Are You Ready To Move Out Quiz Questions asked
Resolved Question: What do you think of this?
I leaned against the window, my warm breath forming mist on the glass; it was a cold day, uncanny for September.
While I’m sure the scenery must have been spectacular, I kept my eyes closed, listening to music.
I felt a sharp tap on my knee. I pulled out the headphones from one of my ears.
“You’re going to go deaf.” Mom said, shaking her head,
“And you’re going to crash.” I retorted,
Mom quickly turned to watch the road.
“Anyway, I just wanted to point out that we’re almost there.” Mom said, “You can see the castle up ahead.”
“Is that all?” I said icily, “Thanks for interrupting me.”
Unlike my family, I had no interest in some old castle or chateau. If I had it my way, we wouldn’t even be here in the first place. If I had it my way, we would be home, watching the sun set over the ocean. Scratch that, it would be morning back home; we’d be eating breakfast and getting ready for school. I hated the time difference.
Tyler reached up and pinched me on the shoulder.
“Not now,” I said through gritted teeth. I reached back to swat his hand, but he had pulled it back already.
Taylor was blissfully asleep, unknowing to the world of dangers around him.
“Lillie, I know this is kind of hard for you--,” I cut Mom off,
“It’s not ‘kind of hard’, it is hard.” I said, “I’m not in the mood for any lectures, thank you very much.”
“Okay, okay.” Mom said, ever placid, “Tyler then, why don’t you keep an eye out for the castle?”
“Probably can’t even see it through this fog.” I grumbled,
Actually, as if to prove my words wrong, you could see the castle. It seemed right out of a bad mystery movie, rising out of the fog.
I closed my eyes again, trying to block out anything that would remind me of the fact that we weren’t merely driving to school on a foggy day.
It didn’t work.
Instead, my mind raced to the memory of when Mom first told us we were moving:
It had been a Friday, I remember because I had a pop quiz in English. When I had arrived home from school, Mom had been sitting at the kitchen table, hands folded perfectly, face serious. At first I thought I was in some sort of trouble, but I couldn’t recall anything bad that I had done. My first clue that that wasn’t the case was that Tom was there, sitting next to Mom. His eyes were a little red, which immediately had me worried.
“Sit down, Lilliana, we need to talk.” Mom had said,
Mom never calls me by my full name. I sat down.
“Lillie,” Mom said, “We are going to move.”
At first, I was a lot calmer than I should have been. That’s because I thought that we, like sane people, were going to move to some different city in a different state because Mom wanted more job opportunities or something like that. But, oh no, we had to move to a tiny town in a distant country because Mom just liked it there. The horror.
Before we could do or say anything else, Mom got up, told us to sleep on it, and left.
Well, of course I couldn’t sleep. I was up first thing in the morning, so was Tom. Tom, surprising even me, immediately declared that he was not going. That he was going to rent an apartment, that he’d already searched for some.
I wanted to say that I would stay, too. I would buy the house from Mom, quit school, and become an artist. However, for some stupid reason, minors aren’t allowed to live alone. Besides, I would probably be in debt for the rest of my life.
Mom slowly agreed to Tom’s proposition. Then, surprising me again, she gave me two choices. A. Move to France with her and the twins. B. Live with my aunt in faraway Sacramento.
The next day, I made one of the hardest decisions in my life: to leave all that I know – all that I’ve ever known – and move to one of the least populated towns in the most populated European country. To journey across the Atlantic, a ten hour flight from my beloved California, with no more than a months’ notice. Yes, I made the painful decision to move to France.
“Here’s the main part of town.” Mom said, snapping me out of my brooding,
I looked out the window and saw a flurry of clustered buildings fly past, and then it was back to trees.
Mom had grown up visiting this tiny town. Taylor and Tyler had been here a few summers ago. Mom said we visited here when I was little, but I have no memory of it.
“If that was the town, where are we going?” I asked suspiciously,
Moving to France, at first, seemed like it would be awesome. But I wasn’t thinking of some obscene ghost town that no one knows about. I was thinking more of Paris. Of shopping and cafés and hot French guys.
Even so, one of my main mental arguments in the Big Decision, was that the town is only theee hours drive to Paris and seven hours drive to Cannes.
“The house is a little outside of town.” Mom said, “Don’t worry, you’ll love it.”
“I’ll be the judge of that.” I said haughtily,
A few minutes later, we turned off and drove down a winding dirt road. Mom stopped the car underneath a tree.
