Journal

This one time when I was with my friends we were walking around and another group of kids walked right next to us just staring at us with a weird look on they're faces. I didn't like the way they were looking at me, so I started to say stuff that was offending them. Then we all started fighting and then the cops were called and over half of the people got arrested that were involved in the fight.

circle justice

Circles are found in the Native American cultures of the United States and Canada, and are used there for many purposes. Their adaptation to the criminal justice system developed in the 1980s as First Nations peoples of the Yukon and local justice officials attempted to build closer ties between the community and the formal justice system. In 1991, Judge Barry Stuart of the Yukon Territorial Court introduced the sentencing circle as a means of sharing the justice process with the community

Thanksgiving Day

On Thanksgiving Day I went to Portland to see some family members that I havn't seen in a while. I had alot of fun with everybody. I even got to see my mom and my little sister. It was really fun to spend time with my little sister. I took her out to eat, then I took her to Wonderland and she had a blast there.

The reason I'm thankful

I am thankful for the people that I live with, because if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be doing the things I'm doing today. Like coming to school every morning, staying out of trouble and the main reason I am thankful is that I have a roof over my head.

Paranormal Experience

I like to watch any t.v. show to do with paranormal, like ghost hunters. The reason I like to watch shows, like ghost hunters, is because when I was a little kid I lived in a haunted house for four years and nobody believed me when I said it was haunted, until one day my brother-in-law was in the shower and he was the only one home. He said that when he got out of the shower he saw someone go towards the back door. So he went to check it out and when he got to the back door, he said he saw something like a dark shadow standing in the corner. He said he ran as fast as he could and he went inside and locked all the doors. Then the blinds in the living room all the sudden went up and he said the lights started flickering on and off.
