Education is the key to success because without it we wouldn’t have the knowledge to thrive in the world.
We wouldn’t thrive in the world without education because, education is getting knowledge.  Knowledge is: acquaintance or familiarity gained by sight, experience, or report, says Dictionary.com.  If we weren’t acquaint or familiar to the things we see, experience or report, we wouldn’t be able to do anything.  Life without knowledge is death in disguise ~ Talib Kweli.  Knowledge is the key to all human powers.
Even in the beginning of human race there was education.  In the bible, Adam and Eve, were taught not to eat the forbidden fruit.  The first humans were even taught.  They were given education.  Without education, evolution would die down.  We would invent anything new and when everything we know runs out, we won’t have the education to make new things

Life is also easier with an education.  This fisherman had a harsh childhood.  Read his story about how he felt about getting education.  http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/03/07/a-fishermans-tale-about-life-without-an-education/.  Isn’t is sad.  He seemed so happy when he got education, because he could do things he couldn’t before.


Education is the key to success and the happiness in life.

On Sunday, I went skating with Jordyn.  We went to Troy Sports Center.  We made up dances with my sister Erika and performed them.  One thing that I was sad about, was that my dad didn't sharpen my blades, so I kept sliding to the sides and didn't attempt any jumps.  But it was so fun, that I didn't even mind.

Have you ever noticed that someone is being violent because they were hiding somthing?   In the book Insurgent by Veronica Roth, Tris realizes that the Erudite are trying to kill Divergent because the information that they are hiding, is so important.


The information that they are hiding must be so important because Jeanine kills 2 people to keep it secret.  Jeanine, the Erudite leader has tried to put everyone under a simulation so they won't try to find out the secret information.  But there's one thing in her way.  The simulation doesn't work on the Divergent.  Jeanine wants to experiment with the Divergent so bad, that she uses 2 Dauntless under the simulation to commit suicide, by jumping off the top of the building.  I think that it's too much.  she should've only kidnapped a Dauntless.  Not by killing 2 Dauntless.  ("This is not a negotiation.  It's a warning," says the simulation through Marlene, moving her lips and vibrating her throat. "Every two days until one of you delivers yourself to Erudite headquarters, this will happen again."

Marlene steps back...)

Since the information is so secret, the Erudite are using simulation controlled people to guard it.  Their safety system is so precice since they are under a simulation, it makes them look like they don't want anyone to get into the Headquarters.  It makes me feel like the information will destroy them.  The information could probably tear apart so thing that took a long time to build.  What ever it is, it seems like something to die for.  (Standing in four rows infront of us are a group of people, mostly dressed in black an white, spaced two feet apart, guns held up and ready.  I blink and the become simulation-controlled Dauntless in the Abnegation sector during the simulation attack.)

Jeanine even wanted and did, examine Tris, to learn how to make a simulation that controlled Divergent so she could control everyone and make sure they didn't find out the information.  And she was particularly happy that Tris came.  After the 2 Dauntless jump off the roof, Tris turns herself in to Jeanine.  Jeanine is very plaesed that Tris in particular came, because since Tris is one of the strongest Divergent, so if she finds a simulation that can control her, it can control almost all of the Divergent.  I think it's a little sick to examine a person to control people like them, because it just doesn't seem right.  I would never do it, even if I was hiding information.  Because, I respect people's privacy.  I wouldn't go poking around and examining them.  ("I am very pleased that you, in particular, are here," says Jeanine.  She walks past me and perches on the table, her fingers curled around the edges."I am pleased, of course, because of your aptitude test result." Her blond hair, pulled tight to her skull, reflects the light, catches my attention.  "Even among Divergent, you are somewhat of an oddity, because you have an apptitude for three factions.  Abnegation, Dauntless and Erudite." "How..." my voice croak.  I push the question out. "How did you know that?" "All in a good time," she says.  "From your result I have ditermined that you are one of the strongest Divergent, which I say not to compliment you but explain my purpose.  If I am to develop a simulation that cannot be thwarted by the Divergent mind, I. must study the strongest Divergent mind in order to  shore up all weaknesses in the technology.  Understand?")

In Insurgent by Veronica Roth, Tris  realizes that the Erudite is holding information.  While learning that, she learns that some people are untrustworthy and were some people, she thought, would never betray her.  In her journey, she uncovers the importance of the information.