“Oh, we can see the castle from here!” Tyler said, jumping out Mom shook Taylor to wake him up.
I slowly got out, staring up at the ancient house.
It was painted white, but was now peeling. There was a little porch that ringed around the house, it looked like it was about to crumble into sawdust. There was a round window at the top of the house. It was old, but I have to admit it was big.
Tyler ran into a building that I didn’t see at first. It was to the side, partially hidden by trees and a little smaller than the house, but not painted.
“The barn,” Mom explained, noticing my curious look,
Tyler came back out.
“Can we go in, Mom?” Tyler asked excitedly,
“Where are we?” Taylor said sleepily, rubbing his eyes,
“We’re at our new home.” Mom said gently,
I scoffed: Maybe it was their new home, but it would never be my home.
Mom walked up the rickety porch steps and unlocked the door. Tyler immediately rushed in. Taylor, Mom, and I followed at a more measured pace.Well, anyway, that's not all that I wanted to add, but it would take too long to post it all. Anyway, what do you think? How's the grammar? Does it flow well?
I've been writing a lot, but I've never had the guts to ask a question like this (not because I'm afraid of criticism, but because I'm afraid someone would steal it).
What do you think?

moreResolved Question: i feel like my teacher is out to get me? what do i do?
ok so this is a long story but idk what to do in this situation or if i am going about it the correct way.
it all started when I got really sick sunday night, I emailed my teacher saying that I am feeling really sick and I will probably miss my 8:00 am class the day (monday) i asked him if i could come to his tuesday lecture, to hand in my homework and to take my quiz and attend class. He never responded to me. so i just let it go and figured i would just go to his tuesday class. Before class i ran into him and asked him if he got my email.. he said "Yes" and i asked him why he didnt respond n he simply said " i sometimes dont respond to emails". but i was like whatever ok. and he also told me that all thought i was going to the tuesday lecture that I am still going to get an absent. I was angry about this, but i descided to once again just let it go and move on. So while i am sitting in class getting ready to take the quiz he approaches me and says that i cant take the quiz.. i was SHOCKED. and i got up and said this is ridiculus and hand him my homework and he said that I would get 10 points off cause its late. After I emailed him explaining how i made every effort to come a make up what i had missed and i was very upset on the issue. he simply replied it states in the syllabus, that it was an unexcussed absent. i read the syllabus and all it said was that if I had to unexcussed absence i have to take the final. and i was sick.... but i didnt go to the doctor to i didnt have a note.
AND today
i went to class and i was running 20 minutes late because my car didnt want to start this morning and i wasnt on campus (live in a college dorm). So when i arrived the door was locked. I looked through the window and asked him why the door was locked he simply looked at the clock and said you 20 min late. And i yelled throught the door, you dont even know my situation on why i was late. he opened the door and said what the exuse and I told him "MY Car wouldnt start". he simply says "im sorry cant come in". I was so livid i asked him if he was kidding or something, and he said no... so i asked him if i can give my group our assignment so he let me do that, but the whole time he was right next to me looking over my shoulder with a big smile. I dont understand his problem. I feel like he is out to get me or has a serious problem with me and i dont know why??
Please what should i do?
all my friends tell me to go to the head of the science department??

