Fight
When I was in the 8th grade I got into a fight with this girl who was supposed to have been my close fiend at that time. We spent the whole spring break together but when we returned to school and rumors were spread about something she did and I wouldn’t take up for her she got angry and lied on me, by spreading note cards. Of course when you’re a youth at that age in middle school, you let peer pressure make your decisions. So I approached her about the note cards one morning and she caught an attitude so we got into a fight. At first I tried to avoid the fight by not worrying about the note cards, but it upset me that we were supposed to be friends and she went behind my back and lied. The outcome of the fight was, her and I being suspended for 3 days, but she admitted to doing it and she wanted to be friends right away again. But I refused because that was wrong, but after about a month or so I started speaking to her again. It sort of hurt our relationship a little because I will never trust her or be close to her as best friends again. In the end I learned that you can never really trust someone or consider them a true friend until you’ve known them for quite some time, and still keep them close by then to make sure they don’t betray you.

Unit 3: Assignment 1
Growing Up: Exciting or Painful
Growing up can give you many different feelings about yourself and life. As a child you never worry about many problems except having fun and playing with your friends and toys. Then as time begins to pass you start to deal with more issues and problems, such as school and responsibilities. The most exciting parts of growing up are imagining all of the good things that you want in life. As you get older you start to realize that you have to work hard to get those tings in life because it’s not easy. Growing up can be very painful especially as a teenager because of peer pressure. You know in your mind that you want to do the right thing but then you let what others do make an impact on you. These can be painful moments of your life because you have such big decision to make. I feel that growing up is a hard job because you have many expectations from a lot of people in your life and the world.

Assignment 6: Document Reflection
Boston Tea Party Witness
From reading the article on the Boston Tea Party I learned many important facts about the era of the Revolutionary. The British had the most power over mostly everyone and it wasn’t fair because they would invade others privacy. All of the British colonists were selfish; the moment of the Boston Tea Party they threw millions of cases of tea overboard their ship. There were many British people that were apart of this act and didn’t even know the other. What surprised me the most was the fact that, there was tea left and was visible from the harbor but they would send small ships back to destroy the tea with oars. There were Boston citizens who tried to save some of the tea for their families, but they were caught and destroyed as well as the tea. I feel that the British had no right to tax Boston citizens for any reason or condition, but they had that right.