The Erudite are keeping their head quarters so safe because they don't want anyone to attack and steal the information.  Their safety system is so precice since they are under a simulation, it makes them look like they don't want anyone to get into the Headquarters.  It makes me feel like the information will destroy them.  (Standing in four rows infront of us are a group of people, mostly dressed in black an white, spaced two feet apart, guns held up and ready.  I blink and the become simulation-controlled Dauntless in the Abnegation sector during the simulation attack.)

Jeanine try's to keep the information so safe but when the Divergent won't go under the simulation, Jeanine is so happy that one of the strongest Divergent came, so if Tris can be controlled by the simulation all the Dauntless can.  After the 2 Dauntless jump off the roof, Tris turns herself in to Jeanine.  Jeanine is very plaesed that Tris in particular came, because since Tris is one of the strongest Divergent, so if she finds a simulation that can control her, it can control almost all of the Divergent.  I think it's a little sick to examine a person to control people like them, because it just doesn't seem right.  ("I am very pleased that you, in particular, are here," says Jeanine.  She walks past me and perches on the table, her fingers curled around the edges."I am pleased, of course, because of your aptitude test result."

I love my special pen.  It's a  blue fountain pin.  I like fountain pens because they are a little leaky.  I only use it sign my name and write in my very special, figure skating note book.  I love how it looks a little sparkly.  It's one of my favorite things to write with.

Public Bathroom Sanitation
By Vivian

Problem
cause/effect
solution

I can’t describe how disgusting they are!  Isn't it just so gross when you have to use a public bathroom?  Some people don't realize how many germs are lurking in the bathroom corners.  When you walk into the bathroom stall, does it ever hit you, how many people have sat on the toilet seat?  Most of bathrooms are poorly cleaned.  An average of 1 out of 3 people don't wash their hands after using a public bathroom!  How many people use public bathrooms a day!  There must be a gazillion germs in there!  Scientists have even found out the cleanest part of the public bathrooms are the toilet seats!  Isn’t that a shocker?  Think of all the commonly touched areas of the restroom. They must be teaming with germs.  The bathroom probably has more germs than there are people on earth!  Don’t be surprised because even a normal bathroom faucet has 6,272 bacteria per square inch.
The cause of these problems are us.  As I said before.  1 out of 3 people don’t wash their hands after using the bathroom.  It’s a choice, it’s not like we’re getting forced to leave the restrooms a mess!  Even flushing the toilet sprays millions of germs into the air, which is not something we can control, but can’t people just install covers to keep the germs from splashing out?  People leave the bathrooms a mess!  Public bathrooms are disaster zones.  It’s just carelessness!  Do you ever think to leave the bathroom as if you were the next person to use it?!  I mean, do you really want to use a bathroom that looks disgusting?  It feels like you never think about the person using the bathroom after you.  It also causes diseases to spread such as E-cōli, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Streptococcus, etc.  This creates big problems for human health.  People could contract so many germs in a quick trip to the bathroom.



In conclusion, right now we can’t keep the public bathrooms totally clean, but we can do many simple things to help.  Such as washing your hands, making sure the stall looks as clean as if you were going to use it next, properly dispose all used sanitation items and flush after using the restroom.  Public restrooms can also install toilet lids to keep all the germs out of the air.  All these little things can keep you and other people safe in the bathroom.  Maybe in the future, we can even install self-cleaning toilets, but for now we can try our best and do these simple actions.

The problem Isabel is facing is segregation.  Segregation is the separation of Caucasian and African American.  Today it is like gender discrimination in other countries.  In segregation, African Americans and Caucasians didn't have the same rights and Caucasians thought that they were better than African Americans.  To the present time, gender discrimination is the new slavery.  In some countries women don't have the same rights as men.  Men think they're so superior.  Women can't show their faces in some countries.  In the US, gender discrimination happened a long time ago.  Women couldn't vote!  But know a days, we all have equal rights.

My new skates are amazing!!!! I can't wait to try them out.  The brand is tattooed onto the snow white tongue in golden letters "American".  It is so much easier to do a scorpion now.  I just hook my fingers onto the blade and pull upwards.  The inside is soft and fuzzy, making skating comfortable and fun.  The white leather is so smooth.  I like how the outside stays in place.  Unlike leather boots.  They fall right over.  I remeber when I laced them up over the weekend.  I love gliding across ice.

Yesterday I went to the LAX Jam at Cranbrook.  It was a sweltering afternoon.  My mom dropped me off and I set off to find shade in our team tent.  At first I thought I was going the wrong way, so I went the other way.  Then I decided to see if my tent was in the first cluster when I saw Anna, my teammate.  She led me to a ten that had a big Birmingham sign hanging from the top.