ok, so theres this guy ive been kind of on again off again with all summer. we had a mini fling type thing in the beginning of my freshmen year of highschool(im now starting my sophmore yr). he hurt me really bad,it took almost 6months to move on, i never truely got over it or well him. this guy somehow recked every relationship i tryed to have, or well feelings for him did. but anyways we talked spareingly towards the end of the year, i was completely fine. then in early june, thinking nothing of it, i commented one of his photos on myspace. then that night i get IMS from him asking why we dont see each other anymore and that we really gotta hang out. he kept saying this and IMing me for the next 3days in a row. he would always say you should call me sometime, and when we decided to hangout that saturday, things got very much out of hand. it started out fine, he was super sweet and totally cute. since others were in the room he would type stuff on his phone instead of talking. he said like can i hold your hand etc. he asked b4 doing anything, i guess he thought since i was soo responsive he wud try more, that night he fingered&felt me up. i felt so vilotated i kinda ignored him &he left early w/o telling me. we ending up talking again and i started 2trust him. so i went 2a party wit him. i went 2his house first &he was super sweet, then said i didnt get a chance to do this last time &he kissed me. nothing much 2it but it was an amazing first kiss. anyways towards the end of the party he asked if he could "touch me" again. i said no because we werent even dating. he stopped then grabbed my hand even tho i kept pulling back, basically i felt his boner. i freaked and pulled bak i laugh about it now lol but then i totally lost control by the end of the night &he "touched me". i told him 2stop &he did, we even talked about dating but i wasnt ready 2commit 2him or trust him. we had big problems &didnt talk for awhile. then i missed him like crazy &IMed him 3weeks l8r. we talked about everything, &we texted till 23oam. he told me how he wanted 2b with me & he was respectful about it. then when i asked mom if i cud c him she said no completely. we decided we'd c each other at our summer prep class. he signed up kinda cuz i did. but then i find out that he doesnt like not being able 2c each other 4 a few weeks& got bak wit his ex gf who cheated on him. but wasnt sure, cuz he still wanted me during our class. i said no unless he was single. he eventually figured out shes a hoe& only wanted sex, which he doesnt. so he was all about me again. the 2nd day of class we met b4 by the stairs, we walked&talked i really feel like i know him. i got a 7/10 on his aboutme quiz. but then we started making out &i mean seriously tongue action &everything! we stopped if we heard somebody, &talked inbetween breathing breaks lol. but then things got lets say..not pg. he put me against the stair ramp &he worked that body of his, pushing hard against me, & starting 2feel places, i said no after the 2nd time(i cant seem2 say no earlier) he stopped. then started 2finger me again, he did it twice b4 i cud say no. we walked in 10mins late 2 class. it looked bad. he turns me on like a light switch. i seem 2do the same from wat ive seen felt & heard. then i get info about him not really liking me, so i told him we need 2 talk, he was late so we had 2talk after class. he kept texting me during wondering like crazy, whats up. we walked to the pop machines &talked it took forever 2get it all out. he said that he did talk2 this girl &told her he wanted 2make out wit her 2 piss her off. but he never said he didnt like me. he looked me in the eye, & didnt hesitate or look nervous so i didnt think he was lieing. until i find out one of my best friends heard him say this on the phone 2 1 of her best friends(it was on speaker) i honestly dont no wat 2do. we both no he needs his priorities in order, &we no niether of us are ready2 date the other. i have trust issues& him well he's just confused. he wants a relationship, he just doesnt no how 2get it right. im not sure if i sud wait 4him, or just move on completely. i tryed b4 but i cudnt do it. i only want him. my question above all is, did i act like a whore, letting him touch me, touching him, &still had dirty stuff going on even tho he had the girl..? maybe i sud look 4 another guy but keep him in the bak of my head..? im not sure what do you think? because im totally confused.. he's totally sweet and easy 2have a conversation with, i guess we both just have wayy too many issues we need to get through b4 we date. i had awful crap freshmen yr, which made my issues worse. but it also made me stronger. and i think all the pain he's caused me only made me stronger& the women i am today. i dont regret him. i even thought i might love him but how crazys that right..? i mean i think about him all the time i get an amazing feeling when i hear his voice or kiss him, or just talking 2him. im just not sure ho
moreResolved Question: im 13 and written a little bit, i think it has potential...?
I stepped out of the shower, and swept my pale hand across the foggy mirror. I gazed at my yellow ducky alarm clock, it was time to get ready for school. I sat in front of my vanity mirror, shagging up my short light blond hair, trying to make my self satisfied with my appearance. Even after all the make up I put on, the chartreuse eye shadow above my golden yellow eyes, my spring time pink blush on my ivory cheeks, all i could see was a monster. "I am Alagrey, I am pretty and..." I tried encouraging my self as i usually do, but I did not have the strength to do so. "I am a beast!" I shouted as I threw my hair brush across the room, nearly shattering my lamp. During the day I was a normal teen, ate normal food, had normal friends.But the older i got, the more my secret haunted me.
School was bitter sweet. The down side was i had a pop quiz in my advanced placement calculus. The up side, i got to
hang out with my best friend, Cooper, with his beautiful pale blue eyes, and golden brown hair... Anyway i met him when i was 5, he moved in to the red brick house next door. We have been unseperable ever since. We keep eachother sane.
As the sun surrendered to the night, my father and I were preparing for our nightly hunt. We did not use bear traps and shot guns, We had weapons of our own.The moon rose over the dark, starless sky,triggering our transformation. After 15 long years,the pain of metamorphosis wore down to more of a tickle. First,my toes turning padded with long claws and silver fur.then, my nose extended into a muzzle. My teeth became sharp and able to tear flesh,and within seconds, my whole body took the form of a timber wolf. It was time for the hunt.
