CHRISTMAS

One of my favorite holidays is Christmas.Christmas is my favorite because I like to spend time with my family. On Christmas my family will make a big Christmas brunch, with all my family at my grandma’s house and we have a big party with all my family too. When all of my sisters go to sleep my mom and I go and wrap presents and put them under the tree. Then we go to bed and wait to get woken up again. We go up the living room and we eat some breakfast.

Gears of War is about a war that breaks out between a monstrous creature that is named Locust and the humans, which are cogs. They must defeat these creatures in order to save the world. There are three main characters Marcus, Dom, and Anya. The locust have their queen and her main bodyguard, the berzerker. Then the cogs leader, Preston, must help the cogs defeat these creatures. I think this game is just really fun and if you get the chance to play it have fun.

Mario Bros Jared.R

I feel this is the best game ever, also a great classic, yet I myself always

get mad when I die. My favorite character is Mario, of course, but Luigi is pretty cool too though. Can you believe some one could hate Mario Bros it sounds ridiculous? I against mushrooms on Mario though they are fun. Look me up if you can, otherwise peace out!

Life

In life I see more kids on the streets doing crimes

Instead of going to school to educate their mind

And people saying the world’s going to end that’s a lie

When it does though, it’ll be like a thief in the night

People doing drugs just to fly

You don’t have to ruin your mind just to feel high

I know people who threw away their life

Ether suicide or in prison serving life

So when you choose that path make sure it’s right

Because a right path can benefit your life

**__The Python __** Who goes into the cage of a 20ft python and decides to stay for a whileTest their fate, I guess that’s usOur poisons were a little different than reptiles thoughWe chose needles and pipesChemically made substances to play with our brainsIt landed us here in rehabWatching kids on playgrounds playWe had that once, but we gave it upAnd for what?We have to get up when we’re told,Go to sleep when we’re told,And eat what we’re told.Now look that python in the face and askAre you worth that?I ask myself,What did I like that python for so much in the first place?Maybe those things are meant to stay behind glassI should have ranFar awayI knew what he was when I decided to take a dance with the devilThey don’t lieListen to the people who knowBecause even though they escapedThe devil follows them everywhere that they goNow the devils in my shadowHe watches me when I sleepAnd tempts me in my dreamsHe affects my sightAnd when I let himHe keeps me from seeing the lightHe tempts me with pain and pleasure,But in the end it’s all just a trickLive your life for the real and the lightBecause once you enter the devil’s darknessIt’s always a fightYou may take flightBut you’ll never forgetThe chaos he caused youYou’ll never forgetThat with one little kissHe can make everything disappear for one little bitFor the price of my blissI sold him my soulAnd now he will never let it goI will want to run to him to fix all my sorrowsIf I can’t free myselfI’ll run out of tomorrows

** Dear Mama ** **I wouldn’t take any of it back.**
 * I’ma start out by taking it slow. **
 * I want to tell you all the things that you didn’t know. **
 * First of all, thank you for bringing me into this world. **
 * You went through hell, just to make my life well. **
 * You gave me love, affection, and attention. **
 * Who knew down the road, your little **** niña **** would be sitting in detention. Forgive me mama, for all the BS I put you through. **
 * Always left you thinking to yourself, “What did I do?” **
 * It wasn’t your fault; I chose to be thug, always running the streets, **
 * trying to help you make ends meet by dealing that cheese. **
 * I’m sorry for all those many sleepless nights; I had you waiting by the phone, **
 * praying that I’d come back home. **
 * Always had you tripping about me, **
 * and where in the world I could be. **
 * Fearing the day, where the FEDS would say, **
 * “We found your little girl in the lake yesterday.” **
 * So many late night fights, always screaming and cussing. **
 * Many times I’d wish it was a dream but it wasn’t. **
 * Things were messed-up, between you and I. **
 * Though I wouldn’t show my pain, I too did cry. **
 * When I’d be out on the streets, you were always on my mind. **
 * I knew how much I was hurting you, yet I acted like I was blind. **
 * I wish I could rewind and take back the nights, **
 * where I would scream that I hated you, and that I wish you would die. Thinking about all this crap brings tears to my eyes. **
 * Forgive me mama, for all of my selfish ways. **
 * I was always thinking about myself, and nobody else. **
 * I know I hurt you deep, but please believe that was never my intention. **
 * I love you so much mama that was something I didn’t mention. **
 * Raising two little girl’s in the city of Salt Lake. **
 * Working 3 jobs, never getting a break. **
 * Thank you mama, for making me a strong, beautiful woman. **
 * You did it on your own cause daddy wasn’t a real man. **
 * Age 13, the FEDS picked me up and took me away. **
 * You were screaming and yelling, telling them to let me stay. **
 * I looked into your dark brown eyes, and you told me to pray. **
 * Told me over and over, “Everything’s going to be okay.” **
 * Late at night in my cell, I’d stay up and cry. **
 * Thinking about the pain I caused, made me feel like I deserved to die. **
 * How twisted and sad can it get, **
 * when you have to visit your kid through a glass window because she’s seen as a threat? **
 * Never did I tell you, how truly sorry I was. **
 * Always laughing in your face, as them tears would start to fall. **
 * But deep down inside, I never meant any of it at all. **
 * Making a call, to tell you that I wasn’t coming home. **
 * You’d be begging and crying, but at the other end of the line, **
 * I was with the homies riding. **
 * Please hear me out when I say I’m sorry in every way. **
 * I chose to play the game, and in the end I came out walking in shame. **
 * I know it’ shard for you to believe, because you’ve heard this all before. **
 * But mama understand that I don’t want to hurt you no more. **
 * I’ve caused a lot of pain, **
 * and did a lot of things that made me feel ashamed. On the real, **
 * Because with each mistake I’ve made, I’ve gained something out of that. Time has passed, people have changed. **
 * For what happened to me in the past, no one’s to be blamed. **
 * While being locked-up, my eyes have opened up. **
 * And I realized mama that I truly messed-up. **
 * Thank you mama, for always sticking by my side. **
 * For never giving up on me, unlike some so called homies. **
 * It was you that stuck till the end. **
 * You believed in me, you became my friend. **
 * I love you mama, and thank you for hearing me out. **

