Graduation

Honestly, I'm ready to graduate but it's going to be bittersweet. I'm going to miss this school and the people in it. I grew up with most of these kids since I was in first grade. All my memories as a kid were with 90% of Sand Creek students. I'm going to miss some of the teachers and seeing everyone that I know every day. Growing up is nice because you get responsibilities and you learn a sense of independence. Going to college is going to change my life. Getting an education to provide my family food on the table in the future. I plan on going to Jackson Community College for my first two years to get a degree in Criminal Justice. After my two years I will most likely transfer. I wish all the underclassmen good luck with the rest of their high school days and I will miss you all. <3

Cinco de Mayo!

Cinco de Mayo—or the fifth of May—commemorates the Mexican army's 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations. Cinco de Mayo traditions include parades, mariachi music performances and street festivals in cities and towns across Mexico and the United States. I think the mexican heritage should celebrate considering America had nothing to do with it. It shouldn't become a national holiday because we weren't apart of it.

As far as no homework day goes, I don't know who came up with it, but teachers arent gonna take that as an excuse so you're going to have to end up doing your homework anyway. I didn't celebrate in it because I didn't want to lose points for some stupid made up holiday.
