Advice

Advice i would give to the incoming sophmore class would be too keep ll their work from freshman? The OGT is not necessarily composed of the hardest elements we have leanred throughout school put together. The test is a bit of random but neutral work. They should not also not miss any days of school. Every moment they have free time is valuable. It should be used to establish an understanding on your work. I wish luck to the sophmores next year and so forth.

Desperate Measures

Approximately two days ago, on March 4th, 2014, I lost my phone. I pretty much have a selective memory of that day. The first detail I can remember is putting it in my bag, behind my literature book but then I remember thinking that maybe I should stick it in my bra. I came out the room a little bit later and what was in my hands was my book-bag along with my shoes. I was thinking that my phone had to be in my bag at this point. I made me a sam-mich after putting my shoes on  and sitting my bag down. (fast forward) Well I was on the bus 15-20 minutes after and I decided to text my ex Nick. I looked in my bag and could not find it so I decided to take everything else out. Then I heard something fall. A freshman behind me asked "Nikita, is my water bottle under your seat?". I replied with no, but now, I have a thought that I dropped it even though I know it could not have happened. I asked to borrow my friends phone to call my mother. I called her and told her about me losing or leaving it from home to the walk to school and responded by telling me she'll aid me in my search. I then had a moment to think once we hung up, so I decided to call back. I know my mother, she feels obligated to go through me and my siblings things, so if she went through my phone, I would have been upset (whether or whether not I had something to hide). When I called my mother back, I asked for my brothers phone number so I could ask him to find it first and turn it off (because I know that once it has been turned off, and then turned back on, a password would need to be entered). I called his phone once receiving it and he didn't even answer (I called twice by the way). So I then had to call my mother for the third time, but I asked her to give my brother the phone. Once she gave it to him, i asked if I left it in the kitchen, he looked while on the phone but did not find it. He then, after permission, searched  through my room. After not finding it again, he tried calling it even though it was on vibrate. He figured he would hear it, especially if it was on a hard surface. He did not find it. I got home later that day I was emotional as much as I thought that I would be. I cleaned my room recently (yesterday on March 5th, 2014) and it is still not found. I looked my room, the bathroom, the closet in the hallway, the living room, under the couches, in the meat draw of my refrigerator, on top of the refrigerator, and I even went as desperate as to look through the garbage. I found nothing. So now, I am phoneless until my mother decides to purchase another.

Trust me

Convincing someone can be hard to do. You can try your hardest but based on past lyings, your convincing can be taken lightly. In a past experience, i had to convince my parents that i did not steal candy. It was about two years ago when my mom bought a bunch of chocolates from her work and she gave me and my siblings some, including my father. We had ate ours except our dad. He ate one and left the other in the refrigerator. It had been in the refrigerator for atleast two weeks and then one day... My dad found interest in it, but it was gone. He instantly pointed fingers at the children even though I knew i had not stole it. I pointed fingers as well. I blamed my little sister because its usually her to do things like this. Anyways, no one has ever admitted to the candy bar theft but at the end of the day, its better that it stays that way because im pretty livid that i have gotten punished along with someone innocent over a stinking one dollar candy bar that my father barely even wanted.
