Making Decisions Today

for my Tomorrow

When I text

my friends,

I am writing.

TEXTING to WRITE

Texting is a form of writing. Every day I text a friend. Some-

times, I text to give a friend some information. Sometimes, I

text to persuade a friend to do or think something. Sometimes,

I text just for entertainment and make a friend laugh. Some-

times, although it’s not so nice, I text a friend to describe a

classmate. When the other friend finds out what I said in my

text, then I find myself sending a text to explain. Either way, I

am writing every day for different reasons (to inform; to per-

suade; to entertain; to describe or to explain).

Banner year for Gwinnett schools in support of area food banks

A record 172,500 items of canned food and household staples -- enough to fill 8.2 tractor trail-

ers -- were collected by Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) students and staff during the

October 2013 Gwinnett Great Days of Service (www.gwinnettgreatdaysofservice.org).

“The generosity of Gwinnett County Public Schools is overwhelming. It is so gratifying to see

the example set by adults and embraced by young people,” said Ellen Gerstein, executive direc-

tor of Gwinnett Coalition for Health and Human Services (http://gwinnettcoalition.org/).

The Gwinnett County Public Schools Foundation, working in tandem with the Gwinnett

Coalition, assisted 112 Gwinnett County schools and district wide offices in establishing a

countywide food drive. Among the groups that benefitted were the Duluth Co-operative; Law-

renceville Co-operative; North Gwinnett (Buford) Co-operative; Norcross Co-operative; South

East Gwinnett (Snellville) Co-operative; Lilburn Co-operative; The Salvation Army; The Quinn

House, and Huffman House.

Diabetes some of the symptoms

At home, I check my blood sugar and if it is high, 150 and above, I take insulin shots.

This organ in my body no longer produces insulin. I’ll eat, then count up the carbs and figure

out how many units of insulin I have to take for the food. If my family goes out to eat, then I

count the carbs and take the insulin before I eat. If I have low blood sugar, below 70, then I

will eat a snack. At school I do the exact same thing, but I take my insulin before I go and eat.

If my blood sugar is low before lunch then I take the insulin after I eat lunch.

The process of managing my diabetes is going to last my entire whole life. Unless

someone comes up a cure. Although diabetes is not fun, managing it has become easier over

the years. Staying within my blood sugar range of 70—150 helps me to avoid a diabetic coma,

blindness, an amputated limb, or even death.

Diabetes some of the symptoms

Having diabetes is not fun. I would know because I go through the process of manag-

ing it every day. I got diabetes when I was 10 years old, just four years ago. It was a shock to

me! What disease would not be a shock when:

1. You don’t know what it is.

2. You never even heard of it before.

3. You don’t know how you got it.

4. You know it’s going to change your life.

Managing diabetes is a big responsibility to take hold of especially for a young person. At

home and at school managing diabetes is different, but the steps are the same.

Recipe by Khadija

Manjang Cooking brownies is fun and easy to

do. You and your child can cook

brownies either from mix or from scratch. You can create a fancy brownie by making cute pictures

on your brownies after they cool down.

First, put foil in the 9×13 baking pan and make sure you spray vegetable oil on the foil to keep the

brownies from sticking. Hang a little extra foil on each side of the pan so you can lift the brownies

from the pan easy.

Second, put the pan of brownies in the oven. Follow the

amount of time for baking on the box. You can make the

brownies colorful or add a crunch to it, add chocolate chips

and nuts. (Nuts only if you are not allergic)

Third, once the brownies are done allow them to cool at

least for 15 minutes. *Remember* Use the extra foil to take

the brownies out of the pan.

Forth, you can either cut the brownies in a square shape or use a cookie cutter to create different

shapes and sizes.

Fifth, decoration Time! Spread your frosting onto the brownie. Create your own

picture or a portrait of each other. Just have fun with it! You can use various

types of candy for the eyes and nose and mouth. Use a popsicle stick to help

you smooth out different frostings in order to create your very own picture.

Last, Do not forget to clean up after you are done.

It’s the Little things that make a Big difference.

Crash Camera By Destiny Parks-Gilbert

“Mom!” said Maya. “Why don’t you trust me to drive? I am a

good driver and I already passed my driving test,” said Maya. “I just

want to protect you that’s all; and to make sure you follow the rules

of the road,” said Maya’s mother. Two out of every five teens in

America die due to texting and driving. I think parents should get

crash cameras for their child’s safety. Overall, crash cameras have been beneficial in

teen driving because they cause their behavior to be modified.

If teens know that their parent or guardian is watching them drive, they would

tend to drive safer. Statistics show that teens would do better if supervised. For exam-

ple my sister has a crash camera in her car, and she has stopped texting while driving,

and she pays more attention to the road; although teenagers and phones are like pea-

nut butter and jelly, stuck together.

For many teens, a driver’s license feels like the key to freedom and fun, but with

cameras in the car; it takes the freedom and fun all away. Teens feel like parents don’t

trust them. If you want your parents to trust you and follow the rules, you might want

to stay away from behaviors while driving such as smoking, drinking, and loud music

which can be disastrous. Although some teens are safe drivers, they still can become

distracted by other things on the road. Parents who trust their children with the privi-

lege of driving should also be able to trust that they will follow the rules of the road.

There are multiple reasons for or against using crash cameras in teens vehicles, but the

main factors are safety and trust between the parent and child.

The crash camera has been said to help teens become better drivers, and to pro-

tect them out on the road. It is proven that teens correct their mistakes after viewing

the recordings on crash cameras encouraging them to be more careful on the road. It

is your choice whether or not to purchase a crash camera for your teen’s car; your

child’s life may depend on it.

Friendship An Experience of the Heart

by Khadija Manjang

Friendship is an experience of the heart. It is so strong that years

of living could not pull it apart. A true friend is honest , trust worthy ,

and supportive.

Honesty is like a honey bun, the first time you eat it it’s perfect.

But too much, of anything can make you sick. My friends and I are hon-

est with each other. If you lie to your friends too much they won’t be-

lieve you even if you’re telling the truth. Be honest with yourself and

with other people.

Trustworthy is being someone that your friends can trust with any

of their secrets. You can talk about your problems and not worry

about them telling anyone. For an example. I have a friend who likes

telling me all her problems such as family issues. I would give her advice

on what to do about it without sharing it with others.

Being supportive means that your best friend for life will be beside

you through the obstacles that you face. They are always there no

matter what! That is why you can rely on them for support.

Although a friend may not be perfect, the friendship can be per-

fect: perfectly honest, trustworthy, and supportive.

Test Anxiety can be lessened by

Learning some test taking strategies, Studying, Taking a deep breath,

and Answering question number 40 with the same intensity and focus

as you answered questioned number 1. Let’s see, A looks like C. B

was not a part of the lesson.

And D makes no sense.
