The Italian Flag means a lot to me because im half italian. Some people dont think flags are all that important, that they just symbolize a country. Well, to other people, flags mean a lot, they represent they’re heritage. I take pride in my heritage. It also means, purity–white, love–red, freedom–green. If i were to be a slave, i would look too this flag as a sign of hope.

I asked 15 people “What does the american flag symbolize to you?” these were the answers i got:

in the year of 1814, the United States declared war against the birtish. Even though the U.S didnt have any experience what so ever in fighting in a war while, the british just finished fighting against france. the U.S made the british very mad by burning down their houses. in revenge, the british burned the white house. they took burning torches and threw them through the white house windows. burning it to the ground. this devistated almost every american.

When do we make symbols? Why do we make symbols? We make symbols because if there is an important message behind it, when we make the “picture” up to represent it, that picture will stay in your mind and you will know what it means. Thats where we get the saying, “a pictures worth a thousand words” because when you see the picture,  you interpret it in your own way but you still know what it means. thats what makes you remember.

My new years passion is listening to music and reading. I listen to mostly hip hop and pop and sometimes rap. Other people may not know, i listen to other things. The songs that have an actual meaning to it are the ones that are the most played on my ipod. The songs i listen to the most are, “When i Look at  You” by Miley Cyrus, “Never Let You Go” by Justin Bieber, “One in a Million” by Miley Cyrus, “He Could Be The One” by Miley Cyrus, “Crush” by David Archuleta, “Whatya Want From Me” by Adam Lambert and “My Little Girl” by Tim Mcgraw. These songs mean something to me. there is a story behind each of them. I love to read the type of books where people fall in love and the guy is amazing to the girl, calling her beautiful even if shes at her worst and caring for her more than anything in the world, giving her his all. These stories, pull me into the story. The last book i read that was like this was, “THE LAST SONG”  BY NICHOLAS SPARKS.  I love this book because the way he writes, he pulls you in and makes you feel like your there with the characters. its amazing. he emotions he puts in there, he makes you fell them, and to be honest, the end of the book made me and my friends cry. So its not just me, the way he writes makes you feel it.

  Pachydermthese are my favorite quotes because they explain me and what ive been through, the very last one, about the pachyderm, thats frim and movie, horton hears a who. i thought it was funny. so laugh.

my definition of a hero is someone who was stronge enough to overcome a rough time in their lives. many people may not agree to my hero cause some people may not like him, my hero is JUSTIN BIEBER. again, many people may not like him, but you have to give him some credit, he has many great talents that most people dont have, he can dance, he can sing, and he can act. the rough time he went through was, he was born under the poverty line meaning he didnt have much money when he was growing up. then when he was 12 he entered into a singing contest, but some of his family members couldnt make it so they had him make a video of himself singing. so he did, then he put them up on youtube for his family to see, not expecting other people to see the videos, he then became a youtube sensation. then one day, USHER saw the video and said, ” i gotta meet this kid and sign him.” he finally met justin bieber.  the song that made him famous is ONE TIME. he now has a cd called MY WORLD. this kid is amazing, even if you dont like him, give him some credit. this is why he is my hero (: if you dont like it, too bad. ha

Five rights each student should have are…

1. each student should be able to wear anything they want with out being judged or bullied about it.

2. each student should be able to be THEMSELVES without someone bullying them.

3. each student should be able to chew gum in class with out getting in trouble.

4. each student should have the choice to skip any class if they wanted to by risking falling behind but without getting trouble.

5. each student should be able to eat a snack during the classes so that they don’t have to go through the day without food until lunch.

The perfect classroom would have black walls with an aquarium on the wall with a bunch of different sea animals in it. The tank would glow and make the room a little brighter. It would have extremly comfy couches. Every student would have there very own personalized laptops.
