"Thank You, M'am" Letter From Roger

Dear Ms. Luella Bates Washington Jones,

I just wanted to write you a letter saying "Thank You M'am." My life now, after that experience with us and your pocket book I’ve changed my ways and am doing very well now. I’m glad I met you, because you have taught me a very important lesson in life that I would of probably would have never learned if I hadn’t met you. Now I know that “shoes got by devilish ways will burn your feet,” In other words I looked up that It means that "achievements or possessions gotten fraudulently have a way of turning around and biting you in the a$$..." My life now is great. I’ve been staying out of trouble and im getting things the right way. Thanks for the lesson Ms. Luella Bates Washington Jones.:D

                                                                                                   Sincerely,

                                                                                                               Roger



Character Graphic Organizer

The adult on campus that I picked was Laura. Laura is my house staff, it is like if she were my house parent. Laura is very funny! She has a great scene of humor and sometimes acts like a little kid.:) Laura can be really funny but when it come to things that have to be done and done right away she is really strict and is someone to go to when you need help to get something done. Laura also loves to party. Laura is a very understanding person, she will always want to talk to you if you need to talk to her about something. Laura is a fun and trust worthy person.

"Thank You M'am" ~Rodger's point of view.~

It was late at night when I saw an old lady turning a corner with a pocket purse her hand. I just thought that it would be easy to grab and I would have money for the one thing I want. So I ran past her and grabbed the purse. Then all of a sudden I felt myself in being grabbed by a strong person and it was her, Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones.  I was very nervous and scared at the same time that I was answering every question fast. I was so scared and confused when she took me to her house. I was only trying to get some money to get myself some new blue suede shoes, but I didn’t tell her until she asked me why I did it. When Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones told me I could have just asked I was confused. When she was telling me to wash up, if I was hungry, and if I had a place to be taken care of, I was confused because she wanted to help me after what I just did or tried to do. I felt loved as if she was my mom.  Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones fed me, cleaned me up, gave me desert, and even gave me ten dollars for my “Blue Suede Shoes.”

My Flashback!

When I was in the living room today, I was sitting next to a friend and the scent of his cologne caused me to have a flashback of a friend in National City. I remembered when we were driving around in my friend Ruben's car on Highland in National City. We were driving late at night because he had just bought his new, dark green low rider so he decided to pick up me and my homegirl, Angie. The windows were down and we were bumping the music and I remember the scent of his cologne. I remember the smell being good and manly.:) I realized that I really miss kicking it with him and being in National City. When I smelt that scent from my friend, I realized that I messed up in life by making the wrong choices and that if I hadn't made the wrong choice I would probably still be there kicking it in National City with all my homies.

Special Animal Paragraph!!:]

Animals CAN be a humans best friend in many similars ways. For example, at the age of ten I had a pet dog named Kisses. I did so many activities with Kisses and he was more than a dog, Kisses was my best friend. When I would come home to Kisses every day after school and I would always see him at the door waiting for me. When Kisses would see me walking up to him he would jump on me and kiss me. Kisses was a puppy Golden Retriver, he was very big for his age. Kisses was always there for me when I needed him, and I could always depend on him when I needed to, until someone stole him by breaking off the chain. We found out early in the morning,when I got up to say Good Morning.  I noticed he was gone so I pored out in tear because I didn't just lose a pet, my best friend was gone for good.