SkyrimMy video game review! I think the series of the Elder Scrolls is the best game of the year! I first was introduced to this game in 2010, it was Elder Scrolls VI Oblivion. I loved it. I would play this game nonstop for weeks just trying to keep going and leveling up. I think many people would love this game and I would recommend it to a lot of people to play! That’s my video game review.The game is about the ancient times during dragons, wizards, and knights. You fight for the survival of your “Guild” so that you rank up in the guilds and in your power. It will earn you respect throughout the continent of Skyrim.5 Stars.By: Anthony



I am going to graduate tomorrow December 4th, 2012. I have been here since August 9th. I have learned so much since I have been here. I have been in trouble with the law multiple times. Since I have been here I learned how to control my anger a lot more and that has helped me out in a lot of ways. I have learned peer refusal skills here, because I used to never be able to say no. But when I get out I will make it work I. don’t want to get in trouble anymore.

Oakland Raiders My favorite football team is the Oakland Raiders. I like the Oakland Raiders, because they’re really a symbol of hope. No matter how bad they’re doing they always work their hardest. The Oakland Raiders have had many players that are a couple of the best in the NFL. Randy Moss was my favorite player for the team. They used to be the Los Angelas Raiders, back in the day. I am a diehard Raiders fan, not because of any players, not because the colors , but because they’re very motivated to win. By; Kaine.

Hunger Games When I first saw the Hunger Games it tripped me out. The part that tripped me out is when they get off the train and there are all the weird people with weird clothing and hair styles. Hunger Games was intense. I have never seen a movie like that. Personally I would have a hard time doing what they had to do to survive, but I would do it to stay alive. The part that was shocking was when they were running through the forest in the night and those vicious dogs were chasing them. By: Joseph What’s cool? Dirt bikes:

ARTEC News My favorite sport is basketball and my favorite basketball team is the Chicago Bulls. Only because of Michael Jordan and he was a legend in what he did, because he was trying out for his high school basketball team. He was not good enough so he didn’t make the team. He didn’t stop trying even though he didn’t make it. He didn’t give up and never stop playing basketball until he made it to the top and since he played for the BullsI liked them ever since and that’s my favorite basketball team. By: Dyqwhon

Tupac Shakur By Baylee Tupac Shakur is a legend. There are many different songs that show Tupac’s true devotion to his music and to his life as part of the streets. He is a true inspiration and his music can be reached out to anyone with a past, a hard story. Tupac proves his true devotion is his music and you can definitely tell by his lyrics. His song “Changes” and “Dear Mama” are very good examples on how he brings his mind to his words. There will never be another Tupac Shakur. I rate his music and his lyrics a 5 on a scale from 1 to 5.

Christmas is coming up soon Christmas is my favorite holiday I like the way the food smells and especially if it Mexican food. In my family we make tamales and menudo and posole. And to drink my mom makes champurado, those are some of the foods that my family makes and I wake up to every Christmas Eve. I also like Christmas because it is a happy holiday to celebrate and be happy where ever you are.