We stalked low to the forest floor. The grass and fallen leaves tussled through are silver fur. Then i paused, my long pointy ears swiveled in the cold air. I heard twigs snapping, then the strong sent of moose caught my attention. I looked at my father,then we headed toward the large mammal. Slinking threw the grass, we got closer and closer then crack! I stepped on a twig. The moose fled running at an intense speed. We ran after, the best part of the hunt, running against the wind, it felt like we were flying. Then my father pounced and his razor sharp claws pierced the skin of the moose, causing him to fall. I came from behind, ripped open the large animal, and that night, we had a feast fit for a king.
The mornings after, i always awoke covered in blood, my neon green comforter turned brick red.it grew old, washing blood out of my PJ's, and hair. The thought of me,Grey, hunting down and killing a living creature, then eating it raw, flesh and all... It can be repulsive! But the urge to hunt was undeniable when i turned wolf.
My father and i sat down to breakfast the next morning."Father i have been thinking, um, don't you get tired, of waking up, drenched in blood, don't you..." my father interrupted saying "Anagrey, we have had this talk before. This is something we need to live with." this answer stung me, because it seemed to be the only answer he ever had.I lashed out and responded "You don't understand! i have no life cause half of my time i am a wolf! a monster! the new moon is not often enough!" my father looked teary eyed. The only thing he could think to do is walk away."You can not just walk away again father!" He looked at me, i was expecting a big lecture on respect, but all he said was "I need to get to work." and he left, out the door, leaving me with nothing to do but cry.
what do you think?
moreResolved Question: I feel like giving up on math? Is it possible to have a learning disorder with only one subject? (LONG!)?
Okay, it's either my school district teaches arithmetic classes at a lower level than academically suitable, this summer enrichment program is just too fast-paced, or it's just me.
Right now I'm learning Algebra I (Preparation for 9th grade math in high school), and so far I can barely handle it. I try my best and pay full attention to the lessons each day I am there, but I've failed almost every quiz and homework they assigned. The rare ones I passed were ones where the teacher had to guide me through step by step like a mother teaching her baby how to walk for the first time. It's embarrassing because when I look around the room I am the only one who needs this much help. Repeatedly. Pretty much when the whole class is ready to move on to something different, I'm the one still completely lost on the lesson from yesterday. Heck, maybe the one from THREE days ago.
.
My mind feels like a sponge when approaching math. The knowledge stays in for a few days, soaks it in. Then, it dries out until there is only a drop left. Useless.
It isn't just in this program either. In school it works the same way, almost. Math has been the only hard subject for me since 2nd grade, and I actually at one point failed it in 7th. (We tried various tutors during that period also, which didn't help much.) This year I somehow passed with a B+ for the year, but only because I was in the accelerated placement. Something tells me I will have to pray a miracle for Honors, if I even get there.
I don't want to keep going on with math feeling confused about everything, because that's when my frustration kicks in and ebbs away at my patience to try anymore. I don't mean to tell you my life story here, but I have quit on too many things during the 14 years I have been alive. As much as I have grown to dislike math I do not wish to just abandon it in dust like the many other things I have dropped overboard. I may prefer an English major in the future, but if I expect to go to a good university at all I have to do well on math during high school, plus the SAT'S, right?

moreResolved Question: Is there hope for our unlikely relationship?
OK... I am new to this but from reading some of these post... I realize that there are some people on here that offer really good insight. Please bare with me if I give too much info and feel free to ask for more details if needed...
