My name is S and I am leaving artec next week! (: I am really excited… I get to go home, clear to Richfield, and spend all the time with my best friend and my family that I so love. (: I'm not gonna lie, I will miss rehab a little bit, but I’m more excited to get out. I’ve been in rehab for a year and a half and I think I can stay sober now.. Thanks to all the staff for your help and all of my peers for teaching me many things (like patience.) I can’t wait to get out of here…it’s been wayyy too long!! Goodbye everyone and good luck!!! (:

Book Review The Battle for Scandia The Battle for Scandia is an epic book written by John Flanagan. It takes place in the heart of the Scandian’s home country. They are being invaded by people who want their ships so that they can go and concur Araluan. Araluan is the home land of the main character Will. Will was taken captive and given to the Ruler, Oberjarl Ragnak as a gift and was treated savagely as a slave. Will escapes from slavery only to come back and help the Scandian’s out when war is looming ahead.

**My Bloody Life The Making of Latin Kings.** One of my favorite books is My Bloody Life. That’s my favorite book, because it has so many meanings behind it.It’s about looking for an escape of child abuse. Also the character turns to baseball instead of drugs and gangs. This is my favorite book, because these are the kinds of book I like and the only books I'll read.Much Love,K

// My Life Is Like….. //

// By N // // Something always comes up // // I feel like my life is a cup //

// I’m filled and emptied so quickly // // My heart is becoming sickly //

// My life is like a brick wall // // Once it’s knocked down all it can do is fall // // Brick by brick there goes it all //

// Down to the ground // // Pound by Pound // // Some pieces will never be found //

// My life is like a book // // Missing so many pages they took // // To take a good look //

// Once it’s gone it’s gone // // The pages will quit going on //

// No more turning the page // // It stops at this age //

// My life is like a shoe // // Being walked all over by you // // Nothing can ever be true //

// It won’t last forever // // Even if you think you’re clever // // No matter how many times you say never //

// Your cup will be empty // // Your wall will take its last fall, // // Your book will come to an end // // Your shoe will longer fit // // Then you’re stuck with no life and no sense of feeling and self. Then what do you do? // // Not knowing what life is like anymore. // Mirror Mirror **I look into my niece's eyes.** **Every piece inside me wants to die.** **She is the little girl that I once was.** **Always trying to move on.** **And stay strong.** **But everything that she does is always wrong.** **Raising herself at a young age.** **Starting to feel all the rage.** **Mom’s never around.** **She’s stuck in the dope world.** **That sent her through a big whirl.** **Downwards.** **Dad’s never there either.**

Grand Theft Auto. <3 My favorite video game is Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Growing up I always would play this game, my brothers and I all the time! I can’t wait until I get out because Ima go get San Andreas 5. I’m excited. I love running away from the cops, and jacking their whips jajaja too legit. By: V

Dear ARTEC,

Why do you always smell like crap? Every time I come back from a home visit, it smells like something died. Why can’t we always have 3 staff? It’s annoying not being able to do stuff due to lack of staff. Why can’t we play games on the computers? I think it wouldn’t be hard for staff to watch us. Why can we only get candy and soda on weekends? It’s lame. I think this place is really boring and it could be so much better.

Good bye ARTEC By C

Good bye Artec I’m leaving Artec on Thursday the 27th. I’m going to West Jordan Middle School. I have learned that there is more ways to deal with problems instead of drugs. When I dip out of here I am looking forward to getting out of the system and going back to California. I have also learned good coping skills and good social skills. I am not going to miss anything here maybe just some chill stuff. I don’t want to come back to Artec again, also for the day treatment kids, just finish your stuff so you won't come to Artec, because you don’t go home. Good Bye Artec I'M DIPPING OUT OF HERE BY I

Movie Reviews I thought that Catching Fire was a great movie. It had lots of action and suspense. The acting was very excellent as well; I could feel what the characters were feeling. The movie was not as good as the book. Catching Fire could have had a lot more detail and explain things a little bit better, instead of concentrating on all the action. Over all I would give it 4 stars.

J Current event A current event is my birthday and it is coming up in 2 months. What I want to do for my birthday is call my dad and hang out with my mom. I don’t really want much, but to be happy. My mom’s birthday is the day before mine and I want to buy her a present, but I don’t know what I want to get her. I think I might get her roses. My oldest brother he is turning 13 and he is chill, his birthday is the day after mine, so we eat lots of cake, it's so sick.

My favorite technology

My favorite technology is a phone.

I love to text my friends. It is an addiction. I would stay awake every night just texting them. It was so fun. I remember when I got my first phone it was so cool. I thought I was so cool, but now I’m just addicted. So that is my favorite technology. My first phone was an iphone. By Ciera

Tour Car Racing

This is a type of racing that isn’t normal (compared to F1 or Nascar racing). Instead of stripped out supped up cars (Nascar) or specially made super computer cars (F1) they use normal cars that you can drive on the road. The only thing they have in it is what the owner can afford to do to their car. Anyone can enter this sport. But not anyone can win this sport. There are around 180 people per-race and the cars in these races aren’t always normal cars. There might be a Civic or two that’s supped up, but usually there’s cars like Lambos and Ferraris. The winner of the 2013 championship drove a McLaren mp4-12c high sport Gt3 that was stripped out and lowered.

Star Wars The Force Unleashed

What I thought about the book is:

I thought that Star Wars is in a galaxy far far away.

Star Wars is like my fifth favorite thing.

I am a really big fan of Star Wars.

I think of Star Wars almost every day.

I read the book, play the games and watch the movies.

My favorite characters are Yoda and Darth Vader.

The Lego Movie is awesome.

Emmet, the main person in the movie, is a worker at a job where you follow instructions and build new buildings. Emmet falls in a hole after seeing someone looking for something. He sees this big Red Lego block and he becomes hypnotized to go touch it. He wakes up and has the Lego piece stuck to his back. Watch the rest of the movie at a theater near you.

Sports My favorite football team is Denver Broncos. I have liked them since I was little. I like Payton Manning the most because he is a good quarter back when he is not stressed about his players that are slacking. He could have won the Super BowlI will like them till I grow old. My dad was the one that got me to love them. Go Broncos!!! By B
