he thinks is the right woman for him. that’s all that I could probably tell you, because if you want to see this movie sometime then I don’t want to ruin the movie for you. The authors name that made this movie is H.G. Wells. The reason that I am choosing this book is because I think that it is a pretty good book. Did you know that they also have a movie of this book and it is an awesome movie. At first when me and my dad bought this movie I didn’t think that I would like it all that much, but it turned out to be pretty good. If anyone hasn’t seen this movie before I think that you probably should, because after all you don’t know what you are missing and when you see it you might have a different opinion than I do.

I love you! Love is like a black hole filled with hate and lonliness. “ I love you” are just three words put together and they mean nothing. Those three words are tossed around like a couple of pancakes! And they’re in the relationship just to get something..! If you want to say I love you, think about it first and tell someone you know loves you back. Sometimes you think you love someone but it turns out it’s just lust…

Dear ARTEC, I’m writing to you about what’s changed at ATREC. There are so many new people. They have changed so much. I love being at ARETEC, because I find it small, fun, and great with helping us. Before I came to ARTEC I never came to school, because everybody at my old school hated me so I never went to school. ARTEC is a great place to be when you hate a lot of people. ARTEC has like 100, to 150 kids total. At a regular junior high, or high school there is like 1,000 kids. Before I came to ARTEC I had straight f’s, now I have straight a’s. People are court ordered to be here, and some kids just come here, because they want to be here. Some people hate ARTEC and some people love being at ARTEC. To me ARTEC is a second home to me. Most of the people here are in foster care. There are very few kids in ARTEC that live with their birth parents. I live with my real mom, but my real dad lives in Alaska with my little sister Alexis. Some other things that have changed at ARTEC are the class schedule. We use to have first am skills, period, second period, third period, lunch, fifth period, sixth period, and then eval. On Wednesdays of the old schedule it went am skills, first period, second period, third period, fourth period, lunch, and then clubs, or team day. Now we have am skills, first period, second period, lunch, third period, firth period, and then eval. On Wednesdays of the new schedule is am skills, first period, second period, third period, fourth period, lunch, and then cubs, or team day. Where ever I look now I see a new face. There are very few kids that have been here a year. I’ve been here for a year and about a month, and a half. The things that are the same as when I started are the uniforms of sweats grey, or white, and shirts that are white, or grey also, the classes, and the some of the teachers. The classes are all the same. The classes we have are art, science, computers, math, history, PE, English, and finance. The teachers have all most all stayed the same are Sandy, Big Mike, Texas Mike, Eilene, Oz, Jim, Ryan, Ann, Tammy and Mike B. The teachers that have changed are David for Liz, and Gary. The advocates haven’t changed. The advocates are Steve, Brian, Josue, Sergio, Kaylin, and Butch. The therapist’s haven’t changed either. The therapist’s are Richard, Debby, Heather, Jenny, Alyssa, and Margie. Well, thanks for reading my Dear ARTEC.

Music Review: Linkin Park

Linkin Park is one of the best hard-rock bands that was ever formed. They formed the band back in 1996 in Agoura Hills, California. Personally, my favorite album of theirs is Hybrid Theory. The band members are: Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, and Rob Bourdon. They were very close high school buddies, and decided to become Linkin Park.

Book Review

The book I just finished is called Re: Play By: C.Lijewski Published By: Tokyopop Inc. It’s a Japanese comic book the category it can be found in the drama romance section of the comic books. It’s about a group of teen adults who are in a band when the bassist drops out before the biggest show of their lives. The lead singer Cree is going home when she hears someone playing the guitar and she stops to listen and she gives the bum a one hundred dollar bill, and she asked him to join the band. Well, that’s all I’m going to tell you, you would have to read the book to find out more of the plot.

Dear Artec My brother Alex is leaving on the 25th, and he’s the treasurer of student council. I don’t think like having a 12yr old take care of our money is a good idea. If Alex leaves this will happen. I think a 12yr old would be less responsible than a 16yr old. I feel like Alex shouldn’t leave til the next election. By Darion

Music review- I’m Here Without You

What I think about this song is it's awesome, because I am without my mom and this song talks about being without someone. This song makes me feel sad, because I haven’t seen my mom in 3 years. I first heard this song when I was with my first girlfriend. I first heard that this song was by Three Doors Down when I moved to Saratoga Springs in Lehi from a girl down the street from me 15 months ago. This song was my 1st girlfriend’s and my song.

An Opinion My opinion about A.R.T.E.C is that it is really annoying sometimes. But most of the time it is all right. Also once you get used to it it's fun. Also I think that A.R.T.E.C should cut back on school. A.R.T.E.C is a cool place, but it can also be lame too, that is my opinion.

I hate it when people steel your stuff. Like when my Game Boy got stolen. I had it in the staff’s office and it still was stolen. I think that they should use the cameras more. That way they can catch the person who stole it.

MOVIE REVIEW

HALLOWEEN: Michael Myers This Horror/suspense movie is rated R for Violence, Inappropriate Content, and Language. Re-Directed by ROB ZOMBIE! This movie is intense with horror, if you like being scared, you’ll like this movie. It describes Michael’s life as a kid (which tells why he’s a black-hearted psychopath. I rate this move Five stars *! By Austin R.



A Little More Love is all around you so take a hold. Hidden in our words sometimes ain’t enough? Don’t suffocate day after day. It's building because when you’re feeling weak you know I’m strong enough. Just one more day, one more day. Oh, let the world crash, love can take it. Oh let the world come crashing down. Oh let the world crash, love can take it. Love can take a little, love can give a little more. Love is indestructible, so take a hold. Sometimes hard to find a reason good enough. I’ll stand beside you, never leave, through it all and faith will bring away. To the impossible you can find me. You can find me anywhere. Take a look over your shoulder. I’ll be standing there.

The I pod Hello again this is Tyler and I am doing Artec news and my news article is on the I pod. The first Ipod that ever came out was about 2 or 3 years ago. It was so freaking ugly in my opinion. I think ipod has come a really long way ever since they did came out with the Ipod. When someone comes out with something that everyone wants then it will make the company rich. I think Apple would have eventually gone out of business, but thanks to the guy that invented the Ipod I think he saved Apple.