So I am a 27 year old divorced mom of three small children (ages 4, 2 and 9 months). My ex husband was very abusive so I finally gathered up the courage to end things. I moved to this relatively small town and have been here for a little over two years. I met this guy at work who I thought was pretty hot but come to find out he was just 21 years old. So we started hanging out and my original intentions were just to be friends (with benefits) because I thought he was too young for me. But the more we hung out, the more we liked each other. The main reason that I liked him a lot is because he LOVES GOD and his mother. Come to find out his mom is a pastor and eventually, he invited me to church and to meet his mom. Well to make a long story shorter... about 7 months later, he has pretty much moved in with me. Now here is where things get sticky... prior to him moving in with me, me and his mom were cool, talked almost everyday, went shopping together and everything. But once he stayed by me more and more, she started to give me more and more bad vibes until one a few weeks ago she practically implied in a text message that she sent me that I was a whore!!! I felt that was very inappropriate, especially for a pastor... ok, let me explain a little about their relationship... they are very close... when my boyfriend was younger, unfortunately there was a family tragedy that left his mother paralized from the waist down. So ever since he was about 12, his mom depends on him heavily. there is a lot more to that story but I feel funny telling his family business. But lets just say that this tradgedy has left everyone involved with deep emotional issues. ok, so, back to the issue at hand... his mom did apologize to me but not before trying to turn him agianst me by twisting our conversation to her advantage... thank God that he saw through her scheme. Ok, so we are living together (unofficially) and I have to deal with his overbearing mother, and this family tragedy/secret that to this day still affects his day to day life and last night, he did something that I think was disrespectfull... he spent the whole night out. He claims that he was hanging out with his friend that came home from college for Easter weekend. although I was upset, I didn't handle the situation in a crazy fashion. We went to church on Easter Sunday as a family and then went out to eat as a family. Had a great time. After we got the kids settled and had some private time, we started talking and I asked him if he thought it was cool for him to stay out all night and not even call. That's when he really ticked me off by saying " Man, this seems like a ****ing pop quiz from my mother!" he went on to say that he texted me that he would be hanging out with Chris and I texted him back NP C U Later. Ok, and I did says that but I didn't mean that much later and he knows this!!!
SO... this is where I need help... I have made a list of good things and a list of not so good things about our relationship and although the good outweights the bad by far, the few bad things are baaaadddd! 1) his mother, I feel like she is a hypocrite and I no longer like her (and I love everyone) 2)this family tradgedy/secret that affects him so deeply which I dont know if I could every convince him to let go and let God so that he can find peace and 3) the age difference... I often feel like he is way too young for me, I ask myself all the time if he is ready for a commited relationship or should he be out doing what most 21 year olds do?
What should I DO?????
Ok, just so you know, he is AWSOME with my kids, especially the baby, he takes care of her like she is his own! He wakes up in the middle of the night and makes her bottle, change her and put her back to sleep... that's without me even asking! He plays with my 4 year old all the time and my son adores him! Although he never told me that he loves me, he acts as if he does by the little things that he does and say (and not to mention that a few months back he asked me is I could see myself in a marriage with his one day). We hang out and talk about ANY/EVERYTHING! We go to the movies, out to eat, to the arcades and sometimes just go to the mall together. I looovvvveeee just being with him even if we are at home just chilling doing our own thing like his playing video games and I am studying (I am pursuing my RN degree) or reading a book.
So, my question is... should I hang in there or am I setting myself and my kids up for dissapointment? Is he just there because its convinient and just a place to get away from his mother? Does he really care about us? Does he seem ready for a serious relationship? Is he just playing house? What shoul

moreResolved Question: Does any one have problems when it comes to mens: looks, what others think and personality?
I have met two really nice guys over the past year n half both through a dating agency site. I've come to know them both quite well.
One I can just talk and talk to forever. Who is really nice. He's smart, intelligent, really motivated with work and caring. He really likes me. I really like him. I see him as a really good friend. He wants to take it further. Has for a while. I just can't seem to because (and I know this is an awful thing to say) I'm just not attracted to him looks wise, he just doesn't do anything for me.
The other guy is lovely too. He's really sensitive, inexperienced. We dated for afew months but things didn't work out cos communication lacked. I thought he wanted to move things on quicker than I did but it appears he was new to the whole dating scene. I am too. My parents didn't seem to be too excited by him. Some of the small things he did really wound me up too! e.g. we were going to go out to do things e.g. pub quiz, meal etc but he changed his mind n wanted to stay in with a takeaway n dvd. Which was nice but not very sociable.
I'm in my early 20s. I feel that I am ready now to start seeing guys but I'm scared of wasting my time. I just want to be with one guy n that's it. I know I this message makes me come across a bit shallow. That's not me. I think i'm a bit fuzzy and this is all new to me!

moreVoting Question: Did I lose my chance?
I met this girl in my class and we have talked maybe twice, and convos lasted like 10 secs. She sits like a seat down from me. Well inbetween every exam we have we have a quiz. She asked me (through email) if we could study sometime because she needs a good grade. We have attendance sheets we need to sign in, and one day she handed me the sheet, and I said thank you, and she waited like 5 secs and said your welcome in a quick nervous like tone.
