Ode to cancer

ODE TO CANCER!

Cancer you have no friends.

You bring some people to their end.

We sometimes lose our hair,

but you really don't care.

They lose their hair because of the pills.

And still they have to pay the bills

We have to go to treat you.

That's the only way we can defeat you.

We have strong feelings about you.

If you only knew.

Cancer you are bad.

You really make me mad.

I just thought that you should know.

Before I start the show.

My life would be different in the past because me and my family watch TV all the time we would NOT be able to do that because there was no electricity. Also we use the computer all the time for my dads work and paper but that wouldn't have worked in the past because there wasn't that much paper either. The government has changed a lot over time. In the middle ages the women weren't allowed to vote and nothing was really debated. Nobody really just takes a whole day off or gets told to go to the fair to have fun. People usually go to the fair and have fries and ride rides and maybe watch the horses race. But the fair in medieval ages we all cooked the whole day before and had everything planned out for the kids and the had to enter to play.

Medieval Event

This weekend we had a medieval event. The whole town was there we cooked and had horse rides for the kids and we had other events that the townspeople enjoy. We decided that we were going to do it in the middle of town that's the biggest place and it worked out well. We decided to have this event because we had all worked hard and earned a little bit of extra coins so we all chipped in and we all thought that we deserved it. My family and I went to the event because we were part of the planning party so we wanted to see how it all pulled together and because we wanted to visit with friends. I thought that it was a great idea we all still are ranting and raving about it because we have never done something like that before. Now we plan to do this every year and people are very glad to hear that. We pulled together as a town and people like that so we decided that more often would be better. Also it was more pleasant to be around people we were all getting along and everyone was having a great time.

Culture

In my community I have a lot of different people most of which I do not have conversation with but I do get along with them the people that I spend my social life with are other midwifes and mothers to be. Although when I am at my own home I don't have a social life I eat. Usually I eat bread and drink wine but other times I go and get some meat from the market and that suits me for a few days then I go out and by something else that I am in the mood for and that I can afford. When I am at home I look out my window (while I am eating) and I see nothing but farmlands. It is a very peaceful sight except for when I catch the morning turn out then there is nothing but animals all through the street just roaming free. I love it where I live.

Laws

The type of government in my country is feudalism. There are many laws her one with which I agree with and one that I disagree with. I think that the marriage laws are a good thing I think it is good that your not forced to stay with someone forever. I think that you should but if something goes wrong you have another possibility. A law that I highly disagree with is the way that they charge people guilty. They make them carry burning hot items and after a while if those burns blister then they are guilty. Sometimes there can be conflict though with the government and the towns people they disagree the way that they treat some people. There have been some conflicts but we are starting to resolve them.

Memories Last Forever             Seb Soccer

    I can picture it.  Dad was falling and blood was going everywhere.  I can imagine the medics arriving and him being in shock and throwing them down the hill.  He was upset with the ambulance drivers and crying for help because his back hurt him so badly.  He was very sore and on the verge of crying when they tried pulling his jaw back into place to wire it.  The doctors were figuring out how they were going to put all of his teeth back into place because they all were in the back of his throat.  A week passed before I saw  him for the first time.  I was very scared and I hid behind the couch.  It all brings back bad memories.  I don't like to think about it much. My life had changed.  I had to be more grown up.
      Before I knew that any of this had happened at my  gram and grampas house that day we  unloaded our stuff to spend the night there.  We were making supper and watching T.V waiting for grampa to get home from work.  When he got home gram said that she needed to talk to all of us.  We sat down on the couch, she looked at us she said “Your dad has been in an accident.”
    My brother asked, unfazed “What car was he in?” 
    My grandmother said that he wasn't in a car.  He had fallen almost 30 feet from a roof and landed on his head.  He had broken the whole right side of his face, his neck, his back, his right ribs, and his finger.  I started crying.  I never thought that anything this bad would ever happen to my dad that is when I grabbed my grandmother by the shirt and looked into her eyes and asked if he would be okay.  She said he would be fine but that he was going to be different for a long time.  That is all she said and then the phone rang.  Grandpa answered the phone and talked to whomever it was
    He said “Yes they know.” 
    He handed me the phone and it was Drew.  She asked if I was okay.  Then she started to cry which made me cry.   We started to talk.  Then I started to cry again and she did too so we had to hang up.  We said we would talk the next day.
    After supper my grandfather and I went through all the applications for workers on Appalachian Trail because he hires people.  One guy had the weirdest name that we had ever heard. His name was something Pickle.  We laid on the floor chuckling for about 15 minutes, that made me feel good.  The next morning my grandfather left for work and my grandmother was getting ready to take us to school.  I was ready and she said that we didn't have to go to school if we didn't want to, but I did want to.  I got to school and Drew came over to hug me.  We talked and my teacher said he was sorry and then told the class to go to their seats.  After the first class the guidance councilor came in looking for another kid in my class, Dustin.  He wasn't there but then she turned around and said that she would like to talk with me in her office.  We went to her office and she closed the door and said that it was fine if I cried. There was nothing wrong with crying.  We sat there and talked about my dad and I cried and she comforted me and We talked about everything from the time when I was little up until the day that he fell.  I got back to class and my teacher took me out into the hall.  He asked me if I would like him to tell the class about what had happened or if I wanted to keep it to myself.  I told him that he could tell the class.  When he told the class they said that they were sorry then we spent the entire next class making Get Well cards for my dad.  That week went by very slowly and everyone said they were sorry.  That whole week nothing really phased me at all.  
    At the end of the week my dad came home.  My grandmother had warned me that he looked gory and that he had a lot of blood on his face but he was still daddy.  We set up the hospital bed in the living room.  Then we heard the car coming up the driveway.  It was dad, my brother and I were so excited that he was finally home.  He sort of crawled out of the van and we looked at his face and hid.  He felt bad that he had scared us.  He told us that there was nothing to worry about then came and hugged us for what felt like forever from then on we were fine.  He told us the story of how he was drowning in his own blood and how my cousin Adam had saved his life.  If it weren't for Adam my dad wouldn't be alive.  He also told us how he chucked the medics down the hill.  Then my mom told me and my brother that she had to go back to work and we had to take care of dad.
    From then on it was fairly normal.   Except for people going grocery shopping for us and giving us things that we needed dad was getting better and the doctors where amazed that he wasn't paralyzed.  They thought that it was a miracle. Everything started getting normal and dad was healing very quickly.  He got his neck and back brace taken off and now he is all better.  It has been 4 years since he fell and he is now back to normal.   He is just like the daddy that I had before the fall.  I hope that nothing like this ever happens to him again.

Kids Skate
My business provides a service.  My business teaches kids how to skate.  We also sell skates, shirt and sweatshirts with our logo on them.  The price for those items can be anywhere from $10.00 to $30.00We have a huge sign up day and alow all kids to sign up and then decide when we can do lessons.  When I built my business the cost of production was $16,000.  Once I started doing lessons I gained all of that back in profit money. My business is one that you would call a monopoly business it is the only one in the Bangor area.  When we are giving lessons we try to meet as much of the peoples criteria as we can. The way that my business does on a daily bases has to do with the Economic Cirle Cycle.  Days that my business does really good is in the summer because our prices drop and that makes the demand higher for lessons.  Since skating lessons are scarce we don't really have any competition my business does really good in the winter because people want to learn how to skate.
