All of them were taller than me lol and my friendish guy that I danced with said I was really tense but thats ok cuz it was my first time dancing with a guy besides my dad :) so I had lots of fun!! and a guy that I didn't know actually asked me which was pretty kool, so ya.....!!!

I just got home from a basketball game where we had some very stupid refs! they were .....UGH!!! they made me MAD!! I got the ball and was dribbling down and the ref was IN THE WAY, so I try to go around him and does he make any attempt to move? NO he just stands there! so I try to go around him and he blows the whistle (in my ear) for STEPPING ON THE LINE!!! when I didn't have hardly any room to go around him anyway! so it was a stupid ref!!

Immigration
By Baylie Benson

The word immigrate means to come to a country of which one is not a native, usually for permanent residence. When you think about immigration you never think it would happen to you or anyone close to you because you don’t think it’s your problem. Little did I know that I would gain and lose a friend to immigration.
In third world countries there is poverty. Some of the people in poverty are willing and able to work hard. They come to the United States looking for honest hard work. True, some people that come aren’t honest. They come through the border showing fake identifications, visas, passports, green cards, etc. Then they make trouble and expect the government to not put them in jail because they’re an immigrant. Some people come into the United States, looking for work, but having no way to support themselves or their families. Because of the troublemakers and the people who rely on the government, the citizens of the United States are reluctant to open the borders.
Some people come with the understanding that to gain the trust of the United States they must work hard. They come and apply to get citizenship or a green card. Sometimes they are able to get them faster and others cannot get them for up to 10 years! For example, my friend’s family, had been living here for about six years, never causing trouble, or relying on the United States, and they still had to be deported because their citizenship had not been accepted yet.
Our country was built upon immigrants, built upon their sweat, and tears, and their dreams. If there were no immigrants then there would be no America. Not all of the people that came, or still come, are all poor. Some came to have freedom of religion. Some came looking for a better life. Some came looking for money. Still some came because they had no choice.
Our economy is failing. Stock markets are going way down, and we have had one of the biggest bank crashes in history. The economy is so bad that the government called it a recession. Recession means going back or a withdrawal. The United States is telling the immigrants, to go back to their home country. They are doing this so that they can give all the jobs to Americans. Many of the immigrants were attempting to get citizenship before the recession was declared.
I believe that if an immigrant, or a family of immigrants, is legalized, and paying taxes, has a job, is not relying on the United States to feed them or clothe them, they should be able to stay. If they are providing for themselves and their family then their application for citizenship should be put at the top of a stack. What our economy needs is for the people of the United States, be them immigrant or not, to work together, to make peace between countries, and bring our economy up. That is what I believe.