Well our final was this past Friday and she asked me again (through email) if we could study, and I said yes. Well we met up at the library and I asked her what was she having trouble with. She pointed out one thing, and I explained it to her in 5 seconds. Then we talked for two hours straight about ourselves and everything. The whole time she had PERFECT eye contact, interested in everything I said, and touched her hair a few times, running her hand through it. We studied maybe 5 mins MAX. And before I thought nothing of her really. Now I can't seem to stop thinking about her. Shes cool, laid back, and just down right nice. I also found out we have alot in common suprisingly.
Well my roomie texted me saying he has moved out for winter break and I told her because we were talkin about our room mates and I just happened to say it. After our study session we walked about halfway inbetween our dorms and she said she has never seen my dorm tower or been on that sideo of the campus. Does this mean shes trying to imply shes wants to come over to my room?? Well I just pointed it out.. I know stupid of me. Well she left and I walked back to my room and I just felt so dumb about it. Well I texted her the next day asking if she wanted to get lunch before our final. She texted me later on, a little too late saying she was in a final and she would but she has to study a little more for our final and asked when I was gonna go. So I said its cool and we have class soon so maybe another time i guess.
So I saw her in class and asked if she was ready and all and she said yeah then the final began and thats it. She is going away for break (5 weeks.) and I feel like I lost my opportunity to get to know her...because now I feel like she will forget about me. Did I screw up? Should I just wait and see what happens? Please help.
moreResolved Question: Me and my "friend" got into a fight!?
Okay so today me and my friend got in a fight. We will call her Ramona. I've been friends with her since 2nd grade (we're in 8th grade now), we've never gotten into a fight till now. Lately, shes been acting very crabby, criticizing some of my other friends that shes friends with too and calling things like "gay", "stupid" etc. We have English together. So basically I was getting a little fed up with her since the beginning of the year because...
she always take my food! She is constantly asking for peoples food at break even though she has her own. I talked to her about this and (before she used to just take it) and now she just asks which is an improvement atleast. But its getting pretty annoying, she will be like everyday "if you dont want to finish that, I'll have it". She never stops asking for food from me and my friends... thats not so bad but it gets worse.
Last year, at my birthday party, I would have to say it was the worst party ever. I was crying the whole night. So heres the deal, basically we were going to do everyones makeup, and she just goes off with another girl I invited and just starts doing their makeup. I mean, you dont have to always be paying attention to me, but atleast have some respect for the birthday girl! And then I just couldnt take it, cause everyone instead of doing what I wanted kept playing on the computer, texting, etc. I thought this was the rudest thing ever! I couldnt take it anymore so I just went in the laundry room and vented and cried to the friends who stayed loyal to me. The in the middle of the night she decided to have a "fake fight" with another girl at my party to get me to come down from the laundry room. (how immature is that?) Well, she started saying some pretty mean things to this girl (pretending though) and the girl ended up coming to sleep upstairs with us (since there wasnt enough room downstairs). IT was so bad, more and more people began coming upstairs. I couldnt believe how bad this day was turning out, expecially on my birthday. I was crying the whole night, but in the end, they apologized, and although I was miserable I forgave them.
This year, for my 13th birthday, I invited Ramona again. We were going to see a movie and then go shopping. She has a soccer game so she missed most of the party, but she was able to come back for the last 30 minutes. So she was sort of annoyed cause she didnt get to go shopping and she had been looking forward to it (which i do understand) but when we stopped to get a snack. She asked to go into a store nearby where we were getting food. My parents told me to make sure everyone stayed together but I felt bad for her so I let her go. When we got our snacks and went into the store to look for her, she was gone! She went into a different store too! I told her we were supposed to stay together nicely, and she gets all catty on me! She starts yelling at me saying I shouldnt be so rude to her cause she didnt know and it wasnt fair cause she had a soccer game. I was ready to cry, another birthday party runied again! I said sorry to avoid worsening this problem and shes all like "Thank you!". Great, another ruined birthday as always...
Okay so in English we have to do a project where we teach parts of speech to the class. We had to teach adjectives. I ended up doing almost all the work! (with the exception of one girl who helped with the class activity) I made a powerpoint, study guide, and quiz. She did nothing! She was supposed to make the quiz but she was being lazy and tried to get the other girl to do it! I was pretty mad because she hasnt done anything and shes too lazy and has to make someone else do her part in the project! Well I was sick that day, so sick I could barely move, I had no sleep the night before, I came to school just for english though so my group wouldnt fail since I was the only one who understood what we had to teach, even though i had tried to help them, they werent making an effort to understand it. So I came anyway even though I felt so sick, and we got a C on the project. We also ran out of time to correct the quiz, and she then asks me to correct it! In my mind I'm thinking "Wow you didnt do ANYTHING! Why cant you correct it?". And I immediatly refused. Luckily, the other girl nicely corrected them. She is so lazy, she put all the work on me, and she didnt even try to help me.
So in English we usually hang out with eachother but lately she starts hanging out with this girl, Juli, and excluding me because Juli is friends with the guy she likes. Ramona still hangs out with me but in English she barely talks to me, I mean, sure, she can hang out with who she wants, but dont ignore me. I just couldnt take it today and I was getting really annoyed and started giving her the cold shoulder. She started passing notes to me asking if I was mad at her but I didnt write back because I dont need the whole class involved in this. So I told her I would talk to her after class. I told her ththat I felt like she wasnt treating me like a real friend and that I was being excluded in English. And she doesnt even listen so I just walked off... I dont want to go to school tomorrow, UGHHI know its long but if you dont feel like reading it you dont have to comment.
moreResolved Question: Labor Halls Suck?
"Gabriel," the Labor Ready supervisor calls five minutes later. I get up from my chair and learn that there's work for me, if I want it, unloading auto parts in Staten Island. Pay is $7.25 an hour. Forgotten is the safety quiz. He hands me gloves, I'm given directions to the site -- take the R train to 86th street, and then the S79 bus over the Verrazano Bridge -- and walk out the door. It's 8:45 a.m.
It takes over an hour to get to the store. I walk inside and identify myself as a Labor Ready employee. Two men behind the counter look up. "You're late, Labor Ready," one of them tells me in an obnoxious voice. "The other guys are already downstairs. Better hope they don't just send you home."
I walk through the store and down a set of wooden stairs, where five other men are taking auto parts off the shelves and stacking them in grocery carts. "You Labor Ready?" one of them asks, who appears Middle Eastern.
"Yep."
He explains something about taking red boxes down, and I join in.
There are four other men in my work crew, the friendliest being a skinny 18-year-old from East New York that graduated from high school earlier this year. He's been working with Labor Ready for two months, and while we load up a cart he explains a few things that he feels I should know. "You work at Labor Ready, you're at the very bottom -- you know that right? No way you can work your way up here. See, this place here paying you seven bucks an hour, but they payin' Labor Ready maybe twice that. We at the bottom."
"So why are you here?" I ask.
He shrugs. "It keeps me awake. Nothing else does that. And why should I go to college? You get out, owe a bunch of money, and you'll still be working at McDonalds, just like everyone else."
We spend the next six hours moving engine starters among shelves, unloading a truck, and taking inventory. We're all sweating a bit, but make sure to take numerous impromptu breaks when the supervisor leaves, which he does every hour or so. By the end of the day we meet with our boss, a friendly white man, who tells us he appreciates our work and grants us a few extra hours on our time sheets. For my six hours of work, he writes nine. A nice guy.
By the time we get back to Labor Ready's office it's dark outside. My gross pay is $65.25, but is cut to $53.40 after taxes. I walk with the teenager from East New York and another worker to a nearby check-cashing place, and am charged one dollar for the transaction. Now I've got $52.40 cash in my wallet.
On the train home I take an inventory of my finances. It cost me two dollars in subway fare to get here, and another four dollars to get to Staten Island and back, then a final two dollars to get home (I could have saved a dollar by purchasing an unlimited card, but I couldn't have known this at the time that I boarded my first train). So after a 12-hour period spent waiting, traveling and working, my net income for the day is $45.40 (I don't blame Labor Ready for the check cashing fee) -- and that's with a boss that tacked on three extra hours. Plus, I was lucky enough to get work. Many times, according to veteran Labor Ready employees, you show up at 5 a.m., wait for hours, and leave with nothing to show for it.
This waiting in the office and staring at the walls -- equal parts boredom and desperation -- becomes translated in business plan speak as a "flexible workforce." If one is homeless, an addict, recently out of prison, or otherwise having a hard time finding work, Labor Ready offers the chance to earn a little cash. All they ask if that you show up early, sit around for hours, not curse, not be a sleepyhead, not wear baggy pants, leave the bling bling at home, pass the test, travel wherever they send you, pay for that travel, be nice to the boss, not steal anything, and 86 the doo-rags.
The result is a "win-win" for Labor Ready and their temporary employees. I've made $45.40 today. Labor Ready's revenue was more than $1 billion last year. It's great to play for a winning team.
moreResolved Question: D' you like the first chapter to my book?
Chapter 1:
I sat on a jutting rock, listening to my thoughts on a boring Sunday afternoon. My mother always says that laughter is the best medicine. Well, I never really laughed.
Off into the distance, in the sapphire water, my eyes glimpsed something swimming in the sea. It had a tail and was coming towards me.
WHAM!
It was a mermaid. She looked like a porcelain doll, so delicate looking. Her hair was a blonde masterpiece in a goddesses painting. And who says blondes have more fun! She smiled at me and I smiled back. And before I knew it she was gone.
As I walked down the dark, desolate streets of Grobuckle, It was suddenly not sunny anymore. The sun hid itself behind the grayest of clouds. I suspected it was due to rain any second.
I trotted to my house and greeted my grandmas like usual. My grandma has been my caretaker since I was 5; that’s when my mother and father passed away in a hurricane over in Cancun. Now it’s just me and my grandma and 50 dollars a week. We get by, but sometimes it’s tough. Some weeks we don’t have enough food. Other weeks we do. I cry. It hurts me when mother’s day and father’s day come around. In school we have to make cards for father’s day and mother’s day
“My father and mother pass some years ago,” I’d tell them.
I and my grandma talked over some cookies and hot brewed tea. She was a hot ticket to be around. All the glorious stories she told me about growing up in this town of Grobuckle were amazing.
“Elijah not so fast,” she said while I plowed through those chocolate chip cookies, “you want to get a pain right in your tum, tum?” We have the best of times and the worst of times.
Monday morning crept in on me so fast that I looked in the mirror and said, “Wow!” I got ready for school that day and walked like a turtle to the bus stop, where my best friend Bryan and Alec were standing. Just then I remembered I forgot to eat breakfast.
“Hi guys,” I said while yawning. Boy was I tired. I hadn’t gone to bed since midnight the previous night. So that had something to do with it, plus I didn’t eat breakfast.
“Elijah, why so tired? Did you forget about the big test in Science?” Bryan said to me. I had forgotten completely about the test and was dreading the day ahead.
“Bryan,” Alec said while standing on a rock next to a red hexagon sign that said: STOP, “I’m going to ask Alicia out today.” I and Bryan steered at him with eyes of despair.
“Good luck with that,” I said, my voice making Alec feel hopeless.
The yellow bus whipped around the corner and the red stop sign magically moved from the side of the bus telling drivers to stop! I, Alec, and Bryan got in a straight line, waited for the doors to open, climbed on and took our seats. The seats were nice and comfy and a teal blue color. I sat in seat F, so I was closer to the bus driver then the kids in the way back. All of my friends in the sixth grade were near me. Unfortunately, the most annoying kid everyone hated was in the seat across from me. Boy! Was he loud!
The bus picked up the rest of the kids waiting for the bus and we neared school. Since the bus driver picked us up early, we had to wait anxiously in the bus for what seemed like ages. Finally, after waiting a while, we heard the principle say: “Let them in please.” We lined up and then filed one by one to the big brick building we called: SCHOOL!
After the morning announcements, the day started. Period 3 came first and I had Science. This period was one I wasn’t looking forward too.
The test was a multiple about Space. It wasn’t really that hard. There were only one or two I got stuck on…. So I guessed. The next day when we got our tests back I got a 95. Relieved, I took a deep, deep, breath, and looked gaily at the red 95 on my quiz.
The day of Saturday, April the 24th, I saw my first glimpse of what it felt like to lose someone, other than my parents.
“Grandma,” I called, “Grandma.”
“Elijah,” she said in a soft crackled voice. I ran over to the sound of her faint voice and there she was, on the ground wheezing. “Elijah, I love you.” I had no incantation in me at the time. Those words kept repeating in my mind. I called 911 and waited by her side while she lay down on the ground. I put my head on her chest and her heart pounded as fast as a train with hydraulics. Her last words sounded something like: “Elijah, come with me.”
One single tear dripped helplessly down my rosy cheeks. There was a sudden knock on the door and then it opened. The ambulance crew flooded in the small house. It got crowded quickly.
“What’s wrong?” one of the paramedics asked. I turned my head with tears in my eyes, and said in a whiny, baby sort of voice, “I think she’s dead.” The paramedic looked at me in a worried face as I continued to cry my eyes out.
